Today, April 30th, is the last day to donate 750 of your Aveda Pure Privilege points and $15 will be donated in your name to their Earth Month Partner, the Global Greengrants Fund, which works to protect clean drinking water for children and their families around the world. Not a member of Aveda Pure Privilege? Go to the Aveda store nearest you and sign up. For each purchase you make, you earn points. Once you sign up for Pure Privilege points, remember that May 11 - 13, you'll get double points in honor of Mother's Day. Your points can then be redeemed for such great rewards as Aveda products, Ben & Jerry's ice cream, spa visits and donations to organizations.
Organic farming also helps to protect clean drinking water. You can support this effort by purchasing products made with such wonderful organic ingredients as lavender. Aveda has created an indulgent line of products made with certified organic lavender from Belgium that includes shampoo, soy wax candles, conditioning treatments for hair, among others. You can sign a petition to the U.N. to ask for their help in making clean water a human right.
Isn't it nice when shopping for wonderful things for yourself (or mom!) can translate into helping others? Go, Aveda!

Why the latest spring fashions, of course! Black and white are making a statement for spring. But don’t think simple (as in a black top with white pants) – think bold, as in a black and white print top or jacket paired with a white skirt, or a black and white print dress. Optic prints take the stage to breathe freshness into this classic look. If you want to add a shot of color (like red!), make sure it can hold its own against this powerful pair.

Want to transition your closet into spring gently? It's nice to add a few pieces each season, splurging on those can't-live-without items that really make a statement. It's also nice to fill in the gaps with a few things that just don't cost a lot. Like this cute polka dot top from 
We mama's sure do work hard, taking care of our family and keeping things running smoothly. Then, if there's time left over, we can take care of ourselves. Don't we all know that's not nearly often enough! 
Are you ready for swimsuit season? Me, neither. After just having a baby (well, six months ago) my body is in need of a little firming in certain spots and I'm not quite ready to pull on that swimsuit just yet. At least not until I've had the chance to use some

I just love it when a really great high-end designer teams up with a mass-merchant to bring high-style to an affordable level. Target has done this expertly, in both the apparel and the home field. Seems 
Having a medical condition poses many challenges. For the approximately 100 million people in the US, one of those challenges is wearing an ID tag in case of emergency. ID tags are recommended for those who have diabetes, heart disease, gastric bypass, food and drug allergies, Alzheimer's, epilepsy, transplant patients, and breast cancer patients. Although essential, ID tags are not what most people would call a fashion accessory. Until now, that is. 
I remember my first pair of Cole Haans. They were black, woven flats and I got them while at one of my first jobs just out of college. They were comfortable, as well as stylish, and they went with most things. Cole Haan is, after all, a well-known luxury brand, and I liked sporting something with such a reputation fresh out of school. I felt, well, sophisticated and in the know. 
As a busy mom, I make many a quick stop to pick something up, drop something off, or make a quick dash into the coffee shop for a shot of caffeine. Most times, I have my five-month old son with me, so I like to keep what I carry to a minimum. Since he's fast approaching 18 pounds (yikes!), my biceps get enough of a workout just getting him to and from the car. I don't like to haul any extra baggage with me if I'm just going to pop in and right back out. Plus, I need to keep my hands free (to carry that cup of coffee).
