Greenwala recently shared 10 Ways to Go Green in 30 Seconds or Less that included…

About a decade ago, I remember being at a formal event in NYC and walking into the powder room where a woman took me by the arm and whispered, “Your dress is the talk of the evening.” I hoped, of course, that she meant it as a compliment, but considering I was wearing an outrageously colorful peacock print maxi I wasn’t so sure.

Yesterday my neighbor on the right headed off to the Grand Canyon, and today, my neighbor on the left headed off to Yosemite. These national parks may be owned by the government but they belong to the American people and each year I am thankful that early presidents like Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln had the forethought to set aside these lands and restrict them…

Do you keep a Bucket List? I do! And one item on my list of 100 Things to Do Before I Die is take an African Safari. But at the rate that species are becoming extinct, I’m hopeful that there will still be leopards, rhinos, and elephants to be seen by the time I get there.
If you dream of going to Africa too, you can…

As a little girl I might have been known to hum “Someday My Prince Will Come” but now as a big girl, I am much more eager for prints to come. Pucci, Leonard, Bessi. Bring’em on!
But just like a girl has her own unique taste when it comes to princes, we also have our own unique taste when it comes to prints. Some of us don’t…

True barkcloth is made from the inner bark of trees and was first processed by the indigenous people of the forested regions of Africa. Without any spinning or weaving, these people were able to create fabric by stripping and soaking bark, beating it with a wooden mallet until paper thin, and then bleaching, dying, painting or printing it.

Old MacDonald Had a Farm but it was nothing like the factory farms that produce most of the beef, chicken, pork and lamb that are served in America today. Just this week, for instance, the Humane Society of America released video showing workers abusing chickens at two of the nation’s largest egg farms.
I myself have been a vegetarian for well over a decade but I’m…
