What a happy holiday: Terra Plana, pleather and recycled bangle bracelets

I had such a nice Christmas this year. It was a whirlwind of Midwest roadtripping (to Colorado, then to Oklahoma), but we were fortunate to avoid any snow-sasters, such as is covering Kansas City right now.

Cause-metics

I admit it — I fall in love easily. Every new socially-aware business model I come across is the “best” I’ve ever seen. But that’s because there are so many fantastic ones out there!
