The other day, my son asked me about Valentine’s Day. He’s two…and a half. And I started thinking about this day that we celebrate year after year. While I’m not entirely convinced that we need a special day to show our loved ones that we love them (since we should do this every day), it [...]

Nahui Ollin is a company that makes incredible-looking totes, clutches, wristlets, and more…all from defective candy wrappers. The designer, Olga Abadi, discovered the ancient Mayan technique of [...]

By Caryn ~ February 4, 2010 1 Comment

With all the money I spend at a certain coffee shop, I should own a part of it…like a table or a brick…right? I just love my coffee. Unfortunately, I like the “froofy” drinks…the mochas and lattes and ice-blended drinks that cost the most.
