Instead of letting loose and impulsively getting a tat, try relieving your stress by pampering yourself at an eco-spa. These green retreats use vegan skincare products and organic detoxifiers, and stock everything from biodegradable cups by the water coolers to recycled toilet paper. You can even save yourself the trip to the spa (and save gas) by bringing the spa home. Specialized hot tubs with foam-filled shells can use the heat lost from the spa pump to actually heat the water, minimizing the energy used. Then follow up with a green facial and makeover, all in the comfort of your own home. Now you won’t only be healing yourself, but healing the world too!

Brangelina’s gonna BLOW!

Did you hear? Angelina Jolie has checked into the hospital to have her twins! We’re betting you did hear. Everyone knows. We walked by a taxi stand last night and the only words we could make out were "Brangelina" and "esploder," again and again!
She hasn’t had the baby yet, but thanks to Jack Black everyone is expecting a double-whammy. We may not know when the moment has arrived till a little after its over, though. Angelina has a security laden floor of a hospital in Nice, France, to herself and her crew. Meanwhile, Pitt’s holding the very expansive fort down with the rest of the brood nearby.
The biggest news in progeny has come out at the same moment as the biggest news in forest conservation. The New York Times is reporting a $510 million deal to preserve 500 square miles of former timber land in Montana. As the price of lumber falls, developers have been buying it to build housing. Protecting this forest land and keeping it intact is important, because its one of the only US ecosystems that hasn’t had any extinctions since the Lewis & Clark.
Lewis & Clark? Now those would be cute names for two twins.
