Every once in a while, I like to write a completely selfish post. What am I talking about they're all selfish posts. Mememememememe. #metime. Now listen to me while I tell you my resolutions. – read before going to bed. Instead of, you know, checking Facebook/Instagram/Twitter/Pinterest, watching Hulu/Netflix, sitting in front of a screen.…

Let's pretend 2012 is over, which let's face it, since we're all on senior slide this time of the year, it effectively is. There's too many goodies at the office/home, 12 more parties to attend, shopping to finish, and a general giddiness that make doing anything productive rather unappealing right now. Tomorrow I'll bore you…

A bunch of weeks ago, I decided to make like envy and get green: start composting, stop buying stuff with excess packaging, etc. Despite a few setbacks, I'm glad to say I'm seeing some major improvements. My indoor and outdoor compost bins are getting a workout. I fill up my little kitchen bucket almost every…

– the culmination of a lifetime of learning. A freaking epiphany after years and years of practice and education. A beautiful "light bulb" (or "gloeilamp", I suppose) moment that is going to change my life. Not to overstate it or anything. – realization that I have no stomach muscles whatsoever. It turns out…

– Book Club. The ladies' version, not the online version. ***SPOILER ALERT [SORT OF]*** I had about 10 pages left of the book, and apparently, a lot happens in those 10 pages. AND apparently, in the newer versions of the book, there's an epilogue or something, because I finished that book 2 hours ago and…

Since around half of the nation is super-ticked off this morning and about 100% of us are hungover on politics and election results, here is my antidote: First up, we have the "mattress for cuddly couples", aptly named the Love Mattress. you weirdos Does anyone else have the ear suction problem when putting…

Since today is voting day, let's talk about garbage. Last week, I mentioned how food (mostly its packaging) was the biggest speed bump in my journey to save the earth. But I've come up with some awesome news for me. And you. Whatev. First, I happened to buy some Bear Naked granola a couple weeks ago.…

– the cutest and most thoughtful gift from a friend (and reader): personalized frames for each of the little ladies. [insert imagined picture here, for anonymity's sake HAHAHAHA! but seriously] – dang, a lot of people are awake and in their cars at 7am. Is that what you all do? How do you stay awake…
