To my "green" readers: Essensia Restaurant & Lounge, AVEDA and the Everglades Foundation are hosting "Bubbles & Beats" at The Palms Hotel & Spa to celebrate Earth Day"s 40th anniversary on Thursday, April 22nd from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. At the event, guests can enjoy complimentary organic cocktails, mini spa services (neck and shoulder massages) by The Palm Spa and a trunk show with eco-friendly products. The Everglades Foundation will be providing information on how you can protect Florida"s water and environment. Throughout the night, you can donate $5 to support the organization"s ongoing efforts to protect and restore the Everglade"s Ecosystem. For my music lovers: unwind to a live performance by Agape featuring Nadia Harris, a local Miami band known for their eclectic sounds including funk, Brazilian percussion and Latin soul.
