More Hip Than Hippie - Podcast #58 - In Bed with Debra Lynn DaddHave no fear, we're still rated PG
(well, ok, maybe PG13)! This week we consult with the Queen of Green herself, Ms. Debra Lynn Dadd. Author and fellow Green Diva, Debra crawls into bed with us to discuss creating a healthy, chemical free bedroom. You gotta listen to this one!
Dori's recovering from being ill on her vacation (can you say blah?) and we have lots of great listener email. Tune in!
Beer and Chocolate:
Beer: Drop Top Amber Ale by Widmer Brewing Company Portland, Oregon
Chocolate Our stellar listener Cindy brought us back some chocolate from her visit to her native Canada. She sent a few different varieties so we'll be spreading it out. This week its Botticelli's Double Dark from AlpineConfections, Inc in B.C. Canada. Yippee!
Finds & Hip News:
- We're a tad light this week as Dori was laid up in bed eating chocolate and watching her soaps. Not really, but Val thinks she was faking being ill. Note: Val will be discussing her black eye next week once Dori reads these notes.
- We found this great piece in EarthTalk â?? a newsletter from the folks at E Magazine. It's about the better environmental choice: cork wine stoppers, plastic stoppers or screw caps.
- Check out the August/September issue of Ready Made Magazine. It's chock full of cool ideas.
- Val also caught up on this months issue of Plenty Magazine and its got some great articles. If you haven't read it, give it a whirl.
