chocolate bunnies

if you are looking to get chocolate bunnies–of the vegan variety–for easter, you are gonna have a hard time of it.
most online shops sold-out weeks ago. while i’m sure big-box chains will have plenty cadbury bunnies & eggs for all, it’s also quite possible that they will be filled with GMO sugars. not the healthiest [...]

paper flowers: sunday paper
Leave a Comment
i am always looking for floral alternatives, and while this arrangement is not entirely flower-free, it gets the eco-idea across.

MOMA flip-top flower

i know, that probably means things “made in china”–which means–not green in the least. but the ingenuity behind some of these ideas carries over into green, eco-friendly variations.
like for instance….
this totally awesome candle craft using water balloons.
that [...]

this easy craft comes via damaris rodriguez franco in madrid who got it off purl bee.
i was smitten by the jolly colors & soft texture. these are actually pins for wearing your heart on your sleeve, but i think making magnets out of them are a great idea for gifts or invites. [...]

we all want healthcare reform, but when it comes right down to it, we do nothing about it. sure, we all like to complain about not having a health care system that works (over cheesecake & hot chocolate). but most of us don’t take steps to ensure healthy lives for ourselves & our [...]
