Birdbrained for Bird Bags

I am sure many of you have heard about the imminent worldly transition from plastic to recycled bags in shopping centers. Well, if you haven’t, many stores and places are no longer giving out free plastic bags in an effort to reduce harmful plastic waste, so they are trying to make people switch to recycled grocery bags. Many people are upset about this transition, like my mother, because she likes to use the bags for trash bags, and in a way that is recycling. But then there are people like me, that want to make the complete change. We are truly killing our planet. Everything from the water we drink, to the air we breath is contaminated, and in order to fix this mess we need to take action NOW, and as a whole. And that is why I am trying to reduce my carbon footprint, and I am starting to use recycled bags. I purchased a couple of recycled bags for shopping, and I plan on using them in an effort to change my mindset. And I say my mindset because obviously I am not naïve that my change is not going to make a big impact in the world, but at least I will know that I am living a little greener. I know that many people in this world, all over, will continue to habitually contaminate the world, which is deeply unfortunate for our future generations. At least, I will try to live a little lighter.

Plus, they are super cute. ;)

This Is The Day!

So there are a few things in my life that I obsess over, well some might say otherwise, but the top thing that I do boil over for is tea, and owls, and editing, and cooking, and… But tea, that is something that is direly needed on an everyday basis, because like many coffee drinkers I have been faced with an addiction. Horrid headaches and hot tempered ways become of me without my tea. Despite my need, I love tea. And over the summer I was thinking about how amazing it would be to have a tea shop of my own. There are plenty of coffee shops, but none of tea! How upsetting, I thought to myself. But then, as I was strolling down The Blvd in Lancaster, CA, my dream came true. There is a tea shop called Molly Kate’s Gifts and Tea Room moving into The Blvd. In the background of my mind “This Is The Day”, by The The, consumed my mind, or maybe the speakers among the bushes of The Blvd. But my life surly has changed. Haha. The shop owner is very sweet, and apparently she had another shop in the Valley, but now is moving her shop to The Blvd. Their grand opening plans to be on September 1st, and trust me, I’ll be there.
