Chez Pim has a fashionable way to help the environment...
A while ago I wrote a post making fun of the global scramble to get one of those Anya Hindmarch's limited edition 'I am not a plastic bag' bags. The campaign's intention was entirely laudable, though that stampede it created, like the near riot in a Hong Kong mall for example, was indeed ripe for ridicule.

We're all pretty lucky to be living in Canada and the USA. It's too easy to take life here for granted. I was reminded of this recently when I watched a good friend of ours at a swearing in ceremony to become a Canadian citizen.
After moving to Toronto from Buenos Aires, Argentina 4 years ago, Julio worked a series of odd jobs - whatever it took to pay the bills, to hone his language skills...

A summery hair accessory, from The Beauty of Life...
Okay, I think I may have died and gone to heaven. My summer staple is definitely the headband. I've been rocking it with ponytails and buns for two months now -- yes, since before summer even began! -- and I'm totally jonesing for some new styles and colors.

We all love the idea of going for monthly facials, highlights, manicures and pedicures, but that can really add up. Hair and nails aren't really negotiable, so it's usually the facial that doesn't make the regular beauty routine. That's unfortunate because our skin is truly the most worthy investment of the lot - unless you have premature grays like I do, in which case it is a tie...
