Mayamiko is a registered non-profit organization based in Malawi where well over half of the population live in poverty (source Mayamiko site). Mayamiko really believes the key to start a positive cycle to lift people out of poverty is education and that is what they provide to the participants in the Mayamiko Trust.

I came across a post on Dumb Little Man titled “Little Words with Absolutely Huge Meaning: Use Them,” and it got me thinking.

How about you? Here are the top 5 little phrases to use more quoted from Dumb Little Man’s post. Thank you… View Post

Discovered on Storage Geek this image from the Bregenz Festival in Austria on The Telegraph. The Bergenz Festival is a performance art festival held during July and August in Bregenz and they have become very famous for the Seebühne (or floating stage).

What I Wore-Bag of the Moment

/ / 14 Comments
I’m a bit of a serial bag monogamist. I tend to get incredibly infatuated with one bag and love it till it falls apart then move on to the next. At the moment I’m obsessed with this tote that my dear mamacita gave me years ago. I am loving the message, the strong graphic lettering, and the red, white and blue. The quote on the bag is by John F. Kennedy. My mama has spent her life trying to make… View Post

One of my besties works at the wonderful world of tumblr and to celebrate the end of  Internet Week New York tumblr threw a little celebration at the Hudson Hotel.

Big book crush alert! I stumbled on a Q &A with Jonathan Peter Balcombe the author of The Exultant Ark: A Pictorial Tour of Animal Pleasure on Wired (article here) and was clicking away to find out more and more about this book.

What I Wore-Free Pile Dress

So friends, a little while back I won this at Meredith’s blog yours, mine, & ours. Well, actually I didn’t quite win that exactly. I won this: One of Meredith’s frees pile finds, a skirt labeled 3X. I pretty consistently wear a small or medium so this skirt is about 5 times my size; it dropped right to the floor when not held up. But Meredith did me a solid with picking out a free pile item with a pattern… View Post
