happy weekend!

hello lovely readers. i hope today is as good as a friday should be...a winding down of the week behind you and a start to a great weekend. what do you have planned?

since last week was earth day, i think some green-related links are in order...why not last week, you might ask? well, i wasn't in a linky mood, but also, the hardest part about making changes is to do them after all the pomp and circumstance (as in new years and resolutions and earth day and greening your life).


so today, some links you might enjoy:

glamour's 30 little ways to save the planet. i love numbers 4 and 22. and check out number 24 - shocking stat!

along the same lines, here's 12 easy ways to green your home from house beautiful.


and here are 30 eco-friendly home finds from country living.

and on that note, in case you missed my post last week about the fabulous fabric website cia's palette, here is that link. with fabric choices like this, you'll want to recycle old furniture you have just so you can reupholster it!

something i plan on doing this weekend that's not only green but relaxing is to make sure to sit outside with no agenda, no plans, no blackberry and no time limit. i want to just sit and listen to the breeze, the water far in the distance and the trees dancing around. throw in some dappled sunlight and maybe an afternoon nap and i'm golden.
