Shop For MORE-A Green Option for a Close Shave

/ / 9 Comments
Friends, I don’t have a perfect lifestyle and while I try to incorporate as much ethical shopping as I can there is definitely so much I still need to do! Which is why I really love Annabella’s approach (post here): start one item at a time! So I get back from vacation and open my luggage to find the Gillette Venus Razor I’ve had for years broken in half. I was about to go to CVS to buy a new… View Post

Sunny Days…

Hi friends. Most of you know that I live in NYC and with that fact I thought it would be hugely remiss to not mention hurricane Irene. Especially since watching the news and fleeing my apartment on the East River were the activities of my weekend. I can not tell you how hugely relieved I am that Irene dwindled down to a tropical storm that blew past NY with a lot of wind and a lot of rain but not… View Post

Smile File-Office Space

So I’ve just got back from vacation and it’s not easy returning to work, but maaaaaybe if I worked on a pirate ship like the folks at Davison’s Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania offices it would make the return a little easier. Or maybe a desk that felt like you were lounging around the porch? That would be nice :). Davison launches over 2,500 inventions each year produced by its 250 staff working in this fantastic 75,000 square feet office space. (source) I… View Post

Hi Friends! I know I’ve been so absent but I’ve had a busy week and long work days after coming back from vacay. Le sigh, I miss being lazy! Honestly my head is still in the palm trees :). The bf and I went to Miami for a few days just to get away from our lives for a bit. South Beach and Miami is synonymous with party-town U.S.A but this is NOT us and really was not the vacay… View Post

I did a post on Steph’s blog The Loudmouth Lifestyle on some practical ethical accessories for my bestest friend…my laptop. Friends! Please don’t judge me!!!

Le sigh, I know it’s a shame!!! Since I’ve started blogging my laptop has been an essential travel companion, so… View Post

I know I’ve told you how much I love love love living in Manhattan and as a forewarning this will probably not be the last time I do a little ode to my home. But I just finished reading Patti Smith’s memoir Just Kids and all I could think of for Kristy Eléna’s call of inspiration for this month’s FTF Event is the place I call home, NYC. As I was reading Just Kids I kept thinking of New York… View Post

Meet Jinky!!! This little baby is my BF’s niece. I’m sure you have really cute babies in your life but I’m sorry I think Jinky takes the cake! Her faces are just the best! She was born really really premature (fit in your hand tiny) and because of this she had a hard time speaking and so developed the all-time best expressions! This pic is soooo my favorite. To me she looks like Squash from Plants v.s. Zombies! Both Jinky… View Post
