Sip the good life.

On our trip up to northern California we made our way up the coast by--a Cajun breakfast in Santa Barbara, wine tasting in Edna Valley, tri-tip sandwich at Firestones in San Luis Obispo, then finished off the night at the Thursday farmer's market with friends.


In college I really didn't enjoy wine, but now I write this while sipping on a glass. While tasting we notice the below signs and the stewards explained they are certified sustainable vineyard meaning they're mindful of their watering practices, use of pesticides, impact on air quality, etc.





I was impressed by all the SIP certified wines we tasted and the prices were reasonable too! Have you seen bottles with the SIP labels at your local market?

Warmly,
Jamie

Unplug.

I was driving in LA this past weekend and saw the below advertisement in a bus shelter. I wasn't sure what the campaign was about, but from the looks I had to go to the website when I got home.


 It is a PSA campaign encouraging teenagers to go outside and reacquaint themselves with nature. The website it fun to play around on and informational. I found a new hiking spot on there for this weekend! Overall this campaign has a great message and I am curious to see what press and momentum it gets! Have you seen these posters in your neighborhood?

Warmly,
Jamie
