I’m currently reading 29 Gifts by Cami Walker.  It’s a fabulous book – uplifting and great for the soul.  Cami has MS and has found that through giving to others her health has drastically improved.  It is amazing how being in the giving spirit, being positive and thinking of others before yourself you can change your life.

This book is a great read to get the new year started off on the right foot

I just love Stella McCartney’s line for Gap Kids.  The clothes aren’t just the typical classic Gap look – they have a fun flare to them – ballet tutu skirts, vintage looking British army jackets – super cute and fun stuff for little ones!  The great news is that she’s going to do another line with them which will of course still be fur and leather free!

These bags by Corx are so cool!  I love how unique they are!  What a creative idea to use cork as an alternative to leather!

• Easy to clean
• Stain and scratch resistant
• Water resistant
• Lightweight
• Impervious to fading
• Tolerant to extreme heat
• Unique due to the nature of cork
• Environmentally friendly
• Versatile, they go with everything!

Do you still go to the circus?   Have you ever thought about how they get those cute yet wild animals to do the tricks they do?  It’s actually pretty disgusting and CRUEL as you can see above!  Please, please, do not support circuses!  If you want to learn more click on the photo above.  If you want to take action, write to USDA officials and urge them to revoke Ringling’s license and pursue criminal prosecution of Ringling’s trainers today!   There is an easy on-line form to use – you must speak-up if you want this to change!

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy Holidays!!
