First blog post! We thought we’d introduce ourselves.
Consider us your “wise to” fashionistas on a mission to discover the best in what green and fair trade has to offer from beauty and fashion to delectable eats, not only good for your tummy but also good for the world.
Our most recent undertaking: Find you great tasting locally brewed Kombucha. For the Kombucha loyalist, its always great to support local brewers not just the mainstream big companies. For those of you wondering, “What’s KOMBUCHA?” Well, we are Kombucha enthusiasts who could go on about how delish and beneficial it is. However, we’ll try to keep it simple…
Kombucha is a fungus fermented into a tea that has been reported to have been used for over 2000 years in China for medicinal purposes. It does have a unique taste, but seriously if you have an open mind and allow your taste buds to warm up to it the health benefits can be amazing. I can tell your from personal experience! Here’s a link if you’d like to check out more: http://www.getkombucha.com/knabcoko.html (there is so much info on the web this is just one link).
Any how, we went on a mission Thursday to track down a friend of a friend’s mother who has his own Kombucha brewing company in the Bay. His line can be found at your neighborhood Whole Foods and Trader Joes. We had planned to purchase a few cases from him and share the various flavors he offers on this blog buuut we ran in to a few problems as you will see below…
The GPS took us to a blocked road!! And both our cells died on us so we had NO way of getting in touch with the guy!
So, naturally we decided to hop the fence.
Which took us to an abandoned parking lot!!! (The GPS was in our hand and said the location was right next to an empty building with boarded doors and broken windows...wtf?!)
So, we never found this phantom location and after an hour of driving around looking for the place we headed back to the city.
All that searching and illegal fence climbing made us tired and verrryy hungry so back in the city we decided to stop at a new restaurant in the Mission District, Gracias Madre. Gracias Madre serves 100% organic and vegan mexican food.
Quesadillas de Calabaza
Butternut squash, caramelized onion and cashew cheese folded into tortillas with a pumpkin seed salsa
Enchiladas con Mole Poblano
Mole enchiladas topped with mushrooms and cheese, served with sauteed greens and beans 
Mexican Wedding Cookies and Homemade Ice Cream
This delicious dinner definitely made up for the disaster that was the afternoon.
We hope you will check back with us to see more of our adventures and to find out about great organic/ vegan restaurants in the bay as well as posts on fashion, beauty, health, music, and the world.
