Nothing lasts forever. I’m certainly guilty of buying and gifting the new plastic hotness. These things are fun for the moment, but wind up being a waste of space and money. Ideally, if you are giving someone something you want… Continue Reading
Some things I know about doing laundry: suds are a lie, NO ONE should be using fabric softener, and don’t dry your towels in a dryer with your clothes. Okay, the last one was a preference, and I actually know… Continue Reading
About a year ago, I purchased an item from an online vendor that I’d never used. It happens. Often. But, for whatever reason, my one purchase put me on a list of relentless mailing. And not just from the original vendor.… Continue Reading
Our last discussion on depression was the product of trying to find reason after yet another person-of-note succumbed to it. Our last post, which still remains beautifully accurate, was really written in the heat of the moment. We both agreed that we… Continue Reading
Aye yi yi. Everywhere I look lately (Pinterest, Facebook, my ladies mag subscriptions) there are a million listicles purporting essential holiday lifehacks. I’ve taken the clickbait and read many of these compilations (for you, dear reader– such sacrifice!) with an eye to… Continue Reading
Okay. Here it is. I have lots of stuff. I have a lot of my own stuff and I have a lot of my grandmother’s stuff. And I am generically predisposed to be a pack rat. I attach sentimental value… Continue Reading
It might be safe to say that we look forward to this post the most of all every year! We both love to share our favorite things that have crossed our paths throughout the year. However, it feels like we… Continue Reading
I have been aware of the Katie Couric produced documentary Fed Up since it was making its marketing rounds upon release (2014?). I didn’t see it in the theaters, but I did make a note of it on my “Things to… Continue Reading
I had planned to do an up date today on the construction going on in and around my house… Yep! Fa-Get About It! There is no up date so to speak of. I mean, the walls are demoed and the… Continue Reading
Next Wednesday, Coralie and I are going to do a joint post where we pull back the shower curtain and reveal our favorite health and beauty products. In preparation for that, I wanted to share this article that recently came… Continue Reading
The road to hell is paved with the best intentions. I promise both Leigh and I intended to blog all summer long as we have the last two summers. But. We both just kind of got derailed. What can I… Continue Reading
I have a list of things I want to say about the ruling that the Supreme Court of the United States handed down Friday. (Are you shocked that I have something I want to say?) And to be clear, I… Continue Reading
Although Summer is technically still 20 days away, June in Georgia might as well be Summer. As Coralie mentioned last Friday, the fruits and veggies are already out in full force. Which is why, when I saw a helpful info-graphic… Continue Reading
I recently read an article on Mental Floss (and you guys know how much I love Mental Floss) that I wanted to share with you guys. The article concerns the science behind caffeine. I guess I never really sat… Continue Reading
Okay, once again I went MIA. This time it was not because I was taking a moment to regroup and get a new perspective– this time it was because I was working hard for the money. I worked 5 days… Continue Reading
I was born with a severe case of wanderlust. As such, to sate that proclivity and prepare for future adventures, I enjoy watching travel shows. In many a segment, Western tourists are often dismayed or off put by the “primitive”… Continue Reading
T-shirts, amirite? I don’t know about you guys, but I have two drawers full of them. Not only do I collect cool t-shirts, but (like everyone else), I ALSO inadvertently acquire free, scratchy ones. Some of those get used as practice-runs for t-shirt mods,… Continue Reading
Every four minutes, someone is diagnosed with blood cancer. Every. Four. Minutes. As many of you know, my brother (Russell) was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia this past September. He has valiantly completed the eight, five-day, hospitalized chemotherapy treatments that were the prescribed course for his treatment. Due to… Continue Reading
