In the coming weeks i’ll be sharing some fall activities that’ll be great for children, families, dates, etcetera. Just because it’s getting cooler doesnt mean your activities have to be dull. In fact, now is the time to get out, the weather is perfect. Not only will the activities I share be packed with fun and economical, there will be many ways to make your trip more eco friendly. First stop on the fall activity train???
A farm. Yes, visit a farm. Most states in the US, have local farms, or a State Park that has something like a farm. This is a perfect activity for children ages 3-9, and more often than not, the farm will have hayrides considering the season. While farms are usually free, you may have to pay a small fee for hay rides. Bring your own lunch, reusable water bottle, and enjoy a nice outing. I had a doting 3 year old with me last week and she enjoyed every minute of the farm and carousel ride. Going home was quite the challenge.
Have you been to the farm yet?? Don’t forget to pack your own lunch.
Hey guys, just wanted to share a local eco find I discovered at my local Whole Foods. Its already bad enough that I love grocery shopping, but when one of your most frequented stores carries clothes as well, its hard to not indulge. I decided to treat myself to a beautiful dress made by Threads 4 Thought (w/ 60% organic cotton). I love it bc its super comfy, soft, and feminine. Check it out…
Thumbs up to Threads 4 Thought!! Check them out + they have other really cute stuff. Now, I have a confession. As you can see, I got 2… yes, dont judge me 😦 . I always feel like an old person when I buy different colors of the same thing but when you see something you like, why not get multiples right? Right! haha. Anyway, Im finding that a lot of stores are selling more sustainable clothing, quality vegan “leather”, etc. Good thing is, youre almost always getting better quality material regardless of the price.
You can find this adina dress on their website for $40 ($10 more than what I paid) here.. http://www.threadsforthought.com/store/adina-dress-1.html?color=periwinkle
I have more reviews + companies to check out coming soon, including $5 finds. Stay tuned! Also, a post on exactly what eco fashion is and why it’s for you.
Do you have any eco fashion clothing? Jewelry? Or pieces that were created locally? handmade? Id love to know.
Here’s a easy simple watermelon smoothie recipe. 3 ingredients! Watermelon, ice, mint leaves. You can use your discretion but I used about 2 cups of watermelon, 2 mint leaves, 1.5 cups of ice. Add more or less as you please.
The key to this recipe is the order you put your ingredients in the blender. If you don’t have a decent high speed blender, have your mint leaves on bottom, then ice, then watermelon. Happy Blending!
Yesterday I went to a very special place in Maryland’s nature. I call it special because there was hardly anyone there, well, except for a few fisherman. Story, on that later. In the meantime, as the men fished, I sat on the pier and watched tiny little fish swim by. As they swam, I noticed something. A fish no longer than my pinky finger was creating ripples in the water 1-3 feet out, in all directions.
It reminded me that every action that we take, every thought, every lazy moment, like the fish, creates a ripple. We are constantly sending out signals to the universe of what we want, and what we’ll attract.
The thing about the fish though was, whether or not it wanted to have this effect was irrelevant. As a direct reaction to the action of movement, more movement (waves) were created. So a very simple reminder to self, every action I take creates ripples (responses), whether you see it or not. You can attract more of a good thing or more of a bad thing its my choice. I choose good!! What kind of ripples will you send out today??
