Spice Your Lunch Bag Up with a Fun Tote

By Jennifer Andrews | Published February 4th, 2010

My good friend, Ashley, and I have more than in common than we ever knew!  Both of our moms have the same inherent ability to pick up something insanely useful and yet totally chic for their daughters (us!). Case in point: our awesome Blue Q lunch bags that we are both slightly obsessed with. The bags are cool because they are reusable (also made from recycled materials!) and allow us add a little bit of style to an otherwise boring lunch tote. I swear I get more compliments on my “Owl” tote than I could ever imagine…and I love it. Thanks Mom! Blue Q has a great selection of lunch bags you can find here.

Put a Little Spring in Your Step with Essie!

By Jennifer Andrews | Published February 3rd, 2010

Every year right around this time I get super over the cold winter weather and long for sunny spring days when wearing bright colors is almost mandatory and a tan is commonplace. While it’s not time for that just yet, Essie’s new Spring 2010 line of gorgeously fresh and eye-catching colors makes me think that with any of these shades on my nails, I am only moments away from stepping onto the beach (even if the reality is a bit further than I would like to believe…). Ahhhhh lovely. Take me away now, Essie! Buy here.
