About a month ago, my mom gave me a Picnic Backpack that she’s had for a number of years. What was once a well-intended Christmas gift, this present became a long lost relic in her under-the-stairs storage. As an urban dweller, the picnic bag would have better luck at being useful to me. Last night [...]
My mom has been hunting for a digital camera, as the really really old digital camera I gave to her more than six years ago no longer works. She obviously didn’t want to spend too much and wanted to get a free SD card with it too. I have had my Canon PowerShot SD400 for [...]
I received my Envirosax Botanica pouch today! It contains five environmentally conscious designs in a neat little pouch that’s about the size of a small novel. Each bag rolls up into a compact, palm-sized shape that can easily be thrown into your purse or even your pocket. I have always lusted after the Envirosax, but [...]

I set out to upgrade my cubby—a six-drawer unit from Ikea that I store hair accessories, makeup and more in. It originally was stained a blue/gray color that with my new bedroom decor doesn’t match the rest of the look. So I thought painting it the brown that matches my jewelry box would be great. [...]
Another favor from a recent wedding was they adorable votives. Again, my friend the bride told me to take what I wanted so they weren’t left with 100 or more votives to give as gifts for years to come. So I took a handful for myself. I like how elegant they look lined up. I [...]
