Top of the morning to ya! I’m a big fan of St. Paddy’s Day because it’s all about the green–the color, of course, but it’s also a great time to think about going green too. Here are some tips for how to celebrate in an ecofriendly way this year.

1. If you want to avoid a pinch, make sure to wear something green! But to wear something with DOUBLE the green, opt for clothing that’s gentle on the environment. Head to a thrift store for some good old fashioned recycling or choose eco-friendly fabrics like sustainable cotton.

2. Go ahead and celebrate with a pint! But if you’re going to drink green beer, try to sip on something organic. Check out this list of organic brews and ecofriendly breweries. (And don’t forget to recycle those bottles!)

3. If the weather cooperates, try to…

This year’s theme is “Eat Right, Your Way, Every Day.” No matter your lifestyle or dietary preferences, there’s always a way to eat nutritiously.

You may not know this about me, but I’m a huge movie buff! My ideal evening consists of fizzing up some soda and cuing up some Netflix. Obviously, I couldn’t be more excited about the Academy Awards. But I do have a confession to make. Of the nine films nominated for Best Picture this year, I only actually saw two of them: Les Mis (or, Les Fizz, as I like to call it) and Silver Linings Playbook. I’m a busy gal and just couldn’t keep up with them all! With that being said, here are my thoughts on each of the nominees:
