One of the blogs I read often is Inhabitat–today, I was delighted to see them featuring my friend Aaron’s cool Mr. Ghost project in a post. And then I noticed the text was familiar. It was a guest post I’d submitted to them back in December…but apparently they don’t give credit to site users who […]
It’s the Lunar New Year, a time to celebrate with family and friends, and I want to wish you lots of good fortune for this coming year. Something I’ve reflected on recently is the Chinese New Year’s traditions and how they force you to take on tasks that you may have been putting off. (Let’s […]
Being a digital marketer, I’ve learned a thing or two about a good online shopping experience. One site that I absolutely think does it right is Nuts.com (formerly Nuts Online). These guys have an easy-to-use website, great selection, and great service. They ship with incredible speed, and every once in awhile they email coupons with […]
In the spring of 2012, I watched the documentary Food, Inc. As someone who cares about her impact on the Earth, it made me realize that there are a lot of things that I could do easily to lessen my impact/footprint just by eating differently. I decided to make at least 50% of my meals […]
First off, yes, I know I’ve been terrible about posting these last few months. Blame grad school–I’ve been pretty occupied with classes, assignments, etc. But I have been taking tons of photos and cooking up some new ideas, so there will definitely be posts coming. Just a quick “heads up” that my site’s going to […]

This is a total shame, considering that all of that organic material could go back into the earth to help us grow better trees, flowers, and food-growing plants. I’ve been composting for […]
Sorry, readers, for not updating much this summer. Between freelance work (check out my client Jodi’s new website), conferences like BlogHer, work, and life in general, I’ve been a bit bogged down. I promise I’ll be posting a list of some of the cool things I discovered at BlogHer in the next few days though. […]
I just got back from the farmer’s market a few minutes ago, where I picked up some golden beets, garlic, kale, green leaf lettuce, and some very robust-looking carrots (pictured). I also picked up a small, whole chicken to roast. It’s 2.75 pounds, which sounds like it would be just enough for two people for […]
Cooking with fresh ingredients is sometimes just so lovely. I just wanted to share this photo, with its vibrant veggie colors.
