Check out the Wilco photo contest winners!

Hey everyone

We donated shoes for the second Wilco Photo Contest - and those guys got back some killer winning photographs from their fanboys and girls. I am not sure which is my favorite - i am a bit biased with the kid drummer being a skin banger myself ..... i can't believe i just said that.

Wilco is one of our favorite bands ever! - if you didn't already know.

bless the tinies.

This just in from one of our reps, Aaron:

If this shop was Wheel of Fortune, I think that would make Logan an incredibly cute Vanna White?

bags, bags, bags...

 
Me and plastic bags... I can't stop blogging about it. 

Did you know that worldwide, about 1 million plastic bags are used every minute?  Most of these are regular old grocery bags, but there's a whole bunch of other types of bags that are included in those... today, I'm thinking about sandwich bags... those delightfully helpful little ziploc baggies that are used for everything from storing leftover pasta sauce for the freezer to packing a sandwich for lunch.  Sure they're convenient, but is that really the best solution to packing up snacks or leftovers? 

Nope.

If you're looking at foods that don't need to be heated (like donuts, cookies, or pb&j), try packing them in reusable plastic containers (I get the heebie jeebies about these still... considering all the nasty stuff that offputs from these little plastic tubs).  If you can handle the weight, there are some pretty nice (albeit heavy) containers made of pyrex.  Wash them out when you're done... then keep reusing them!  Besides being better than throwing out a couple of plastic bags every day, you'll save a bit of cash.  Those plastic baggies add up when you're blowing through a couple of them every day.

hugs,
cielo

another reason to save the polar bears - a new series by your friends at Simple

Hello

We love polar bears! They are cute, huge, can survive in crazy cold climates!

If you don't think saving the polar bear is a good idea for the sake of saving an entire species, then maybe not being able to do this will give you reason enough -

more reason to save the polar bears coming soon...

i think our lawyers might ask me to say that we do not endorse the teasing, torture, entrapment, or harrassing of animals...we REALLY don't. But the video is there, and well, it is kind of funny.
