Fresh Living

Just found this very neat site that compiles live New Years Eve webcams around the world–EarthCam. Times Square is definitely in there, but so are lots of other cams–from Paris to Prague. So even if you’re tucking in for a cozy night, you can partake in some festive lit-up joy. (And then be the envy…

I know we’re all about Tigered to death, especially those of us who live in towns with many tabloid papers who have been rolling in pun heaven. But there’s obviously a reason it’s all struck such a deep emotional chord, especially for women. One friend said to me, “But she’s a supermodel!” I replied, “Honey,…

But since I plan on having a glass of champagne at midnight tonight, I'm taking on the scout's motto "Be Prepared." Thankfully, our friends at Chicago Healers put out this list of 4 simple natural hangover cures that will have us all feeling right as rain tomorrow as we usher in 2010.

New Year’s morning is the freshest of all mornings, don’t you agree?  I also think there’s something special about New Year’s Eve morn, as there’s an excitement in the air that something–the simple but radical act of turning a page–is about to happen.

I love this version of The Sound of Music’s famous song “A Few of My Favorite Things.”  Performed by the kooky-cool duo Pomplamoose (check them out on MySpace Music), it’s got just the right minor-chord mix-ups to make the song feel new and soft and just the right tune to settle over your day.  And…

Swine flu and health care and loss…oh my!
