Just a hoodie, you say? Wrong.

EarthPositive is about as eco as you can get. They use wind and solar power to make their simple tees and hoods. How can you not love that?

I have a bunch of reusable bags, and I love them all, but they’re just simple prints and such.

This new bag from Fashionable Notes is great for taking around the Farmer’s Market…

$10 (there’s larger versions available for $22)

I am obsessed with sunscreen. I wear it all the time. So, I got all excited when the EWG released their 2009 report.

You should check it out, then go shopping for a good, toxin-free sunscreen. You’ll need it. I see a sunburn right there on your shoulder.

What are we eating?

I haven’t talked a lot about what i do personally on the food front in a while and when my fabulous friend Mark (@standupkid) showed me this movie on the food industry, I thought it was time.

I won’t get on a soapbox here, but as much as I am a foodie, I think that gourmet shouldn’t mean that we’re eating gross stuff. Gourmet to me is fresh, delicious, wholesome food. I rarely, if ever, eat something from a box. If i do, it’s usually mac and cheese, a comfort food that is way too much effort to make for one.

A long time ago, I gave up red meat and dairy for the most part. I do still love a burger now and then, I enjoy bacon, and I eat cheese, cuz cheese replacements suck. But for the most part I avoid those foods because I’ve read about how the big and bad meat and dairy industry rules the world. It’s gross. I also don’t drink soda unless it’s got cane sugar or stevia in it. Corn syrup is gross.

I mean look at your food. Really look at it. Where does it come from? Who make it? How many cows went into that burger? There is no reason you shouldn’t know the answers to this stuff.

It is expensive to eat local and organic, but every step takes. I use the wonderful LOVE Delivery service here in Los Angeles, and I get a heaping box full or organic fruits and veggies every other week. It’s a step. I am going to try to make it out to a Farmer’s Market soon and im’ on a constant hunt for farm-fresh eggs (I know, in LA? but it must exist!)

So just think about it a for a minute before you go make your dinner, that is all.

My pick? Kimberly Sayer Organic Ultra Light Facial Moisturizer with SPF25.
