LILY & LAURA

The newest arm candy in town...
I love these beaded 'slide-on' bracelets. What makes these so unique is they are hand-made by women in Kathmandu Valley (located in Nepal). As stated on their website, www.LilyandLaura.com, "Our business focus is to pay more than fair trade wages to our artisans in Nepal thereby improving the quality of their lives while providing you with beautiful, top quality, handcrafted glass beaded bracelets." With prices ranging from $10-$15 per bracelet- they are also very affordable. So not only are they good for your wallet- but good for the women making these, as well! No two bracelets are the same so these are fun and unique pieces to make a statement with for any outfit.

Who Runs The World? MOMS!

In honor of Mother's Day, I figured I might as well pick up blog posting again...so, I'm Back!! But, I obviously would not be here today without the wonderful, most influential person in my life- my mom. As a very small gesture to display my adoration and affection towards her, I am writing her a personal (yet public) letter below in hopes that it will influence any readers or fellow bloggers to go thank your mom.
