Be Green on the Green

Posted by Julie

June is American Express Women’s Golf Month which means a bunch of courses across the country are offering free lessons, clinics, seminars and more. And once you get into the game, you should also know how to green your game (guys–this part is for you too!).

If you enjoy golfing, the beautiful courses and outdoorsy feel of the sport might make you look past all the un-eco aspects of golfing. But think for a minute about all the water those irrigation systems use and the potentially harmful chemical treatments used to keep the greens green. Some courses are better than others though, so start by choosing a spot to play from the Audubon Society’s list of courses that protect the environment, provide wildlife habitats and conserve natural resources. Then consider biodegradable balls and tees. And finally, dress green with a Fila golf polo for women made of 67% bamboo or a Patagonia Vitaliti Jersey Polo for men made of 70% organic cotton and 30% recycled polyester-jersey.

One Shining Moment

Posted by Julie

I’m a huge college basketball fan and I love March Madness and all the excitement that comes with it–the upsets, the victories, filling out the bracket and watching it all pan out. Though I’ve usually lost interest by the time it all winds down to the championship game (unless my team Michigan State is still in, of course), I’m always ready to tune in for One Shining Moment.

It’s a tradition that just about brings tears to my eyes every time I watch. And it makes me think, what if I had a highlight reel of all of my highs, lows and shining moments to remember just how amazing certain moments in life can be. What do you think? What would you consider to be your biggest shining moment?
