"Action 10: Hang Your Wash out to Dry"

"As you hang your pants in the breeze, remember that just one load of laundry in the dryer uses enough energy to make 250 pieces of toast- a savings of up to $100 a year."
(This action in from the book Change the World for Ten Bucks)

It's Another Gloomy Day

Today I am home sick and I cannot tell you the last time I stayed home because I was under the weather. The headache, my nauseated stomach, and another day of no sun has kept me in bed all day. I guess to look at the sunny side, I can finally catch up on all of my blogging and emails. I hope the rest of you are having a better day! All I can do today is pray for sunshine tomorrow!

Another Birthday

Another birthday for another beautiful friend of mine! Meghan is the leader of the pack and is the first one to hit the "old" age of 24, yikes! We are getting old and I only say that because in about two months I will be the same age. I am so excited to celebrate tonight! I made reservations at my new favorite hang out, Katie's Pizzeria! And I am even more excited because I have a few surprises up my sleeve that I will share with you all later. For now, Happy Birthday Meghan and thanks for always being such a wonderful friend!

P.S. Another happy day for my friends graduating from Mizzou. Congratulations to Becky and Christine! Cheers!

Lonny 4





For those of you who are unfamiliar with Lonny, I feel delighted to introduce you to her! Lonny is a rather new online magazine, very comparable to my past love, Domino. Lonny's mission is to allow readers to access designs at the click of a button, directly linking them to desired products and resources. Lonny believes in creating lovely looks for affordable prices, also giving many helpful how-to's and DIY projects. The above images are pictures from Michelle Adam's (Lonny's chief editor) sustainably charming New York apartment. Michelle's adorable, yet equally eco-friendly apartment is simply inspiring. From the ostrich wallpaper to the deep charcoal wall color, from the fun framed large photos to the flowered headboard, Michelle Adams chose each one of these household items with a conscious mind. Thanks Michelle for all of your green charm!
