This taking photos of myself at the office is tricker than I thought. I'm sitting here trying to play it cool and take the shot when no one's looking... Do you want your co-workers seeing you snap photos of yourself (full-length body shots)? There's no good way to pose in front of my laptop and…

Is it just me or is the White Elephant Gift Exchange getting more and more popular every year? I used to attend possibly one holiday party a year which had a White Elephant theme. Now, it's more like 3-4 minimum! I have to admit I LOVE them... uhhh maybe I'm actually the one who's always…

I start to sweat while in line at the grocery store debating over what to say when they as me -- paper or plastic? I so badly want to say "No thanks! I have an eco-friendly organic-of-course shopping bag!". The fact that I could never hope to get my hands on the Anya Hindmarch I'm…
