Lipstick Lifestyle

We have to admit that magazines are our vice - thick, glossy ones with loads of beauty and fashion spreads. The challenge is that they are stacked in piles all over the place. When we try and find the magazine with that fantastic beauty article, we just don’t know where we put it. How frustrating! (more…)

Are you thinking about 2009? Probably not. It’s hard to think of anything other than just enjoying the last few days of summer. But, if you love to be organized or even want to get started on your dreaded holiday shopping, the creative people at Egg Press have just designed their Offset Printed 2009 Calendar. Each features 12 colorful pages, printed on recycled content paper with soy inks (each page is 4 5/8″ x 5 3/8″). These fun and funky calendars will brighten up any desk.

Say hello to a sleek and sexy 2009.

Isn’t it nice to sometimes sit quietly and jot down your ideas, thoughts and dreams? In this day and age of the computer, we don’t really embrace note taking. Ecojot is all about the hand written word and has a large range of notebooks, journals and agendas for you to do just that.

Ecojot’s designer, Carolyn Gavin, has produced a delightful variety of bright, whimsical and sophisticated designs for every taste. Each item is made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper and printed using harmless vegetable-based ink. We are especially fond of the Nature collection (available in a 5×7 journal, 6×9 jumbo and a 6×9 agenda) that has us daydreaming about strolling through a country meadow on a summer’s day, with flowers swirling around our legs.

Next time you are busily typing out your grocery list on your tiny Blackberry keyboard, think that you could be writing in a pretty, environmentally friendly notebook.
