Well, let me tell you about a recent experience I had that was like no other I’ve ever seen…</div><br /><div>Compliments of my PR friends at Tractenberg & Co., I had an exclusive backstage pass to the GreenShows at the Metropolitan Pavilion last week. My objective: to get the inside scoop on what really goes on behind the scenes during “hair & makeup.” I wanted to get up close and personal with the hair team responsible for turning the long straight locks of the <a href="http://www.samanthapleet.com/">Samantha Pleet </a>models into SEXY, SILKY CURLS. </div><br /><div>Curls?! For any girl with stick straight hair, I’m sure you can imagine this is a hairdresser’s worst nightmare… That is until they were told <a href="http://shop.loveamika.com/default.asp">Amika</a> would be sponsoring the Styling Tools & products that would help create the fabulously curly looks! </div><br /><div><br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519454099517825826" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikrb5KFFwRUUymsGYrLGW_A4itBKENaptxBZItl4CFsOD4kStf4OSlejqVfitg6HgaT5GIIQt_ZYR2PPbuny61gW0tg-o_81b0aMfke4zpbZcYVtYSGuC7JdJ2L-UHD4hSInHeZDMHF8tC/s320/Amika+curler.JPG" /><br /><div>By the time I arrived on the scene…I swear there was no hair struggle in sight. Stylists were crowded around each of the models – sometimes 3-4 per girl! but they were working in a rhythm rather than a teased frizzy… </div><br /><div>I watched as they wrapped sections of straight hair around the <a href="http://shop.loveamika.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=30">Amika tourmaline curling barrels</a>; waited a few seconds before releasing the strands so the smooth waves could cascade down the models’ necks. I was awed at how easy it was to curl hair as straight as a toothpick and for the hair to remain curly for hours on end without spraying it with concrete! </div><br /><div>What makes Amika’s curlers one of the best?! They feature a tourmaline barrel fused with ceramic. Tourmaline is a natural source of negative ions and far infrared heat, which provides faster styling with less damage. The negative ions eliminate frizz and close the hair cuticle to create smooth, shiny hair. The clip free curler doesn’t tug or break the hair either. </div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIXDBj-hz5KgWrVRHunUquQ4Mhjuj6TZBX4t7fvDnYAFrqJ4050nXY5ghD2arBuLOOBkPhfESSv7fs12b8cnwmy9c9yGatvS3K7OGZPWc3S3_6Nmoyc1NZ-fPSIZj6Hyzyzwtt4em-UhTD/s1600/styling+tools.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 125px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 166px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519454937250385090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIXDBj-hz5KgWrVRHunUquQ4Mhjuj6TZBX4t7fvDnYAFrqJ4050nXY5ghD2arBuLOOBkPhfESSv7fs12b8cnwmy9c9yGatvS3K7OGZPWc3S3_6Nmoyc1NZ-fPSIZj6Hyzyzwtt4em-UhTD/s320/styling+tools.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Say bye-bye to the hair crimp your old school curler used to make and say hello to one of these stylish <a href="http://shop.loveamika.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=30">Amika curlers</a>!

Heck, you should see the hurricane that hit my place…I think Igor already touched down! </div><br /><div>Anyway…my girl and I joined thousands of others last Friday for Fashion’s Night Out (aka FNO) and we hit the town starting in SOHO. Among our numerous stops were <strong>John Varvatos</strong> - they served sweet killer vodka & lemonade drinks; <strong>Chanel</strong> - they were offering FREE manicures which showcased 3 of their new nail colors and last but certainly not least, <a href="http://www.iloristyle.com/ilori/home/homepage"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>ILORI</strong></span></a> (pronounced ĭ-lôr-ē) – this high-fashion eyewear boutique was offering up cute EcoBag totes with any purchase of their fabulous shades. </div><br /><div><br />ILORI’s a leader in distinctive eyewear so it didn’t surprise me that they’d come with a new idea for FNO. The flagship store on Spring Street was crowded with beautiful people and not only did we enjoy trying on all the trendy shades, but we also got to see our Eco tote bags personalized on the spot with a hip ink print.

I haven’t had my first cup of H2O yet (I don’t drink coffee), but I’ll try my best to stay awake and give you a quick recap of what went down over the weekend. </div><div><br />Unlike the average Joe, I kicked off my weekend on Thursday and attended the Women’s Mafia fashion show at Tela Design Studio in the Meat Packing district. This sold out event featured the top 3 winners of the “Are You Runway Ready” competition. People lined up shoulder to shoulder to catch a glimpse of the SS2011 designs of <a href="http://phuong-my.com/">Phuong My</a>, <a href="http://www.dauxilly.com/">Dominique Auxilly </a>and <a href="http://www.priestessnyc.net/">PRIESTESS NYC by Cody Ross</a>.<br /></div><div>Hands down I thought Dominique’s designs stole the show. Her fitted bodices, with flowing fabrics made every girl in the room swoon. I heard an outpour of women saying they wanted this dress or that…I even heard one fashion stylist say she’d love to get married in one of the dresses! </div><div><br />Here’s a look at one of my favorite Dominuque designs of the night:</div><div><br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 216px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516401296281122226" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVQyDNb_ly-uSVPiVjVHneAoR0wAOhnDZtWdybhfWfN0_5G_asTdozVI6s-mxF5D-rr1piVWHimzgs4q0MwWZev8dTl8AVVrXezToOAeG3_I1LKN7KG-T-PQj5FF7MkAD5dzO_Mm252yWq/s320/Dominiquefive1.jpg" /><br />Photos by Arthur Eisenberg</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>I hope you enjoy the looks as much as I did. </div><div> </div><div>xoxo,</div><div>Mia<br /></div><div></div><div><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div>Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14199320220207822626noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032313991505354021.post-69794762485491139542010-09-10T07:06:00.000-07:002010-09-10T07:43:09.009-07:00<div>FASHION ALERT EMAIL!! </div><div></div><br /><div>MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!!

I know it's been ages since I last posted, but to be honest, I felt so ashamed of neglecting my site after I had started working full time again that I needed to go to blogger rehab. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>But here I am 1 year later...My life is certainly different now - I'm working a 9-6pm job 5 days a week & still trying to maintain friendships and a social life after work. I didn't realize how zapped I'd feel after working 9-10 hr days (just because my hours are 9-6 doesn't mean I don't work free overtime). I often long for the old days of my fashionista ways i.e. running around the city day & night visiting showrooms, meeting designers, and eco-fashionistas like yourselves! It'd be nice to have my cake & eat it too, but let's be realistic, life doesn't really work like that...a girl's gotta pay her bills. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Don't be fooled however to think that I've been completely M.I.A. I'll definitely be out this week and next for the Spring/Summer 2011 Fashion Week here in NYC.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>There are plenty of shows to attend, and even a few back stage appearances at the Metropolitan Pavilion next week for the <a href="http://www.samanthapleet.com/">Samantha Pleet</a> show.

Let's face it, organic foods are not always affordable; some cost an estimated 10% - 40% more. So how can you determine which foods are the most important to buy "green"?<br /><br />Eating these 5 organic things will go a long way toward protecting your body & our air and water from toxic chemicals:<br /><br />1)Dairy<br /><br />2)Lettuce (Fact - conventional lettuce has some of the highest levels of pesticides)<br /><br />3)Apples (Fact - apples are the 2nd most commonly eaten fruit (after bananas), and rank high on the toxic pesticide list)<br /><br />4)Marinara Sauce<br /><br />5)Meat (ex. choose free-range beef)<br /><br />Have a great weekend.<br /><br />xoxo,<br />MiaMiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14199320220207822626noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032313991505354021.post-58761922032316760702009-07-21T07:47:00.000-07:002009-07-21T07:49:45.766-07:00The Hip Side of Vegan – Affordable Sneakers with a Stylish Edge<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnNPp-tjJlA4cPYI9bWEaCj6hlt3kTW9WQ4Cs6HWZkX8BqgUAg_CmBtc8_b4_XtwFk8YEDQv3lBqOJl7krBwSc-goqbIu8AveYeUeQpKh3_lpKXH5eT1i7zFQt5NFofnhru6Fz1Dqva_m5/s1600-h/autonomie+low-tops.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 187px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnNPp-tjJlA4cPYI9bWEaCj6hlt3kTW9WQ4Cs6HWZkX8BqgUAg_CmBtc8_b4_XtwFk8YEDQv3lBqOJl7krBwSc-goqbIu8AveYeUeQpKh3_lpKXH5eT1i7zFQt5NFofnhru6Fz1Dqva_m5/s320/autonomie+low-tops.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360925611351832226" border="0" /></a>

Doie’s designs won’t disappoint. There’s something for every fashion conscious chick. Sara’s styles capture the essence of both coasts – East & West. Sara & her collection, <a href="http://www.doiedesigns.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Doie</span></a>, were based in NYC for quite some time, but now they have found a new home in Los Angeles.<br /><br />Aside from earning style points in my book, Doie’s collection made from bamboo jersey and organic cotton will keep you looking and feeling cooler. Bamboo’s breathable fabric can keep you 2 degrees cooler. Organic cotton is another great fabric to wear during the summer because it’s a natural lightweight fiber.<br /><br />I don’t play around when it’s hot outside… If I have a choice to keep my core temperature 2 degrees cooler just by wearing bamboo, I’m all for it!<br /><br />Check out <a href="http://www.doiedesigns.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Doie’s latest designs and read more about the designer</span></a> and her inspiration behind her eco-fashion line.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Use the code </span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">spring30</span>, for <span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">30% off </span>of the Los Angeles Collection.</span></span><br /><br />xoxo,<br />MiaMiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14199320220207822626noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032313991505354021.post-37152163019204875192009-07-16T06:14:00.000-07:002009-07-16T06:16:25.913-07:00Lotion Police – Here to “Repair & Protect” You<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5GRIkxWmciBUcNn2Vxt-qtdOeqnJZvXraf7BQsrHy3KD6RxmZRYT40qPONhfe9Ib-4CgLexTOsHSTz_YtyVxc0PrN9PYWrFTstwko4XJ5TVC8cNcp1tSlhiDrPTO9pUpGN95oEf5IUQ_K/s1600-h/Sibu+lotion.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 167px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5GRIkxWmciBUcNn2Vxt-qtdOeqnJZvXraf7BQsrHy3KD6RxmZRYT40qPONhfe9Ib-4CgLexTOsHSTz_YtyVxc0PrN9PYWrFTstwko4XJ5TVC8cNcp1tSlhiDrPTO9pUpGN95oEf5IUQ_K/s320/Sibu+lotion.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359046117197961634" border="0" /></a>

In just a matter of moments, I’ve got my face covered and protected. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Being the beauty junkie that I am, I have plenty of other face lotions lying around that I can use, but none really seem to compare to Sibu Beauty’s special <b style="">paraben-free</b> lotion. <span style=""> </span>What makes Sibu Beauty’s facial cream unique is that it’s made from the “holy” sea buckthorn berry found high up in the Himalayas.

I apply it each morning and night after washing my face (typically with Sibu Beauty’s Cleanse & Detox Facial Bar). This facial cream has the strength of a SWAT team… “It creates the perfect barrier to moisturize, rejuvenate, repair and protect.” Plus, aside from being paraben-free, Sibu’s lotion is cruelty-free and contains NO dairy, yeast, wheat, gluten, sodium or preservatives. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Note - A little goes a long way...

I’ve scratched them so many times now that they’ve now turned into giant red welts. I don’t own bug spray because I’ve heard nightmarish things about the chemicals they often contain, but I refuse to can’t confine myself to my apartment just because I’m afraid to be bitten again. Luckily for me I came across a few easy home remedies that will help me battle those blood thirsty suckers the next time I’m outside.<br /><br />Here are a few toxic-free green suggestions to repel insects:<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">#1 Pepper Spray</span></span><br />This works great for ants and other small pests.<br /><br />• Boil 2 or 3 cups of water.<br />• Add about ½ to 2/3 cup of chopped hot pepper. Let marinate for a few minutes.<br />• Run the mixture thru a sieve to remove the peppers.<br />• Put the liquid in a squirt bottle and use when necessary.<br />• Be careful not to spray directly on foliage.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">#2 Pure Vanilla Extract</span></span><br /><br />Dab a little on your wrists, neck and behind the ears. Many insects don’t like the smell.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">#3 Chem-Free Bug Off Mist</span></span><br /><br />• Mix witch hazel with a few drops of tea tree oil, lavender oil, or peppermint oil in a squirt bottle.<br />• Lightly mist your body.<br /><br />You can also add one of these essential oils to an unscented organic lotion for a bug repelling moisturizer.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">#4 Lavender Works Mosquito Miracles</span></span><br /><br />Stop the bites!<br /><br />• Rub a lavender flower behind your ears, wrists and neck.<br />• Not only will you smell great but mosquitoes will leave you alone.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">If you’ve already been bitten & you’re dying to stop the itch, I suggest coating your bite marks with:</span><br /><br />• A baking soda/water paste<br />• A paste of plain oatmeal (cooked)<br />• Rubbing alcohol<br />• Scotch tape - some people say to put pieces of tape over the bite marks & it stops the itch!<br /><br />Enjoy the weekend and watch out for those pesky biters!<br /><br />xoxo,<br />Mia<br /><br />P.S. - Don't wear perfume! Bugs are attracted to the scent.Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14199320220207822626noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032313991505354021.post-59598149703546241962009-07-08T06:49:00.000-07:002009-07-08T06:55:17.013-07:00Don't Fry like an Egg - Try an Eco-friendly Sunscreen<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjCRhyphenhyphenPcQN_g7W3mZYY4zq3qJ_RQ1NP7AGhr_G4b9sWWBTf-NjEBeh0d5gZmaLjQlJeYegYmPNWBX4JcfMEI_qLCdXwvrUuljcFhyphenhyphenE3OmpFhUpMggmsLzeKOvf7EU3v_5RxtRDGk4xTzO_/s1600-h/tanning+-+sunscreen.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 269px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjCRhyphenhyphenPcQN_g7W3mZYY4zq3qJ_RQ1NP7AGhr_G4b9sWWBTf-NjEBeh0d5gZmaLjQlJeYegYmPNWBX4JcfMEI_qLCdXwvrUuljcFhyphenhyphenE3OmpFhUpMggmsLzeKOvf7EU3v_5RxtRDGk4xTzO_/s320/tanning+-+sunscreen.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356087298067873266" border="0" /></a>

Almost <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.skincancer.org/?task=view">50% of Americans who live to the age of 65 will have skin cancer at least once</a>. We rely on sunscreen to help protect our skin. But chemicals in conventional sunscreens have been linked to a host of health problems. For example, common ingredients in chemical based sunscreen (as opposed to mineral blockers) such as benzophenone, oxybenzone, octinoxate, and homosalate may mimic the hormone estrogen. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: normal;font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:12;">Luckily an eco-friendly solution exists. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mineral based sunscreens containing titanium or zinc seem to be a healthier option</span>, and do not appear to contribute to coral bleaching (a significant problem occurring because of the sunscreen’s chemicals washing off in the water). </span></p> <p face="georgia">There really is no such thing as a “healthy glow,” but if you’re determined to scorch your skin in order to get some color, you should at least prepare for it. It’s important to pick a sunscreen equipped to protect us from harmful UV rays. It’s equally important to ensure that our sunscreen doesn’t contain any toxic ingredients, such as petrochemical additives (derived from petroleum) Petrochemicals are often found in moisturizers and can cause severe allergic reactions.</p> <p face="georgia">Here are some sunscreen choices that aren’t laden with suspicious-sounding chemicals:</p> <p style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Aubrey Organics Green Tea Protective Sunscreen</span> – this sunscreen doesn’t contain any petrochemicals and protects the skin with titanium dioxide, a mineral that deflects burning UVB & UVA rays off the skin. Also, the organic green tea ingredient shields the skin from cancer-causing free radicals, and the organic shea butter ingredient keeps the skin well-hydrated. Available for $8.50 at <a href="http://www.aubrey-organics.com/">www.aubrey-organics.com</a>.

Apply sunscreen before heading to the beach or park this summer & be safe.

See my big box of recycling in the background too?!)<br /><br />Linen is another great green fiber that we've forgotten. Some of my favorite summer gear includes fabulous linen tie pants. And who among us has not coveted the perfect tailored linen jacket. If you are among the non-linen-wearing, I will now convert you and answer some of your burning questions about linen and EcoDiva fabulous clothing:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What is linen?</span> Linen is the fabric obtained by using parts of the stem of the Flax plant.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What is the difference between flax and linen?</span> “Flax” refers to the plant and the fibers (flax plant, flax seeds, flax yarn), whereas “Linen” applies to products made from flax (linen fabrics, linen clothing, linen tablecloths etc.)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Which part of the flax plant contains the fibers used to make linen?</span> The flax fibers used to produce linen are contained in the central part of the stem of the plant.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Why is linen so highly regarded as a textile fiber? </span>Linen is luminous, clean, soft and strong. The brightness of linen comes from the nodes in the fibers that reflect light and the fresh feel and scent of washed linen is a luxury for your body. Linen has traditionally played a leading role in fashion; nearly every designer has experimented with this fiber.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How is linen created? </span>First the pulled flax plants are left in the field (“retting”) for a certain period of time, allowing the fibers to separate naturally. Then the process begins by “scotching”—a process that extracts textile fibers from the bark and separates them from the wood particles with crushing and breaking motions. Finally, the flax fibers are combed into smooth, even slivers that will be spun into yarn.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">When did linen originate?</span> Linen is one of the oldest textiles around. It dates back to ancient times, making it difficult to say exactly where and when it originated. Known since antiquity, flax<br />is the oldest textile fiber in the world. The earliest traces of its use date to 8000 B.C. when the Egyptians Pharaohs were wrapped in linen fabrics at burial because of the quality, natural nobility, and strength of the material. Linen reached Europe when the Phoenicians bought flax in Egypt and later exported it to Ireland, England and Brittany. Today European linen is the most treasured luxury fabric in the world.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Is linen eco-friendly? </span>Yes! Flax needs very little chemical fertilizer to grow and once the fiber has been extracted from the plant, it supplies a number of useful by-products, including flax oil (used to produce soap, cosmetics, paints, printing inks etc.) and fibers (paper and even the American dollar contain flax fibers). Nothing is wasted. Now that’s got the EcoDiva stamp of approval.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><a href="http://johnpatrickorganic.com/">JohnPatrickOrganic.com<br /></a><br /><a href="http://underthecanopy.com/">UndertheCanopy.com</a><br /><br /><a href="http://thegreenloop.com/">TheGreenLoop.com</a><br /><br /><a href="http://organicselections.com/">OrganicSelections.com</a><br /><br /><br />Signing Off...EcoDiva<br />Learn more about Ethical Luxury and theEcoDiva at <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://theecodiva.blogspot.com/">theEcoDiva.blogspot.com</a>Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14199320220207822626noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032313991505354021.post-89713800307550075622009-07-04T14:04:00.001-07:002009-07-04T14:04:50.306-07:00<span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Happy 4th of July!!<br /></span></span>Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14199320220207822626noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032313991505354021.post-46384220748496414882009-07-04T09:18:00.000-07:002009-07-05T05:36:30.137-07:00Trader Joe's - Not so Friendly to our Friends of the Sea<span style="font-style: italic;">As a member of Greenpeace, I periodically get email updates from them informing me of what's going on with on in the environment & our waterways... Here's some surprising info that I read about Trader Joe's market. A little food for thought.<br /><br />xoxo,<br />Mia<br /><br />The email:<br /></span><br />Traitor Joe here. I'm up to my eyeballs in red list seafood. My stores have so many red list fish on ice, that I’d bet there aren’t any left in the oceans. Seafood gets red listed if it’s fished using methods that harm ocean habitats or other critters, or because there just aren’t that many of the fish around anymore. But have I helped save them? Heck no!<br /><br />Greenpeace released the third edition of their supermarket scorecard and Trader Joe's came in at the bottom of the list again (17 out of 20). Ouch! In fact, this is the third time Trader Joe’s scored as the worst of the national supermarket chains surveyed about sustainable seafood. Just call me your one-stop-shop for ocean destruction.<br /><br />If ocean destruction bothers you, and you want Trader Joe’s to get out of the business of trading red list seafood, then visit my website <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://traitorjoe.com/">traitorjoe.com</a>, and do something about it. Send a singing fish telegram to Trader Joe's and tell them to stop destroying the oceans and passing the guilt onto their customers.<br /><br />But, I hope you won't, though, because that way I can keep confusing my customers, all while turning a profit.<br /><br />From the bottom of the barrel,<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKPYdd-IdlUuCvS8gl5RZt7bBFkh4emujcGuPcV-ildKxX1-dybEGzHdY2pcl9wWNQY8vafWZrR11tWh0VG_a895XTFGNPOAyTCH7kKJAfYactRMUFEY2s1_pNtX31jXsh7r7Zo2ueLKFT/s1600-h/traitor+joe.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 110px; height: 96px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKPYdd-IdlUuCvS8gl5RZt7bBFkh4emujcGuPcV-ildKxX1-dybEGzHdY2pcl9wWNQY8vafWZrR11tWh0VG_a895XTFGNPOAyTCH7kKJAfYactRMUFEY2s1_pNtX31jXsh7r7Zo2ueLKFT/s320/traitor+joe.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354260672643200690" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Traitor JoeMiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14199320220207822626noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032313991505354021.post-24439020204023377772009-06-30T13:15:00.000-07:002009-07-01T06:06:20.112-07:00Manly Men & the Natural Products that make them look Hot!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqLusb_KaZdU9wJp0hbzjBUoYX-tcjGd5KGwqbWw63NdYLZ68al5qU2QVeL97eTWGJfaVgiq9AmxMN2MwbD-NdPvs-lLTxbonChdCludVQ-_DS5kL0CrD8kCGkBCTz8boVNmlF2ZNFrQ30/s1600-h/male+model.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqLusb_KaZdU9wJp0hbzjBUoYX-tcjGd5KGwqbWw63NdYLZ68al5qU2QVeL97eTWGJfaVgiq9AmxMN2MwbD-NdPvs-lLTxbonChdCludVQ-_DS5kL0CrD8kCGkBCTz8boVNmlF2ZNFrQ30/s320/male+model.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353477246046886946" border="0" /></a>

Even scruffy Joe Schmoe can be transformed into a handsome gentleman… <span style=""> </span>How you ask? It starts from the neck up. Indulge your hair and skin with Kaia House’s nourishing natural products that are both <b style="">Safe and Effective</b>, as well as <b style="">Animal and Environmentally friendly</b>. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">If you haven’t been hiding under a rock these past few years, you’ve probably noticed that men are picking up on a lot of the beauty tips and regimens that women have been following for decades. Maybe you’ve even caught your man red handed dipping his fingers in your anti-aging night cream before! The truth’s out…men want in on the same great natural beauty/health care products that women have, but they want their own versions - MANLY versions.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I’ve found these “manly” products for men! And just to prove that I know they’re great, I had my friend Nick test them out before giving my seal of approval.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style="">For the scalp:</b> <a href="http://www.kaiahouse.com/kahomieush.html"><b>Kaia House Organics Peppermint & Tea Tree Shampoo</b></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Nick said,</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;">“The shampoo smells great and feels really nice. It lathers up very well and I don't need much to get a lot of lather. It's also totally clear and that makes me feel like it's more natural and not full of chemicals.”</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Kaia House knows how important it is to care about what we put on our bodies. That’s why this minty fragranced shampoo is sulfate-free and enhanced with Pro-Vitamin B5 that helps to strengthen brittle hair. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style="">For the scalp<sup> </sup>:</b> <a href="http://www.kaiahouse.com/kahoorgrtear.html"><b>Kaia House Organics Green Tea & Rosehip Conditioner</b></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Nick said,</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;"> “I've never thought my hair really needed conditioner. It went in easily and rinsed out easily and left my hair feeling soft and smooth.” </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Kaia House’s extra moisturizing conditioner leaves hair feeling silky and helps improve shine without weighing hair down.

Ask anyone who calls or messages me, and they’ll tell you that I’m always making a mad dash from one place to another. My days start early and usually end late (sometimes even into the wee hours of the next morning). Life in the city can be unpredictable too. You never know where you might go or who you might bump into – After I left the <span style="font-weight: bold;">cmarchuska</span> trunk show @ The Green Room NYC last Wednesday, I ran into Fat Joe @ Milk Gallery and Steve Nash @ his party being held at Hudson Terrace.

Or at least not until I find a good man & get married (something that might take me a lifetime to do. LOL) :-) Anyway, organic baby food may be an odd topic for me to write about since I don’t have children, but it’s still makes sense to me considering my best friend just had her 2nd child. It’s important that “Auntie Mia” knows what to feed the little bambinos when I go and babysit.<br /><br />Here are some facts that Ideal Bite taught me about why it’s better to switch to ORGANIC – Trust me…Mother Nature & your baby will reap the benefits.<br /><br />• A Tasty way to Health - Organic versions don't contain the fat, fillers, salt, and sugar you normally find in “regular” baby foods. And since those little munchkins like to eat non-stop (so they can grown strong & healthy), the toxins in conventionally grown foods (sprayed with nasty pesticides) will potentially cause them harm.<br /><br />• Mounds of topsoil - Organic farming can produce 6 inches of healthy topsoil in as little as 50 years (it takes nature about 3,000 years to produce the same amount of topsoil).<br /><br />• Do it Yourself & Save - Preparing your own baby food can save you major bucks. Something we all want to do during economic times like these.<br /><br />Some Premade Options<br /><br />• <a href="http://www.jacksharvest.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Jack's Harvest</span></a> - organic purees in heart-shaped "cubes"; first stage includes yummy Papplesauce (peach, apple, and cinnamon).

</style> <![endif]--> <p class="MsoNormal">You may have heard through the grapevine (via Facebook or Twitter) about the delicious dinner I cooked recently for some friends in Brooklyn… The cruddy weather had finally cleared up enough to be able to celebrate the onset of summer with some good eats & company. Friday night was my night to shine. I became Susie Homemaker/Chef “Boyar-Mia” and displayed my culinary skills to all. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">The goal that night: show my friends how easy it is to cook a healthy meal & as JT would say, “bring sexy back” into the kitchen. <span style=""> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">I whipped up a Mexican themed feast for about a dozen people. The menu included fresh ingredients from <span style="font-weight: bold;">Whole Foods</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">locally grown fruits and vegetables</span> from my neighborhood street vendor. I lugged about 20 lbs of groceries and a few kitchen accessories in 2 <span style="font-weight: bold;">reusable bags</span>. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">For the appetizers, I served up organic baby carrots, humus dip, and cheese & crackers for everyone to nosh on while I slaved over the hot stove. For our entrée, I made organic chicken & beef tacos, homemade “dirty” rice with fresh vegetables, and sweet potato fries…Then came my killer dessert! I baked gooey brownies served with vanilla bean frozen yogurt topped with fresh blueberries & strawberries. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">At times the counter got messy from all the chopping & dicing…but thankfully in my bag of supplies I had my new set of <a href="http://organicpurelife.com/store/pid-308-info.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">OK Kitchen accessories</span></a> from <a href="http://organicpurelife.com/store/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Organic Pure Life</span></a>. My OK Kitchen set included 2 kitchen towels, a dish cloth, and a pot mitt all made from 100% organic cotton ($26). What’s good about <span style="font-weight: bold;">organic cotton</span> is that it’s grown <span style="font-weight: bold;">WITHOUT</span> the use of <span style="font-weight: bold;">harmful chemicals, pesticides and fertilizers</span>. And the threads are colored with low impact dyes. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI4OqB70mx2EfCYejtQnsmbMPqpIkoCVvmnM0OD_mjYV4hFe_X34PugBuowfH5BP97p0_HgF1pfq58uK9-XDohR82prbXgeF5A4cMfZklljU0P3ursRxYsbE8lAahpmYO9JE4gD3DDkV19/s1600-h/OK+Organic+Kitchen.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 220px; height: 220px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI4OqB70mx2EfCYejtQnsmbMPqpIkoCVvmnM0OD_mjYV4hFe_X34PugBuowfH5BP97p0_HgF1pfq58uK9-XDohR82prbXgeF5A4cMfZklljU0P3ursRxYsbE8lAahpmYO9JE4gD3DDkV19/s320/OK+Organic+Kitchen.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351298453866500178" border="0" /></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal">The towels were very absorbent for wiping up spills and drying dishes. My favorite accessory from the set though is the pot mitt! It’s very plush and created a protective shield so I wouldn’t burn my hand when I moved scalding hot pans in and out of the oven.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Check out the wide variety of personal & home products <a href="http://organicpurelife.com/store/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Organic Pure Life</span></a> has to offer. And remember, you’re helping replenish and maintain soil fertility by going organic & sustainable in the kitchen. A healthy home = a happy planet!<span style=""> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">xoxo,</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Chef Mia</p> <p class="MsoNormal">P.S. – I’m up for cooking again if someone supplies me with the space! </p> Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14199320220207822626noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032313991505354021.post-41394226916076955632009-06-24T09:47:00.000-07:002009-06-24T10:52:31.860-07:00RYANN CLOTHING TRUNK SHOW AT GOMI NYC - Thurs 6/25<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirUNAaB97A2rZobihwuKkhaG54LbWaZdC81QVIy068A-jkzjl8AvoyFqKXuSchxD5kFmAK8FYq1_mQxAIAeZJ0XbJ6CAQr7UmbEETy0egiivYA9rZ4_j_RFHv6oHzuxVXiOVBKaCB4lZNR/s1600-h/ryann+1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 209px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirUNAaB97A2rZobihwuKkhaG54LbWaZdC81QVIy068A-jkzjl8AvoyFqKXuSchxD5kFmAK8FYq1_mQxAIAeZJ0XbJ6CAQr7UmbEETy0egiivYA9rZ4_j_RFHv6oHzuxVXiOVBKaCB4lZNR/s320/ryann+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350941888315043042" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Gomi NYC, the sustainable clothing and lifestyle store, is hosting a trunk show for the fashion forward women’s line, Ryann.<br /><br />Come join me and a bunch of other fashionista's during this great shopping event!

In reality, I pride myself on being a fashion chameleon and having the ability to adapt and blend my style to fit my surroundings. With that being said, don’t expect to see me all dolled up in a fancy dress when I’m hangin’ in SoHo or the Lower East Side… Instead, you’re likely to see me in an outfit that’s got some modern edge. Cue <a href="http://iloveryann.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ryann (designed by Raina Blyer)</span></a> into the picture - one of my favorite NYC based eco-brands known for its precise detailing and timeless looks that capture a “punch of downtown.”<br /><br />Last night I was tasked with getting ready to meet a friend for dinner & a movie downtown, but the only problem was I didn’t know where we were actually going! Was I venturing to eat at a hole in the wall or one of the city’s most posh restaurants? I had to solve a fashion equation but I was missing some key factors. All I knew was:<br /><br />I was headed to “downtown destination unknown” and needed a light jacket to battle the chilly air & rain, plus a look that would make me feel over or under dressed at the restaurant.<br /><br />My wardrobe solution? I paired a hip colorful top with black skinny jeans, slipped my feet into some heels, and reached for <span style="font-weight: bold;">"Mick"</span> - my razor sharp, fitted black <a href="http://iloveryann.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">organic cotton motorcycle style jacket by Ryann</span></a>. I love the sheen of the "Mick" jacket because it gives the appearance that it’s made from leather (without actually using leather or pleather). Plus, the seams are sewn in a way that cuts the body in all the right places, and the off-centered zipper and wide collar & lapels add extra style to this fashion forward must.<br /><br />The question now is, did I solve the equation properly?! I think so… we ended up at <a href="http://www.cafetasia.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cafetasia</span></a> for a tasty Thai fusion dinner & went to see a foreign flick @ <a href="http://www.landmarktheatres.com/market/NewYork/SunshineCinema.htm"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sunshine Cinema</span></a> on Houston before heading over to Alphabet city for a nightcap at one of the local bars. My sexy biker eco-chic style fit the neighborhood perfectly.<br /><br />xoxo,<br />MiaMiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14199320220207822626noreply@blogger.com0
