How-To: Get Rid of Fabric-Eating Moths
If you've opened your closet and realized that your favorite cashmere sweater has holes all over it, you've probably got a moth problem. It's unlikely that the moths are attracted to just that one cardi, so there are a few steps you should take to ensure your whole wardrobe doesn't suffer the same fate. That is, unless we're talking about all those reindeer Christmas sweaters from grandma.
How-To: Get Rid of Moths in Your Kitchen
I just discovered a moth infestation in our kitchen. While I can handle a lot of creepy crawly things, finding moth worms in my nut mix is not okay. It turns out that in warmer climates, infestations like this are very common.

Food Moths: Do They EVER Go Away?
Food moths are one of my many pet peeves (along with people wearing stinky workout clothes and men making rude comments at women running outside).
I had these moths in my home as a child and I remember screaming at my dad, pleading for him not to squish those poor innocent creatures. Now, I can't kill them fast enough.
Fittingly Mad: Food Moths in the Bulk Foods Section
At my local health food store, I feel at home. I love the array of beautifully colored produce, the familiar healthy brands names like Kashi, Cascadian Farms, Stonyfield Farms, and Garden of Eatin'.
I love all the natural beauty products like Nature's Gate and Natracare tampons.
Casa Verde: Mothball Alernatives
A moth is one pest you don't want to invite into your closet. But, mothballs are party poopers, too. Mothballs slowly evaporate into gas, and if their two active ingredients, naphthalene and paradichlorobenzene, are inhaled, they can be harmful to your health.
Love It or Hate It? Jonathan Adler Peace Hand
At last night's Moth Ball, an annual benefit for The Moth, a New York-based not-for-profit storytelling organization, Indian-British novelist and essayist Salman Rushdie was presented with a Jonathan Adler-designed Moth Award. Peculiarly, you can purchase the very same statuette, Peace Hand ($225), in Adler's stores or online. I'm all for harmony, but I think it's a bit taboo that anyone with the dough can take home their own Peace Hand statuette.

Tommy Lee and Pam Anderson were photographed recently in the middle of a passionate kiss. Seems these two can't stay together or apart, in a Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor kind of way.
Any theories why, ladies?
