24 Gifts of Pittsburgh: Pittsburgh GameDay Yoga Pants

The perfect gift for the yoga loving Steelers fan. These yoga pants are perfect for the gym or an upgrade from your flannel Steelers pajama pants. I was reminded of these pants because I have been dragging myself out of bed and onto the spinning bike each morning. In an effort to catch up on last years New Years resolutions, I’m attempting 24 days of fitness. For some reason, I decided I would try to go to a spinning class everyday before Christmas. There are some grandmas, who – for the record – are in way better shape than me,… Read the rest

This is a gift that benefits the Light of Life Rescue Mission, a Pittsburgh nonprofit… Read the rest

Please add your suggestions for Pittsburgh reading in the comments below.  I would love to add some more local books to the 24 Gifts of Pittsburgh.

24 Gifts of Pittsburgh: Fair Trade Coffee from Building New Hope

Building New Hope has been one of those things that has sort of been on my Pittsburgh radar, but not something I have blogged about before.  Building New Hope is a Pittsburgh non-profit organization that imports coffee beans from El Porvenir, a worker-owned coffee cooperative in Nicaragua.  The coffee is roasted locally by Coffee 19 in Washington County. Proceeds from the sale of coffee are used to fund two schools and other youth programs in Nicaragua.
