Or, ok, having a beer in the shower after a great workout – the most random thing I ever learned from having an alcoholic roommate (NOT my current roommate, by [...]

Sushi, Ice Cream & Other Cute Things
Happy Monday, all! I had such a fun weekend! It started with dinner with my girlfriends from college at my favorite sushi restaurant, Tataki. It’s sustainable and amazingly delicious!

Mandatory Popsicle Break
It is hot, hot, hot in the Bay Area today! So I declare a mandatory Popsicle break sometime this week. Or ice lollies, as my British coworker calls them. A few of us just snuck downstairs to have them, and it was the perfect treat on this summery day! Make yours organic, or better yet, [...]

Pretty Green Tip: Lint Trap
Does this qualify me for Passive Aggressive Notes? I did use two smiley faces… I was just doing my laundry and got a little frustrated that I always have to clean out my neighbors’ lint, especially those who have dogs (neighbors, I know who you are! grrr). I always clean out the trap after I [...]
