here’s a new clothing line that is not only stylish but also socially conscious.  nau is run by a small group of people who are “committed to the power of business as a force of change.”  the goal is to “demonstrate the highest levels of citizenship in everything we do.”  now that’s something i’ll dress to!

make sure to check out their *thought kitchen* and *the collective* – it’s something we can all benefit from!

This book sounds very intriguing.  Called, Mosquito, it reminds us how love can exist even in the most difficult circumstances.  I haven’t read it yet, but i was drawn to the story and was impressed with the fact that a portion of the proceeds will go to the Medical Foundation — an organization that helps victims of torture.  What a wonderful collaboration!
