Something Yummy from Tread Light Gifts

Written on May 28, 2009. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

I seem to be a very lucky girl, lately: when Tread Light Gifts did a Twitter trivia giveaway last week, my fingers were fast enough to win me some super gourmet 479 Organic Popcorn.  The popcorn is featured in two of Tread Light’s gift baskets – the Super Green Snacker Kit and The Ultimate Happy [...]

What About Wednesday?

Written on May 27, 2009. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

Once a week I ask the same bleary-eyed question: “What about Wednesday?” It’s my day to post whatever the hell I feel like, with no regard to fashion, eco-consciousness or, occasionally, even coherent thoughts.

This is new dress has officially become my “go anywhere” outfit.  As a purchase from Bluefly.com it’s not nearly green enough for my [...]

Stated Simply: A Post About Soap!

Written on May 26, 2009. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

Last week I mentioned that I’ve been having weird soap cravings but didn’t have enough soap-friendly space to line up all of the scents that make me swoon.  (Being a Gemini, that’s a lot of scents.)  Lo and behold: this weekend Boyfriend and I bought a brand new shower caddy!  Now I have tons of [...]

We Interrupt Our Regularly-Scheduled Programming…

Written on May 25, 2009. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

…because it’s my birthday!

Okay, my birthday is actually this Saturday (May 30) but I’ve been super busy trying to set up my own birthday plans, as well as celebrate the other gazillion May birthdays that surround me.  (I guess I prefer Tauruses and Geminis?)  For the past few days, blogging has taken a back gift-buying, [...]

Reason to Tweet: Giveaways!

Written on May 18, 2009. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

Upon arriving home from work today, I noticed a package at my door: it was my spoils from a Twitter giveaway hosted by Caffé Vita: a free bag of their freshly roasted organic Sumatra blend!

One of the many reasons to use Twitter is to connect with like-minded individuals quickly and easily, using a diffused process [...]

An Instant Classic: Black & White

Written on May 18, 2009. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

I’ve always loved how clean-looking and classic the combination of pure black and white is.  Being that I rent an old (read: dusty) house and own a big (read: furry) dog, I tend to shy away from anything elaborate, but these Etsy finds are just the thing to add a bold statement -with a modern [...]

To Be a Kid Again

Written on May 15, 2009. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

Lately, I’ve noticed a trend throughout the blog-verse.  In private journals, public blogs and even everyday tweets, people have been using a couple of unsettling keywords: disconnected, nervous, lost, and my favorite, floating in the abyss.
Of course, we can pretty easily attribute this to our failing world economy, rising crime due to lower wages, and even the [...]
