🌲 A little more green to start your 420/Easter/Earth Day weekend off right! Nature is the ultimate artist, and crystals express this in a truly meaningful way. Macro photography is one of my favorite hobbies, because it puts even very small specimens in the spotlight! Here are several cool macro shots I’ve taken of mini specimens—Dioptase, malachite, and laboratory grown Bismuth crystals. Enjoy, and have a great weekend! 🌲 #itseasybeinggreen #macro #macrophotography #dioptase #malachite #bismuth #crystals #rocks #minerals #mineralspecimens #rocksandminerals #naturelovers #mothernature #earthday #easter #420 #earth #green #trees #greendream #mothernature #phenomenalgems #etsy #etsycrystals #etsysellersofinstagram #etsyshop https://www.instagram.com/p/BwfGDNcHFtm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=k1r70of5hd0g

🌲❄️ Gorgeous Green Garnets! This dense cluster has a striking and verdant presence. The garnet group is made up of many species, which occur in nearly all colors. The Andradite variety includes such unique shades as black, emerald green, and yellow/green. The olive green crystals seen here have grown in the rhombic dodecahedral habit, and display excellent luster and symmetry. The garnets are flanked with clear quartz crystals, which are incomplete but lend an appealing color contrast. Overall, this striking specimen is a great example of the unique colors and habits garnets are capable of forming! 🌲❄️ 2.13" x 1.88" x 1.25", 104 g (3.7 oz)--$32 on PhenomenalGems.Etsy.com. #garnets #andradite #rhombic #dodecahedron #symmetry #cubic #isometric #crystals #cluster #rocksandminerals #mineralspecimen #minerals #healingcrystals #mineralogy #quartz #quarzo #nature #green #itseasybeinggreen #earth #phenomenalgems #etsy #etsyshop #etsysellersofinstagram

Been wanting to make this for years and finally did! Green grape gazpacho (a close cousin of White Gazpacho or Ajoblanco — although those are traditionally garnished WITH grapes instead of using them IN the purée). Recipe variations for this abound, but I created my own by reading about 10 different versions and picking what I wanted from each. Green grapes (of the tarter variety); peeled diced English cucumbers (seeds removed); 2 cloves of garlic and 1 shallot (boiled in water for 5 mins to prevent one from tasting this gazpacho in one’s mouth long after the eating has ended - LOL!); half an avocado; 3/4 cup of slivered almonds (Marcona would be the best choice, but I didn’t have any this time); cubes of toasted good bread; 1/4 fruity olive oil; 3 tbsp champagne vinegar; a small green tomato (could add tomatillos if you want or skip tomato); half a jalapeño (for more heat, add the entire pepper. For less, remove the seeds and membrane or omit entirely); lemon zest and juice of one whole lemon; pinch of parsley plus stems; Maldon sea salt; and about a cup of water. Put all into blender and purée until velvety smooth. Chill for at least 2 hours (or overnight as I did). Serve ice cold. Garnish with a tiny dice of tart green apple, cucumber, jalapeno, slices of green grapes, and a drizzle of that same fruity olive oil. I finished with Maldon sea salt and Aleppo pepper. A stunning (and accidentally) vegan way to cool off deliciously in the hot weather. #greengrapegazpacho #greengazpacho #coldsoup #gazpachoistheoriginalsmoothiebowl #itseasybeinggreen #accidentallyvegan #madeitinablender #easysoup #inspiredbyajoblanco #andalucianinspired #summersoup #greengrapes #creamyandcrunchy #gracegothamgourmet #tasseltotable https://www.instagram.com/p/CPWG4yaLvkC/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s Not Easy Being Green

Ok, maybe it is. Or so one of my oldest friends is trying to teach the world with her new social media presence, @easy2bgreen. We LOVE a Kermit reference as a tool to fight climate change! This crusading friend of mine, Madison Micucci, is a New York City-dwelling broadway star with a passion for our earth mother. She JUST started her account and has already help me knock some harmful eco-habits I didn't even know I had. BOOM. 

One of my favorite posts so far is about recycling. You know what they say, "zero waste is next to godliness." Right? Every day, I am overwhelming flummoxed over the fact that there is so much GD plastic in the world. People often aren't aware of the difference between plastics and how to avoid the bad ones or find alternatives. Enter this earth-saving,  champion of a gal.

Madison reminds us that if we "MUST buy plastic" to "make a concerted effort to opt for the rigid type. All the other flimsy plastic is a complete nuisance when it comes to repurposing and is almost always avoidable. She also reminds us to opt for metal over cardboard when it comes to buying soup, beans, or sauce because they had to go and ruin that cardboard with a lining made with, you guessed it, plastic-like shit. Not cool. 

Personal action accounts like these are my favorite to follow. They not only inform but show me how to put information into practice. It's easy to feel like trying to save the world is completely helpless. Being consistently taught through Insta posts about how to make an impact makes the load seem just a bit lighter. YAY! Visit @Easy2bGreen on Instagram and learn about the little things that make a BIG difference from a lady who knows her shit.
