Dudettes, check it. Keeping ones karma in line is super important, and one of the best ways to do that is to maintain a healthy, well balanced, all natural diet. But like most of us, my sweet tooth needs to be appeased!

So I jumped into my hybrid powered Solar Wagon and traveled the universe in an effort to find healthy treats that would satisfy mind, body, soul, and my need for chocolate. And during my trip out, I found exactly what I was looking for on Earth at a chill little place called Vela Delight.

Vela Delight specializes in cookies, candies, pastry, cupcakes, and even more cupcakes- oh my! And they can be made to have 0% TransFat, 0% Sodium, Sugar-Free, Gluten-Free, and even more amazing- they can make’ em VEGAN! Both yin and yang will be happy tonight.

An even bigger mind-blower is that these karma friendly treats are made by a 14 year old pastry chef and entrepreneur, Daijuna Corin. Daijuna began her culinary studies at age 9 by adding spices and homemade extracts to pre-packaged cake mixes to help bolster their flavor. In the years following, she started developing her own recipes in a tiny kitchen in her parent’s pad, and in 2008, with the help of family and friends, Daijuna started the internet-based cupcake company- Vila Delight Pasteries.

As if these super-psychedelic accomplishments weren’t enough, Daijuna is also a savvy, soul conscious philanthropist! After her brother was diagnosed with a rare kidney disease, Daijuna made tasty cookie recipes that were low in sodium for her brother to enjoy. Expanding on her brain-child, Daijuna created Cookies for Kidneys to encourage more research, awareness, and treatment for FSGS.

For more info, check out Vila Delight Pasteries website and find out how you can get your hands on some tasty treats made with 100% love and good karma. They can ship overnight all across the United States and Canada. Too bad they can’t make deliveries to Jupiter… yet.

Peace Out,

*does not include shipping and handling.

Dudes.  I’m afraid today’s post isn’t as groovy as usual.  You see, no matter how responsible and loving a pet owner may be (or in my case, rescuer and cosmic soul mate,) once in a while one of our animal buds will split and go astray. It happens to the best of us and now it has happened to me!!!

Apparently some of your way out scientists on earth have noticed.

The brown cloudy band, known as the South Equatorial Belt, or SEB, started fading late last year, NASA said in a story on its website.

“But I certainly didn’t expect to see it completely disappear,” said amateur astronomer Anthony Wesley of Australia. “Jupiter continues to surprise.”

Orton says the belt may not be gone, just hidden under higher clouds.

“It’s possible,” he said on the NASA website, “that some ‘ammonia cirrus’ has formed on top of the SEB, hiding the SEB from view.”

On Earth, NASA says, white wispy cirrus clouds are made of ice crystals. On Jupiter, the same sort of clouds can form, but the crystals are made of ammonia instead of water.

On Earth, SEB is short for the Southern Equatorial Belt. It is construed as a large a cloud belt that covers the southern hemisphere of my pad.

FYI scientists on Earth, SEB is in fact, my beloved Bernese Mountain dog, Samuel Edward Barkington III.  SEB, or SEBBY for short.  He’s just too darn smart and has once again escaped from my lower hemisphere!!

I am worried.

Now the dudes at NASA are trying calm me down, pointing out that SEB is a wayward pet who always manages to go missing, but has always returned. They’re also tellin’ me to hang loose as they will be on constant watch until SEBBY comes back. And though they’re trying to get me to chillax, this chill pill ain’t going down easy, man. How am I supposed to meditate when SEBBY’s out there in the galaxy all alone, cold and hungry and wanting for some patented Jupiter belly rubs?

For all you space explorers out there, if you come across SEBBY, lure him to you with some Comet Tails (his favorite treat) and send me an emergency transmission.  In the meantime, for more info on SEB,please click here and dig this article from CNN.

Peace Out,

Jupiter
