The Bite:
imageBeverly Center shopping crawl leave you blurry-eyed? Next time, focus on Visionary, a new one-stop eco lifestylish store. Rocker-mom Magda Rod stocks its reclaimed-wood shelves with items that support her vision of the world, from nature-inspired, earth-friendly home furnishings to locally made, organic clothing - including her own apparel line Wildchild Wear (a celeb fave). For kids: sustainable-bamboo baby onesies; nontoxic, biodegradable toys; and hip tees fashioned from vintage rock-'n'-roll shirts. For you: summery Linda Loudermilk cellulose tops; phthalate-free Rich Hippie perfume; and fair-trade, handcrafted jewelry (we have our eye on the charm necklaces with a blank scroll inside an amulet for writing a wish). Come by tomorrow to shop, then stay for its launch party. Outta sight.
Wanna Try: 
Visionary Boutique Launch Party; May 21, 7-10 p.m.; Visionary 8568 1/2 Melrose Ave. b/t Westbourne and Westmount Drs., WeHo (310-659-1177). RSVP to rsvpvisionary@gmail.com.

Cocktail Fact

A 250-yard suspension bridge in China rests entirely on cables made from bamboo (the fastest-growing and strongest woody plant on earth), without a single nail or piece of iron.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 LA Baby Biters wear an organic cotton romper instead of one made from conventional cotton, we'll keep the weight of over 2,600 bags of frozen peas out of the environment and off kids' bods.
