Things I'm loving this week...
charity: water
charity: water is a non-profit organization that brings clean drinking water to people in developing nations. We were introduced to this amazing cause by Bia + Steve, the wonderful couple we photographed in Philly (you'll be seeing more of them very soon!). Check out charity: water's website HERE and find out how you can help!
Pirate's Booty, Pom Pomegranate Lychee Green Tea, 100 Calorie Milk Chocolate Covered Pretzels
I can't live without my snacks. They help me work better and more efficiently ;) The 3 below are my current favorites. YUM.
The Big Picture
The Big Picture is an incredible photo blog by the Boston Globe that focuses on current events and more. The images are moving and powerful. See them for yourself HERE.
Envirosax Reusable Shopping Bags
I really want these super cute, eco-friendly shopping bags. Now I just need to figure out which design and styles to choose!
Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago, Ra Ra Riot's The Rhumb Line, and Thievery Corporation
I have to have music on at all times. It gets me through the day. I've had Bon Iver and Ra Ra Riot's latest albums on repeat in my iTunes. My new favorite songs: Skinny Love and Can You Tell. And of course, all of the Thievery Corporation albums are on rotation...they're my favorite.
Something I'm NOT loving right now...flying stand-by. I was supposed to meet the hubby down in Austin this past weekend (he's there for work), but the flights were too full and I would've had to wait in Newark airport for 6 hrs. So yeah, I'm bummed and I miss him. Thankfully, he's coming home tomorrow and I don't have to whine anymore :)
Hope everyone's having a great week!

Great blog post! Those pretzels are my fav too! I also love to learn about new charities, thanks for posting that.
Well that stinks about the flight!
I just had to comment about 2 of the things you love: Pirate's Booty and Envirosax. Pirate's Booty is meth to me. I love it. I can go through a bag of it in less than 10 minutes (and that's only because I know it is not appropriate to eat it all in one minute). It is so freakin' good. I love it. I dream about it. I want to hug it.
As for Envirosax... I love that they're building up so much street cred around the internet. I've seen people blogging about them more and more. I got a set of them last year and LOVE THEM. Because they roll up so small, I carry one in my purse with me at all times. I get oodles of compliments and they are really sturdy. I believe they can hold up to 25 lbs? Believe me, I have tested their durability.
mary - i know, aren't those pretzels divine? they're the perfect combination of sweet and salty.
kim - i'm so happy you share my addiction to pirate's booty! drew and i have to buy 2 bags at a time b/c we fight over who gets to hold the bag. and YES, i'm glad to know you have envirosax bags and love them! i can't remember what site i saw them on, but now that i have reassurance from you, i'm sold. thanks for the info! they're all so cute - i can't decide which set to buy...
I LOVE Pirate's Booty! I was introduced in college...and it's just gone down hill from there. :)
