Stormy weather abound, the people in Haiti need healing help more than ever. The song Umbrella has been on my mind lately as it’s been rainy here in San Francisco. As I was humming the lyrics the above rose print umbrella showed up with a mission! Unique Vintage is holding an umbrella sale to lend some help to the Haitians dealing with the aftermath of last week’s earthquake.

Burbank California based vintage-inspired boutique and online store Unique Vintage is donating twenty percent of sales from their umbrella collection to the American Red Cross from now through the end of January. Read the rest of this entry »

As I jump off the diving board, in a triple flip-touch my toes-twist and turn like pretzel formation, I gaze below me; my eyes fill with the beautiful sight of green, crisp money- aching for my touch. I slide into the fresh bills with very little splash- perfection- and begin to glide through the millions of dollars that belong to me. Tickling my face, caressing my legs, filling my nose with the scent of “no more financial struggle,” I smile in glee and bask in the glory of my pool of funds.

Then I wake up.

Yesterday I heard a series of interviews with Americans about their holiday gift plans. Responses included phrases like “Wal-Mart,” “Gift Cards,” and “one big gift instead of 10 small ones.” Clearly, families everywhere are rethinking their gift-giving traditions. My own family has had The Talk about how this year we’ll have to reign in the spending; some relatives will have to forgo gifts altogether. Always, the discussion is heavy with sadness, resignation, even guilt.

If you’re in the same boat, there’s no need to be glum, chum! Instead of filling your brain with which big-box store is offering the best sale on crap you’re not even sure Aunt Deloris will like, use that cerebral space to get creative this season! I promise you, this year has the potential to be not only the most affordable, but also the most enjoyable one yet. How? By deciding as a family (or office group, book club, etc) on an eco-friendly/budget-friendly/helping people-friendly theme. Let me explain by throwing out a few examples: Read the rest of this entry »

All of us are trying to do our part in reducing unnecessary waste and, naturally, disposable plastic grocery bags are one of the items we’re cutting back on.  You may even have a few canvas totes you’ve already collected in the process.  But do your bags organize your grocery list for you?    (Read to bottom for 20% OFF)

I have recently discovered the Gro-Pak grocery bag system and I am absolutely in LOVE with this product line.  Made from 50% post-consumer PET products (plastic bottles), this grocery bag kit was designed by women who understand that functionality is what makes a good product GREAT.  This system makes the PERFECT holiday gift because it is functional, eco-friendly and anyone can use it.  Plus, with a wide range of prices, it can also make a great stocking stuffer due its compact nature.

This weekend I am sitting down to address my Christmas cards and get them ready to be mailed out. At least that’s one thing that is one my to-do list.

It may or may not get done.

This year I am not sending out a whole lot of cards, these days I send a lot of electronic greetings to those who I have email addresses for. However for family and people whose emails I do not have I still send old fashioned greetings along with photos of the kids.

I do try to opt for the more eco-friendly greeting cards by choosing those made from recycled paper or even tree free paper.

Wondering where you can find these eco-greetings? Read the rest of this entry »
