You finally feel like a grown up.
Five years after graduating from college and entering the work force, you feel like you are getting a handle on the adulting that you have been doing. And while it should have been the part about getting a full time job in your chosen career, or the time when you and your fiance tied the knot, or the fact that you both signed your name on a 15 year mortgage on your first home that made you feel like a full fledged adult, that was not the case. This whole feeling of being an adult did not occur because of any of the major transitions in life; instead, it happened when you and your husband decided to purchase high end living room furniture for your newly remodeled first floor kitchen and great room.

Today’s fashion industry is a booming one. With new trends appearing and fading faster than just about anyone can keep up with, it can be intriguing to see what the latest styles are. However with trends shifting so quickly, and holding such sway over such a large amount of the population, this creates a few problems that cannot go ignored much longer. Not only does the fashion industry too often feed into the unrealistic beauty standards that cater to such a small fraction of society, but it also helps to create more waste than we should ever have been allowed to create.

There’s nothing wrong with enjoying new trends, as long as it is done in a healthy and responsible manner. Back in 1930, an American woman would typically own an average of nine outfits. Fast forward to today’s norms, and many more »

Men’s dress shoes are not quite as dominant as the market is for women; they only account for 6% of the shoe market. High end mens shoes can bring in a hefty price, mainly because of some of the e more »

As the old saying goes sometimes the writing is on the wall when it comes the fate of the planet, the writing is becoming more and and more clear, there are serious environmental issues that we will need to address in a timely fashion. One of the biggest problems that face the upcoming generation is the proliferation of waste. Even though we all grew up hearing that you have to recycle and reuse, many people still have a disposable mentality when it comes to the products that they choose. It is estimated that most plastic bags are used for a mere 25 minutes before being thrown away. This stat might surprise you, but the fact that the average plastic bag can take from between 15 to a 100s of years before it completely decomposes should make the scale of the problem all too apparent.
