Image
A protester from the organization, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), disrupted a speech being given by Pharrell Williams at a Biopic Premiere in Toronto.  She rushed the stage with a white sign in her hand that read:  Pharrell: Stop Supporting Killing Animals for Fashion.  Pharrell was in Toronto to support his LEGO biopic entitled, Piece by Piece.   The protester directed a number of statements towards Pharrell and the audience concerning his role as men's creative director at Louis Vuitton.   "Your Louis Vuitton collection … Pharrell’s collection is made from their blood,” the protester shouted to the audience. “Pharrell stop torturing animals! Ostriches are being hung upside down, electrocuted with their necks slit.”   PETA is petitioning Louis Vuitton to stop abusing animals and using their bodily materials for the purpose of fashion creation.  During the protest, Pharrell made a pause during his speech and outrightly agreed with the protester.  "Ok.

Conscious Luxury Travel Series: Green Lodging at Lake Buena Vista Resort & Spa






Are you looking for green accommodations for your next trip to Walt Disney World? If you are traveling to the Orlando area and consider yourself to be a conscious individual, you will probably find yourself right at home in the Lake Buena Vista Resort Village & Spa.
Lake Buena Vista Resort Village and Spa is situated in the heart of Orlando, Florida. This beautiful, luxury resort is less than 10 minutes away from Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. This resort is a Stay Sky and Walt Disney World Good Neighbor hotel. Best of all, it is a certified Florida Green Lodging hotel. The Florida Green Lodging certification program is an initiative of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Facilities and buildings who receive the Florida Green Lodging certification strive to commit to conserve Florida’s natural resources. Facilities must demonstrate green best practices such as the usage of high efficiency lighting (CFLs), green cleaning products, water and energy conservation, waste reduction, and recycling.
It was an absolute delight to be accomodated in Lake Buena Vista Resort’s ‘Barbados’ three bedroom – two bath suite, sized at over 1,250 sq. ft. The luxury suite was gorgeous and even had a private dining area, and a fully stocked kitchen! This suite is perfect for groups or families! The suite featured granite countertops, a master bedroom with an oversized jetted tub, and an outside private balcony decked out with a table and chairs.









The hotel grounds were well manicured and immaculately clean. Depending on the building that you stay in, you’ll pass through the lush, green, picturesque outdoor area in order to make your way to the giant sized pool. You’ll be reminded of pirates and tropical delightfulness when you see the immense pirate ship sitting on top of the pool. It’s truly more than a sight to see!





One of the best parts about staying at Lake Buena Vista’s Resort Village and Spa is (you guessed it)---THE SPA! Reflections Spa Salon is located in Building 4 on the sixth floor. The founder really had health and wellness in mind when they designed this resort hotel. When I stepped out of the elevator to enter Reflections Spa, I was offered the entire spa experience.

The Reflections Spa Salon environment had everything that one would need in a spa—tranquility, stillness and serenity. They offer a range of treatments and I was happy to learn that natural skincare products and brands are utilized. The aesthetician who worked on me was really knowledgeable and offered great advice tailored for my skin. This review wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t mention their sugar scrub. WARNING: It is just D-I-V-I-N-E and it’ll leave your skin extremely soft and moisturized.





Oh, and for any shopping lovers out there, factory outlet stores are literally just a few steps away from the resort.

If you desire a real green, relaxing escape when traveling to the Orlando area, booking this resort hotel would be an excellent idea and choice! You’ll be glad that you did!

Leave the Sea Turtles Alone: Nine Die from Consuming Marine Turtle Meat

Image
Nine individuals passed away from consumption of endangered marine turtles in Pemba Island, Zanzibar last month.  A total of eight children and one adult died due to chelonitoxism or food poisoning from the contaminated turtle meat.  Death from chelonitoxication is thought to be a rare happening and is mostly associated with consuming marine turtles such as Green sea turtle, Hawksbill turtle, Olive Ridley and Leatherback turtles.    Consumption of sea turtles is considered a delicacy in remote places and African countries such as Tanzania and Madagascar, French Polynesia and Indo-Pacific regions.  The sea meat is usually consumed at celebratory gatherings.  The individuals who cook and consume marine turtles are unable to decipher if the meat is toxic because the marine turtles appear healthy and do not display any symptoms.  The chelonitoxins cannot be destroyed through heat or cooking.  The chelonitoxism that occurs in marine turtles are due to environmental factors which may include

Apple premiered their yearly Apple Event introducing the new Apple Series 9 Apple Watch and the iPhone 15 standard, plus and pro models.  During the event, a commercial was premiered featuring Octavia Spencer, Tim Cook (CEO of Apple), Lisa Jackson (VP of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives.  This funny commercial saw Octavia present herself as “Mother Nature,” a stern yet comical corporate responsibility officer.  Before Octavia entered the scene, all the officers and workers at the meeting were shuffling around looking nervous and anxious while drinks shook on the table.   We even saw Tim Cook rehearsing the lines that he would repeat to Mother Nature when she entered.   After Mother Nature arrives, Tim Cook, asks her “how was the weather getting in?” Mother Nature then says, “the weather was however I wanted it to be!”   Mother nature reminds Mr. Cook of his promise in 2020—which is to bring Apple’s carbon footprint to zero by 2030. As the commercial ensued, the viewer learns
