unfortunately the Fukasawa humidifiers have been unavailable for a few years now. pricey but beautiful!

Chocolate milk was recommended to me by my coach in college as a recovery drink post work out. It was supposed to help with muscle recovery, etc (blah blah blah), and the sugar for a slight energy boost. While I do not claim to know the exact scientific merits of drinking a small glass after a hard work out, I felt it was helpful. That being said, I think chocolate milk (which in many schools has excessive amounts of sugar added) should be kept out of schools - among other unhealthy foods and "vegetables" served in many cafeterias. Also, if I remember my gym classes in elementary, middle and high school correctly - I cant ever remember needing a recovery drink - chocolate milk, gatorade or otherwise; water usually did the trick.

I agree with FelicityBoston. I don't think I've seen a "food" that unappealing or disgusting in a long time.

A friend of mine had similar dilemma in her bedroom with a solution that I absolutely adore. She painted a monotone abstract floral graphic using a stencil above her bed instead of opting for an actual headboard. Other options could be using stick on graphics which might be a less permanent solution and still on the cheap.
