The holiday season here in NY and that means pop-up shops have run amok. Don't get me wrong, I love a sugary smelling candle and hand-knitted scarf at discounted prices just as much as the next woman. But is it possible to tie this example of mass consumerism to a cause in an innovative way?

My lil sis has been urging me to host a yard sale to boost my holiday bank. I am seriously considering. However, I can't help but wonder, would anyone be crazy enough to buy my old stuff? Perhaps I should read Oprah's playbook on the very subject before I begin.

Nothing strikes more fear in my heart than the idea of having to run a long distance marathon. Well, there's then the added pressure of having to raise money AND train at the same time.

I read somewhere that Candy Crush, King Game's addictive and mysteriously popular puzzle game, makes about 700K daily.
