Let’s tour this funky LA house with the rainbow fireplace
Surprisingly there is no mention of the RAINBOW FIREPLACE in this real estate listing! If you were to ask me, I’d totally describe this place as “the LA funky house with the rainbow fireplace.” And the outside doesn’t even hold a candle to the amazingness contained within…
I need realistic advice about living off the grid in small structures
I’ve always had the dream of moving around place to place in my own nomadic shelter.
My third life: Reinventing myself by moving to another city
In New York, one of the first questions asked when you meet someone is, “What borough are you from?” I quickly learned that I needed to “represent.” At first, it felt weird trying to profess my pride for a place that I had only know through TV and movies, but as months passed, I felt less and less like a Clevelander and more like a Brooklynite. Unfortunately, after 14 years, the New York City that had I loved since childhood pretty much vanished in front of my eyes. ust as we were contemplating leaving, we got an offer to stay with his family in Greeley, Colorado…
Why I send my kid outside to a kindergarten in the forest
It’s winter in Georgia. The children waddle into the woods in layers of warm and waterproof clothes, awkward and round. The teachers’ hats are pulled down over their ears and when they stomp their feet and clap their hands along with the songs and poems at morning circle time, they do so with extra motivation.

There is a metric ton of adult content out there, but I’m aiming for smut which pictures positive, consensual, fun sexy times, and stays clear of the usual pitfall of classic porn (sexism and woman degradation, I’m talking about you).
Help!? My friend got sucked into multi-level marketing: How do I support them without purchasing things I don’t want?
A friend of mine recently became an independent consultant selling through a multi-level marketing company. I want to support her, but I don’t want to buy any expensive products that I don’t need. I can tell she needs encouragement, but how can I help her without compromising my own values?
Gift your buddies cute-yet-easy embroidered gifts
Want to give your friends and family something unique and hand-made, but don’t really have the skillz to pay the crafting billz? What about finding cute but totally easy embroidery patterns? That brown bird pattern looks as adorable as it is simple. I would hang the shit out of that on my wall.
Whether it’s mid-century or modern, all-grey home decor is actually pretty dynamic
I’m having a love affair with grey home decor at the moment. So when I was doing my usual (and super-pointless as I am not looking to buy a home) sweep of the Los Angeles real estate market on my beloved Redfin, I was floored by the surprisingly dynamic all-grey interior design of these two homes…
