Bounce!

[November 8]

I can’t help but feel like my life is a mini struggle between finding convenience and responsibility. I do my best on a regular basis to make sure that as a family we incorporate safe and sustainable practices, but often at times I know that itís only reasonable that I make some compromises to get [...]

Nature and Art: A Fabulous Combination

[June 9]

I found this video through an awesome blog: Black Eiffel that I read every so often for design inspiration.  I fell in love with this clip and wanted to share.  It reminds me how special this world is and how worth it it is to protect it!  It also reminds me how much more of [...]

miYim Organic Baby Toys

[April 5]

My sister-in-law is about to have twins supersoon and it got me thinking about what to bring to the hospital for them when they’re born.  We’ve already bought her some necessity type things for the shower, so I thought a little something cute would be nice for when they arrive. miYim is an earth-friendly company [...]

Babycakes in My Brooklyn Bed AND at Disney!

[March 14]

I’ve mentioned Babycakes Bakery in passing here and here.  Babycakes is a refined sugar-free, gluten-free, wheat-free, soy-free, casein-free, egg-free, vegan, kosher bakery.  And it’s damn good! Every time we’re out to dinner in downtown Manhattan I make Richie do a drive by on the way home for some post dinner goodies (thank goodness they’re open [...]

Holton Farms CSA in my building!!!

[March 11]

A while back, my friend Bret wrote us a guest post on produce, CSA’s (community supported agriculture), and Holton Farms (here).  Since then (maybe even before then) I’ve been totally into finding a local CSA to get me some superfresh and local produce on a weekly basis.  I researched a bunch of programs, but between [...]

Fun Baking Tools I know I usually post about a recipe, but I thought this time I’d share with you  the fun baking tools I have.  These are by no means absolute, must have, I can’t make a cake without them, but they sure are fun to have in the kitchen and make baking a [...]

A New Age and The World of Topshop

[February 23]

Since Topshop opened in Manhattan Richie and I have been a little obsessed.  The clothing is well priced and totally stylin.  Lots of it is vegan, though not eco-friendly or organic per se, but it is easy on the pocket and the eyes. Here’s what I will say for them, they give discounts for students [...]

Cloth Napkins by MU Are For Me

[February 17]

I while back I mentioned my goal to stop using paper towel in an effort to be less wasteful.  Since then we’ve adopted another earth-friendly habit in our home: cloth napkins.  I realized we created so much waste with paper napkins three times a day every day and wanted to find a solution.  When wandering [...]

Responsible Home

[January 13]

I feel like I’m in a constant struggle between style and responsibility when it comes to decorating my home.  In an ideal world, all the fabrics would be organic and the wood would all be reclaimed.  Unfortunately, in that ideal world, I’d also probably be selling my apartment because I’d have spent way over budget [...]

Guest Post AND Giveaway(!): Rachael Honowitz

[December 8]

Rachael is an old friend who I met when working in fashion.  We kept in touch after all these years and both found the world of organics and holistics and reconnected over that.  Go figure!  It’s always so good to know that there are not only like-minded people out there to share these things with, [...]
