As it is the time of year when many people will indulge in rich food and a few extra sweet things, it is a good time to make ourselves aware of the signs of diabetes. For most, the worst thing that can happen is that we might need to shed a few pounds after the holidays are over, but for some…
A few days ago, on of my Twitter friends posted a link to a blog post (not her own) that ended up being the funniest open letter to a family ever, all about new rules for Thanksgiving dinner, and such. While the post was hilarious, it was the rest of the blog, Margaret and Helen […]
Finding the right gift for friends and family can sometimes be a real challenge so we thought we’d put together some gift guides to help spark some ideas. Here is a gift guide for those of your friends or family who are photographers:
1. For the photographer and book-lover: Photojojo!: Insanely Great Photo Projects […]
I’m 30 and hooked on Twilight. I admit it. My husband is remarkably understanding of this and will accompany me next week to see New Moon. I’d rather not brave the first week and I want to actually hear what the characters are saying instead of girlish screams every time Edward or Jacob make an […]

Helena Christensen, who fronts Habitat’s ‘this is my Habitat’ campaign will choose the overall winner with a […]
Submitters, Visitors and Staff members are always asking for suggestions for writing and photography opportunities. Here is an exciting project combining both photographs and either personal essays or fictional pieces.
I took a couple of weeks off around Christmas of 2008 because things tend to slow down in my business anyway and my three young sons […]
Jamie Oliver (our Man of the Moment in December 2008) has just launched his latest project Recipease here in the UK. Recipease is a new food and kitchen shop where you can learn to cook and make great food. You can book a lesson to come into the shop and make a meal in around 10 minutes (they have all the ingredients ready and waiting), buy freshly made food, or attend one of the longer classes to learn more about cooking. The goal is to open various food and kitchen emporiums around the UK, with the first opening on February 26th in Clapham Junction.

I’m not big into jewelery. Most days all I wear is my wedding and engagement rings. That’s it. When I go out, I tend to wear rather subdued clothes - all very much “nature colours” and chocolate brown is a staple for me. I do however, love snazzing-up an outfit with a really lovely, bright […]
The illustrious author of Miss Spitfire: Reaching Helen Keller, Sarah Miller, has created a new and exciting reading challenge called The Disney Literature Challenge . The basic idea is to take the Disney movies, such as Mary Poppins or The Little Mermaid, and read the original stories they were based on to see […]
In times of crisis some people show remarkable bravery, compassion and generosity. They put themselves at risk to help others in need. These are the amazing people that renew my belief that perhaps humankind has a spark of hope in amongst all the other madness. One such amazing woman is Miriam Wanjiku Ndungu who […]

We are big into self-publishing, obviously, and for some time (*ahem* a few years) we have talked about doing a print version of All Things Girl. Each time we broached the topic, things got in the way - mostly the lack of time and not really knowing where to even begin in going print. What […]
Fighting social website burnout, it took me awhile to get past Myspace, Facebook and LinkedIn, but I finally signed up for Goodreads — and I’m loving it! Not only can you select books that you like to read, rank, and review them, but you can put your own writing on the website. Come […]
