I bought a bathing suit several years ago, when I used to swim laps at the gym. It is hideously ugly. I find great joy in wearing it, because I think it’s hysterical.
It’s mostly orange, and it’s reversible. One side has bright tropical flowers and looks like something one of the Golden Girls would wear. The other side has crazy snapshot type images of everything from volcanoes to toucans. It is an assault on the eyes, but it was on sale for 14 bucks, it dries really fast, and I was just wearing it to swim from one end of the pool to the other.
And, I even got a compliment on it once. This nice elderly gentleman came up to me, poolside and said, “Wow, that is some suit!” At least, I think it was a complement.
Don’t buy a new suit if you like the one you already have. Buying stuff you don’t need isn’t eco-friendly. But if you’re in the market for a new suit and putting form above function you might want to check out these eco-friendly options.

I am all about doing things myself. I hate hate hate having to call someone in to fix things, especially since it involves vacuuming. Seriously. The dog fur tumbleweeds are out of control, and I can’t allow an outside party into this house without getting the vacuum out first. I hate vacuuming. Also, I don’t like the weirdness of having some man I don’t know puttering around my house.
So, if something breaks, I take a stab at it myself first, as long as it doesn’t involve electricity (I had an incident) or the gas line. But sometimes, it’s better to cut your losses and just get help. Read more…
