Calling all hippies! You are back in style, man
The true definition of a hippie? Long hair, peace-loving, tie-dye? How about this one –
hippie – “a person, who rejects established institutions and values, seeks spontaneity, direct personal relations expressing love, and expanded consciousness…”
Alright man, we dig it! Thanks to our friends at modern hippie mag for redefining the word.

In search of – cool reusable coffee mugs
We love that everyday more people consider making their morning cup of coffee at home to save money or bring their cup with them to their local coffee shop to save the planet. The problem is finding a cool reusable coffee cup that you want to take with you. Most of the ones we have found our plain or covered with a corporate logo; or they are made of plastic that make our coffee taste horrible.
The search is over – we have found cool reusable coffee mugs made by Vessel Drinkware. Made of double-walled porcelain, these cups don’t require a coffee sleeve and my coffee tastes great. Add in the fact that they are dishwasher and microwave safe and the designs are cute, cool and a little funky – we are sold.
If you take a mug to your local coffee shop instead of using a to go cup, you will save 2555 trees every single year – pretty amazing. A lot of stores are now offering small discounts if you bring your own cup too.
