This cool info-graphic on the health benefits of beer only seemed appropriate today…you know, just in case any of you were considering partaking in some St. Patrick’s Day festivities! Enjoy your green beer!
Also, you can follow along at Fast Company for their cool info-graphics of the day.

our work: one nineteen shopping center e-blast 03.16.2011

>

We thought it would be fun to share some of our actual work here on the blog. We were recently hired to put together a monthly trend round-up for One Nineteen, a shopping center here in Kansas City (Leawood, Kansas, to be exact). The super intense colors that are emerging in spring 2011 fashion  were our inspiration! We were so excited to see a ton of brights in the One Nineteen shops …and  might’ve just wanted to buy one of everything for ourselves! So, shopping for the trends and sharing them with everyone else? Kind of our dream job! Needless to say, we LOVED working on this fun little project!

One Nineteen has such great retail stores and restaurants and it’s only getting better and better: coming soon are Trader Joe’s, Standard Style and Baldwin Denim.  If any of you are interested in signing up, you can become a One Nineteen VIP and get our eBlasts delivered straight to your inbox every month! Just sign up here.

going green: one love organics 03.14.2011

>

We’re not usually as obsessed with beauty products as we should be, but this new line of organic skin care products is doing all the right things for us. We haven’t gotten a chance to try One Love Organics for ourselves yet, but their simple philosophy (“four products is all it takes”) along with their pure, organic ingredients makes skin care seem natural and easy. Something we can actually wrap our minds around…AND at the same time, know we are not harming the environment or any animals by supporting this company. They are accredited by PETA and The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. And if all of this isn’t enough, the packaging (designed by one of our former colleagues and friends, Kendra Inman) is so darn beautiful, it would just be a pretty thing to wake up and go to bed to each night. We are totally sold! Cannot wait to get our hands on the starter kit!
