Fall Shopping: Back to ...
As much as we hate to admit it, summer is almost over. And that means no more summer hours, summer vacations, or daily ice cream cones. But we’ll help make the butterflies-in-your-stomach transition as easy (and cheap!) as possible with 10 fall essentials under $10. You can even buy two of the products directly from us, thanks to our partners at OpenSky. What’s easier than that? Definitely not getting up when it’s still dark outside. That may be the hardest thing in...
Prince Charles’ Susta...
The sustainable living battle cry is so much a part of Prince Charles ’ spirit that he’s embarked on a five day tour of his homeland (including visits to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Carmarthen, Bristol, Todmorden, Nottingham, Manchester and Birmingham) via a cooking fat-fueled train in order to meet-greet his fellow countrymen and spread the good green word. Unfortunately, there is some controversy swirling around his journey since it’s costing taxpayers £50,000 (=$44,599 USD ) to...
‘Cannibal’ Restaura...
It may in fact be healthier for your body and easier on the planet to eschew animal protein, but pursuing a vegetarian lifestyle still remains a matter of personal choice. There’s nothing wrong with sharing your perspective with the world and perhaps even triggering a few light bulb moments along the way, but even the most devout vegetarians have occasionally taken issue with some of the extreme tactics embraced by organizations such as PETA to spread the word. The animal rights...
Wine Industry Trend? In...
I recently became involved with Toast Wine Lounge , a start-up wine bar in my new neighborhood (did everyone catch that disclaimer…). The founders, Heather and Kristen, have so much going for them and their business plan that’s its hard to single out what really caught my eye. That said, there was one thing that really stuck out: In addition to selling t-shirts and pre-purchase punch cards, Toast is raising start-up capital by selling memberships : We need YOUR help!...Sponsored Post: Erica&#...

Kate Hudson’s Eco-Veg...
The secret to Kate Hudson ’s lush, flowing locks? For a while, it looked as if she might not be able to lather up with her ill-fated eco-friendly hair care line “ David Babaii for WildAid ”. Fans might recall that Goldie ’s daughter has been caught up in a 2+ year long law suit regarding – of all things – volcanic ash. A company called 220 Labs accused the sunny beauty and her partner, stylist-to-the-stars David Babaii , of stealing what they claimed was actually their...
New Season Of ‘The Ap...
We’re not gonna lie, we have a special place in our hearts for cheesy reality shows…especially when they feature a green contestant we can put our support behind. Such is the case with the upcoming season of ‘The Apprentice.’ This season, the show is themed around the current recession and follows 16 “economically challenged candidates” battling it out for a coveted spot on Trump’s team. Included in the cast is vegetarian and avid...
