New: Green Picks

greenpicksoneproductatatime

As I have mentioned I do talk about products that are not so green. Its hard, I love products. I’ve created a new tab to house all of the posts on green products, called GREEN PICKS. All the products listed are safe and pass my rigorous reading of ingredient lists. I’ll be updating this over the next week or so to include all of the One Product posts on safer products!

Enjoy and have an awesome weekend!

I am the laziest person when it comes to shaving. I just replaced my razor cartridge after something like 3 months of daily shaving ( I like to be smooth all the time, even in winter).

Genius Idea: A Coat Check for Your Drink

Image (15)The other night I went to see The Cave Singers at The Empty Bottle in Chicago. First, the show was amazing and I was totally blown away by the bands energy, it was a really good night. Second, the Empty Bottle was such a cool laid back venue and everyone who worked there was so nice, I want to just hang out there all the time. But the best part of the whole night was what is pictured above, its basically a coat check for your drink when you step outside. SO F- ING SMART! You put your drink down and remember your number and pick it up when you are back inside, its right by the door guys so you don’t really have to worry about getting roofied or something (though I am sure they would disclaim any sort of guarantee on that last part). Either way, this was the highlight of my night, this is just so smart and I was completely blown away by its simplicity- other bars take note.
