Otis Redding & Sam Cooke

Every morning I sit at my desk, sort through e-mails & listen to the messages. This sets the tone of how the rest of my day is going to be. This also makes my musical decision for me. It seems like today may be a lot like yesterday and yesterday was a Otis Redding & Sam Cooke kind of day. Nothing is more soothing than their voices. Sometimes during a stressful day at work.. I like to zone out and day dream about being back in PA with my record player while listening to these two men on vinyl. Yes, I truly believe everything sounds better on vinyl. I imagine sitting on the couch relaxing with a glass of white wine while my ears enjoy the beautiful music. Then I snap back to reality and realize I'll probably go home tonight and listen to it off my itunes while drinking a pbr. Oh well.. it was still nice to "zone out" for a moment.

Tis the season...

It's summer and what does that mean? Lots of traveling! Which means lots of packing and unpacking. I'm still in search of the perfect carry-on. However, since it's summer I can get away with my LL Bean canvas tote. Not only is it durable but it's easy to fit in the overhead compartment. So until I can afford my Louie duffel bag.. I'm stuck with this beauty...


Any suggestions for luggage? What's your favorite bag to travel with?

Tranquil Terra

I get up early on weekday mornings and head into work bright and early. I do this so I can "settle" into work. As I enjoy the silence of the office before everyone else arrives.. I like to drink tea, sometimes nibble on a sour gummy worm & read all my favorite blogs. One of my best & oldest friend has a wonderful blog called Tranquil Terra. It's what I like to call a little green guide! Arielle is soo passionate about the environment that she decided to start blogging about it! Please check it out... Tranquil Terra.

Take me out!

Does your jewelry need a home?

Mine does! I'd like my jewelry to live on those branches or in that dish! Looks like this two items need to go on to buy list.

Whole Foods

I have a hard time leaving the office or lunch. Part of it is being lazy but the other part of it is because I'm always very busy. We also have a pesky bird that lives in the trees outside our building and the bird is a pain in the butt.. it attacks everyone's heads! I've been on this Whole Foods soup kick on and off for awhile. I'm obsessed with the soups there! I'm lucky there's a Whole Foods by my work. It's a 5 minute walk away! If you reuse your old whole foods bag you get 5 cents off your purchase! It's the perfect quick lunch outing.. I get exercise, I get to escape from the office, i get to eat something I love & I'm able to semi help the environment (while getting a tiny discount!).

Water Bobble

Think of all that bottled water you drink on a daily basis. Haven't you always wished that someone would come out with a
water bottle that filters the water as you drink it? Thankfully the water bobble was invented! One of my friends introduced
me to the water bobble. It's perfect! You can fill it with tap water and when you go to drink it.. it's filtering the water for you!
The best part about it is.. it's only $9.95! Check it out at waterbobble!
