Anyone who has been reading my blogs or even talking to me casually for more than 5 minutes knows that sustainability is a big deal to me. While the fashionista in me constantly battles with consumerism and the lazy cook in me tries not to justify eating processed food, pretty much every other area of… Continue reading I saw Walmart’s Commitment Firsthand at Sustainability Expo

Take a Tour of Your Local Boys & Girls Club
One of the things about my childhood that I remember most fondly is always having something to do. Some years, it was ballet, tap and jazz dance classes. Other years, it was gymnastics or drama.

42 Movie: My View from the Red Carpet
This week, I went to Los Angeles for the first time ever, and I have to say, it would be difficult to beat this first impression. Why?

On its face, this might not sound like much of a perk. Traveling all that way just for a boring business meeting? Well, that’s because you’ve never… Continue reading Why I Love Going to the Walmart Shareholders Meeting

Well, I actually won! I finally want to share the results of that. The photos were… Continue reading My Shine: A New Look for Me
My Shine: Finding the Beauty Inside Myself
Akilah from Execumama and Kahran from Creative Soul Photography have issued the “See Me Shine” Challenge, asking readers to look within and write five things that they love about themselves. I love the spirit of the challenge, but I admit this doesn’t come easy to me. Self-love is one of the things I constantly struggle… Continue reading My Shine: Finding the Beauty Inside Myself
