Introducing Modern Hippie Mag

Modern Hippie Mag is a one-stop resource for the, well, modern hippie. Not that “drug-using, tie-dye wearing, jobless flower child stereotype,” as MHM puts it. No, the modern hippie is too concerned about organic clothing and knowing what’s in food or how lumber was harvested to care much about a far-out, drug-induced state.

Modern Hippie Mag focuses on no singular aspect of environmentally conscious living. It is a collaboration of many different voices covering the gamut of eco-friendly topics, including entertainment, do-it-yourself projects, clothing, food, fair trade, beauty, health and wellness. Modern Hippie Mag professes no political agenda. Rather, it sees green living as an apolitical choice, simply because it is the right choice. For there is no downside to going green for anyone. No downside to breathing clean air. No downside to drinking clean water or eating chemical-free foods or beauty products. Such things benefit all. And that is the hope behind Modern Hippie as it strives to “educate, to share a global camaraderie, shun conformity, and embrace individuality” all at the same time.

But before the collaborative of individual voices that Modern Hippie Mag has become today, there was a creator. One woman who wanted to modernize and un-stigmatize the hippie persona. She is Jaszy McAllister, the founder, publisher, editor of Modern Hippie Mag, and the interviewee in MHM’s first ever podcast. In it she talks about her motivations and inspirations for her first blogging experience, which, in just over a year, has grown to be what Modern Hippie Mag is today. So, without further verbosity, I’ll let Jaszy do the talking…
