No Body Is Perfect
This video made me cry. It touched something magical and vulnerable within me.

Why Your Clothes are Not Like Fine China
Your clothes are not fine china – you don’t have to keep them “for good”. Which is what so many of us do – we assign some of our clothing as being “For Good Only” and those items simply don’t get as much wear as they should. From a “cost per wear” perspective, these clothes […]
