Today, I realized that the only holiday card that I received was from the bar where I work. And, while that makes this card even more important to me, it made me wonder if sending holiday cards via snail mail was becoming obsolete. As a fan of e-cards and actual cards, I can argue the virtues of both. But, seeing as how Christmas is four days away, some of you who’ve been stalling on mailing [...]

October is more than halfway over, but don’t lose your breast cancer awareness momentum! Most of the pink offerings by your favorite brands are month-long endeavors, meaning that you can still show your support. Here are some of my picks to get you through the end of the month (at least)! Bobbi Brown Cosmetics – Help kiss breast cancer goodbye with this limited-edition lip color set ($40). The lip gloss/lip balm duo will benefit the [...]

Luxury brand, Salvatore Ferragamo, is showing its support of breast cancer awareness month by creating a special line of fabulous pink merchandise. Unfortunately, the items will only be available at select Ferragamo stores in Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Japan, and Australia. The funds raised will support breast cancer organizations in those countries. I have to admit that I’m a little heartbroken that I won’t have an opportunity to purchase those amazing pink stilettos. Not that [...]

Hey, guys…October is a very special month for me! Aside from being the birth month of myself, my 3 besties, my nephew and ALL the cool kids, it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. One of the awesome things about BC Awareness is that so many companies join in and support the cause with limited-edition products and services designed to kick up some funds and awareness to the issue. I’ve decided to put together a Guide [...]

At BowlHer, there was a great reward awaiting anyone who bowled a strike…A bottle of ONEHOPE chardonnay! While this was music to my ears because I enjoy an occasional (*cough*) glass of wine, I was also thrilled because our particular wine promoted breast cancer awareness. Launched in April 2006, the wine has been building buzz across the country for its flavorful tastes and fundraising efforts. For each bottle purchased, the company donates 50% to a [...]

On Sunday, I spent my day walking around the city and checking out events held by two great organizations! First, I payed a visit to The 900 Shops on North Michigan Avenue. Bright Pink was hosting its charity shopping event, and I stopped by to grab some pictures and say “Hi!” From the giant sign out front to the smiling volunteer wearing a pink shirt, there was no mistaking the point of this day. DONATE…SHOP…SAVE…ENJOY! [...]

Four years ago, my former professor/mentor said to me, “You know one thing that I never saw coming? Wearing t-shirts with random sayings on them. I just don’t get it.” And, we had a great laugh about it. But, in all actuality, tees with catchphrases or eye-grabbing logos/designs have virtually cemented themselves in our society. I mean, how many different versions of Obama shirts exist in the world? From school pride to peaceful demonstrations, here [...]

Another great jewelry find via Twitter! The Jessica Matrasko Jewelry collection is not only beautiful but it’s creative as well! Jessica often uses stones, leaves, minerals and other natural elements to feature, often times preserving the items in 24k gold. Her designs are all named after a friend or family member who has inspired her, and she regularly donates proceeds from certain items to charitable organizations. Take the beautiful necklace below…Twenty percent of the proceeds [...]
