Changing Lifestyles & Finding Our Truth
We all seek a lifestyle.
Some vision of a life that we feel we should emulate. Some of us mirror…

You’ve heard of farm to table, but have you heard of farm to factory? Apparently neither have many companies.
A recent initiative by Not for Sale—an organization dedicated to ending modern-day slavery and human trafficking—looked at fifty apparel brands to assess how well they knew what was happening at each stage of their supply chain. They then graded companies on an A-F scale.
The report cards were not impressive. Of the fifty, twenty-eight scored C and below, meaning they were completely disconnected from the practices of their sources and subcontractors. Only seven scored an A. Findings further showed that a mere 8 percent engaged in unannounced audits and interviews in the factories they worked with. All of this raises the question: If companies have no idea about practices down their supply chain, how can consumers make informed decisions?
This topic was already foremost on our brains. In the past year, we’ve visited six out of our nine factories. We plan to visit the remaining three and explore our raw material sources in 2013.
This is fabulous! Sad that Lulumon has such a failing grade and yet is a yoga clothing company. Complete conflict of interest, I’d think.

A Blind Eye
Do you walk through your day with a blind eye to the kindness and compassion that stands before you?
Do you shield yourself with the ancient wisdom of the world’s religions which you’ve twisted and tormented to justify your anger and hatred towards others?

The newest addition to my life. Meet Brandy, an adorable hound/weimeriner mix who I adopted last week. And so begins the Brandy chapter of my life.
I recently had to rely on Siri and my iPad’s new Apple Maps to help me navigate the rural Eastern Shore for a Whole Foods photo shoot in Virginia. I had 14 destinations— some in the middle of f***ing nowhere — and the iPad was all I had. No map would show these destinations. Shockingly— she led me to the proper destination on each location- even if she was off by a few hundred yards. Still- she was a life-saver!
Just a shot of the lovely ladies from Paradox Pastry! I had the pleasure of documenting them in action at their hopping and happening cafe in the warehouse district of Charlottesville, VA. We began working together in April, when they were relentlessly working on bringing the vision of their cafe to life. We started with a website to show off their cakes, did a fabulous social media workshop and then scheduled this photo shoot!
So amazed to see their vision come to life!! Oh, and did I mention how amazingly fabulous their food is?? Guinness Chocolate Cakes, Ham & Swiss Croissants to die for and brownies that will make you weep! Oh, and did I mention that the owner graduated from the Cordon Bleu cooking school in Paris? Seriously, just make the trip to #CVille and revel in the culinary divinity!!
