Rent College Textbooks at Chegg – 5% coupon good all of August 2012

August 1st, 2012 · No Comments · AIDS, Conservation

I’ve been on a housecleaning tear lately, and one of the things I started to do was throw out my old business school textbooks. I’m not sure why I still had them on my bookshelf; the books are all outdated, they’re not relevant to anything I’m doing, there is absolutely no resale value in them, […]

Gifts from India that help Indian Artisans and Children

June 25th, 2012 · No Comments · Children's Charities, Developing Areas, Fair Trade

Seems that everywhere you go, you see low-quality, mass-produced imitation jewelry in department stores. […]
