There’s an H&M opening in my town today. I gotta admit, I’m pretty excited. And then, well, I think about the garment factory in Bangladesh. Long-time readers may remember that I once ran a fair trade website. I sold clothes and jewelry made by artisans who received a fair wage for their skills and were […]

Lately I’ve been on a hair-styling kick. I’ve pretty much always been a wash-and-go kind of girl, resigning myself to having unruly, frizzy waves. At thirty-three, I’ve decided I’m finally enough of a grown-up to blow dry my hair and attempt to style it each day. So when BzzAgent offered me the chance to review

Apparently I have oily eyelids. Until a few months ago, I had never really thought very much about my eyelids. They certainly weren’t on those “t-zone” charts that I always saw as a teenager with typical combination skin (for the uninitiated, that’s skin that is dry is some areas and oily in others). What I
