Is It Over Yet?
What a season! I’ve survived four – yes, four – Christmases this year: the first at home with friends, the second at my mother’s, the third at my boyfriend’s parents’ house, and the fourth with my dad. Yes, I am just that crazy. My sister and me. She’s majoring in wildlife conservation. Amazing, right? (Apparently, [...]

Beautiful, Dirty, Rich
You know what I’m really, really into right now? Things that don’t go together. Not in the “stripes and plaid” way – or the “eighties and anything else please stop with the eighties” way…more in the “casually glamorous” way. It’s about being feminine and pretty, but still tough enough to get grit under your nails: [...]

What About Wednesday: A Question or Two
[[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.]] Why do you shop sustainably? Be honest! I know that there have been times in my life when I’ve only purchased [...]

Wednesday’s Sustainable Sales
Today’s sales, hosted by Gilt and Gilt Fuse (my favorite family of sample sale sites), features Archipelago Candles & Diffusers and Nugaard Jewelry. I’ve been curious about diffusers since I saw one in a friend’s bathroom. They’re quite simple – no lighting candles or spraying chemicals to add a soft scent to a room – [...]

Monday’s Sustainable Sales
Unless you’re willing to pay for overnight shipping, your holiday shopping is now limited to local haunts (which ain’t so bad, ecologically). So, I’m back to showcasing more selfish sustainable sales – stuff I want for me instead of stuff I want for loved ones. Even if you’re waiting until after Christmas to shop for [...]

Acquired Aesthetics: Nostalgia Organics Aroma Balm
My friends are often mad at me. I have a really busy schedule, which includes way too many commitments, not enough sleep, and a lot of rain checks for dinner “when I’m not so busy.” (Yeah, right.) To be honest, I like it that way. Even with all the stress and the frustrations - between work, the [...]

Sustainable Sales: 25% Off at Tobi.com
I hate it when marketing works on me. Online boutique Tobi sent me an email this morning, telling me to “get caught under the mistletoe in something extra special” by using their 25% off coupon code – CAUGHT25 – to buy some sort of pretty, romantic holiday wear. So, of course, my mind drifted off to a [...]

To Covet: Magenta Fifty Five
Occasionally, I like to post things that I just plain want – whether or not they fit my style, budget, or even my ever-changing mood. Ergo, the semi-regular To Covet: a category that shows one thing that I’ve been coveting, be it eco-, socio- or independently-friendly. MATT AND NAT Magenta Fifty Five: $250 I’m just now getting [...]
