$150 LovingEco Giveaway!

I'm excited to be partnering with LovingEco, a sample sale site à la Gilt Groupe or Joss & Main for environmentally friendly clothing, decor, and jewelry. Each week they have four eco-friendly brands plus a charity that benefits from all purchases made that week. A sample sale site that makes it easy to go green and that gives back? Sign. Me. Up!



My favorite brand this week is Dirty Librarian Chains, a one-of-a-kind jewelry company whose pieces are all handmade in Brooklyn. The mixed metal pieces really couldn't be more perfect for fall, don't you agree? They're also giving us a sneak peek of Thursday's sale on Me+You bags. I don't need to tell you how awesome it is that every purchase benefits this week's charity, Stand Up To Cancer!

First things first! Your comments yesterday were literally the highlight of my week. It was such a joy to get to know each one of you a little better and to read all about your bucket lists, dream jobs, and weekend plans. I read every single questionnaire with a smile on my face. You are such an inspiring bunch and I am so grateful that you show up here each day! Thank you so much.
Moving right along, the lucky winner of the Effie's Paper giveaway is #46, Tamra of Walks With Bella! Please email me so I can put you in touch with the lovely Kalyn. Congratulations! 


Lastly, thank God it's Friday. Can you say "longest week ever?" A couple late nights at work and the subsequent shortage of sleep have me more eager than ever for the weekend! I'll be reuniting with lots of Bucknell friends for a birthday party tonight and spending the rest of my weekend hanging with my family and tackling what seems to be a never-ending weekend to do list. Based on yesterday's responses, it sounds like you'll all have plenty to keep you busy as well! Have a good one, friends!

So tell me about yourself.

One of the many reasons why I blog is that I love connecting with like-minded people. Nearly every blogger I have met in real life has turned out to be a dear friend and a true inspiration. Most of them are extremely caring, driven, and passionate people and I am lucky to have them in my life. Since it's impossible to be able to connect with every single one of you, I thought it would be fun to turn the tables today and ask you a few questions about yourself so I can get to know you and you can get to know each other. Maybe if you dig it we'll make it a regular event around here!
