It seems the beauties with beautiful hair aren't cut out for going that one step further into potential hippiedom (Deanna didn't like it either). : ) We all do have our limits. Mine is in the cloth wipe dept I suppose. They have one up on me there!<br /><br />Anyway, it is awesome to think about how we have all grown from who we were and what we were willing to do 2 years ago!Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11208873906357613465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203077889905915553.post-1947318334014096022009-07-08T17:01:23.454-07:002009-07-08T17:01:23.454-07:00What a great review.

She does have nice hair and is generally beautiful all over. <br /><br />I love your review of the book! And it is so accurate and so well deserved. I loved reading the book- having read her blog religiously, and been at the other end of the phone during many an anxiety attack over it and the many times she wanted to throw in the towel (unbleached cotton of course). <br /><br />Though she is far too humble to ever boast, I love the impact she had and all the changes she has inspired- from little to big.<br /><br />My family (see Chapter 10) affectionately refer to her as The Thistle. It has stuck.<br /><br />Thank you for writing such a thoughtful and wonderful review.<br />MeghanMeghan (Making Love In The Kitchen)http://www.meghantelpnerblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203077889905915553.post-10068926347384223062009-07-07T20:19:36.612-07:002009-07-07T20:19:36.612-07:00I look forward to reading your book, but I felt su...I look forward to reading your book, but I felt such a kinship with your comment about being amazed at the brand new eco-world of blogging.

Weird to think that NIM, Crunchy and I were doing the green blogging thing so early in the game... I always felt like I was late to the table with that (still refuse to Twitter, btw). <br /><br />Chile -- can you ask your library if they'll order it? Or tell me what one you go to and I'll harass Houghton Mifflin and make sure at least one copy gets over there, STAT!<br /><br />Crunchy, I'm all for an abbreviated book club, or even just a wee post on what you thought of it...<br /><br />Oh, and also, this is making me laugh to no end hearing that people actually think my hair looks nice! In truth, I have one side that's curly and one side that's straight and it's pretty frizzy. Basically I just wash it, dry it, stick it in a ponytail and occasionally take it out of the ponytail to let it breath. I'm off the No 'Poo thing, and also off the vinegar rinse business because I feel like refilling my bottles with organic/natural products is eco-friendly enough and the other stuff from my pantry just wasn't cutting it. Brand-wise, I'm pretty hooked on Giovanni (the 50-50 shampoo and the Smooth as Silk conditioner are AMAZING and get scores of 2 on EWG's cosmetic database, which makes me happy).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203077889905915553.post-78641837458935232982009-07-07T10:17:21.397-07:002009-07-07T10:17:21.397-07:00Beany, right?

I mean, I won't speak for Vanessa, but I think my life has changed substantially because of my foray into environmentalism. I suppose it's possible that I would have ended up here in London in my masters program if it hadn't been for all of this, but it would have been very different....<br /><br />GB, yes, I'll do that.<br /><br />Deanna, I know, it's weird right? It reminded me of the good old days when I used to spend all my free time on blogs and the whole blog thing was shiny and new.

I'm looking forward to reading vanessa's book as soon as i can get it. <br /><br />your comment on how you think your eco-journeys have improved your lives was thought provoking for me...because i like you, i also got into being eco-concious and blogging about it 2 years ago, but i can't agree that my life feels more grounded or saved. maybe i'm not trying hard enough to be true to my beliefs about saving the planet. or maybe it's just due to other factors in my life. i'm curious to know if other eco/bloggers feel like their lives have improved.Color Me Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00570876113939066775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203077889905915553.post-19475168193228125472009-07-07T07:31:23.908-07:002009-07-07T07:31:23.908-07:00I want to read her book but my library doesn't...I want to read her book but my library doesn't have it.
