Follow Your Bliss with “Feisengrad”
By Nancy Chuda, Co-Founder of LuxEcoLiving.com and Healthy Child Healthy World
Review of "Feisengrad " by Aaron Richard Golub
In a world gone mad with political idiosyncrasies, lies, corruption and deceitful ways and means.... enter the "hatch" and birth of Feisengrad.
A not so homely "Catcher In The Rye Bread," by Aaron Richard Golub. No Cliff Notes needed unless you want an Umpire in The Z to strike you Out.
Golub makes perfect sense of today's publishing world which why he chose Amazon's CreateSpace self-publishing platform. And he just may get The Golden Carrot Award

Trying on Zero Waste Fashion
By Jessica Borges, LuxEco Living Editorial Assistant
Fashion design is an art, and just like other art forms such as writing, cooking, and painting, you need to scrap the first drafts and unruly pieces before producing your masterpiece. But with these scraps come a never-ending contribution to landfills and further pollution to our environment. This awareness has fueled designers in the fashion industry to attempt “zero waste fashion.”
