I’ve taken the bus to work EVERY day this week – i must say, I’m pretty proud of myself. I’ve always thought that Los Angelenos need to find a solution to the myriad of problems that come along with our excessive car use (the smog! Los Angeles was the #1 most polluted city in the [...]

Last night I managed to be semi-productive, which is a change from my usual post-work self – I managed to go through all of my clothes and pull out a LOT of stuff to be donated, as well as pulling some random home items that I no longer want, and am going to donate as well. [...]
