Sorry if this bothers you, I know it is personal – which I rarely post about here…

We have become very disconnected in so may ways from the community, earth, our food and our trash. I have been feeling very strongly about this – so I wanted to share what I think are some of the must see documentaries. These are all basically documentaries.. two of them are just under 20 minutes and the last is close enough to a documentary.. not sure what to call it since it was just one tv. I have a side project going on called Mint&Chilli, check it out and let me know what you think – it is about food, the environment and such.

1. No Impact Man




2. Food Inc.



3. Story of Stuff with Annie Leonard – Documentary
** this is the whole documentary below – just 20 minutes – so worth watching!



4. The Story of Cosmetics
Any one that uses cosmetics should see this (that includes you too men… don’t be fooled, it is not just makeup) Full documentary below – only 8 minutes!



5. Super Size Me



6. Taste the Waste



7. Jamies Fowl Dinners
** you can watch the whole show on youtube, contiune to part two ect.



Hope that was not an overload, glad that I could share with you some of the documentaries that I find important. What do you think?

I have always worried about what is going into my body whether it be in food or cosmetics.



The Story of Cosmetics Website is a great resource, as is The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. Another site I am loving now is No More Dirty Looks

What are your thoughts?

Norway’s National day is coming up and I wrote up a post about it, check it out here :)

Each year on the 17th of May, Norwegians fill the streets celebrating by waving flags and cheering – the 17th of May is the day the Norwegian Constitution was adopted in 1814. … On May 17, 1814 the Constitution of Norway was signed in. At the time, this was considered one of the most radical democratic constitutions in the world, now it is the oldest in Europe and second oldest in the world that is still in use. The Constitution declared Norway to be an independent nation. … Norwegian Children know that on this day they will generally be allowed to eat as much ice cream as they wish. Also, it is very common to eat many pølse (hot dogs) on this day. … On the 17th of May, Norwegians will wear their finest clothes. Many Norwegians wear their Bunad, this is a traditional Norwegian costume that is specific to where they are from. In Norway there are at least 200 styles of Bunads. The designs are elaborate, hand-made, with embroidery, scarfs, shawls, and gold or silver pieces. Learn more here

I am sure she has played on a iphone before, but she is only 2.5, I am very impressed. I am not a huge pusher of the iPad, I am all about seeing how many improvements come with the second generation.. and it having a camera before I buy one :)
