Paperblanks journal
A good journal, like a man, is hard to come by. I don’t waste any time looking anymore. Paperblanks journals have lines with the perfect amount of space, beautifully decorated designs, a magnet on the cover to keep your journal closed, a ribbon bookmark to keep your place, and my favorite, a pocket on the back cover to hold important notes that pertain to whatever you need to write. I should have stock in this company!
Women for Women
I need perspective every so often to remind me that whatever drama I think I’m dealing with, there is always another woman who needs more than me. When I watched a 60 Minutes piece on the rape and pillage that occurs every minute in Congo, I knew I had to do something. Since I try to choose a new organization to support every year, I decided that I would spend the little bit of $27 per month to sponsor a women in Congo who has been raped in order to give her a future she deserves. This monthly purchase brings me more peace of mind and happiness than any trendy indulgence ever could.
See, shopping can buy you happiness … meaningful shopping that is.
