According to the British newspaper, The Observer, there may be a pack of assassin dolphins loose in the gulf of mexico. Apparently these dolphins were trained by the military to carry and fire toxic darts and were set loose by the recent hurricane.

In the category of small pleasures (freshly sharpened pencils and hershey’s bars), I profess my love today for stacks of letters. Is there anything more satisfying than having a little pile of sealed, addressed and stamped letters on your desk ready to go out? I love it when I have stacks of Christmas cards or…

Boden is a great source for cute clothes from the UK. Check out the coats, wrap dresses and purses. Now only if the currency exchange rate actually made their clothes affordable!

I am so excited for my facial after work today! The combination of swimming in municipal pool water, cold windy days and urban pollution has me feeling more than a little icky. It’s time to get scrubbed!

Pillows…Something we spent a third of our live using and never really give a second thought. I am going to Macy’s today to pick out some new pillows and decided to scope it out online first. Most of the pillows are in the $10-30 range but some cost as much as $250! My first reaction…
