Tofurky And Gravy Drink By Jones Soda???

WTF? Grody to the max!! This is the description on the Jones website. Drink at your own risk.

Some people are crazy for turkey around the holidays… others not so much. For those of you with veggie leanings, Jones teamed up with the good folks at Tofurky® to bring you a meatless option.

We created this special soda for all you veg-heads out there. Best served with mashed potatoes and a couple of laughs, we hope you enjoy drinking it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Happy We-Stole-Your-Land-and-Killed-Your-People Day! Oops, did I just type that?

Off to SF for gluttonous activities for the next 4 days. xx

Oh, And Thank You For Rainbows. Amen.

The subject isn’t funny but PETA really cracks me up. The commercial was rejected by NBC and will not air during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on the tellie. Boo.

The World’s First Recycled Surfboard Is Here

Business partners and surf industry veterans, Joey Santley and Steve Cox introduced two first-of-their-kind revolutionary endeavors, Green Foam Blanks and ReSurf Recycling, at the Action Sports Retailer (ASR) trade show in San Diego, Calif. earlier this year.

With deep roots in the surf industry, both Santley and Cox recognized southern California as an epicenter for surfboard manufacturers with more than 1,000 surfboards being produced per day between Los Angeles and the Mexico border. Additionally, nearly 20% of the foam needed to shape each board is rendered as waste and inevitably ends up in landfills.

This unusable foam, partnered with other somewhat toxic materials required to finish each surfboard, equaled an incalculable amount of waste coming from the surf industry. Green Foam took that waste and created the world’s first recycled surfboard blank.

Totally bitchin’ dude.

Get LOST In A 727 Fuselage At Hotel Costa Verde

Hotel Costa Verde, a resort near Quepos, Costa Rica, opened its newest suite earlier this year in a refurbished Boeing 727 airline fusilage.

The vintage 1965 aircraft, which was once owned by Columbia’s Avianca Airlines, was transported piece by piece from San Jose airport, and mounted on 50 foot tall pillars in the hotel’s coastal location in Manuel Antonio National Park.

The 727 is not the Hotel Coste Verde’s only example of airplane recycling, however. The hotel’s El Avion restaurant, cafe and bar make use of a refurbished Fairchild C-123 cargo plane.The cargo plane was previously owned by the US government and involved in the controversial Iran-Contra affair in the 1980’s. Escándalo!

Dayna Decker Eco-Couture Candles

My girl Fawn Dang (best name ever!) recently gifted me this candle and I’m infatuated with its scent and the crackling wick.

Unlike most candles, Dayna Decker – Chandel candles emanate the sound of soft crackling firewood because they use clean-burning and eco-friendly wooden wicks. That’s right. These cool candles have an EcoWood Wick set in a gel-like natural resin-based wax infused with botanicals encircled in a hand-blown, glass container. Very cool as far as scented candles go.

Why EcoWood Wick?

• Organic and Healthy
• Burns Clean
• Emits a soothing crackling sound
• Intriguing horizontal “teardrop” shaped flame
• Remains rigid and upright
• Less post soot dispersion with diminutive carbon build up
• Longer Burn hours due to a cooler flame

Thanks Fawnita! xx

Use Your Head

Gotta be safe while riding around town and doing your part to help the environment. Unfortunately, I don’t wear my helmut. It’s ugly. I hiss at the bike shop dude for always trying to sell me one when I come in to get my tires pumped. A few weeks back I bumped in to a friend that hit a big ass pothole while riding and ended up in the hospital. No helmut, messed up collarbone, arm and head. I think it’s time to rethink my ” I wouldn’t be caught dead in one of those” excuse.

Yakkay came up with a good idea. It’s a Danish company that created a standard helmut with various covers available, designed to transform your helmet into a hat and become an accessory to your outfit. They look a bit big and awkward on but I guess it’s better than a crack in your head.

Gucci’s Signature Stripe Just Got Cooler. And Greener

I never thought I would see this day but now that it’s here, let’s join arms in an interlocking G formation.

Gucci has joined forces with the Rainforest Action Network and decided to stop using paper from Indonesian rainforests and plantations as well as avoiding the suppliers Asia Pulp and Paper.

“Standing rainforests are not a luxury, they’re a necessity if the world wants to stop climate change,” said Mimma Viglezio, executive VP for global communications. “Our actions are lowering our own carbon footprint, but we hope that they will also raise awareness inside the fashion industry that it’s possible for our industry to make a difference for rainforests and for the climate.”

With this policy, they are ensuring that all paper categories used by the group, from printing paper to shopping bags, do not come from endangered forests.

The Gucci Group also owns Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen so this small change is going to make a HUGE difference.
