My support for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is all but absolute: I rarely ask questions if Sean or the CFF asks me to donate/participate/join in an event/fundraiser/hair-brained scheme. So I joined the Seananigans team a) because I love a pun, b) because I love Sean, and c) without any context as to what I was joining.…

ALLLLL the yoga teachers! (UPDATED)
This feels like an embarrassment of riches. There is literally not enough time in the day to do all the yoga with all the teachers I have loved and lost when I moved away. The quarantine’s silver lining is that they’re back and zoom classes are the only option so I get to experience the…

How cool is this? Schoola.com resells clothes and proceeds support different causes that schools are championing—so schools host used-clothing drives, mail in the clothes, they’re sold online, and proceeds go back to the school. So Athleta, well, we all know Athleta (some of my fave workout shorts)—premium athletic wear line from the Banana Republic/Gap/Old Navy…
Run Janji: An Interview With the Founder
If there’s anything I love, it’s shopping for a good cause (see: Sevenly). I recently had the pleasure of being introduced to Dave Spandorfer by Jiabei Chen of Ampere. The 25-year-old and his college cross country and track teammate Mike Burnstein launched Janji, a running apparel supplier that benefits countries in need in May of…
Austin: Fall Restaurant Week
It’s officially fall everywhere. I thought I could fight it by wearing sundresses with cardis and boots, embracing the afternoon sun and ignoring the evening chill in Aspen, and generally pretending like it wasn’t happening (denial is what we call that), but this week I’ve slowly come around. I mean, even Austin is admitting it…

Starbucks + Opportunity Finance Network
I recently participated in a conference call with BlogHer, Starbucks Chairman and CEO Howard Schultz, and Starbucks Global Chief Marketing Officer Annie Young-Scrivner about their new Create Jobs for USA initiative that launched yesterday. You buy this (very cute) wristband for $5 and it’s all donated to a fund at the Opportunity Finance Network for capital grants to local…

I get unbelievable amounts of compliments on my JewelMint earrings. I literally have NEVER worn these and NOT been complimented on them. These new babies just arrived in the mail and I’m certain they will receive much love too: And so you can get in on the goodness, I have a new discount code for…
