Loomstate Celebrates The 40th Anniversary of Earth Day and I celebrated with them!

[April 16]

The supercool people over at Loomstate invited me to their “Our Magnificent Earth” party this past wednesday. It was held at Good Units, the new bar/night club at the Hudson Hotel.  The room was filled with savvy New Yorkers sipping Absolute Vodka and enjoying the atmosphere which can only be described as the coolest basement [...]

I am Eloise, I am Six

[April 15]

Ok, so this post is certainly not green, but it’s still good! I have such a special place in my heart for Kay Thompson’s Eloise.  I’m pretty sure I used to make my mom read it to me on a daily basis.  And although I was really young, I have such amazing memories (whole sections [...]

Missing Those Tropical Jamaican Days

[April 14]

Last week we had phenomenal weather.  Seriously summer weather.  It was unreal!  I’m talkin flip flops and tanks…sundresses even. This week leaves something to be desired in the warm and sunny department and I can’t help but think back to Jamaica which feels like it was years ago (but really was just weeks).  I bought [...]

Time for New Toms

[April 13]

My Toms have taken a beating!  I the spring, fall, and most of the summer I live in my Toms.  I usually have two pairs so it doesn’t seem like I never change.  Last year I wore my way through a natural canvas and a black canvas pair.  They are super easy to slip on, [...]

Middle Eastern at Mom’s

[April 12]

We spent this past weekend in Connecticut with my parents.  It’s always so relaxing being there with them.  Getting out of the city for a weekend is a perfect way to slow down, rejuvenate, and break up our daily routine. My parents are amazingly helpful with Avital which gives me a bit of time to [...]

Buy, Sell, Trade?!?

[April 9]

Ok, so I didn’t when I ventured into Govnor’s Vintage (Park Slope’s new vintage thrift shop), but it’s definitely in the cards for me. Shopping vintage is not only one of my favorite things to do (I literally built a clothing line out of vintage t’s, but that’s a whole nother post and was what [...]

Knish Sandwich, Um, Yum!

[April 8]

As I have the chance to explore and eat my way through my new neighborhood, Park Slope, Brooklyn I’m finding so so many amazing little places. Last weekend we were on the hunt for a veggie burger and some fries (Avi’s favorite snack) and stumbled upon this tiny (or what looked tiny) little restaurant a [...]

Breastfeeding: Organic at it’s Best and the Art of Relaxing Wrapped Up in One

[April 7]

While I grew up in a house where gourmet was everyday and style ran rampant, there was not much emphasis on natural per-se.  My mom had an epidural both with me and my sister.  We were both bottle-fed and meat was on the menu from an early age.  There was not much thought to doing [...]

Guilt Free Fashion

[April 6]

Often at times I find that my sense of style directly conflicts with my vegan goals.  I can’t help but want want want.  I think it’s a product of growing up in a society where it’s commonplace, even fashionable, to be materialistic.  Our royalty (celebrities) are never seen wearing the same thing and always first [...]

Yup, Vegan Matza Brei

[April 5]

Friday morning, Richie stayed home from work since his office was closed, so I decided to make us a real, sit down, family breakfast (a rarity in this house I’ll admit).  Matza brei was one of my favorite Passover treats that I’d eat constantly during the holiday and any time I’d see it on a [...]
