I love this hair trimmer. I’ve always ALWAYS hated shaving, so I hardly did it. Then I gave up completely at 20. Instead, I use this nifty thing to trim. Now, my husband uses it to. He doesn’t shave his facial hair, but trims it up. A couple weeks ago I heard that he’s been … Read more

I’m a website developer, so I work on a computer all day almost every single day. I spend my fair share of electricity usage for sure. And a habit I’ve been doing for quite some time is not shutting down my computer. Like ever. The only time my computer shuts down is when it dies. … Read more

As you can imagine, the disposable dishes are a nightmare. I try to pass on them, but I get complaints about “dirtying dishes” and “convenience.” And I get suckered in … Read more

I don’t buy books often. I’m a cheapstake and use the library religiously. But there are times when you want to own a book. For one, I love Sleeping Naked is Green by Vanessa Farquharson. I read it every two years. But I move around all over the place, so most of my library books … Read more
