My Fujifilm 5100 camera sold off on eBay for over $300, so I was able to afford the new camera that I was longing for. I went with a Nikon CoolPix 7900 & am delighted that I did! The color and clarity of the shots is beautiful, as well as the camera itself is very easy to use. Of course, all that is important, but I also wanted to make sure that I got a camera that could fit in my purse; I like to be able to take random shots :) My best friend, Matt, was also quite happy that I have become a Nikon fan.

Today was my first day with it & I took some random shots aroud my apartment to show its goodness.

Well lads & lassies, it has become official. In May 2006 (after my current lease runs out), my boyfriend & I are packing up & moving to San Francisco.

Any info on the local area, as well as websites to help with the move, are most appreciated :)

If you haven’t heard of American Apparel, then you live under a rock.

All of their items are sweatshop-free, as well as they have a great Sustainable Edition collection that is made of 100% organic cotton.

The eco world loves just how versatile bamboo is: it grows over 3 times faster than cotton, and can be used for just about anything! Soybeans, other than being healthy for you to eat, are also starting to take shape as a great eco-alternative to chemically-ladened goods that are found all over the world.

I have to say that I was pleasently dumbfounded when I found out that one of the very popular fashion-forward brands, Max Studio, has over 10 different items in its Fall 2005 collection that are made in-part from soybeans, bamboo, or both!

The biggest complaint by companies and individuals about being environmentally-friendly is the cost. Well, it is not as hard as you think (ha, go figure)! Doing little things in your routine can add up over time, saving you money and the planet a few more years of existence. ... [there's more]

Being the media buff that I am, I have over 15 magazine subscriptions that I get monthly. Yes, I do read them all cover-to-cover, & damn proud of it. Some of them are fashion magazines, others are more beauty, technology, and entertainment-related.

Out of all the magazines that I get, Organic Style is my favorite & the one that I truly look forward to every month.

Why am I telling you this? ... (there's more)
