I headed off this morning to the mall to return/exchange a Christmas gift. I came back having discovered a store that I thought was new and hip and perhaps a little Boulder-esque (think Outdoor Divas), but then when I got home and looked them up on the internet, I found out that it's less subversive than I thought. Although, it is Canadian, so maybe that's subversive in and of itself. I saw yoga mats in the window of Lululemon Athletica and thought, "Hey, my mat is falling apart and has divots (don't ask - I don't know how)! I need a new mat." The salesperson, which the company calls "educators" -- err -- was uber helpful and we talked about the type of yoga I practiced and where, and I walked out with a new biodegradable (allegedly) mat. And a neat reusable bag that kicks the ass of the Whole Foods bags. And a sticker. I am a sticker fiend. But I still think that Outdoor Divas is cooler.Oh, and apparently there is a non-odoriferous way for a city dweller like me to have a compost pile under my sink. I'm not about to try.
