I've been waiting for the EcoTools cosmetic bags to come out FOR-EVER. As you know, I’m a keen fan of the brand as it is. The brushes are made from sustainable bamboo, with recycled aluminum ferrules and non-animal hair
(good for all the animal lovers on your holiday list). Plus, as ...

If the lines outside Best Buy on Black Friday weren’t indicator enough, the holidays are clearly when many families look for great deals on new computers. If you're one of them, you might be wondering what you should do with the one you're replacing.
You probably know that it’s illegal ...

I've mentioned before my family tradition of sharing what
we're thankful for
before we begin eating our Thanksgiving feast.
While this year has been a challenging one for so many
people I know (and certainly my family hasn't been immune to this) I think that
there is still plenty for us ...

Ready to wait in line for hours before getting jostled and trampled

you don’t need? We know the perils of Black Friday shopping—yet

It’s not just pushcart cuisine that’s keeping the underemployed chefs of California solvent. Another trend that’s been flourishing for the last few years is that of the underground kitchen, a periodic menu created by chefs without an establishment to call their own, or moonlighting while ...

I'm too young for menopause, but I'm old enough to have friends who have reached it (or the condition that precedes it called perimenopause). Every so often I'll hear a joke about hot flashes, but I can't yet relate. Or I'll hear the term bioidentical hormones, but the only thing I know about ...

Gratitude is always in season, but there's nothing like Thanksgiving to nudge us into being more specific. For example, I've been thinking lately about how fortunate I am to live in the United States. No matter how much I disagree with our government, get furious at Congress, chafe against ...

Why not?
It’s a simple enough question, right?
Like... why not go skydiving?
Why not start exercising? (You’ve been saying you would for the last five New Years.)
Why not take up that one hobby you keep saying you really want to try, but you always find a reason not ...

With organic , fair trade coffee beans running nearly $10 a pound at my local natural food stores, I expect my morning joe to deliver a total sensory “mmmm” day after day. When that doesn’t happen, I walk backwards through the coffee making process to find the weak link. Here’s how:

As Kermit the Frog and one of my fellow Lime.com bloggers
would say, It ain't easy being green, especially when it comes to food and eating.
Making the most environmentally responsible choice isn't always the cheapest
one, the most readily available, or the most convenient. The same holds ...

Eyes may be a window to the soul, but it seems that fingernails are a great barometer for our health.
I learned this after reading an article on WebMD about how our fingernails' color, texture, surface, and other details give experts insight about what is happening inside our bodies.

As an enthusiastic traveler, I’ve
developed a fondness/borderline obsession for street food. From
puffed rice bhelpuri to rice noodle soup, ice-cold chicha morada to fresh-crushed
sugar cane, hot dogs to hot dog, I’ll try anything being sold from a pushcart or
taco truck at least once. ...

One of the great things about having Facebook friends across
