With the help of my wonderful Green Smoothie Team, we’re hoping to add a little green to Cupid’s wings this week.  You know you’re on a greener path when you’re more excited to eat flowers than get them for Valentine’s Day.  And here to make February 14th a little more verdant is the lovely Kate Nicholson.  We hope you’ll follow along with her suggestions and find ways to avoid the slings and arrows of love’s outrageous fortune.

Single and dreading Valentine’s day?
