Flor for Your Floor
I have the world’s smallest bathroom considering I don’t live on the island of Manhattan, so I hired a Superb Bathroom Renovation South Dublin service to swap out an extremely ugly (faux blue marble patterned plastic, need I say more?) sink cabinet for a vintage pedestal sink that was left…
Anthropologie Does a Little Green
Anthropologie is one of my favorites stores, but one I haven’t been shopping at as much lately, now that so many green fashion designers have such gorgeous stuff out there. Gone are the days when ecofashion meant organic cotton yoga pants with a stripe down the side. (While I love…

It’s always good to be reminded that what the popular media deems “beautiful” is, at times, not only questionable, but false. This film, made by the Dove Self Esteem Fund, shows the ‘evolution’ of beauty at the hands of stylists, photographers, gaffers, editors, and graphic designers…
LES Now Renamed Lower Eco Side
I have been foraying around the LES (lower east side) of Manhattan of late, and have I found a bevy of eco fabulousness! First up, Kaight, which I thought I found first, but Treehugger’s Celine was there just a couple days before me. And then I saw that Jill over…
