reLYME

I'm beginning to feel very encouraged these days when big name designers embrace social media, especially in the name of Twitter. When I learned that Rachel Roy, has started Tweeting as well, I couldn't click the "Follow" button fast enough.

And now, she is giving her @Rachel_Roy Twitter followers the opportunity to get to know her behind-the-scenes.

On April 29th, Rachel will be guest Tweeting on @Coutorture LIVE (6 PM - 8 PM EST) from the Rachel Rachel Roy launch event. (Follow @Coutorture for more info!)

If that's not enough, the talented and inspiring designer will give her fans and followers the opportunity to ask her questions about her designs, including her new diffusion line, Rachel Rachel Roy: on April 30th at 3 PM EST, Rachel will be participating in her first ever LIVE Twitter press conference!

The Twitter press conference is available to all who tag questions with #RachelRoy!

If you've been reading reLYME for any length of time, you probably know by now that I'm gung-ho for a eco-conscious lifestyle! Well, here's yet another reason for me to get excited...and you to get involved!

Starting today, Origins stores will begin accepting all of your empty beauty product containers from any brand as part of their new recycling initiative for Earth Month. (Yes, any brand. Not just Origins!)

And, in select stores (scroll to the bottom, please!), the first 100 people to return empty containers will receive a deluxe sample of A Perfect World Intensely Hydrating Body Cream. Of course, you'll have to call your nearest Origins location for more info!

Also, Origins is also inviting bloggers and Origins fans to share event info and pictures of their beauty recyclables:

Here's what you can do:

♥Tweet to your green heart's delight using hashtag #OriginsTrashTalk

Here's my contribution SO far. I still have more cleaning to do!:

Your good deeds won't go unnoticed! For every new Facebook Fan and every image (of your long-forgotten beauty empties) that's uploaded to Flickr and tagged "Origins Trash Talk" the brand will plant a tree in your honor.
