Thank you so much for all the love on yesterday's post, the first in the new "Conscious Consumerism" series. This will not necessarily be a regular series, but definitely a focus throughout the year.
One of the complaints I hear is that sometimes the items that I'm talking about (Toms shoes, 31Bits necklaces, etc.) have an "earthy" vibe, not polished or sophisticated. I would have to agree to that to some extent, but I also think that is what can make them so special. A worldly element. A conversation starter. Something different. (my high school dance team's motto WAS "Dare to be Different" & I still embrace it!)

We had had this planned for weeks & 10 minutes before we started shooting it started snowing! We all stared at the fat, sloppy flakes in amazement, sure that we would only get 10 minutes or so before they stopped. But it turned into a freak snowstorm, lasting for hours & quickly covering the ground in beautiful white blankets. A tad cold, but the most magical backdrop & light! We were a first time team, but everyone worked so great together, numb fingers are not so much of a bother when you are having so much fun!
