I like the idea of going to work in an environmentally-sound vehicle — especially one that can get me a great workout! But this one, dubbed the Imagine LMV does bring to mind a certain Stone Age family who have been sporting this kind of ride for ages. Starting at $15,000, this human powered gem has you rowing your way to a greener earth. But instead of messing up your pedi, a la Wilma Read more
The Vow Channing Tatum stars in this romantic drama as Leo, the husband of a woman (Rachel McAdams) who has recently lost her memory in a traumatic car accident. Leo must painstakingly woo his wife back, as she has no recollection of the past four years in which they met, fell in love, and started a life together. Though the story is an interesting hook, the movie is more depressing than Read more
We all make mistakes — we're all human after all. LearnVest shares some of the common money mistakes that women often make so readers will learn not to make them, too. Some of us handle our money flawlessly, perfectly, brilliantly, all of the time. But most of us don't. Most of us make mistakes here and there.

Here's a post from our partners at BabyCenter! Every week, we bring you the best parenting and lifestyle stories from the experts at BabyCenter, including this post from Dr. Gwen Dewar about ideal places to live. Where should I live?

Like last week, this week's episode of The Vampire Diaries is pretty underwhelming again, and again, I blame the lack of Klaus. Where is he hiding? The episode instead focuses on Alaric and his uncontrollable urge to kill innocent people, and Damon's old pal Sage, who's on the hunt for her old flame, original vampire Finn. There's not so much excitement this week, except for one extended, and Read more
Unless you've been living under a rock these past few days, you've heard of Invisible Children cofounder Jason Russell's complete meltdown in San Diego last Thursday. The face of the huge viral Kony2012 campaign was detained for running around naked in the streets of San Diego. Initial reports stated that Jason was vandalizing cars, acting drunk, and even masturbating in public, but all that has Read more
We're thrilled to present this smart LearnVest story here on Savvy! At first glance, it doesn’t seem like there are many money lessons to learn from The Real Housewives. One spent a season building a $1.8 million mansion and driving around a $1,280-per-month Escalade, only to file for bankruptcy with almost $11 million in debt. Shortly postbankruptcy, she dropped another $60,000 on a shopping Read more

The Vampire Diaries made its triumphant return after a long hiatus, and boy was this episode worth the wait. It's not the most action-packed episode we've ever seen, but there was a hell of a lot of plot development to make up for that. More specifically, I'm talking about the major OMG moment that happened in the final minutes! Family is the running theme this week, as Klaus is trying to Read more
To err is human; to make budgeting mistakes, totally human as well. Most people are not aware of the little budget traps we get caught in, because life is so busy that it's hard to keep track of the smaller money details. But being careless can rack up higher bills. Pretty soon, you might be wondering where your money is going — you don't spend that much every month but your bank seems to be Read more
