Responsible Travel: Leave Each Place Better Than You Found It

by Caton March 23, 2015 ~ 3 Comments

I’ve been so very lucky to have many life changing travel experiences. Each of those experiences has helped shaped the woman I am today, and I’m a huge proponent of others exploring the far corners of the earth with every chance they get. Understanding, acceptance, and love of others makes the world a better place […]

New in Town? Ideas to Adapt When You Move

by Caton March 16, 2015 ~ 3 Comments

I know a few things about moving away and starting fresh. I moved 2,000 miles from where I grew up for college. I got married and moved 2,500 miles away to a new country. Last year I moved another 2,000 miles again. I wouldn’t have it any other way. At 18 I wouldn’t have said […]

Happy Friday (the 13th), and welcome to another edition of the buzz! This week has been especially happy since it has started to warm up a little here. The sun has made the days and my mood brighter.

If your computer desktop looks anything like the photo above, I’m going to go out on a limb and say there’s probably a better way to organize your stuff. Desktops tend to be a catch all because they’re often the easiest place to locate something. I mean, instead of navigating through the inner workings of […]

5 Green House Cleaning Solutions to Save Money

by Caton March 2, 2015 ~ 11 Comments

My first home of my own was on a relatively small Caribbean island, which means most products were imported from other countries. This resulted in a high cost of living. I’m thankful that I formed many of my adult habits- cooking, cleaning, and general independence- in an expensive foreign country because I learned how to […]

The Buzz Around the Web #26

by Caton February 28, 2015 ~ 2 Comments

I have a reading list a mile long and have for as long as I can remember. I add to the list much quicker than I cross off. I mean, I read the Harry Potter series in my mid 20s; that should tell you how far behind I am on great books. Well, I just […]

Cat and I know a thing or two about always being a renter and never a buyer. Home ownership will be in our futures someday, but we’re getting pretty good at this whole renting business in the meantime. Cat gave some tips to help get your rent deposit back. I wanted to talk about another […]

My Travel Bucket List

by Caton February 23, 2015 ~ 12 Comments

I don’t know about you, but I’m always dreaming about my next big adventure. It doesn’t take this arctic winter to make me dream of a warm beach, but it’s certainly helping. I’m guilty of entering travel sweepstakes often. I love listening to bangara, and my favorite cuisine is Thai. I don’t think there’s anywhere […]
