Affordable Luxury-Faux Fox Throw
We don't know about you, but we totally have frugality fatigue.
Like everyone else, we've cut back in our spending considerably, and we mean, REALLY, REALLY cut back. The kind of cut back where life stops being fun!
While there is some joy in seeing how many ways you can save money, there's a lot more joy in spending a little on yourself once in a while. It doesn't have to be a lot. Sometimes just something simple like a new lipstick could just make your day.
This year we are starting a new category called Affordable Luxury. It's our version of a new lipstick. You know, little things that don't cost much but make your life a bit more cheerful? Something that gives you a high, however temporary?
Our first item:
This faux fox throw is from Wildcat Territory. It's 80" x 48" and costs $399. We love it accross a chair, a chaise or a bed. It adds instant luxury to a room, but most importantly, because it's so soft and fuzzy, it's great for a cold day.

Where Our Trash Went...
We once had a friend who went environ-MENTAL on us all of the sudden--and quite forcefully at it.
Have you had one of those? You know, the kind that monitor your plastic bag usage? The kind that only let you use two squares of toilet paper at a time, and only if it's a number two? The kind that if you stay at his house, shower is limited to a minute and a half?
Well, it was no fun hanging out with someone like that, but reading this LA Times article makes us wonder if he does have a point. The article is about how trash is being disposed after it left our homes.
Some of the main points in the article:
1) The amount of waste we generated is enormous and permanent. More and more landfills are filling up and new spaces are needed.
2) We consume more alcohol and eat less healthy than we are willing to admit.
3) We waste a lot of food. 10% of garbage is edible food, and there is no discernible difference between the rich and the poor.

It really makes you think about how much we consume and how much we waste, doesn't it?

Color Story: Black, Gold and White
We're just in the mood for something cheerful this time of year. Something that's a little unusual, a little daring, a little fun...
w about something in black, white and yellow? It's like, having some permanent sunshine-plus, it's a killer color-combination too. Very dramatic & glamorous.
