I had this rice for the first time about a week ago and immediately fell in love with it. I might not have even thought of getting this particular variety – there being so many different ones in the bulk section at the health food store – except that I think it was on sale…

Quite a while ago I got these beans at the farmer’s market and have since come to really love them. Not only is the flavor amazing, they are only $1 per pound which if you’re familiar with the cost of beans in health food stores is a great deal. They appear similar to fava beans…

At the beauty store yesterday and tested Benefit’s Hello Flawless Oxygen WOW liquid foundation and so far I’m impressed with it. It has a really nice, glowy finish that’s not too bright nor greasy looking. It also has good coverage. I tried it yesterday without primer and today I tried it over their 15 hour…

Every now and then I get these spam mails about “events” at yoga places and it seems clear to me that they’re just businesses trying to make money. If it really were about healing it would be free. The teachers would get day jobs just like the rest of us. Far too many yoga “teachers”…

Lately its also been difficult to get curl definition. There are also cremes available which provide varying levels of curl definition and volumizing. Lately I’ve been leaning towards trying…

Urban Decay Naked Skin One & Done Hybrid Complexion Perfector We’re not exactly what you call low-maintenance when it comes to beauty (and we’re not ashamed to admit it). But we’re more than happy to take a shortcut or two—as long as it doesn’t look like we did. THIS is one of those times. Naked…

I think this is the best tea in the world. Actually I would even say the best tea in the Universe. Have you ever had pu-erh tea? It is a tea made through a special process that gives it a distinct, unique, delicate flavor. But what really makes the tea I am writing about is…

During the time of my pledge I pledge that my only drink will be pure water. The pledge can be for a half day, day, several days, longer, or forever. It has to be pure water. It cannot be tap water and should not be low-quality filtered water which is basically tap water. Reverse-osmosis water…
