How Many is Too Many?

lots of purses
How many purses do you have? Come on…You can tell me. It’ll be our little secret.

How many do I have? Oh clever…how about I’ll tell you after you tell me? Deal?

Ladies, is it a hidden secret or a common knowledge that purses are addicting? It’s beyond easy to binge and own several handbags, but how much is really enough?

The truth of the matter, there is NO RIGHT NUMBER! That’s it. It depends on you as a person and your wallet. Can you afford to buy a purse a month? A week? Then go for it…Now if you’re putting your family in debt with your purse habit, then you may want to rethink your priorities, but having multiple purses if you can afford to holds no harm.

Granted, thousands upon thousands of purses is a little sick…And some celebrities, like Mariah Carey and others who own every damn purse imaginable, are slightly sickening…but dipping into the ‘ol pocket book to grab another holds no danger in my eyes.

Generally the average woman owns at least three purses, but more often than not, women will hoard 5-10. This is not devastating…Unless you don’t have somewhere to store them…

Ladies, if your man is giving you gripe about your handbags, tell him, it’s your thing. Sports, beer or Nintendo are his, purses are yours.

Now go get yourself a new handbag!

Give Juice Pouches a Second Home

The juice pouch recycling program was something I first being acquainted with at the elementary school where I worked. I saw a box full of juice pouches and asked my kids why they were being saved. They told me they were being recycled, but I didn’t think Capri Suns were recyclable, so I looked into it.

I was surprised to find out that 3.6 billion juice pouches were being thrown away worldwide each year. Due to this, Terracycle teamed up with Capri Sun and Honest Kids to put an end to the wasted resources. Schools, churches and organizations can enter the Terracycle recycling program. [Terracyle Brigade]

You can enter here and then you just start collecting the pouches. Terracycle will donate $0.02 to the charity, non-profit organization or school of your choice. They’ll send you the containers to collect in and the shipping labels to send them back!

Terracycle then uses the pouches to make backpacks, tote bags, pencil cases and more. Go green and get involved!

What Bag Should I Take to School?

Back to school, back to school.. to prove to dad I’m not a fool. Got my backpack on, got my shoes tied tight, I hope I don’t get in a fight.

Okay, every time I think about back to school, I think about Billy Madison. But we’ve got bigger fish to fry today than whether shampoo or conditioner is better. Although it’s shampoo, of course.

So here I am, a junior in college, I’ve been going to school for the past 15 years of my life and I still can’t decide whether I should carry a backpack, messenger bag, satchel, etc to school. Can anyone help?

kids with backpacks

Elementary School
Back in the day of Lisa Frank and trapper keepers, we were all about backpacks. But now, I’m working at an elementary school and my kids are starting to get all hip with their messenger bags. First graders, for real? Don’t they know that they need to distribute the weight that their school bag holds evenly between both shoulders? I was always a backpack girl.

Middle School
This is when we all got trendy and vicious. Everyone was trying to be cool and oversized handbags were the jive. You were so cool; it was like carrying a purse to school. I think I tried to rock a messenger bag once, but this nerd carried every book under the sun with her…so I switched back to a backpack.

High School
We didn’t care about trying to be cool anymore. It was all about function and surviving throughout the day. Backpacks all the way!

College
So what do you take to college? Well, I started off my freshman year with an oversized handbag, but that got old really fast. I guess I’m a backpack kind of girl. My shoulders don’t end up hurting and I can stash everything I need into all of the pockets.

So what do you guys think? Handbag or backpack?

Weekly Roundup: Fall TV Lineup

As The Bachelorette and other summer reality series are drawing to a close, we are all waiting on the edge of our seats for the upcoming fall line-up. If you just can’t wait any longer for the premiere of your favorite show, maybe these juicy little tid bits will help hold you over…

Grey’s Anatomy

The Grey’s Anatomy finale in May was a heart-stopper, figuratively and literally for several characters. Everyone is on the edge of their seat, wondering what will happen next inside the walls of Seattle Grace. While we don’t know much, we do know that everyone’s favorite new doctor, Jesse Williams will be returning as a regular. How long before he has his very own Mc-nickname?

One Tree Hill

Pregnancies, murders, stalkers, car accidents and beautiful people. One Tree Hill has it all. But as season eight is scheduled to premiere there is speculation that this will be it for the CW Drama. Hilarie Burton spills the details on her former cast and the possible return of Peyton.

Modern Family

America’s favorite family since the Brady Bunch is getting starry-eyed. In the upcoming season, audiences will be introduced to Cam and Mitchell’s friend, Pepper, played by a Tony Award-winning actor. Guess who.

Glee

All you die-hard Gleeks out there already know a Britney Spears themed episode is in the works for season two, but did you know that Glee creator, Brian Murphy, is planning to incorporate some Beatles tunes at the request of Sir Paul, himself?

Confused Woman

Are you getting married?

If you are, have you ever wondered whether you need a purse or not? You know, on your big day?

I have…And I’ve decided that, yeah, I do need a purse…chap stick, oil sheets and floss on hand, at my table…I can’t lug my Bridal Survival Kit everywhere!

Granted my wedding isn’t until next May, but I’ve been doing some serious shopping around already and have found several sites that may provide the perfect clutch for you on your wedding day…

Let’s go cliché… David’s Bridal for example. This Web site, as common as it may be, knows their stuff. Their wedding handbags are gorgeous! They have a variety of prices and colors, from elegant to modern…BUT…if vintage is for you then try looking at…

Etsy…This website is the queen of vintage! From beads to satin, sequins to pearls…you name it, Etsy’s got it. Now let’s say you’re looking for more than vintage or modern…You want elegance with bright colors, and affordable pricing too! Well then, my dear lady you must engulf in…

Handbag Heaven… Okay so I’m giving a shout out to our own store, but ladies we do have an insanly gorgeous selection of clutches in a HUGE variety of colors! Plus our prices are quite pretty too!

Now I’m sure there are tons more wedding handbag stores all over the world…but these are three of the most ravishing ones I’ve found…

Weekly Roundup

Alright ladies, prepare yourselves for sensory overload in this week’s edition of… The Weekly Roundup!

Looks Like… Donny Osmond. Doppelgangers are all around us and now it’s easier than ever to check out the funny, and sometimes frightening similarities to our favorite celebrities.

Sounds Like… Édith Piaf. First of all, if you haven’t seen Inception, go see it! Secondly, if you have seen it, prepare to have your mind blow one more time.

Smells Like… Success. Twitter meets Youtube meets Old Spice? Yes, I’m talking about the Old Spice man videos that have been sweeping the Internet. If you’re interested in the campaign, or just want to see more high-larious videos, then Matchblog has got you covered.

Tastes Like… Home. If you’re looking for something tasty, delectable and mouthwatering, then look no further. Their ode to mangos alone will have you wanting more.

Feels Like… Years since it’s been here. I’m sorry, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to pay homage to my favorite band and one of my favorite songs – Here Comes The Sun.

Speaking of the sun, summer is starting to wind down so go outside and soak up those rays while you still can!

Weekly Roundup Goes International

Madrid, Tokyo, Cairo, San Diego… These are all places I dream of. I imagine myself on my own version of The Amazing Race (you know, minus all of the crazy challenges and overly dramatic situations), traveling the world. But then I come back to reality, where there are college loans, rent and lots and lots of Ramen Noodles. So until that day when I find myself leavin’ on a jet plane, not knowing when I’ll be back again, the memories and images of the places I’ve been will have to suffice. So call it a little self-centered, if you will, but this edition of the Weekly Roundup is dedicated to my favorite places in the world. I hope you find them as breathtaking as I do.

Why save the best for last? Florence, Italy is an incredibly beautiful city, bursting at the brim with priceless art and architecture. The birthplace of the Renaissance, Firenze is a city not to be missed.

There’s just something about Ireland that make it impossible to choose one favorite spot. Maybe it’s the friendly people, the green landscape or the beer… But the Cliffs of Moher are a great example of the impressive natural beauty this country has to offer.

Frank Sinatra, The Blues Brothers and Kanye can’t all be wrong, there’s nothing quite like sweet home, Chicago. After 21 years of calling the Windy City home, I’m still in awe of this vibrant city. And the deep dish pizza doesn’t hurt either…

If there was ever a place to literally take your breath away, it would be Cinque Terre. From the water, to the cliffs, to each of the five towns, you won’t find a more colorful place on earth.

If these photos have you itching to travel, go for it! Just be sure not to forget your favorite handbag!
