I was completely surprised a few weeks ago when I received an email from Bruce Boyers, editor at Organic Connections Magazine, informing me that the publisher wanted to do a web-exclusive interview on me…my business…GreenChic. Imagine that!!! Of course I didn’t hesitate to reply with an enthusiastic “OF COURSE!”, and a few days later we had said interview.
Here are a few excerpts from the piece:

It’s also made far simpler by folks such as Jennifer Spaide and her GreenChic website.
The term Green Chic just kind of popped into her head one afternoon. “I thought it was perfect; it defines exactly what I’m trying to educate people on—green being healthy, organic and sustainable, and chic being hip, fun and not boring or tedious.”
“One of the key concepts of my business is getting people to understand that being healthy, eating healthy and living healthy, being green and sustainable, doesn’t have to be crunchy or boring or time consuming,” Jennifer concluded. “Those are all misconceptions. You can eat healthy and you can do it on a budget and you can do it quickly. I think it’s just a matter of getting people to redefine their thinking around it.

Many thanks to Bruce and Organic Connections!
