Baddest Mom-Mobile On Two Wheels: Makes Me Want To Pop One Of Those Baby Things Out!

The Bridgestone Angelino Assista electric bike is a bicycle for parents: this one has no crossbar, a child seat (there’s also space for one on the back) and an electric motor to help with the pedaling. It’s range per charge is 37 miles. The handlebars are elongated so that the adult can see right over the top of the child.

There’s a long list of it’s features that can be found at the G Living link below. I’m too lazy to write them all out. The only one I care to mention is that the baby seat can be transformed into a basket! Guess I won’t have to join the Hollywood baby manufacturing alliance after all.

Asking price: $1312.00. Not bad IMO compared to the ones I saw at Best Buy recently.

Terracycle Wants Your Wrappers

Todays theme in my posts: junk food. Bad for us, but we still eat them.

I check in with Terracycle from time to time to see what new recycled wrapper products they’ve come up with.

I loved flying kites when I was a kid. And I also loved Oreo cookies dipped in milk. Now, not so much. But this kite made from recycled wrappers for the low price of $5.99 is pretty slick.

The holidays are less than 100 days away and although my Candy Spelling manic wrapping days are over, sometimes a bow on a plain box or bag adds just the right touch.

Go to Terracycle to find out which retail locations carry their products or join their online brigades to raise money from your wrappers to donate to a charity or your favorite school.

Hello Kitty Recycled

My Hello Kitty days ended a long time ago and I probably wouldn’t want to advertise my guilty pleasure of the occasional Diet Coke around my neck but I have to admit these necklaces upcycled from trashed sodie pop cans are cute.

All under $5 at the Funky Recycling Etsy shop.

Lunch Encounters Of The Third Kind

Lunch Encounters of the Third Kind from Parent Earth on Vimeo.

“Lunch Encounters” launched the One Tray campaign depicting the cafeteria tray as the conduit for a reformed school food system that supports healthy children, local farms, and smart schools. “Lunch Encounters,” a spoof of Close Encounters of the Third Kind was made to raise awareness for the upcoming reauthorization of the Child Nutrition Act.

The videos are clear: if you want a healthier America, take action at onetray.org. Every child deserves the opportunity to eat food in school that ensures their health and well-being and Farm to School programs are one solution to incorporating healthier foods into school meals.

Nixon Solar Powered ‘Volta’

There have been a few solar powered watches but Nixon recently launched its first. Nixon has released ‘Volta’ the first rechargeable solar powered watch.

This solar powered watch sports a semi-transparent dial that allows sunlight through to the solar panel below which charges the watch’s battery. If you are stuck in an office or if you stay indoors most of the time, the watch still works. In fact, any light source is enough to charge this watch, even the florescent lights in your office will suffice.

Join The Coastal Cleanup..Even Chris Brown Is Doin’ It

Ok, well he’s not doing it by choice, but I couldn’t resist.

I almost forgot about the big annual coastal cleanup happening this Saturday from 9a-12p. There are several locations at different beaches, lakes and parks in southern California. Go to the Heal the Bay site to find a location near you.

Don’t worry, you won’t have to don an orange vest.

Maria Menunous in Coco Eco Magazine #7

Here is the long awaited Maria Menounos story I styled for Coco Eco Magazine. There were so many good things about this shoot. Maria was an absolute sweetheart to work with and all of the amazing eco-lines we used fit her like a glove (a stylists dream). We shot in the beautiful, solar powered Marrakesh House and had an electric powered, bright orange Tesla delivered specifically for the shoot.

Happy 1st Anniversary Coco Eco mag!

Korean Bibimbop Is The Bomb!

Here’s Gwenny giving a 7 minute video on how to cook this deliciousness without having to venture out to K-town.

Bibimbop literally means “mixed rice” or “mixed meal” in Korean. It’s a popular meal consisting of a bowl of steamed white rice topped with vegetables, a whole egg, and kochujang (Korean chili pepper paste).

Seems simple enough. I think I’ll give it a try but if I don’t succeed, I’ll have a nice big bowl of rice with kimchee and practice my julienne skillz.
