Siel Ju, also known as "Green LA Girl," is a local star thanks to her blog about "urban eco living"--we're fans because many of her tips are good for the earth and good for us, too. She revealed her healthy weekend:
-
Just bean organic. "I love 18th St. Coffee House: they serve [organic, fair trade] Groundwork coffee. It's a no-cellphone zone, so if that kind of thing drives you nuts, you can stay for hours." 1725 Broadway, Santa Monica, (310) 264-0662, MAP
-
Marketing. "Saturdays, I go to the Santa Monica Farmers' Market on Arizona, at 1PM right before they close--sometimes, you can get really great deals. Also, you can get fresh California olives that taste nothing like the canned stuff." Arizona Ave. & 3rd. St., MAP

Seizing this opportunity. "Co-Opportunity has anything a health food junkie would want, including grab-and-go food from all the healthy restaurants around. Plus it's a co-op, so by becoming a member, you're a part-owner, and at the end of [a profitable] year, you get a check." 1525 Broadway, Santa Monica, (310) 451-8902, MAP
-
Doing retail therapy. "Great Labels is a consignment store. You get to indulge in high fashion, but you're getting everything pre-loved, so it's still eco-friendly, and it's good for your wallet." Favorite recent find: a Marc Jacobs jacket. 1126 Wilshire Blvd., Santa Monica, (310) 451-2277, MAP
We're green with envy.
