What is a Unique L.A. Lumberjack? It's SWELL SIP for the fan of Timber!, the adventurist packing their rucksack for a Joshua Tree getaway, or perhaps just the soul in need of serious swill to toast to the start of a weekend. Whatever your story, let's thank Jenna Sais Quois for giving us one hardy drink that will surely bring out the rugged in you. Down the hatch!

YDT: Indie Grocery Guide

I took a break from Monkey in LA for a bit to put on my shopping/research/eco-writing hat for one of my favorite websites, Your Daily Thread. The result was the Indie Grocery Guide! Sadly, I won't be drinking Honest Tea anymore, but luckily, I can still stuff myself with Newman-O's. Hope you enjoy!

Monkey Find: Your Daily Thread

What do you get when you take two global-minded Angelenos, cross them with a social conscious and a sense of style, and add a bit of curiosity? Your Daily Thread-a Los Angeles city guide with an eco-friendly heart and countless ideas for how to have fun while keeping it green. YDT's creators (and best buds), Lauren Johanson and Tracy Hepler, have sought out things to do, buy and see in this great town that are all geared towards sustainable living. In fact, they sought out Monkey so this is more like a YDT Find!

Make sure to check out YDT daily. You'll find interesting articles, like this one on green event spaces Marvimon and SmogShoppe, and the 2009 Environmental Media Awards, plus the ever-handy Neighborhood Green Guide which currently covers all things green and good in Echo Park, Silverlake, Los Feliz and Atwater Village including:
