Today is day 5 of ditch digging at our house and J just finished the job. It really is impressive what one man with a few basic tools can accomplish. The problem? J says that the ditch is actually one of the easier jobs in this whole process and that the hard part is still to come. Yikes.
Earth Day
This Sunday is Earth Day. We will be in Alabama visiting family and friends, but if we were in town we would head to Centennial Park for the Nashville Earth Day Festival. As anyone who isn't living under a rock or in total denial knows, the Earth at this point needs all the help from us she can get. Instead of celebrating Earth Day once a year we should all commit to do little things everyday to make the future a little brighter for the next generation. One of my New Years resolutions that I have actually kept is carrying cloth bags to the grocery. What motivated me to do this was the April issue of Real Simple magazine which said "in an average year U.S. households use about 100 billion plastic bags, 99 percent of which are never recycled. Plastic grocery sacks take between 20 and 1,000 years to break down." I admit that the first time I handed the bagger my cloth bags and they looked at me like some crazy tree hugging hippie my neck got red and splotchy, my bodily response to being embarrassed, but honestly I refuse to go through life worried about what total strangers think of me. Plus I actually feel good when I leave and my cart is full of cloth bags instead of all that plastic.
Beauty Tip
So I recently stumbled onto a great beauty find. MAC eye liner is the first eye liner I have ever used that actually stays on all day and doesn't run down my face. The one I chose is MAC Techknakohl which I admit is a bit pricier than the Cover Girl that I used before, but sometimes you really do get what you pay for.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
