I’ve been on the hunt for a stainless steel bottle. I do like my Sigg, which seems to be controversial among the green community. Personally, it works for me, but it was lacking a few things. One of those things was insulation. I had a few criteria for a new bottle, and this one fit [...]

I’m pregnant and have baby showers coming up and I’m pretty frustrated and worried with the baby gift shopping.

At 26+ weeks pregnant I am already immersed in my “please don’t let me get any stretchmarks” belly rub down routines.

But you can keep your skin conditioned and [...]
