Object of Desire: Herb Garden

I'm not one for DIY crafts, but this season, I'm determined to start an indoor herb garden.  As a somewhat amateur cook, I love the idea of having fresh herbs readily available; however, as a non-existent gardener, the idea of growing something, especially in an apartment, seems a daunting task.  (Though I must say our one little plant is so far surviving!  This plant requires little water, or light, or effort...)  Just think fresh basil for pizza or mint for mojitos...it's the perfect way to bring a bit more Spring indoors.  Stay tuned to see how the garden grows!

Beauty Resolutions

I'm not one for resolutions.  However, every December I'm inevitably faced with the question, "So, what is your resolution?"  Cringe. This year, like most others, it's the same - just be "better" at things - floss more, do more charity, commit to yoga, the usual. Healthy to-dos that often get sidelined when life gets busy. Then I read that model Hilary Rhoda would resolve to drink more water every time it was asked if she wanted something to drink.  Genius!  I never drink enough water, and if she needs some, I definitely do - resolution conundrum solved!  I'm happy to report that as we enter March, this is one thing that I've kept to.  I may not be up to the prescribed 8 glasses, but definitely getting better!  As for the yoga, well I did watch a video, on a mat, wearing my yoga clothes - that sort of counts, right?
