Too many toys can mess up a person’s spiritual life. Too many Hummers, iPhones, and Louis Vuitton purses, too many designer jeans with huge back pockets covered in embroidery, too many Brazilian Blow Outs, CAbi parties, chrome rims, and too much Twilight (way too much Twilight), can make it darn near impossible to know a […]
Being Uncomfortable With Comfort

Eco-Fabulous
I don’t know about you but when I hear the term green clothing my first thoughts are, ‘What shade of green?’ and ‘Will it bring out my eyes?’ Thoughts of whether or not my fashion choices are good for the environment and humanity don’t spring to mind and neither do the words, “Bamboo,” “Hemp,” “Soya” […]
