Okay, so technically it’s share a sunset with your lover month, but why put limitations on celebrations?! July happens to be one of the best “national observance” months, from grilling, to ice cream, blueberries, and freedom – so I propose combine all of these into one amazing day of spending some time outdoors, watching the [...]

Transforming my bathroom into a more spa-like atmosphere has been a mission of mine for awhile, but I never seem to get around to it. I really do love spending time relaxing in my bathroom, but it always gets put on the back burner when I end up making changes in my home. I decided [...]

Happy belated Independence Day! Whew, I have to say, this past week and a half has been absolutely nuts! From out of town family visiting, my sister-in-law’s wedding (pictures to come!), working as a counselor at our church camp, and then celebrating the 4th in the city, I have had almost no time to work [...]

This Saturday Anthony Bourdain, the wonderfully sarcastic chef-turned-host of No Reservations and occasional guest judge on Top Chef, will be turning 55. In honor of this multi-cultural taste testing foodie, there really is only one way to celebrate: trying new and exotic foods that you’ve been avoiding in the past! This week’s party idea is [...]

We’ve all been there. That embarrassing moment when you realize those tennis shoes you’ve been wearing without socks have developed an odor that rivals pretty much any stench known to man.

As you may have seen already, DearPhotograph.com has one of the coolest photo challenges I’ve seen in a long time. What they’re asking everyone to do is take a picture of a place in present time, with a picture you’ve taken of the same place from the past. Add a little caption and submit it [...]

Before the Sartorialist, there was Vivian Maier: Vivian Maier, a European immigrant and caregiver, was an ordinary woman who decided to capture her urban surroundings through photography. Some 100,000 negatives later, she has become one of the forerunners of street photography – what an inspiration for me to start taking more photos to pass along [...]

Before Sunday when we all celebrate those father figures in our lives, come join us in a feast of sushi being honored around the world!

Loving Day celebrates the Supreme Court decision to strike down all laws against interracial marriages (I know what you were thinking sickos, get your mind out of the gutter! ). This day really strikes home for me coming from an interracial household (my dad is Japanese and my mom is German). Celebrate the day with [...]
