First let me say, shouldn’t Earth Day be celebrated 365 days a year? Nonetheless, it’s a nice reminder to have a special single day on the calendar to remind us of our responsibilities as stewards of this amazing place billions that billions of us call home.

GREEN! It makes perfect sense that I’m sitting here on St. Patrick’s Day reading a friend’s new book, Green Enough: Eat Better, Live Cleaner, Be Happier (All Without Driving Your Family Crazy!) by Leah Segedie. As you know from the recipes I share here, I’m totally in to eating lean, clean and green. In addition to taking charge of my health, I also care about the environment I live in and its people – I attribute most of these leanings to the upbringing of my tree-hugging, humanitarian mom. 
But sometimes all of the hot-topic “green” issues can become confusing, there is so much information to process. And, it can sometimes seem crazy impossible to implement with the busy lifestyle I . . . we . . . lead. But, founder of Mamavation.com Leah Segedie’s new book Green Enough makes it easy to understand and implement. If you want to learn how to live better, eat better and raise healthier kids without a lot of stress, read on – I’m sharing 10 Easy Ways You Can Be Green Enough Now! Continue reading

Whoohoo, spring is almost officially here . . . and we’ve been experiencing lots of warm weather here in Austin, just in time for Spring Break, SXSW and all the outdoor fun that goes on in this great city.

I wrote this poem nearly a decade ago (and won a trip to Fashion Week in NYC) and yet it still seems so fitting today! “It’s fab to wear cotton when grueling at the gym. But more than that, cotton lets me walk a fashion limb. I’ve got cotton denim skinnies that I sport around the town, as well as a hooded jacket and a stellar evening gown. My friends all say I’m stylish, despite my lack of silks and furs, just peek into my cotton closet and I’m sure you will concur”!
Probably the only thing that’s changed about my love for cotton is that I now make a point of purchasing and wearing organic cotton whenever possible. Cotton grown and processed without the use of harmful chemicals, fertilizers and pesticides is better for the earth, the farmers, for me . . and for you! A brand I particularly love is prAna, not just for the intersection of adventure and fashion, but also because their clothing is mindfully made to support sustainable practices and fair trade. Read on to learn more about organic cotton, this company’s best practices, discover my favorite finds for the season and to get a great discount code. Continue reading
