Reclaiming what style means and celebrating beauty that's healthy and fun!

It’s been a pretty wierd week here on the East Coast. We experienced the shake, rattle and roll of an earthquake here at GD Headquarters earlier in the week, and then it was like an episode of Rescue Me here with our local Fire Fighters showed up TWICE to help us pump out the basement with 3 feet of water rising fast after Irene had her way with us.

In Ethiopia, the sick travel to Entoto mountain by the thousands. There, on the highest peak overlooking Addis Ababa, it is said that a pool of holy water can cure HIV/AIDS. For women that remain unhealed by the pool, ostracized by their families and without financial hope, design company Raven + Lily is providing a different kind of healing.

Training with a buddy is one of the best ways to make and stick to a habit of exercising regularly. What otherwise might feel like a chore suddenly becomes girls’ night (or lunch hour) out! Chatting while you train is a great way to while away the time, especially if you have kids at home and are looking for adult conversation, as long as you don’t believe quite everything you hear.
Below are four exercise myths you may hear at the gym — and the realities you should keep in mind when you hear them.
Hi there! I'm Becky Striepe, a green crafter and vegan foodie living in Atlanta, Georgia with my husband and two cats. My mission is to make eco-friendly crafts and vegan food accessible to anyone who wants to give them a go.
Founder/Editor of OrganicBeautySource.com online directory of nontoxic organic beauty products.
Safe cosmetics advocate, writer, researcher.
Mother of two little environmentalists who can already spot a toxic product when they see one.
I remember crafting when I was younger, but I didn't really start again until I was in my 20's. Now that I have, I can't imagine turning back! I live in Chicago, IL with my husband and 2 kitties. Embroidery is my top craft (at the moment) but I also love paper crafting, clay work, using power tools, and re-imagining ordinary thrift store finds into fun projects.
I’m a twenty something who got caught up in the stories of people, and, while caught on their stories, made a commitment to helping change their lives.
It took awhile to figure out where I was going to land, and how I was going to do it, but, post six transfers, 15 moves and five trips overseas, I decided to take my journalism degree out on a limb, and create a social enterprise that would not only open the doors for me to help Ugandan women struggling from the effects of AIDS and abuse, but would allow me to write about what I really care about: people.
