I don’t know about you, but my skin really suffers during the harsh winter months. With the heat on, it starts drying out in late October, and it doesn’t really recover until May when I can leave the windows open all day.

I’ve been on a DIY-run lately. I have been crafting out the kazoo this summer, and it’s been a blast! Just a couple of weeks ago I posted the “How to Make Your Own Market Bag” project. Well, I ended up doing that particular project right after I was done working and it turned out [...]

You know that much loved t-shirt you’ve had since the early ’90s? It’s thin enough to see through, and now looks like Swiss cheese from all the holes. This is the kind of shirt you can’t donate, since after all…who would buy it?

So, I know I just wrote about how to have a fair trade Valentine’s Day. But the thing is if you’re single, or you and your partner are “on the outs”, you might not want to have a fair trade Valentine’s Day. In fact, you might not want to have any kind of Valentine’s Day [...]

First of all, I’m well aware that it’s still January. And, being in Michigan, I know I’m staring at snow out my office window, and chattering my teeth at there mere thought of going outside (as I write this, it’s 10 degrees).
