To shop
Comparison shop at earth moment.com, a price comparison site that also notes items (and stores) that meet environmental standards. Half of commission-based revenues from the site benefit carbonfund.org, a non-profit group dedicated to carbon offsetting.
To see
Maybe 2do deserves a pat on the back. Chicagoan Sarah Hendron entered a Dove “Love Your Hair” contest she read about in 2do and now appears in a Dove ad in the December issues of Cosmopolitan, Harper’s Bazaar and Marie Claire.
To apply
Getting ready in a rush? Try the Instant Eye Shadow kit, essentially a press-on kit for eye makeup. Apply to lids, blend with fingers and go. A pack of five is $16 at coloronpro.com.
Lost & found
The writers’ strike at least will offer plenty of time to catch up on lost programs. Search for shows at locatetv.com, a search engine for TV listings that lists when shows will next air and links to downloads.
