My first official order from Soap.com and why I’m in love

I have a love/hate relationship with doing laundry. Part of me absolutely loves the feeling of a closet full of fresh, clean clothes; it’s kind of like going shopping without spending a dime. The other half hates the sorting, lugging, and folding process with a passion. Call it the honeymoon period if you will, but [...]

Life is too short for the wrong job

The other day I came across this old print campaign by a German job recruitment company that caught my eye. They ran a print campaign called “Life is too short for the wrong job”, placing various strategic posters on everyday machines in a guerrilla marketing style. It’s a whimsy, business driven message, but it raises some interesting [...]

Selling on Etsy: Keep it updated

One thing that I’ve been trying to do more and more of with my own Etsy is list a wide variety of products. I don’t mean necessarily that I will be branching off into several genres of items – I find keeping a common theme or niche seems to work better. Rather, I’m trying to [...]

How far would you go to save a buck?

One of Jony’s and my favorite shows to watch right now is the TLC series “Extreme Couponing” (check out the site for loads of resources!). The premise of the show is different men and women who spend hours upon hours finding coupons and shopping sales in order to save on average 95% off their bill. [...]

The foods safety experts would avoid themselves

The other day I ran across this article on Yahoo! that discussed the top 7 grocery items food safety experts said they wouldn’t eat themselves. Some of these items I knew about, but some of them really surprised me. Take a look at the list and let me know how your “safety knowledge” faired! (ps- [...]

It’s raining babies!

These last few weeks have been filled with showers of all sorts: from bridal to baby, and the occasional burst of raindrops that keep the warm weather at bay, it has definitely been eventful. I apologize for not being able to post as much lately – I’ve had my hands full! This last Saturday I [...]

Outdoor decor for little spaces

This spring/summer I would love to spend some time creating a pretty outdoor space to enjoy with my husband. For the past year and a half that we’ve lived in our home, our patio area hasn’t been a huge priority – Ollie has pretty much taken over that arena. I’m ready to reclaim the space, [...]

Last Thursday I had the honor of attending the Creative Industry Meet Up at Eel and Ermine in San Francisco. Edyta Szyszlo [event photographer] and Megan Shuler [of Enjoy Events Co.] had contacted me about a week beforehand asking if I would be willing to supply some of my rope bracelets as favors. I said [...]

Regional Fashion

Like many of you, I love looking through different street fashion blogs. I find real people easier to get inspiration from versus magazine shoots or fashion shows (though I spend plenty of time pouring over those as well). Most of these blogs focus on iconic style locations, from New York City to Milan and Paris [...]
