It may seem as though I have fallen off the face of the Earth – well, at least in cyberspace that is. The truth is, I’ve been busy having babies – yes – and not one but TWO babies! Which as some men and women know, takes a lot of a person’s ’spare’ time and energy. But, I’m back, and back with a vengeance.
My latest endeavor is this pregnancy blog I started. It’s all about modern “G” baby products as well as optimal nutrition for pregnant woman, new moms (and dads too), and babies alike! It’s full of raw vegan recipes, daily menu ideas, lunchbox ideas and pregnancy foods.
The blog will help you learn the importance of, as well as how, to feed your kids right and how starting now is the key to calm, loving, smart, and healthy children. Continue Reading / See Additional Photos
Marmol Radziner is one of my favorite designers when it comes to prefab. I love the modern style and use of natural materials. His architecture is very simple with lots of straight lines, glass and openness. The above photo is taken of his prefab in Palm Desert.
Better yet, these homes are GREEN–here’s why:
NATURAL COOLING
* Decks provide shade and reduce solar heat gain
* Wide doors for natural cross ventilation
* Architecture celebrates, rather than competes with, natural environment
* Indoor/outdoor enhancements, such as expansive deck spaces extend indoor living spaces to the outdoor Continue Reading / See Additional Photos
Sick and tired of the sight of your old jeans? Do the shirts in your closet no longer thrill you, but you don’t have the money to buy a new wardrobe? Don’t throw them away just yet. Try turning them into something new and exciting.
Does it ever feel like this organic obsession has gone overboard? It seems everything is going organic these days — even clothes and makeup. I certainly didn’t see that coming. I mean… MAKEUP? Come on. Cosmetics are only used on a portion of the skin, right? And how toxic could they be?
The answer is very. After doing some serious research, I came across a cosmetics safety database that allows you to search a company and find out its “toxicity” scoring. Not only was it fun to peruse, it also made me realize how misinformed I was…
Josie Maran definitely puts herself out there for the greater good. The model and actress, who essentially puts on makeup for a living, was so concerned about the toxicity of ordinary cosmetics that in October of last year she started her own organic toxin-free makeup line called Josie Maran Cosmetics. And she continues putting her efforts to good use, encouraging makeup artists and other models to toss out their M.A.C in favor of cleaner products Continue Reading / See Additional Photos
Architect Chris Sorensen, the mind and soul behind Sorensen Architects, is painting the town green with his efforts to literally shape Malibu into a more modern, progressive place.
When it comes to building or renovating homes, “most people don’t have a clue about the more sustainable, greener building material alternatives out there,” says Sorensen. “That’s why it’s our responsibility as the architects to inform our clients about their options.”
I’ve been taken on a journey. When it comes to great wine, I’d always considered myself an enthusiast. But when I came across Modern Cellar, I was inspired enough to become a true collector. I was so impressed, in fact, that I purchased the Sporadic Wall Panel in walnut both Continue Reading / See Additional Photos
LARABAR makes pretty darn good energy bars that are perfect to take along on any outdoor adventure. They are affordable, raw, vegan, gluten-free, nutritious and easy to pack. The only problem is they are not Organic. Sounds a little counterintuitive since they are raw and vegan, right?
Well, LARABAR must have realized the same thing because they just recently introduced a new line of ORGANIC chocolate bars called Jocalat (formerly known as Maya Bars). Flavors include traditional Chocolate, Chocolate Organic, Chocolate Mint, Chocolate Coffee. Continue Reading / See Additional Photos
I love the Staglin Family. Not just because they produce some of the best wine in the world, but they are honestly people to admire. The Staglins are a tight knit family of 4 who all share the same intense fascination for wine, amazing work ethic, and passion for travel and life. They do what they love and do it well!

I’m not happy with my kitchen. But why shouldn’t I be? After all, it looks just like my neighbor’s kitchen, and he doesn’t seem to mind his. In fact, most new homes in San Diego have similar kitchens these days — they look nice but are poorly made. Continue Reading / See Additional Photos
