A Fierce Advocate for Animal Conservation ~ April Kelly Inspires Us to Be a Friend to Nature in a Special Way

 

In befriending April Kelly, I can readily appreciate how the planet’s wildlife has found their “forever friend.” 

Golly, I was so honored that April wrote on the Ladies Who Lunch Conversations post: You are the perfect example of "women supporting women," and I am proud to call you a friend. 🥰🙏

Awww. We all need such a special, unconditional friendship…

That April is a fierce advocate for wildlife conservation demonstrates her uncompromising, virtuous, chivalric code.  Allow me to explain an extraordinary passion project:

Spring Cleaning? Choose The Cleanest, Skincare & Eco-Friendly Makeup: Beautycounter ~ & Your Very Own Consultant!

 

Spring and cleaning go together like peanut butter and Jelly. Or like Thelma and Louise. So many great pairings 👯 Yet, I daresay that few if any duos are aligned with their very own season!  And with all due respect to Marie Kondo and tossing things that don’t bring you joy, there’s a way more important Clean to attend to. Don’t you agree that skin cleansing & selfcare bests disposing of a college sweatshirt?!  

I can’t wait to share just the transformative, squeaky~clean solutions you’ll want to ADD to your tidy beauty routine.  Let’s reassess our decluttering: 

Cosmic Cocktails For Celestial Canoodling ~ Eclipse Drink Recipes for a Galactic Party

There’s no doubt that Total Eclipse 2024 is surely helping to “eclipse” all the, ahem, other “galactic” happenings that seem to be streaming in from other planets or outer space of late. Huge storms, today’s very abnormal earthquake for these parts, just for starters… So many puns on this phenomena. Plus a pun is also called a “paronomasia” which in itself seems like a sure-fire paranormal state! 

How to mark this once in a lifetime event?  With Cosmic Cocktails 🍸 Here are some “heavenly” drink recipes to celebrate the cosmic intimacy.  And to wear your Corona crown with style.

Are You A Plant Lover? Are You Food Curious? Special Guest, Dr. Cassandra Quave, "The Plant Hunter," Reveals Her Search for Healing Plants & Her Inspiring Life

 

One of the first impressions I had when I discovered Dr. Cassandra Quave Ph.D, is that she is so approachable ~ so girlfriend-ready!  The fact that she is a kind of plant polymath: a world-renowned scientist, author, speaker, podcast host, wife, mother, explorer who leads a group of research scientists studying medicinal plants to find new life-saving drugs from nature, and professor at Emory University School of Medicine was rather intimidating, to be honest.  Yet her genuine goodness is undeniably  crystalline. She is a force of nature!  Naturally 😀

I was in awe of her work as a leading ethnobotanist; I was keen to host her as a special guest for my Ladies Who Lunch Conversations videocast. Would she say yes?
