Local Farmers Market Opens for the Season

Despite the oil spill in the Gulf, how top-kill method by BP failed to stop the gushing, and how the recent article said that organic is no better than conventional food – I felt GREAT this weekend. Why? My local farmers market in Pleasantville, NY opened on Saturday with a ribbon cutting ceremony and entertainment throughout the morning. It was great to see those familiar smiling faces of vendors who [...]

No evidence organic foods benefit health

Yes, you read it correctly if you read the Yahoo News yesterday. It got my attention. But boy, was I fuming. This is another perfect way the media manipulates you. It worked on me! I clicked on the title! But reading the article further down, the information clearly says, the studies were too small and the length of the study was too short, that there is not enough evidence – [...]

Vegan Wonton Recipe

I had nothing – n.o.t.h.i.n.g. – to cook for dinner tonight. I’m sure you had one ‘those’ days. C’mon. Fess up. I know you did. Saturdays are usually, “cook-whatever-is-left-in-the-fridge” day and I literally had: a package of wonton skins, tofu, scallions, cheese, eggs, soy milk, and some wilting greens. So, what did I do? I gathered up the ingredients and thought, “Hmmmm……I can stuff them all up into the wonton [...]

Miessence Review on Eco Diva

I am a woman of ‘certain age’ (as one of my dear friends would put it) who woke up one day, and decided to fight the wrinkle war with vengeance. I mean, I don’t smoke, I drink water, I cleanse my face every night (with olive oil), moisturize, and exfoliate regularly – all the good things to prevent wrinkles, right? But I swear, there was one new tiny ‘laugh’ line [...]

Coming up for air

Since my last two ranting posts, I’ve received many comforting e-mails, messages, and comments about my green fatigue. I am so humbled by your caring words of encouragement. It’s friends and crusaders like you that will keep me going and continue to live the best way I can, to be proactive…even with these little hiccups along the way. I was also pleasantly surprised, although sad too, that I wasn’t alone; [...]

When dealing with the environment, I feel like I am going through Kublor Ross’s five stages of grief. 1. Denial – done that all my life about the environment 2. Anger – explained in yesterday’s post 3. Bargaining – I think I go through this every day, which is the reason why I’ve reached … 4. Depression – explained below 5. Acceptance – will it ever get to this? I [...]

Green Fatigue Part 1 – Anger

Anger I’ve been kinda down lately. There’s nothing optimistic about what’s been buzzing in my ears recently and humming incessantly inside my head, like an ongoing droning sounds of a dryer. I want this humming to stop so I thought I’d try the ranting therapy. I normally don’t rant – especially on weekends.  Mind you, I’m a hopeless, eternal optimist. Ask my hubby. But I feel like I have to [...]
