I hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. My husband and I are both vegetarians, so for the first time in both of our lives we had an all-vegetarian Thanksgiving. Usually there is some meat for some kind on either of our families, so to have a truly meat-free Thanksgiving was heartening in a very [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!
From our family to yours, we wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving! Spend time with those you love, eat (measurably) to your heart’s content, and reflect on the many things that you are thankful for.

Holy Grail Goodness: Urban Eden’s All-Natural Deodorant
My second posting in this series is on Urban Eden’s Tea Tree Lavender Deodorant. It is a product that I seriously couldn’t do without!

In Nawlins!
Hi everyone!
I had a great post prepared for you on the importance of oils in skin care, but WordPress was acting up when I tried to publish it and alas…it is lost, never to be retrieved. When I have time to write it over, I will.
Right now, though, I’m in the fascinating city of New [...]

Soap Obsession, and an Ultimatum
It’s no secret that I love soaps. A bit too much. In the process of packing and moving this summer, I truly realized how many bars I have. Yesterday I calculated how many years (not months!) it will take me to use up my soaps. Granted, I may be overestimating the amount of time given [...]

Research
Hi Everyone!
I just wanted to share that this was my first official day of teaching as a professor. I did a seminar, which was an introduction to research in the humanities and social sciences. It went very well, and it was so inspiring to reflect on my experiences as a college student, and how much [...]
