Jonathan Franzen, author of The Corrections and overall literary bigwig, took to the latest issue of The New Yorker to discuss the illegal hunting of songbirds in southern Europe. If you’re like me, you’re cocking your head to one side and thinking, “People eat songbirds?” Apparently in places like Cyprus, Malta and Italy songbirds like [...]

When I run out of a shampoo and conditioner, I rarely buy the same brand again. I believe in that whole, “Your hair needs a change” school of thinking. I do go back to former brands if I liked them after giving my hair that break. I just tried a new shampoo and conditioner and [...]

When I first met the man who was going to be my husband and I told him I didn’t eat meat, his response was, “Oh, you’re one of those.” What did he mean by that? He meant that he thought I was one of those angry animal rights activists. The kind that lectures you, judges [...]

My husband and I have been talking a lot about happiness. How do you get it? How do you maintain it? There are countless self help books out there just on the topic of happiness. Bad things happen. Even the small bad things can be enough to ruin a day. I wish I didn’t let [...]

If you’re anything like me, you live in your jeans. You worship them. For their fit, their comfort and their ability to dress up and dress down depending on what else you’re wearing. I still have jeans from high school and college. I also spend endless amounts of time in thrift stores searching for my [...]

Why? Because the locals thought that the goose population’s numbers were too high and that there was too much goose poo on the ground. They loaded the Canada Geese into garbage can sized containers and then gassed them. Locals are having a memorial service for the geese at the park to mourn the loss of [...]

Just over a week ago I was notified that I won a mi-bra by Girl Habits from the website Bird Fight (an awesome eco friendly women’s fashion site). Check it out! I live in sports bras. I find them to be more comfortable than wired bras and more supportive. (Not that I’m overflowing with tissue [...]

On July 4th I had the pleasure of hanging out with Leanne Mai-Ly Hilgart, the fabulous mind and soul behind Vaute Couture. We were talking about her designs and I couldn’t help but fawn over her line of tees. I have the “For the love of dog, adopt!” tee and have been waiting to buy [...]
