Cheap Hair Care: Mane ‘n Tail

I’m on the left! I have great hair. Unfortunately, it took me losing all of it to a particularly gnarly bout of cancer to really appreciate it. (Don’t worry; this isn’t going to be some faux-inspirational survival story where I pat myself on the back for making it through chemo

Broke-Ass Porn: Mary Cherry

It’s about these two girls who are nemeses; Brooke McQueen captains the cheerleading team and rules the school,

Heart — A Cheap San Francisco Wine Bar

In college, I learned that drinking wine out of a mason jar was socially acceptable. Unfortunately, that habit didn’t translate well in my post-grad life. Real adults think jars are tacky — although, I’m willing to concede that this might just be a San Francisco thing since a lot of

Reasons to Raise Chickens in Your Backyard

Assholes There’s this relatively new phenomenon happening right now called the Urban Farming Movement. (Check it out: even T.I. supports it!) My boyfriend, in particular, is really into it for two reasons: 1.) He fancies himself as a sort of misanthrope and really loves the idea of never having to
