It's the week before finals and, as you can probably imagine, I'm one busy little bee. Still, I thought you guys might wanna hit up the following: Use the code REPEAT2012 and get $15 off a full size bottle of perfume from A Perfume Organic. Green sounds like my kind of scent. Check out this post on caren's  blog, which includes helpful tips concerning which ingredients to avoid in your sunscreen and which foods may protect your skin from the sun. Sup, dark chocolate? Take it from the queen of crusty elbows: this cornmeal scrub is...

  I actually read the article I'm about to share a while back, but since  I'm still pretty busy with school and don't have a lot of time to compose anything original...today seemed like an okay time to bring it out. Like me, I'm sure you guys spend 94% of your lives searching for new and frightening scenarios to worry about, so why not add these 5 Pet Poisons to your list? Since each item on the list can easily find its way into your purse, accidentally poisoning your pet has never...

Hey friends! I'm feeling pretty swamped with schoolwork lately, so I'll go ahead and apologize for how infrequently I might stop in these next couple of weeks. I promise I'll be back to stay eventually, and I'll try to at least share some fun links with you guys every other day or so (if I have time for little else). Speaking of links, here are a few: 5 Things to Give Up During Lent to Improve Your Health-Meat, excessive sitting, cigarettes, fast food, and oversleeping are bad for you? Illuminating! 5 Best Natural Laundry Detergents- I'm ashamed to disclose...

New Year, New Goals

Link to New Year, New Goals

I'm not good at keeping promises to myself. Last year, my new year's resolution was to work out every other day. That might've lasted for a week, and by the end of it my idea of working out was wearing ankle weights to check the mailbox. This year's resolutions are a little less rigid; I'm taking it easy since this'll be my last year on earth (jokes). Five goals for 2012: Drink more tea (herbal, green, white, black...you name it!) Eliminate beef and pork from my diet completely. I already eat them very infrequently, so this should be easy peasy. Read...

Kirby has been working diligently on a chunk of land in our back/side yard that will soon become our fruit and vegetable garden. I CANNOT WAIT. He also recently rescued the tiny fallen baby bird pictured above. I was reminded of why I date him.   p.s. If you haven't entered my giveaway yet, there's still time! Remember: each entry requires a separate comment. p.p.s. Speaking of giveaways, this Strawesome (Glass  Straw) Giveaway is pretty great. If you ask...

In light of my heightened awareness of my dangerous eating habits, I woke up reasonably early yesterday (which is 10:30 for me) and cooked a big, nutritious breakfast for myself. It consisted of: 1. One piece of Nature's Own 100% Whole Grain Toast topped with some tasty Basil Jelly that I picked up at the Farmers' Market- Nature's Own Whole Grain Bread has both Fiber and Protein. Also, whole grain foods may lower your risk for heart disease and even certain cancers...or so the breadbag tells me. 2. A Delicious, Homemade,...

Link to A Healthy New Year’s Resolution

I frequently give myself lifestyle improvement goals and never meet them.  It's something that I'm not proud of, but it has become a fact of my life. I'm putting my foot down this year, and I'm making a new year's resolution to exercise at least every other day and stick to it. I asked Kirby for Asics for Christmas because, well, I think that running and riding my bike might seem more appealing if I have some cool shoes to do it in. Also, the pair of Walmart sneakers that I've had since high school are a sad...

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Married to the sea, because it cracks me the hell up. 8. Informative books like Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry (which is totally on my Christmas list, BTW.) 9. Mexican Coke- It may not be healthy, but it's High Fructose Corn Syrup-free! 10. Ridiculous dessert recipes like this one for Praline Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake. Happy Thanksgiving, guys! ...

We recently had a get together with Apple Cider and Pumpkin-Carving, and I've been pumped about fall and all things related ever since! It's probably obvious; I look like a giddy child in the picture above. As if I didn't have enough fall business to be excited about already, I just finished reading a fantastic article on Care2 that walks the reader through 11 ways to use a pumpkin! I can't wait to try making the Honey Pumpkin Exfoliating Mask, the Luscious Pumpkin Body Butter, and the Vegan...
