		<title>Eco-Sexy: Delivered</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every other Tuesday, my roommate and I have fresh, organic produce delivered to our doorstep in a box overflowing with in-season delights. Each delivery is a surprise. Will a pound of juicy white nectarines make my day, or will I have to settle for the pluots, again? (Yes, I know, a first-world complaint.) The whole [...]]]></description>

		<title>DIY Weekend: My LOVE Headboard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Several months ago, I stumbled upon this DIY-in-a-weekend &#8220;love&#8221; headboard on a random design blog. After one look at it, I knew it would be the perfect addition to my new room and new life chapter in San Francisco. It wasn&#8217;t a matter of IF I could make it—only WHEN. Lucky for me, my step [...]]]></description>

		<title>Adventures in Going Vegan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes. I&#8217;ve decided to go vegan. After years of fascination with the topic of food and where ours comes from, and having read several books and numerous articles on the topic, I&#8217;ve finally reached the book that tipped me over the edge of vegetarianism into veganism. I&#8217;m reading, and have nearly finished, Jonathan Safran Foer&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Dating: Statements vs. Questions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A first date. I take the approach that it&#8217;ll either be a good date or a good story. (Or I suppose if you&#8217;re lucky, both.) A win-win, if you think about it. More often than not, bad dates make for the best stories. And so much of what can make a date go downhill faster than [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I wanted to be a dancer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I feel suddenly bombarded with the faces, sounds and shoulder-popping moves that drove me into the dance studio as a kid. Britney, the Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block are ALL making a come back in 2011? Brace yourself. I grew up choreographing dances (and cartwheel and backflip-heavy gymnastics routines) at gym practice, [...]]]></description>

		<title>And then volleyball gave me life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Reflections from September and October, published in November: It took a couple weeks, but I eventually found it. My haven in a land that’s so foreign yet so simple. My way in. My key to a unique taste of Gambian culture. A place where some of the walls starkly dividing rich from poor, white from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rules of engagement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[They look. They holler. And they touch. Usually men. But sometimes, it&#8217;s women. At the market, I hardly notice people staring, because I&#8217;m too busy watching where I put my feet. I don&#8217;t want to trip over a curb, or slip into one. I don&#8217;t want to step in a huge puddle. Or stumble into [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where lightning strikes, thunder roars</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lightning in The Gambia dances across the entire sky. It&#8217;s like the sky is telling a secret, but only those with a keen sense of awareness will be let in on it. Not every strike dances. At the least, each strike is a backlight to the clouds above, a flash of God&#8217;s camera capturing that [...]]]></description>

		<title>I forgot my umbrella.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I forgot to pack an umbrella. Or any rain gear for that matter. The heaviest jacket I brought is a lightweight cotton cover-up I bought at Top Shop in London a few years back. A little top layer I brought only with mosquito attacks at outdoor restaurants in mind. Yesterday morning, I woke up to [...]]]></description>

		<title>SF-Philly-Brussels-Dakar-Banjul</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I walked off the plane and onto the sun-drenched tarmac &#8212; my backpack slung around my shoulders, extra carry-on in hand. I pulled my sunglasses off the top of my head and onto my face after two steps beyond the plane&#8217;s exit door. Little did I know, this would be the only sun I&#8217;d see [...]]]></description>
