You Can Recycle That: Strings of Holiday Lights

As you're taking down the tree and holiday decorations during your annual bout of S.A.D., don't be so quick to throw out all of the faulty strings of Christmas lights! Believe it or not, those lights can be recycled.

Not only will you feel good about keeping your lights out of a landfill, but you'll receive a coupon for 25% off a purchase of (eco-friendlier) LED Christmas lights. It's a great deal for you and the environment!

Bye Bye {r}ev!

I was sad to read today that {r}evolution apparel, the team behind one of my favorite garments, and a big source of inspiration for me to start shopping and dressing smarter, are closing up shop. I'm sad to see them go, but can't wait to see what they do next. If you don't have a Versalette yet, order one now before it's too late!

The Versalette is an ethically-made, one-size-fits-all garmet that can be worn in a variety of styles

I rocked my Versalette all summer!

It's Giving Tuesday?

It's come to my attention that today is "Giving Tuesday." A day of giving is a welcome alternative to the more Get-Themed Black and Cyber days.

Today, I'll donate money to provide Lifestraws to children and families without access to clean drinking water (donate here) and drop off a trunk-load of clothes and winter coats to a Buffalo-area shelter. I'll also puruse the Giving Tuesday website for more ideas about how I can give to others today and every day. I hope you'll do the same.
