I love TOMS’ commitment to donating one pair of shoes to children for every pair sold, BUT I’ve been struggling with some of the style options. For the most part, the ultra-casual slip on has not managed to impress me. And, when I gathered opinions from my Twitter peeps, the majority of the responses centered around “great cause, not-so-great style.” Nooo What’s a girl to do? Well, enter my friend, DG. I hung out with [...]

Every Mother’s Day, women are always looking to do something fun and fabulous with their mothers (or daughters). The usual options are brunch, high tea, shopping, etc. This past Mother’s Day though, thirty Houston moms gathered to enjoy a special afternoon of pampering and beauty at The Pretty Party: Mother’s Day Edition. The event was the brainchild of Alexia Johnson (Life’s Petals Event Planning) and Summer Galvez (Socially Privileged Entertainment), two ladies who obviously know a thing [...]

On Saturday, I had the pleasure of hosting my favorite ladies for my Johnson and Johnson Cause Party. The idea behind the event was to gather my girlfriends for food, drinks, laughter, and, of course, a great cause. My ladies gathered at my place around 1:30p, began introducing themselves, and started digging into the snacks! For all of my Chicagoans, if you have not had the fresh salsa and guacamole from Hyde Park Produce (1226 [...]
A couple of weeks ago, I started following Kiehl’s on Twitter (@kiehlsnyc), and noticed every now and then they would donate 100% of sales of any given item to the Waterkeeper Alliance. They called the campaign “10/10/10,” which essentially meant that for 10 days they sold 10 products for only $10 and donated 100% of the sales to the Waterkeeper Alliance, up to $10K. Got it? Well, the 10/10/10 campaign is over, but that doesn’t [...]
