Getting caught with one of these sleek bags is no crime. This line of sustainable, vegan computer/ briefcase bags are made in the You-Ess-Ay! They’re sweatshop-free, made with faux-leathers from non-PVC, VOC-free compounds of polyurethane, cotton, and cellulose (more quickly biodegradable), and utilitarian with some excellent features.

You know you’re addicted. I have been hooked on the stuff since I was about 12. A few hours without it leaves lips dry, cracked and yearning for more. It is a common epidemic, and most of us struggle with it every day. Lip gloss addiction is a serious matter! What’s worse than the addiction [...]

My apartment is approximately 390 square feet. For those of you reading this who don’t happen to also reside in NYC, you might be thinking, “but wait, my upstairs bathroom is that size!” Yes, but I live in downtown Manhattan. Small apartment or no small apartment, it’s pretty fun to live here. Especially once you [...]

I recently finished reading the companion book to the wonderful documentary film, Food, Inc. As the subtitle states, this book is for people who upon watching the film felt compelled to do something about the various food issues discussed.
