Ice cream helping the environment, who knew? Well I did know that Ben & Jerry’s does not use milk from cows that have been subjected to bovine growth hormone, uses chlorine free packaging, supports sustainable agricultural practices, are committed to reducing their carbon footprint and does business with likeminded companies. But I just found out about Haagen Dazs helping honey bees. If you didn’t know about the honey bee crisis, 25% of the world’s bee population has disappeared over the last few years. You can help by donating and planting bee friendly plants. Haagen Dazs will even send you a packet of wildflower seeds. Just send a self addressed, stamped envelope to:

So Saturday, Jason and I went to Paris Landing Rose Garden and were supposed to meet with Mitzi, but she was a no show. So on Sunday I sent her an email and after a reminder email she finally got back in touch with me. The only thing that bothered me about it is that if you have a plated meal then everyone has to have the same thing. Which would be fine except that me and two of my friends are vegetarians. I am not so preposterously full of myself as to force others into vegetarianism. So that leaves us with the choice of a buffet. Which if you think about it is still silly to go into buffet with two meat choices just so three people can have something different. This one is definitely something that will have to be worked out when it isn’t deadline day.
Also, I am loving my bare minerals makeup that Bethany recommended to me. It gives great coverage and seems to be agreeing with my troublesome skin. We will see if I am still liking it in a few weeks.


A few things:
1. Is it ok if I don’t plant bee loving plants since I’m allergic? =)
2. I wonder if you can’t find a hearty veggie meal for the plated dinner?? Maybe?
3. As for Bare Minearls: I love the concept and the speed, but I find it settles into my fine “no in my early 20’s anymore” lines. Let me know if it works better for you. I’d like to give it another shot.
I heart you!
