I gave up drinking for Lent. (You know, for the little baby Jesus.) I am not very religious per say, but I think the exercises of restraint is a good for the mind and body. It's help me save money, lose weight, and have the ability to remember Saturday nights. But... how I miss you my dearest Alcohol! We will be reunited soon.
When I found this very well-made video about alcohol consumption, I had to post it.
GOOD is pretty much the wickedest magazine ever to come outta Cali, you should make a point of reading it at least on a semi-regular basis. They also make really rad videos as you can watch if you are too hungover to read. Their enforcement of awesome astounds me sometimes.
Just remember... 884 million people in this crazy world don't have access to clean drinking water, and here in Canada we PEE in it.

Earth Hour
Snow White and I went out biking last night, and biked to the Danger Palace to celebrate Earth Hour with Big Red and Fierce Bambi. We sat by candle light drinking orange juice chatting about life, love and taking over the world and such.
It was nice. No electronic stimulation of Laptops, we tried not to use our phones.... I've noticed recently how much media has infiltrated our lives. For instance, two years ago I would never have gone over to someone's house to watch Youtube videos, or spent an hour at the bar going over photos on an iPhone. If you were with people, you spent time talking with them and catching up, as you didn't have a facebook feed that updated you . I was talking about this with White, I don't think it's so much the media that has caused this, but we as a culture are maybe getting socially lazy, letting the videos do the conversating for us.
I digress. I love Earth Hour because it makes you realize how lucky you are to have such awesome friends. I hope everyone had a great Earth Hour like ours. I would like to put it out there that it should be celebrated year round.

Happiness, we're NOW's My Five this week!!! Rad. Sure, there's seven of us, plus Niamh on a stick, but there were only five stores so whatever. No one tells us what to do. The shoot for this was hilarious. I had been up the whole night sewing the hemp silk jacket, and was totally delirious while David was shooting us. I think he had to yell at me to stop making "Fierce Bambi" faces at one point cause I'm incapable of having my photo taken normally. He was really cool and even gave us some of his mothers old jewelery which Meg and I wear all the time now, and made everyone feel really comfortable even though we were all exhausted. ALSO - Can we just make a point of recognizing the fact that Andrew was the FIRST ONE to use the term "Eco-fabulous"??? Because it's gonna explode this year...
