a fabulous new treat

and a sprinkle of magic

as a Harry Potter aficionado, i am equally as thrilled to enjoy the loveliness of new and unique fashion as i am to learn that our own little Hermoine (Emma Watson) is all grown up and looking super chic for fashionistas out there. i for one can't get over how much she's grown up since HP began and hope that the school daze doesn't hinder her from 'acting' out once again...i plan on snagging the Teen Vogue when it comes out, because well, let's face it, i'm still a bit of a teen-drama-queen.

just a lil pitfall

i've been having trouble deciding what i wanted to tackle for my next blog, as it was only a week or so ago that i decided this wouldn't just be about living green but about feeling green as well. though this weekend should have been filled with friends and family activities, i felt once again discrimination in my friend choices. as my birthday is fast approaching it has become even more relevant that this decade should be the time of my life and i am just not accepting that. instead i tend to dwell on whatever little situation hurt me most recently and focus on that rather than everything good - as i am most typically one to show my emotions on my sleeve i am having trouble faking a smile to those i choose to disapprove of; i know i should be more willing to see around the situation and not let it affect me, but it will as i personally invested serious time. i just can't seem to comprehend it, but i have to understand that not everyone is the same. though i've never truly thought of myself as a giving individual, i guess in comparison to many others (many of whom i've friended, invested time in, etc) i am the Gandhi or sorts (of course, extreme exaggeration). it's unfortunate, and the only words that could get me through the weekend were from my parents, desperately seeking their wisdom now more than ever before, and making me dream of when i can visit again.

i want a bite

this is why i want to live in New York. anything is possible. maybe i've watched too much sex and the city but something about the big apple just gets me all excited. i should probably visit before i make my final decision.

i even got barney on my side

i'm not sure if this is legit since i had trouble finding more information, but Barneys New York is giving 20 percent off for people interested in purchasing the new hand painted eco-friendly line Loomstate Organic if you bring in an old tee. 

San Francisco Barney's.

4th floor. 

Saturday, 2-5pm. 

check it out if in the area, i am totally jealous. 

delicious.

just makes me want some for myself. 

hello world, here I am.

I decided today that I wasn't going to just post about surviving green in my label obsessed society, because frankly I would rather just live as green and healthy as possible before the rest of the world poops out. As a new blogger I've only recently discovered how "green" this entire process can be and am truly looking forward to writing and exploring everything I can about creating a healthier me and a happier Mother Earth. 

Though some who know me might be skeptical as to my concept behind such an endeavor, I hope to become a writer someday and I would just like to say that having someone read your personal work is so much more revealing than anything else in the world - and as I've never done this before it comes on a bit daunting. One of the biggest things I've struggled with over the years is finding my voice - while I'm still searching I'd like to think that this blog, in whatever arena, will help me get there. 

Meanwhile I'd like to think that this is just the beginning of all my discoveries as I grow and hopefully become more Mother Nature friendly! 

drink it up

I'm trying to be better about economizing, so when I visited Henry's Farmer Market this weekend, I was impressed that my favorite friendly market also is making steps to keep things organic while also stylish. The latest is the organic and biodynamic wine available in a boxed form; while I have yet to purchase the $17 box (even the box is made with organic materials!), here's what Henry's had to say:

"Under the new USDA National Organic Program, Organic Wines are made from certified organic grapes and contain no additives, such as sulfites or tartaric acid. Organic and biodynamic methods of food production seek to minimize damage to ecosystems and create a stable agriculture into perpetuity."

One of my most exciting discoveries that I read about was that Frey Vineyards is one of the few wineries that offers such eco-friendly harvesting - located in Redwood Valley, California, their website gives up a plethora of distributors in the US, Canada, Europe and Asia that sell this organic goodness. Finally I can enjoy a night out, or even a night in, guilt-free and green happy!
