Maybe it's because I grew up in Boulder, Colorado -- home to as many generations of hippies as there are. Maybe it's because I moved to Los Angeles. Or maybe it's just somewhere in my blood. But for whatever reason, even though I cringe at dreadlocks and send bad vibes towards the spiritual healer that works in my building, I still engage in some pretty inexplicable hippie-ish behavior. You probably do too.

I Buy the Peanut Butter You Have to Stir

I don’t know why. I know that it’s better for you, but I don’t like it nearly as much and it takes up precious fridge space. Even worse, it’s the unsalted kind. Why do I even bother?

I Warn People About Mercury Poisoning

I tell them about the online calculators for how much tuna you can safely eat in a week and how even the EPA will tell you about it . Are my friends really putting themselves in danger? Probably not, but for some reason I can’t shut my stupid hippie mouth.

I wash my hair "sometimes"

You know…to “conserve water” and give the “natural oils a chance to do their work”. Also, to save money on shampoo and conditioner. Anyway, who’s got that kind of time on the regular? If you have thick hair, you know you know what I mean. O’natural, kids. That’s the ticket.

I'd Rather Go Comando

I’d rather just “free ball it” if you will, than wear uncomfortable underwear and bras. Makeup doesn’t like my face, and I get angry at people with money. Hippie mentality? TOTALLY!

Wasteful User of Napkins and Paper Towels

I cringe every time I see someone grab 5 napkins or pull 5 paper towels out of the restroom dispenser.

All but one of the napkins end up in the trash and the most of the paper towels don’t even get water on them, come on people!

I will use unused napkins and only use one paper towel. My hands get just as clean and just as dry. At home if I have to use paper towels I tear them in half or sometimes quarters.

I Celebrated WInter Solstice

Winter - Kromme Rijn, Amelisweerd, Rhijnauwen, Utrecht

When I was in high school I decided that I didn’t care about Jesus so what was the point of celebrating his birthday and declared to my parents that I would be celebrating winter solstice that year. Unfortunately they called my bluff and actually made me go to a Winter Solstice celebration. It was worse than church because it was all hippies and I didn’t know any of the songs

I always carry reusable grocery bags

Flip and Tumbles are my favorite because they easily fit right into my purse. Not to mention, they come in bright colors and are kind of cute and fun looking. And it’s so much easier to carry groceries over my shoulder. Can’t go wrong!

Sans deodorant

I gave up wearing deodorant years ago, and I kind of think that it’s a marketing ploy! Is this hippie, or what?

If you eat whole foods and not a ton of meat, if you workout and bathe regularly, you probably don’t need the stuff! I have made people smell test me and, really, I don’t smell.

You’re welcome for the picture.
