While my family was in town for Thanksgiving, we spent Friday afternoon in Boulder. While we were there we had lunch at The West End Tavern. The West End Tavern serves yummy home style cuisine in a fun rooftop setting. It was a crisp day but the rooftop heaters kept us warm and toasty. It was nice to sit outside with a fabulous view of the mountains – the sun shining on our faces.
Next time you visit Boulder stop in for a organic beer, sustainable wine and delicious meal at The West End Tavern.
If you are like me, you may have dresses in your closet from your prom or other formal event from your teen years? Please tell me I am not the only one who still has dresses in my closet from then? Why I held on to them for this long is beyond me, but there they are collecting dust and taking up space in my closet. I found a great way for these dresses to make their way across the dance floor again. Donate My Dress is the first national campaign designed to encourage girls around the country to donate their prom and special occasion dresses to those who cannot afford them for their prom, sweet 16, quinceanera or other formal event. You can donate a dress or receive one through Donate My Dress. If you have a dress to donate or are in need of a dress, click here. {Luckily all of my formal dresses were very simple and classic looking, so I think girls today would enjoy them as much as I did.} I will be donating my dresses, will you?
As a kid growing up in the 80’s, I loved to skateboard. I still remember my hot pink panther board – it was my favorite thing! To this day whenever we pass the skate park, I have to stop and reminisce – hoping that Eben will take up skateboarding, soon!
When I came across Seven Ply, named after the seven layers of a skateboard deck, I freaked out. Seven Ply transforms old, broken, beat-up skateboard decks into Earth friendly jewelry and accessories that are fun and one of a kind. The designer and owner Lynn is married to a skateboarder and raising a little skateboarder, Elijah Hurricane. Lynn motto is that she is turning thrash’n into fashion. Her product line includes bangle bracelets, necklaces, studs, belt buckles, earrings, and pocket mirrors. The graphics and colors are amazing and the end product is rad. If you grew up in the 80’s or love skateboarding or both, Seven Ply is for you.
Seven Ply has been amazing to offer ONE of my readers a super fun bangle bracelet.

Our pets explore the world around them with their mouths -they walk outside through pesticides and chemicals without the protection of shoes. Then, they clean themselves with their tongues and chew on toys that contain heavy metals, chemical dyes and plasticizers. Not good. What can you do?
