I remember sitting in my “writing for public relations” class at Boston University and chatting with the girl next to me who mentioned her dad founded Earth Day. I had no idea what she was talking about but it sounded cool. This was a long time ago, mind you, and it seems for a bevy of reasons that Earth Day has snowballed in recognition. I wonder if it’s because she took over the PR for it? Anyhow, enough musing…
Now I know most of you have pretty “green” lives and have been living more green that the average greenie for some time now so on this day I think it is best to celebrate yourself and how great you are by prettying up - inside and out!
Inside: You are what you eat, and if you don’t have a copy of Veganomicon yet, you should. Not only are there some glorious recipes in this book, they are the kind that don’t use all that processed soy crap, so eating from Veganomicon will have your body thanking you for taking that bit of extra care.
Inside/Outside: I haven’t read it, but I hear that the new book Gorgeously Green has a great chapter on vegan and cruelty-free body products that also focuses on their safety ratings. It’s great someone finally put these two together so that those of us not killing bunnies, aren’t killing ourselves doing it!
Outside: Lastly, I think a way to make sure you’ve got your outside fully covered in all the pretty veggie things you can muster, as well as support our earth and all the cool peeps on it, is to spend some time on Etsy today. Sparkle yourself up from head to toe. Don’t forget the fingers and ears too.
Happy Earth Day to the prettiest, veggiest lady out there!!
