Technicolor Toys: Green Gadgets and Accessories
Kermit the frog may think it isn't easy being green, but it sure is easy to be green with gadget envy. You can never have enough, so choose wisely and purchase items you will treasure as long as they live. If you love all things green, grass-tinted gizmos are calming, unisex and a little retro (doesn't this Bermuda headset remind you of vintage cars?).
House Tour: A Net-Zero Energy Home in Vermont
I recently visited beautiful northern Vermont, and the South Farm Homes development in Hinesburg. This six-home development aims for "net-zero" status, meaning that the homes will generate as much power as they use over the course of a year.

Do You Have a Compost Bin?
Last weekend when I was cooking at FabSugar's house, I was surprised to see a stylish, yet eco-friendly compost bin in her kitchen. Although she's not much of a big cook, she is a fan of helping the environment. Fab's commitment to green living has inspired me to start composting.
Get the Look: Spring Fresh Living Room
This room just shouts Spring, don't you think? From the lemony yellow wall to that uplifting lime green in the sofa pillows, it's just gorgeously seasonal. Even with a woodstove and cord wood in the corner, there's absolutely no Winter in this photo.
Guess the Gorgeous Green Hue!
This week, I celebrated St. Patty's Day wearing not one, but three shades of green. Olive green, grass green, and army green to be exact.
Fab Finding Follow-Up: St. Patty's Day Party
St. Patrick's Day is today and you know what that means — party time! It's the perfect excuse to gather up a group of homies and let loose.
Great Green St. Patrick's Day Beauty Goodies!
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! Yesterday when I asked you if you'd be wearing green makeup today, you were pretty split on the subject, but since I'm such a fan of campy, corny dress-up, I thought you might enjoy taking a peek at a few of my favourite green beauty products from years past!
