Tempo meals is a weekly food delivery service that offers flavorful protein centered meals in the quantity of your choosing.  If you’ve been rocking with the Green News Guide then you might have read previous reviews about other food delivery services such as Cook Unity, Mosaic or Gobble.  Tempo was originally launched by Home Chef in October of 2023.  I found their meal selection process to be super easy and the website was very user friendly.  Customers can select the subscription of their choice based on the number of meals desired on a weekly basis. One can opt for a quantity of 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 or 16 meals per week at $11 per serving.   Ordering & Delivery process Tempo’s meals usually feature a protein (beef, chicken, fish, shrimp) that is usually paired with a vegetable medley.  There is also the choice to select from “premium” meal options that are about $3-$5 additional per serving.  One con that I noticed about Tempo is that there...

Green Sculptural Art by Daniel Popper

Daniel Popper is a South African artist who incorporates the physical surroundings into his sculpture creations. Popper’s latest installation was created during the pandemic and is called “Thrive.” The monumental sculpture is located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida at the Society Las Olas building.





This permanent public installation incorporates natural elements such as concrete, fiber, glass and greenery. The 30 foot tall sculpture features a feminine figure carefully revealing an open interior. The viewer can physically walk through the fern covered interior with its tunnel style appearance.





Popper created “Thrive” to be an inspiration of hope and transformation; a year where many were forced to find ways of thriving in the midst of turmoil and loss. The installation is very awe inspiring and the interpretations one can receive are numerous. The plants represent new life and the concrete represents the hardness of life. The juxtaposition between the concrete and the greenery can be interpreted as follows:

Life and opportunities are still there to be unfolded though the turn of events may seem hard. as for The second message: “Don’t judge a book by its cover. Inside a cold hard exterior could lie a peaceful, tranquil, beautiful soul.

This sculpture can be considered to fall under the classification as “Green Art” for its use of natural earth elements. Gigantic in size and weighing over 14 tons, it allows the viewer to ponder, interact with and fully embrace their natural surroundings. When asked about the installation and how he thinks it will connect to people, Popper had this to say: “I hope they will continue to interact with it and enjoy it and that the message and feeling continues for many years to come.”

Fenty Sidestick Is it All that?

Image
The Fenty Side Stick is a 3 in 1 edge styling tool.  It was mentioned in a comprehensive review  of Rihanna's hair line, however, I hadn't yet purchased it.  I wanted to briefly compare The Side Stick to the type of edge brushes that are found in your average beauty store.  The Side Stick arrived in a light orange box with the signature Fenty packaging and logo. On the back of the box, is a photo of the Side Stick.  The photo on the back of the packaging is almost the same length as the Side Stick so the user can get a sense of the actual length of the product.  When it is taken out of the package, the end piece needed to be snapped on. It's a nice rose chrome colored tail which makes for precise parting and creation of swooped styles.  If any of you ladies love your 90s Aaliyah style swooped bangs, the Side Stick is going to get you right every time! It has a duo brush and comb head instead of being at opposite ends like an average edge brush and com...

First Ethical Diamond Made from Agave

1800 Tequila is a spirit brand that has managed to create a diamond made from Mexican tequila. Their tequila is made in Tequila, Mexico using a traditional distillation process extracted from blue Weber agave. 1800 Tequila is known for its flavored tequilas such as coconut and a ñejo , an expression with rich butterscotch and vanilla notes. 1800 Tequila has diverged from their usual route of tequila production to enter the luxury jewelry scene. The unique 5.5 carat diamond was unveiled at this year’s Met Gala whose theme was centered around the Black Dandy expressionist form. The diamond was crafted into a brooch designed by Jonathan Raksha and was worn by actress and vocalist, Janelle Monae. There was no other deserving person to wear this masterpiece as Monae has been somewhat of a new school pioneer of Dandy expressionism.   The diamond was flanked in white gold within an inverted setting surrounded by smaller diamonds and also white sapphires. 1800 Tequila is always pushin...
