The death of Osama Bin Laden is all over the news and while I could talk about the courage of those serving our country, or how it saddens me that these hero's are also subject to killing people, or what this means for our country, but honestly it is death and I think this Martin Luther King, Jr. quote my brother in law Scott brought to my attention sums up the event.

no death should be considered a victory.

Birthday presents?
I usually don't have anything to ask for on my birthday,(I LOVE SURPRISES) but it is my 21st, which is kind of a big deal, sooo I am going to list some material things that I would be down with.
If you know me....anything handmade, vintage/antique, or something with a story is always a winner for me
-my mom and I recently found this bomb ass 3d turtle stencil used to screen print fabric. It was framed and really awesome, but unfortunately, also pricey.
As for specifics....
-Tibetan Singing Bowl...I just think that it is really cool looking and I like the intention behind it.
-Any mineral or stone with a cool meaning or intention, such as a Poppy Jasper Stone. I really like the pyramid, flat oval drop, and a slab would be really cool to do something with.
-Raw almond butter...mainly because you get a deal when you buy 3 and I think the Living Tree Community is an awesome website with really pure products and dedication...check out their other nut butters, chocolates, (one is made with lavender blossoms!) and alive pestos.
- ANY of the chocolates that are a few posts below.
-Handmade pottery, but I am kind of picky so...I just really want this one awesome speckled bowl I saw at the state fair, it was so cool and an awesome shape.
- Indo Board...ebay.
Mainly I just want to be with my friends and have an absurd time just doing weird things because you are allowed to on your birthday, but my main request for the evening of my birthday, dancing. I also wouldn't mind a little karaoke. Then the next day I want to play on the beach all day and have a picnic with some lovely HEALTHY food.

Vegetarian? Vegan? Eco-Conscious? READ.
I found this article while working on an essay about eco-conscious eating and the facts are laid out in an easy to read manner with no fluff. Check out the shocking data....
chocoLOT!
Who doesn't love some chocolate....these are some healthy chocolates that are made beautifully and with a lot of consciousness, so indulge. Help yourself to a late easter chocolate?
I have only had the Chocolate Maca Chunk bar, and it is DELICIOUS. I also like that they use coconut sugar, which is extremely low glycemic, instead of agave nectar.
I specifically linked this to the chipotle bon bons, because I have a thing for chipotle seasoning, and so want to try this!!
"we strive to be green and sustainable where ever possible. We'll be the first to admit we're not perfect. From the big issues, like fairtrade and carbon foot prints, down to using energy efficient light bulbs, we're learning to be greener all the time."These are not raw and not just a chocolate bar, it is a greens food. I love these bars even though they are not raw. They are a great snack or meal replacement because they give you greens as well as give you your chocolate fix. They also use ayurvedic herbs and a lot of the ingredients are cold pressed. It is also alkaline forming.
I have also had Righteously Raw, which is good, but more mass produced I feel. There doesn't seem to be as much of a my friend made this feel. The Raw Chocolate Company also has some yummy sounding ones, but I have never had any of it. It also seems more commercial.
runner?
I think this website is awesome and something I need to spend a little time with. If you have injuries, or just enjoy running a lot, maybe you should too!
