Shake it

Fab five: sites we love right now

Healthy Girl Cooking
Delicious recipes, fantastic cooking advice, ideas for folks living gluten-free…all wrapped up in a cute design. Bon appetit!

To-Do Tattoos
These To-Do Tattoos are SO up our alley. Who says you can be too old to write reminders on your hand? Not us!

Healthy Feet Store
We get nearly all our comfy shoe deets from Barking Dog Shoes, but this site has some great resources too—even for kids.

MPG Stick!
Drive a fuel-efficient car? (Or scooter?) Then you need to show off your mileage, Babe. Grab yourself a sticker (Editrix Jenni’s is 50+) and celebrate!

Unlearn
Street Anatomy reminds us that we’re more alike than we are dissimilar. An awesome thing to remember, Babes, especially when you’re not feeling well.

TAKE ACTION!

Create solidary, not charity: Give to Common Ground Relief, our favorite charity in New Orleans. Editrix Jenni has family there…and the city still needs your help, Babes!

Get Better Health: Check out Dr. Val’s site, which has a ton of fantastic articles, links to awesome health bloggers, and an array of smarty perspectives.

Never miss another call: Check out Google Voice, a free service that rings all your phones when you get a call and lets you access voicemail from anywhere.
