While I really enjoy shopping at the Santa Monica Co-op I was in Culver City at Akasha last night and hit good ole Trade Joe's post, which never does me wrong!!!
Case in point, you know how they say don't shop on an empty stomach well they should really say don't shop on an empty stomach full of wine!!! I proceeded to leave my wallet on the checkout stand and the lovely clerk chased me down or I should say up the parking lot stairs to return my wallet. AMAZING!!!!! And lucky me!

Couldn't stay away...
I attended LOHAS12 in Boulder a week or so ago, and I caught, as I liked to coin 'WholeFoods v Wal-mart on sustainability.' I was proud of WF for not taking the easy pop shots at Wal-mart. But I couldn't stop remarking on how there was so much similarity between the panelist representing Wal-mart (can't remember his name or title) and Aaron Eckhart's character Nick Naylor in Thank you for Smoking (good watch if you haven't seen it).
Today I read - Wal-Mart's Produce Depts. Going Local (click on title for entire article)- wonder if any of this came to be from the panel discussions...
Now I am off for the 4th! Ciao....
Love Heals
Yesterday I met Gunnar Lovelace at Urth Cafe. Gunnar has his paws in many projects but the one I want to mention today is Loveheals. To be fair, the company was started by Gunnar and his mother Adriana. Trees are planted with each purchase and all pieces are crafted by workers in Ojai. Most importantly the collection is stunning and I can't wait to get one, I mean some!
You can order on the website, but if you are like myself and need the instant gratification stop on by Firefly on Abbot Kinney. They have a bunch of gorg pieces in stock!
Happy 4th- let's recognize even though the country is not as its best we still have our everyday freedoms.
This will most likely be the last post until Monday.

Off Camera
Last night I had food and bevies with a couple of green TV personalities; Sara Snow, Jodi Murphy and Kenny Forrester. The evening was a blast and interesting to boost. What spoke most to me, was that all of these peeps have been walking the walk and talking the talk long before Planet Green ever came into the picture. Definitely check out all their shows!!!
As far as the night goes.....I have to give the spotlight and lampshade to Jodi!

AM Yoga with Rodney Yee
I was lucky enough to attend a yoga class taught by Rodney Yee early this morning. Not only was the class fabulous but he lead our practice outside with the Boulder flatirons in our view. It was definitely hard to motivate this am, but so glad I did!
