Blue Jeans and Pollution

I own two pairs of blue jeans. Personally, I don’t find them comfortable. But after seeing this, I know I won’t be buying any more blue jeans. Ever. Makes you think twice about buying blue jeans, doesn’t it?

Virginia Beach; eco-friendly vacation spot

When I visit a new city or a new town, I like to check out how eco-friendly it is. I get a kick out of acting like a “green” inspector and try to see what I’d consider ‘green’. It’s for fun but it’s also educational. I had to drive down to Virginia Beach last weekend for a fencing tournament with Emily and I stayed at Fairfield Inn, on the beach. [...]

Grilled Veggie Quesadilla Recipe

I couldn’t have done it without them! Since I was working the auction, I actually got to see, firsthand, [...]

Ojami Bento and Lunch Tote Review

When growing up in Korea, bento (Dosirak, in Korean but we used to call it “bento” too) was an expression of mother’s love… so it seemed. We always wanted what was in someone else’s bento. We always compared who had the better tasting lunch and whose mom packed – HAM, of all things – and that her mom must love her more than my mom loves me because I never [...]
