I have always wanted to check out the Hollywood Farmer's Market, but I could never get myself out of bed before 9AM on a Sunday morning. This weekend, I woke up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and made my way to market with list in hand. When I got there, I really wondered why I hadn't taken advantage of the abundance fresh fruits and veggies [all pesticide free] at those phenomenal prices a bit sooner.
All of the bundled herbs were ONE DOLLAR! Funny because I just bought a tiny little package of "fresh" herbs from Ralph's for $3.99 [and it wilted a day later]. And since we are on the subject of produce going bad less than 24 hours after purchase, did you know that some items are treated and coated to give a "fresh" appearance? As if pesticide laden produce wasn't enough of a deterrent, I now have to worry that it isn't as "fresh" as it appears.Check out this article titled Farmer's Market vs. Supermarket.
Meat and eggs were also on my list. Since I can't bring myself to go vegan, I want to purchase eggs from chickens that are cage-free, and meat from free range animals [supporting local farmers is also a plus]. The prices for poultry and eggs were also surprisingly affordable [a little higher than grocery store prices].
I did my hair in 8 big braids, and left them in for a day. Nothing spectacular, I have been fighting a cold for the past few days, so I didn't want to spend much time fussing over my hair.
The weather was also surprisingly warm, and I must have missed the memo because I dressed in layers and grabbed my warm sweater on the way out-the-door. I wasn't wearing anything spectacular; a dress I picked up from Zara, some Forever 21 ripped skinny's, my $1 clutch [score], and those Michael Kors shoes. My sweater was also from Forever.
I picked up some fresh Orange Honey too! I think I will try it with my Earl Grey to see how it fairs.
They had flowers at stellar prices, so I picked up a bouquet [the flowers I am holding in the 1rst pic only cost me a whopping $6 dollars].
