Every year around this time, I seem to forget about my blog anniversary and this year is no exception! On May 13, 2008, I posted the following as my inaugural blog post: I decided that there needed to be a central site that profiles fabulous movers-and-shakers who have committed themselves to changing the world with a stylish hand and an open heart. Everyday, there are plenty of designers, boutiques, celebrities, fashionistas, and more doing their part to support the [...]
With so many things constantly being thrown in our direction, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, burdened, and even a little lost. If you have never felt this way, then you are a better person than me and you need to bottle up whatever mojo you’re working with and sell it! Lately, I’ve been feeling that way…Just completely stressed, overworked, and like I would never catch up with my never-ending to-do list. But, I think that [...]
Dining Out for Life is one of my favorite occasions because it gives me a reason to try new restaurants (or visit old standbys) and support HIV education and fundraising. Each year for the past couple of years, a group of friends has always planned a dinner at one of the supporting restaurants in town and tonight’s no different. My (play) brother is celebrating his birthday so we’re all getting together at one of my [...]

So, I decided two things: I needed a mid-afternoon dance break and I would share four of my favorite songs that I listen to when the urge to bust a move hits me. Enjoy the videos below…I also have [...]

Last year, I blogged about the supercute pieces in Nicole Miller’s collection which supported Indego Africa, a social enterprise that empowers and provides access to job skills and trade programs to African women. I randomly found myself on their site early this AM and saw a cute set of textured bangles that are now on sale for $20. Available in sets of three, each bangle is wrapped with African fabric in beautiful colors and patterns. [...]
Welcome to National Volunteer Month! You guys should know by now that I don’t need a designated month to discuss the importance of serving our communities but I’ll take any platform that I can get. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported in February that over 64 million people volunteered with at least one organization between September 2010 and September 2011. And, of those volunteers, the average person served over 50 hours. You shouldn’t need [...]
It’s funny how life works. From the ages of 4 to 19, I spent the majority of my life wearing glasses. Then, I decided that I was over it. I was over being four-eyed. I was over having my glasses fog up when I went from the Chicago cold air into a warm building. And, I was over not being able to see when I opened my eyes in the morning. So, needless to say, [...]
