Excellent articles on making sound environmental choices…
There have been a couple of articles in the past month about how to make good choices for the environment that I thought I’d share…
The first is from Ask Pablo, Salon’s new column on environmental issues. Pablo tackles the question of whether bottles or cans are more environmentally friendly (you might also note my comment, [...]
Fashion, Glamour and the Cost of Makeup
I’ve been blogging a lot lately about the true cost of certain things (conventionally-produced food, daycare, cars, etc.), and all the crazy hubbub of the Oscars got me thinking (with a little help from Suzanne) about makeup. Her post about the absurd amount we spend on make-up and other beauty products is a great read [...]
Make it from Scratch: Make your own dirt!
I was hoping to start my own carnival of sorts with “Make Your Own Monday,” but it looks like the folks over at Stop the Ride have beaten me to it with their Make it from Scratch Carnival. So OK, I’ll play and cross-post at BlogHer
I’m starting with something that I’ve been [...]
Red Carpet Review Live!
Well, my second annual Red Carpet Review was fun and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. I have to admit doing it online was not as much fun as watching it on network television, but it was a lot quieter and easier to do things on the commercial breaks (it was [...]
A Letter to My Body
Suzanne Reisman over at BlogHer challenged women bloggers to write a letter to their bodies for Valentine’s Day. As you know, I was out of town last week, so I’m finally catching up. Here is my installment (read the original post here):
Dear body,
I have to admit I feel sheepish talking to you in such a [...]
Twelve Years Ago Today!
February is a month of celebrations here at ChezArtz. As if Groundhog’s Day wasn’t enough reason to celebrate, the following day is my oldest friend’s birthday (chagrined as she is that after almost 30 years, she’s still four days older than I am–ha ha!), four days later, I celebrate my birthday along with my brother-in-law [...]
Navigating the Uncharted (or Overcharted?) Terrain of Social Media Sites
A slightly different version of this post appears on BlogHer.
A few of you have commented on the recent surge in posts here on ChezArtz–I have been a blogging fiend in 2008 so far. Part of this is just because I didn’t post much this past fall due to our move, a crazy work schedule, yadda [...]
Technology-free Week!
We got home last night from a much-needed trip to Florida to play in the Gulf and visit with my family. It was incredible and made all the more amazing by the fact that I spent a full week without getting on email and that Matt actually took the whole week off with the exception [...]
Super Caucus!
I just returned from my first-ever caucus experience, tucked my exhausted children into bed, and as I promised yesterday, am sitting down to give you the scoop.
There were many things that made the night exciting, like the fact that instead of a teeny little caucus for Precinct 003 (Lyons & immediate surrounds, probably less than [...]
Get out and Caucus!
Tomorrow is the biggest primary election in history with 21 states casting their votes in the Presidential Primary. If you are a registered voter, consider finding your polling place and casting a vote tomorrow. Voter turnout so far in the primary process has been at unprecedentedly high levels and I like to take that as [...]
