Reporting from Silicon Alley with vim & vigor

Startup Candy | MISSION.tv

Silicon Alley is truly a startup ecosystem that never sleeps. I first entered the New York’s rising tech scene while I was still in High School. I’ve met a lot of entrepreneurs along the way and the ones that are still around are extremely passionate. Passion is my fuel that pushes me forward when life gets tough.

I joined MISSION.tv back in December 2011. I worked with pleasure around the clock and it’s been an incredible journey so far. I thrive in fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments and just love building early stage, lean startups.

Today is May Day and official launch of MISSION.tv! MISSION.tv is a digital platform about making a difference in the world. We are a dynamic website of global humanitarian and travel videos, articles and photography. We are a social network, a collaborative community of activists, travelers and creative contributors, all of us humanitarians.

Eco-Friendly Fashion

A few years ago I had a pleasure of producing and styling a shoot with Summer Rayne Oaks, an Eco-friendly model, environmental expert, host and board adviser for the Discovery Channel’s Planet Green Eco-lifestyle.

I selected a dress by a New York designer Gina Michele and Summer ended up using the dress in a commercial for the Discovery Channel’s Planet Green.

Most people are under the impression that Eco-friendly lifestyle is not cost-effective. On the contrary, you can find many affordable and environmentally friendly brands.

Sustainable shoes for under $30?

In April 2009, visit your local Payless store and check out Summer Rayne Oaks line Zoe & Zac.

The line, complete with jewlery and handbags, will offer colorful alternatives to “muted” green color schemes and includes pinks and purples.

Non-toxic make up good for you and the planet?

Thanks to the model Josie Maran you too can look pure & hot.

The Josie Maran Cosmetics look is healthy, natural and vibrant. It’s about enhancing, not covering. It’s about youthful, glowing skin that is environmentally friendly.
