I watched The Cheeseman for three hours and he did not once touch anything he wasn't supposed to. Like his eyes, ears, nose or nether region. Those are places others unfortunately do venture -- even with food prep gloves on. Kudos to The Cheeseman and his co-workers at Buca. If I witness an infraction at a restaurant I ask for the food to be remade. Obviously this only works with an open concept design.
To a vegetarian this is a well-handled crime scene. To a hygiene hunter this is a well-handled piece of prime rib and a thoughtfully fondled bun.
This is one question I am often asked. Followed up, at times, with, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." I prefer to be proactive with my health. This includes a good diet, exercise, proper handwashing and not walking into traps set by others who are less hygiene focused. Think booger on doorknobs, feces on mobile phones and God-knows-what on gas pump handles. As soon as people hear of studies they freak out. Why not be constantly vigilant instead? And no, not in a freakish way. You can leave that to me. Boards of Health exist for a reason. According the Canadian Patient Safety Institute proper handwashing is key to infection control and avoidable deaths. Peace out. Just please don't try to shake my hand.
Instead of opting for a flu shot, I increase my Kale Shake intake by one, continue to avoid unprotected interaction with doorknobs and hold my breath for two months.
"I wouldn't walk on this floor barefooted either," said one airport security guard to another after I was granted permission to walk through the metal detector with slippers on.
Kiki is so loveable she would likely let you rest your head on her.
The greener your surroundings, the cleaner the air you breath. If you live on Salt Spring Island you have it made. AND, as if that was not blessing enough, you have this delightful bakery to encourage carb consumption.
Oddly enough I still bought my market vegetables from this vendor. Hey, as long as THAT does not come in contact with any of the produce, it is all cool.
With the number of times I wash my hands this is the size of soap I need. Remember, soap and water -- when properly executed -- is better than hand sanitizer for eliminating germs.
Thankfully, Photoshop does not cause mild itching, stinging, redness or dryness in the area of application.
A vigilant Mercer employee ensures there are no leftover fashionistas from Vogue Fashion's Night Out. They also prove gloves are always in style.

The armrest is one of the filthiest places on an airplane. This is why I use hand sani to wipe down my area. Despite crazed or confused looks from fellow passengers.
Jellyfish, sunburns and the odd condom aside ... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/08/germiest-places-at-the-gym_n_920649.html?ref=fb&src=sp#s324142&title=Water_Fountains
This takeaway concept is smart. No, not for your leftover meal, but rather your dog's.
It's great to support a product that has been on the market since 1963. With this track record, you can be confident they are not just weasling in on the Organic Movement.
Particularly those who don't wash their hands properly after going potty. This zapper keeps the Salt Spring Island Cheese Company fly-free.
If I lived in a commune, these blankies would be just fine with me. Since I don't, I'll pass. Pretty patterns though.
I found one of these in my fridge yesterday. Much smaller though. That's what you get for purchasing organic produce. I sauteed it. Tasted just like tofu.
Upside. If you pass out on the grass due to heatstroke, you won't wake up with a third eye.
Two for YOUR added protection at the Salt Spring Island Cheese Company. AND ... elbow length. In a pinch can carry you into evening wear:)
Open doors are a great way for shops to get noticed in SoHo. And earn No Touchy points from the Hygiene Hunter. Space NK carries an interesting range of skincare products including Tata Harper -- an organic line made in Vermont.
If you inadvertently touch the doors to Radiance, the restrooms are to your left. Follow with a cup of Matcha to detox your system.
The stunningly gorgeous Alexander McQueen exhibit Savage Beauty is such a draw The Met has extended the dates. Last day August 7. That means no shortage of people to do your dirty work. Or mine.
In the city that never sleeps; the restaurant that never sleeps. At most you'll have a one second wait for someone to go in or out of the door of the enduringly popular Balthazar. Year! It's like having your own doorperson! If you haven't made reservations a year in advance you will have to wait much longer for a table.
I trained my new dog to open this one at DoggyStyle. Affenpinschers are clever and have paws that comply.
This door handle is a nice nod to the Wolford brand. I wonder which part of the leg is touched the most? I opted to push my way in.
I would bust through the Crosby Street Hotel doors for their Brussel Sprouts. Luckily, they have a doorman.
Kiki de Montparnasse enticed me with their open door policy. And, complimentary Champagne. They are, after all, in the business of seduction.
First up. The Mercer Hotel. Another reason I love this hotel is because I never have to touch the front door. The Boys are always on it and I love them for it. (Remember, don't touch your face before cleaning your hands.) They also know who is a guest and who isn't. Germ warfare and security detail.
Points for protecting the lemon and lime wedges from the sneezies. AND points for Alejandro the Bartender for being Alejandro the Bartender.
Bad-people-trying-to-be-good-people-on-Broadway? Tip. If the trash bin is full, carry it to the next one.
No napkin? No fresh table cloth? No immune system? Conveniently drop your fork on the floor and, "Waiter, I dropped my fork on the floor. Could you please bring me a new one?" Merci.
Seriously. I have no idea JUST WHAT The Plaza staff were sprinkling on their steps after the witching hour. It looked like sawdust to me. Not that I am not well acquainted with sawdust. Hmmmmm ... Organic confetti? Rat poison? Lounge lizard repellent?
This is why you should never leave home without toilet paper. As opposed to a credit card -- much colder to the touch. Although, you could buy toilet paper with a credit card. BUT, not in the moment:)
Thank you nice-lady-walking-your-dog-in-SoHo for a really, really super idea. Train your dog to poop on newspaper wherever he/she goes! Then of course pick it up. Totally, totally civilized. I feel blessed to have witness this -- in a hygienic way, not catholic.
