Ruby Slippers

So I recently bought the most fantabulous pair of shoes that, possibly, ever existed! In addition to being oh so good looking, funky and comfortable, they are also made of all natural materials and produced using environmentally friendly and humantarian methods. El Natura Lista, the company which produces this truely amazing footware also established the Atauchi Project to help feed and clothe needy children in Peru and supports local charaties and culture centers in Spain. They abide by a philosophy of environmental and social responsibility :). Now that I have this pair I think I'm going to be a huge fan of this company and probably spend way too much money on shoes! They also have fantastic bags.. oh the possibilities!

Wecome to a Sunlit Life!

The basic premise on which this blog is built is that being happy, healthy, and environmentally friendly are basically mutually inclusive! Being healthy makes you happy by balancing your hormones and giving you energy... and no one can deny that hopping on your bike rather than behind the wheel of your car is a good choice for the environment as well as your body! I've noticed this trend over and over again. Eating locally grown veggies, using public transport and reading a book rather then getting stuck in traffic and having bouts of intense road rage, cutting back on red meat: all of these things improve your health, reduce your stress, and are huge steps towards living a sustainable life both in terms of the planet, the body and the psyche!

My plan for this blog is to make note of small things that you can incorporate into your life which are all of these things and to write about them. I'll do a little research, offer up my (much desired I'm sure) opinion and put it out there. I hope you enjoy it and that this blog does indeed light up your life a bit!
