I can’t stand having extra things on my kitchen counters, let alone loose unsightly plugs. They tend to catch your eye instantly, and no matter how clean your kitchen is or how clutter-free the counters are, there are the plugs hanging from the wall leading right to your cell phone or BlackBerry. Can’t.stand.it. So when [...]
Sarah and I are big fans of David Babaii’s hair products (read our hair polish, beach spray and shampoo and conditioner reviews). Besides being good for the environment, the products work. This past Sunday, David and his products hit the Grammys and went to work on the tresses of Nicole Kidman and Gwyneth Paltrow. The Voice [...]
Some men collect hats. Some collect ties. Others collect sports cars (don’t we all wish we could?). For women, it’s often shoes and purses. But I have added a new collectible to my life: tote bags. From runs to the grocery store to farmer’s market jaunts, tote bags are a constant companion for me. Some, [...]
I have to admit, I am a sweat-a-phob. I know that everyone sweats, it’s natural (well, almost everyone … I know this boy who … well that’s another story). But me? I hate to sweat, I hate wetness and I especially hate any inkling of odor. So finding and using a deodorant that is strong [...]
When it comes to wrapping gifts, I’m admittedly on the fence.

Over the past few years, I’ve been keeping a mindful eye on waste, and doing what I can to reduce my household’s output of it. I stopped sending my son to school with a brown-bagged lunch years ago, and instead, he uses the same lunchbox every day. Besides the obvious waste factor, lunch bags really [...]
With Valentine’s Day nearly here, thoughts instantly turn towards sweets and our sweeties. Truth be told, toffee really wasn’t my thing … until last year. I’m thinking I just hadn’t been introduced to the right one. Most toffees are so hard you feel like they’re going to crack your tooth in half as you take a [...]
When I was a kid, I had hair as straight as an arrow and as shiny as a lake on a calm day. Then in my teens, I got a perm and everything changed. Even once the perm grew out, my hair was (and still is, more than 10 years later) wavy, sometimes curly and [...]
I love a present that is thoughtful and targeted to ones interest, but also allows the recipient to put their own personal spin on it. It’s the perfect mix of present and gift card. You might remember that around Christmas, I reviewed the Vivabox Coffee Talk Box, a cool gift that includes several samples and [...]
