Fabulous Finds and Worthy Causes.

Ok, dear readers, I still have an upcoming surprise to show you later on this week, but until that's ready, here are a few sites that I have to share.

The first is a webzine created and run by one of the most original girls I've ever met. Miseducated.net is a great place to read up on a bit of whimsy and build community with creative chicas from around the globe. Be sure to check out the penpal cafe where you can post a personal ad for your very own snail mail pal.

Next up, a fabulous find and worthy cause combined into one. Found thru MadebyGirl's blog, Improv Everywhere is a group dedicated to spreading joy thru random and massive acts of hilarity. Spend some time browsing their many 'missions' including the Look Up More dance sequence. In the meantime, here's a taste:


[FYI: I plan on participating in this one next year since I'll be in Chicago and actually have access to a subway.]

And finally, the sexiest of the worthy causes, a commercial deemed too scandalous for the Superbowl:


I'm seriously contemplating going full veggie [and not just for better sex], I've been slowly making the transition for years and I'm thinking of kicking it into high gear soon.

I'll keep you posted.

sweet like sugar, salty like soy.

First, another adorable Etsy find: CozyMoments bath goodies.
My favorite? The buttercream scented cupcake soap.


I haven't tried it yet, but it just might be my next Etsy order.

Up next: two design projects.

The first is a mock up for a GoVeg.com infographic ad.
[Can you tell I got to pick the subject matter?] I'm actually pretty proud of my little concept. And pretty impressed with my pen tool progress as well.



And, of course, there's Apple #5, or rather 'Apple: submerged'.


I included pink in the design in honor of it being due on Valentine's Day.

And speaking of Valentine's Day, mine was spent with sushi, sweets, and sugary cinema.




Lauren and I spent the evening watching chick flicks in front of a platter of delicious sushi rolls and followed it up with wine, cupcakes and spiked hot cocoa [though not in that order].

Stay tuned later this week for one of the best Etsy finds yet...it's a surprise that's very near and dear to my ♥. ;)
