    Do It Yourself Tuesdays: Make Your Own Yogurt!

    We all love yogurt—it packs the power of protein, it tastes great, and it goes with pretty much anything. Slop it on top of some cereal, and there’s breakfast.

  • Do It Yourself Tuesdays: The Photo Cube

    Do It Yourself Tuesdays: The Photo Cube

    The semester is coming to a close and I can’t help but feeling a bit nostalgic. I’ve been going through my photos, reminiscing and getting a little misty that I have to leave these people in just a few more weeks. As I sat in my dorm room, weeping in front of my laptop, I started wondering why I don’t take advantage of all the pictures I’ve accumulated over the years.

  • Do It Yourself Tuesdays: Rubber-Band Chopsticks

    Do It Yourself Tuesdays: Rubber-Band Chopsticks

    As an Asian, I’m unable to fully understand how many Americans can’t use chopsticks. Especially my friends. I thought I’d rubbed off on them enough to take them to a local Chinese fast-food place this past weekend. Guess not.

    Do It Yourself Tuesday: (Decadent) Apple Dumplings

    Do It Yourself Tuesdays: The Corkboard Jewelry Holder

    I don’t know how it happened really, but over the years I’ve accumulated quite a large jewelery collection. I think a lot of it came from my Bat Mitzvah, when I got more bracelets than I knew what to do with (oh what I would give to trade all that in for cold, hard cash). Still, today I’m lucky to have a very impressive jewelery collection.

    Do It Yourself Tuesdays: New Shoes

    Okay, maybe “new” is not technically true. But hear me out.We all have that old once-loved pair of perfectly worn-in shoes that are still perfectly functional but are (a) out of fashion, (b) scratched up, or (c) both.
