Happy 2nd To GG&S

Two years + over a thousand posts and we’re still here on the interwebz!  Happy Bitchday to us!

Blog Love: Lady Art Looks

Ladies you must check out my girls hair/makeup blog Lady Art. My favorite section is the Step by Step where they have video tutorials of how to apply makeup. I’m not very good at painting my face but these vids make me want to run out and get the recommended brushes and makeup and go to work on my mug!

Nice job Alana and Azelle! xo

We Got A Facelift

Maybe it’s not as glamorous as Jocelyn ‘Catwoman’ Wildenstein, but we love it.

Major thanks go out to Shahram Shokrian. He’s the one that helped get our blog up and running in the beginning. And he still to this day saves me from inhaling a liter of vodka and staring at my screen when things go awry by continuing to loan his fabulous talent and time. My liver thanks you Shahram! ♥ Visit his Podkive site.

NAACP vs. Gay Marriage: Do The Right Thing By Raymond Roker

Ok, I lied. Had time to check out some blogs, Twitter and FB and I wanted to share a post my friend Raymond wrote on Huffington Post this past weekend.

Read it, watch the videos, check out the feedback and share your thoughts. 1000 comments so far and he’s done it before with this post: Stop Blaming California’s Black Voters for Prop 8.

Keep on keepin’ on RayRo. xx

Back In Business

Somehow I got my one good brain cell to figure out how to post HTML codes for pics on my blog-which for me is like learning to read Latvian. The only problem is, I now have to go through an additional website to create the code but as our friend Marcus Troy said, “Blogging ain’t easy but somebody’s got to do it.”

It was a nice short break, but honestly, I kinda missed posting. Sitting on my laptop, researching stories, scouring blogs and having a drink in between. Then looking for pictures, sizing them and then having another drink. Linking, categorizing, tagging and then.. you get the picture- I missed leisurely boozing while blogging!

Word To Yo’ Mother (Earth) 2009

Happy Earth Day to our family, friends and readers. April 22nd holds a special place in our heart. Jen and I started our blog in February 2008. GG&S was created as an outlet to share the small changes we were going through in our new found passion to go “green,” amongst our peers and loved ones.

In the beginning we wrote our posts sporadically, getting in 5-10 posts a month. After we attended our first Earth Day event, one year ago today, we were so inspired, we decided to post more regularly on a daily basis and we’ve grown so much since then.

We have never claimed to be 100% “green.” We do our small part and get really excited to learn that our friends are doing the same when they come across a post that motivates them. It’s all about baby steps. We like to consider ourselves as tree snugglers instead of tree huggers.

We give thanks to everyone for all their comments, support and positivity to the little blog that could. We’ll keep ‘em coming as long as you all keep reading or until our Macs die out on us or until carpal tunnel kicks in.

Keep it Green, Grown and Sexy.

Mad love.

Thuy & Jen

YDT Launch Party

Helio House gas station on Robertson and Olympic.

The adorable Tracy Hepler of www.yourdailythread.com

The Tesla electric sports car. Vroom.

Event producer extraordinaire, Sarah Shewey of Pink Cloud Events.

Saturday evening I stopped by the YDT launch party/earth day event. The Veev was flowing, feet were shuffling to the music and good times were had by all.

If you haven’t checked out YDT, please do so now. It’s your one stop shop for all the haps in the Los Angeles “green” scene.

Congrats to Tracy & Lauren. Big things ahead!

Honorary DISGRASIAN

I’m honored to be featured as one of Disgrasian’s Babewatch gals. This is one of my favorite blogs in the whole wide world and you MUST pay them a visit. Diana and Jen get mad love in the blogoshpere world and you’ll see why when they make you tinkle organic drops of joy while laughing.

You’ll love them as much as I do. Especially if rice is a staple in your diet and you were raised by hard ass asian parents.

Thanks ladies. Tila Tequila ain’t got shit on me! Except for circus boobies.

Blog Love: The Huffington Post

<

One of our favorite bloggers, Arianna Huffington, appeared on Charlie Rose to talk shop about, what else? Blogging. I have been a devoted Huffpo reader ever since I dropped in to read one of Raymond's posts. (Check his past posts here. One controversial topic he wrote about received over 1100 comments.)

The Huffington Post has over 2,500 contributors. DAMN! If you’ve been thinking of starting a blog or already have one and want to expand, watch this video and be sure to get yourself a copy of The Huffington Post Complete Guide To Blogging.

Type. Spellcheck. Publish.
