someday...

three things...

my favorite five... posts seem to have become five things I see browsing around; quotes, inspiration, things I might like to have. Decided I would start another theme on things I have that I really love. Part of this comes as I am trying to simplify, to whittle down my belongings to fewer things, to ones that I really love, use or that have a special meaning.

While I have been both very particular about what I like and wanting to simplify for quite some time, when I came across Cayuna's tag line, it really resonated with me: Fewer, Better Things. Of course, I buy things on a whim / fad here and there but I'd love to spend my money on classic, timeless, great quality items. Finding a simple, classic tote in nice leather without a bunch of frivolous details and in a shade that goes with everything? Count me in! I got this a few weeks ago and it is PERFECT!

I love something with a purpose! There is a great little store I always visit on vacation called Backwater Trading Company in Edgartown, Massachusetts. They always have such a fun selection of clothes and accessories, my favorite is the jewelry. Last year I got Peacebomb bracelets, made of actual bombs we dropped in Laos. By buying them, you are basically buying back the bombs, supporting the artisans  and helping de-mine Laos(check out them out). This year, I got Simbi Clay bracelets made in Haiti. Each bracelet provides 15 sustainable jobs. 

I am always looking for a simple, light moisturizer that works. I think I found it with First Aid Beauty's Ultra Repair Face Moisturizer. I also have the Ultra Repair Hydra-firm Sleeping Cream, which works great! I can't wait to try some of their other stuff!

some days...
