Eco-chic gowns & beauty products galore! That was the name of the game at last weeks Adele Wechsler & Aveda co-hosted event, ‘Go Green, Why Knot!‘ in Washington, DC! Ms. Katie Martin along with the POLISHED team had the pleasure of attending!

Fruits of the Season
The most beautiful centerpieces are sometimes the simplest, and who can resist colorful, ripe fruit on the the table? Using seasonal fruit on your table as edible centerpieces or favors is green and adds even more sweetness to your day. Citrus fruits like lemons and limes add a pop of color, and after standing in as centerpieces, they can be used again by the caterer or florist.

Help Clean-up The Gulf Coast Oil Spill Catastrophe
With no end in sight, and so many things being affected by the BP oil spill in the Gulf, it’s easy to feel helpless. I am especially heartbroken for the local fishing community, tourism, and any other local businesses that are sure to be impacted–if not destroyed–by this terrible tragedy. But, if you know me at all, then you will know that I am always looking for the bright side of things. In this situation, there may not be any bright side, but there are things we can do to help the situation, rather than just feeling helpless watching the oil gush on tv.
Here’s what you can do today:
1) Keep informed. For oil spill news and updates go here.
2) Text WILDLIFE to 20222 to donate $10 for the clean-up
3) Volunteer your time to help wildlife
4) Join National Wildlife Federation on Facebook
5) On Twitter
5) On Flickr
6) On YouTube
But most of all, what you can do is reduce your own personal dependence on oil and oil byproducts so that we can hope to avoid this type of disaster in the future…
