More Hip Than Hippie - Podcast #58 - In Bed with Debra Lynn Dadd
Have no fear, we're still rated PG
(well, ok, maybe PG13)!

This week we consult with the Queen of Green herself, Ms. Debra Lynn Dadd. Author and fellow Green Diva, Debra crawls into bed with us to discuss creating a healthy, chemical free bedroom. You gotta listen to this one!

Dori's recovering from being ill on her vacation (can you say blah?) and we have lots of great listener email. Tune in!

Beer and Chocolate:

Beer: Drop Top Amber Ale by Widmer Brewing Company Portland, Oregon

Chocolate Our stellar listener Cindy brought us back some chocolate from her visit to her native Canada. She sent a few different varieties so we'll be spreading it out. This week its Botticelli's Double Dark from AlpineConfections, Inc in B.C. Canada. Yippee!

Finds & Hip News:

  • We're a tad light this week as Dori was laid up in bed eating chocolate and watching her soaps. Not really, but Val thinks she was faking being ill. Note: Val will be discussing her black eye next week once Dori reads these notes.
  • We found this great piece in EarthTalk â?? a newsletter from the folks at E Magazine. It's about the better environmental choice: cork wine stoppers, plastic stoppers or screw caps.
  • Check out the August/September issue of Ready Made Magazine. It's chock full of cool ideas.
  • Val also caught up on this months issue of Plenty Magazine and its got some great articles. If you haven't read it, give it a whirl.

More Hip Than Hippie Pocast #55 -It's camping season!
With summer heat and long, lazy days the timing is perfect to head for the hills. This week we dish some tips and ideas for a trip that's all about leaving smaller footprints while having a great time. We've got some great beer, chocolate and you, our listeners. Tune in!

It's a new month – Please vote for us at Podcast Alley. Check out our listener forum to see what everyone is talking about.

Beer and Chocolate: Beer: Sac-Squatch Scotch Ale from the Sacramento Brewing Company. This stuff packs a wallop – 7% alcohol content so it's not for lightweights!

Chocolate: We decided to give mainstream chocolate a go - see if it lives up to its name. Ghirardelli Intense Dark Espresso Escape. Cacao content 60% (wha? Intense? Woosies -but, does it taste good?)


Finds & Hip News:

Tis the season and we've got loads of tips and ideas (some quite silly) that will help to decrease the size of your footprint in the great outdoors. Here are some links to find out more information.
