Green for Life!

Hello readers!

Yes,  I know… I should write more often but there is the day to day crazy routine and a thousand excuses, whatever… I am not proud of myself. I should write more.

This Blog is so special. This Blog is one of my beloved husband´s great ideas and I am SO GRATEFUL we have this wonderful Blog.

Hey: next Sunday I will be getting the place to New Zealand!! Oh my Gosh! So amazing. I just can´t wait to land in Auckland Airport and RUN to my husband´s arms! Pure happiness for us. And we will celebrate our 3 years 8 months married TOGETHER!!!!!

I decided to go as green as I can (which is not easy at all living is a busy dirty city like Rio and also considering that organic products are so expensive in this country and there so tradition of eating healthy whoatsoever). We have the juice places in most every corner but we (Cam and I) know for sure they add artificial sweetner to every juice we order….. hummm… And the sandwiches are nice, but not natural at all. My favorite restaurant – New Natural – in Ipanema is fantastic but completely out of my way work-home.  The “Kilo -restaurants” round the corners (like one block from my father´s place) are so expensive and you can´t really find much “greens” among the options. There is an organic raw restaurant close to my father´s place but SO EXPENSIVE… I´m talking about Universo Organico. There is another restaurant Celeiro, which is terribly expensive as well.

My best option is shop for greens and tomatoes at the Hortifruti Supermarket and make a salad at home.

Besides food, I have been brownsing at Amazon.com and found a couple of very nice books. Check these out:

1) The Gorgeously Green Diet: How to Live Lean and Green

2) Sara Snow’s Fresh Living: The Essential Room-by-Room Guide to a Greener, Healthier Family and Home

sara snowspeaking about Sara Snow, I think she is great. Always enjoyed watching her wonderful TV show “Get Fresh” at Discovery Home and Health Channel. I bet the book is amazing.

Also, I just love this episode of  “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ where Sara helps the kids with recycling and other “green stuff”.

3) Easy Green Living: The Ultimate Guide to Simple, Eco-Friendly Choices for You and Your Home
