35 Days of Ways You Can Change Your Life for the...
If you’re like me, you work pretty hard all year to stay healthy and in shape. But by the time the holidays set in, I always feel like I’ve lost a bit of my drive. The cold weather drives me to nest a bit more, gravitate towards heavier food (and holiday sweets) and shrug off the gym.

The festival is a...

So far I’ve found everything from diapers, dog food and chocolate, to garden seeds, virgin cold-pressed coconut oil, bing-cherry jam and Maca.

Fair Trade - Great Gifts
Ok, I’m two days too late, but I did start writing this in October so I’d like to call attention to the fact that October was Fair Trade Month and highlight an organization that has embraced these values since before Fair Trade organizations even existed. It’s called Ten Thousand Villages and while there are over 100 retail stores across the country, they are a non-profit...
