DIY: New Year’s Eve crackers easy as 1, 2, 3!

whatcha need:

1. To make the actual crackers you will need toilet paper rolls, cloth napkins and elastics.

2. Inside your crackers (and since Paige is in Mexico she used): firecrackers, beaded doll necklaces, tequila chocolates, friendship bracelets, luchador stickers, temporary tattoos, and you can write your own fortunes. You will also need construction paper, scissors and tape to make crowns.

3. Throw it all together and bam you have napkins, crackers and treats for NYE!

ChocoSol Traders is about “community, social enterprise, and traditional methods.”

On Wednesday we were invited to spend the day wrapping chocolates at and learning about the sustainable and slow philosophy. 

The proprietor Michael first learned about the qualities of various native cacao beans and traditional processes of grinding and preparation while in Mexico. ChocoSol uses those same methods, including stone-grinding its fair trade beans and also harnessing pedal-power.

ChocoSol’s chocolate bars and hot chocolate are available to purchase direct from their kitchen, from local farmer’s markets and on Dec 8-11th at our L O C O for L O C A L (holiday pop up shop) at Naco Gallery.

The team at ChocoSol tries to be as environmentally friendly as possible, all of their packaging is 100% biodegradable and they are striving to create the greenest kitchen in the city. They are attempting to create a zero-waste kitchen which also produces other products such as tortillas and other baked goods.

Día de los Muertos is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and around the world in many cultures. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died.

The Day of the Dead celebrations in Mexico can be traced back to the indigenous cultures. Rituals celebrating the deaths of ancestors have been observed by these civilizations perhaps for as long as 2,500–3,000 years. In the pre-Hispanic era, it was common to keep skulls as trophies and display them during the rituals to symbolize death and rebirth.

Coco Nogales - InnerViews

Puerto Escondido legend Carlos “Coco” Nogales shares his insights on the wave that has been a key component for his a career in professional surfing. After rising from being a street kid in Oaxaca into the forefront of Mexican surfing, Coco has found a way to give back by developing the Coco Nogales Surf Challenge. The contest helps to support local surfers and expose underprivileged children to the sport, possibly fostering the next generation of Puerto Escondido surfer stars.
