Finally i have a camera bag. It’s not just any camera bag either, its an epiphanie camera bag.
i pretty much loved it before it came, and now that i have it in my hands, i am confirmed in my love. its beautiful.
it came in a pretty bag:
its really really quality:
it holds a lot of goodies:
so yeah. im happy. if you couldn’t tell.
we have really gotten into the organic healthy eating thing. i know its a bit late in the game but we’ve been toying with the idea for a long time. it is so expensive but i just cant justify ruining my body to save a few dollars anymore.
there are a lot of resources out there that really give you a good education on what is happening in our food system and its not comforting. Watch Food Inc, Watch The World According to Monsanto, Read books about it. I am not a complete pushover. I know there is a balance and i know that these movies have been made from a persuasive angle and are TRYING to make you believe something, but the evidence is starting to pile up and i am beginning to see that its not just an ad to get you to pay more for the same foods. There is good reason, and its not only for health… its also humane.
the baby step changes we are making:
1. all dairy products must be organic. no hormones. etc.
2. meat. grass fed cows, free range chickens, healthy piggies.
3. eggs from happy healthy chickens
4. as much local produce as possible and the rest should be organically grown… especially corn and soy. (i hate you monsanto)
5. body products with chemicals that i can read out loud easily. look at the back of your shampoo and give it a whirl.
ON TOP OF THAT, I am trying to make my own cleaning products for the apt. The 5 things you must have for a clean green house are borax, baking soda, vinegar, lemon, and salt. They will work wonders and you will save a ton of money this way. I made some electric dishwasher detergent yesterday and it works out to be about 20 cents a load. FOR HIPPIE SAVE THE EARTH type of dishwasher detergent. nice. I got it from this book: Clean by Michael de Jong
so thats what ive been up to. partly anyhow.
a few of my favorite things are included in this photo:
1. my diamond from Daniel Gray
2. my camera with one of my new fabulous lenses that you should go ahead and be jealous of… 85/1.4
3. my green eyes
4. my absolute favorite t-shirt
5. the "wedding ring" dan wore on the kayak trip from Canada to Key West
6. the biceps i earned last year
