I'm actually working on shadow boxes for each of the major holidays - this way all I have to do is switch out the box, and if I'm feeling fancy at Christmas, I can string a few lights! ...

I definitely get rid of the ex's stuff, and after my divorce one of the key problems is that my ex REFUSED to give back or get rid of my stuff - even after I told him to get rid of it. It ended in ...

One of the things I've learned after working with stevia for almost a decade: the Truvia is just as much processed junk as any other sweetener substitute. The best way to get sweetness...

This looks more like Belle du Jour's "kept woman pad" in Secret Diary of a Call Girl.

That right there officially makes Nordstrom my first choice department store.

I have a nice recipe up on my blog that works for most stuff - it's dish soap, a small amount of alcohol (make sure you water the plant well before you do this), garlic, chili and a little lemongra...

I'm a bottle collector and I'm always falling in love with something and can't part with it - right away. Unfortunately, they still can lead to clutter. :(

I almost bought that river stones carpet, but I decided it was a)too heavy and b)I wouldn't like the texture beneath bare feet. Thinking about it now, likely it would have ended in Roomba tragedy a...

I wouldn't keep an actual weapon weapon near my bed because I'm too likely to just hurt myself. I do, however, have several soft and hardcover books on a table beside my bed, and if I need a weapon...

There are quit a few trade-offs with synthetic and natural materials - overexposure to any chemical you're meant to be around - even the natural ones - can get dangerous/cause you to develop allerg...

I am looking for a caramel recipe that doesn't use corn syrup - I'm allergic! Any variants out there? I did see the sweetened condensed milk, but what else does the milk replace and in what proport...

I deal in smelly stuff since I design perfume for a living. It's absolutely a minefield of a gift for most people. However, you will always know a perfume hound - and in that case, most really do j...

I have a bunch of books I can't resell, and we need a folding screen. I never even thought of this but now I SO need to figure this out.

I do think that it goes too far and places too much on the garbage collectors. At some point, people have to be allowed to make their own choices, even if the choices aren't great. Tha...
