Bergamot Massage Oil.

I woke up to 35º weather this morning and cold weather means one very gross thing: dry skin. I could never seem to find a lotion that provided enough moisture. One day I randomly brought it up while getting a manicure and the technician mentioned mixing a few drops of massage oil in with your body lotion each day. Wow! It makes a huge difference and this bergamot massage oil from The Body Shop smells so terrific that I don’t even need to wear perfume.

Wrist Worms.

Loving these wrist worms for so many reasons. Our office has been chilly lately, so they’d be perfect to wear/accessorize with for work. They come in tons of different colors and styles, too!

Happy Weekend.

First off, Roxy and I have neglected to thank you for all the well wishes sent her way while she was under the weather. After some meds she’s back in top form again, wrestling her brother and “functioning” properly. (Thanks to kitty laxatives!)

Second, have a fantastic weekend full of fall and pre-Halloween activities. I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t decorate the inside of my house this year, only the porch with some pumpkins and crimson colored mums. And I’ve eaten most of the candy I bought for the trick or treaters and need to stock up again this weekend before all the good stuff is gone!

This Weekend:
• restock candy supply
• hit up a bake sale with my mom
• clean
• groceries – my cupboards are close to bare!
• change out summer for winter clothes in my closet – YAY!
• work on painting china cabinet (the never-ending project!!)
• find something to bake for work on Halloween
• out with C & K
• catch up one some sleepin’!

Happy Weekend!

Rapid Change in Design.

Rapid Change in Design (The Changing Landscape & New Rules for Design Project) is a side job my co-worker, Chris, put together in collaboration with our design shop, Hester Designs. I really dig his graphics and the viewpoint that the ultimate goal behind any design – graphic, architectural, web, etc – is to solve a problem. Not design for the sake of designing. Take a look-see and put in your two cents on the topic!

Design is a continuous evolution. Things are changing at rapid speeds, and rapid change calls for us to change the way that we design. This project looks to stimulate that change.

A-Z Animal Flashcards.

A set of these A-Z Animal Flashcards framed and hung on a child’s bedroom wall? So cool.

From Anteaters to Zebras, each letter of the alphabet is paired with a detail of the animal along with the upper and lowercase letters. The backs of the cards show a silhouette of the full animal and an interesting fact about its unique feature. For example, did you know, rabbits can see behind them without even turning their heads? Illustrations are by Mark Fisher.
