In particular I like GT’s Kombucha because it’s tart, fizzy and a healthy alternative to diet soda (which I also love, but doesn’t love me back). Unfortunately I can only buy it at my local Whole Foods and the convenience store on the bottom floor of my office building. While [...]

As you may know from previous posts I jumped on the iPhone bandwagon, and I’m glad that I did. I’ve found a lot of really useful, fun and entertaining apps, but my current favorite is Mark Bittman’s [...]

I was excited to receive an email telling me that The Story of Stuff has been made into a book and is now on sale. However, I then faced the moral conundrum that I was going to be buying more stuff and killing more trees. I was [...]

The title appealed to me because my family isn’t fully vegetarian, but we do eat mostly vegetarian meals. By that I mean, that I cook vegetarian/vegan options on [...]

I was familiar with some of these already, but some are new to me and I [...]

I do have a tendency to get unmotivated working out on my own, so I searched for classes in my area again. Close to my home is http://www.bikramyogahampden.com/ which looked interesting and has classes at hours that are convenience for me [...]

I also wear eye make-up 7 days a week, which when combined unfortunately leaves a colorful mash-up on my face. I had been eyeballing these RSVP Onion Goggles at Amazon for some time, but as I already [...]

It’s the most comfortable fabric that I can think of and everyone looks good in a t-shirt.  We get so many freebies, and buy so many that remind us of places we’ve visited, bands we’ve seen, and other great [...]

While I did see some immediate improvement from cystic acne and my skin tone became more even and the texture of my skin softer I was never completely rid of small white heads and clogged pores.  Over time [...]
