City Dwellers: Life's Better on a Bike

I finally joined the leagues of cyclists in the city and have started using a bicycle as my primary mode of transportation. It definitely beats riding "the Rocket" and getting blisters from walking to meetings in heels (a bad habit I can't seem to break).
It seems riding a bicycle is almost a trendy thing to do in downtown T.O. Women ride around in sun dresses and flip-flops, which looks so...

Green Spending: Exercising Your Purchasing Power

What drives your shopping habits? Do you go for quality or the best price? You probably have different criteria when you are out for groceries than when you troll the mall. You might get just as excited about organic apples and potatoes as you did during the after-Christmas sales when you spent your rent money on shoes - but of course shoes are an

Beauty Beat: Natural Beauty
EbeautyDaily tackles the topic of natural beauty products. How do you know that what you are getting is the real deal?

The Closet Environmentalist

You recycle, use public transport, donate clothes and housewares to charity, and buy organic food. You don't necessarily consider yourself an environmentalist but you were first in line for tickets when "
An Inconvenient Truth" opened in theaters, you fume when you see a car idling in a parking lot, and you harass your family and friends to do the same even as they run and hide when they see...
