Green Shipping
Yesterday I said goodbye to plastic shipping tape, and hello to recyclable kraft paper tape! I also added this cute little reminder on the box, for anyone who may have forgotten. I'm feeling proud this little business, which offers green products, and walks the walk. Thanks for your support!

5 Great Adult & Kid Friendly Crafts For Travel
I recently took a 4 day trip with my husband, to his work meeting. I had no plans, I just wanted to relax, explore, hang out, and maybe do a few crafts in the room or at a comfy place at the resort. I couldn't believe I could not find a good blog post about fun crafts to do while traveling! I didn't want activities for kids, I wanted them for myself. Road trip Bingo didn't quite cut it.
My criteria were: lightweight, not bulky, can be completed at the resort. I think I found a few really fun options!
So here's my list:
-Perler Bead. These are perfect, since there's always an iron in the room! You just need the beads, a base, and the ironing paper.
There are some really cute patterns I have pinned!
-Air drying clay with tools, and sharpies. You can make plant pockets or beads.
-I recently bought some Chinese knotting cord in neon colors and love the way it feels when I work with it. These bracelets are just fun, with beads or without.
-For some reason, I was worried I wouldn't have enough to do (crazy!) so I also brought this book which is a paper succulent craft book I picked up at Targ. If you bring this, you also need to pick up some glue dots. I have to say, I never got around to making these, but I am still fascinated by the idea.
-I also bought a pad of watercolor paper, some watercolor paints, and oil pastels. I'm not an amazing artists, but I do love to make quick sketches of the different scenery when I'm on vacation.
I probably spent more time by the pool thank I planned on, and did less crafts that I thought I would. But I did really enjoy my relaxed crafting time in our beautiful room! And I kinda like that I didn't get to do it all, because I still have my craft bag packed, and I'll bring it with me on our next family trip in a month.
What are you go to's for travel crafts?

Shop Like You Mean It
My annual post to encourage you to shop small is here! It's not just something people say, it's really important to live it. Can you imagine what the community would be like if shopping was all Wal-Mart and Target? Ugh!
Collections By Joya
Buy jewelry or subscribe to a gift box, and a portion of the sale goes directly back to women's charities.
-I bought several of their Perfect Layers bracelets for family and friends. For $29.95 you really can't go wrong.
Want to help a local artist or entrepeneur? Go to Kickstarter and search your city!
Shop Etsy for things made in and shipped from St. Louis! If you're not in St. Louis, you can find your city by searching it in the search bar, when your results come up, go to the left side where it says "refine your search" and it lets you enter "custom option" where you can input your city or zip code. Once that comes up, make sure you clear your city from the search bar at the top (you can leave it blank and hit search).
Some of my favorite stores in St. Louis are: Bowood Farms, Garden Heights Nursery, Geranium, Art Mart, Paper Dolls, Klutch, and all the antique malls like Treasure Aisles, and Warson Woods, and I can't wait for Lemon Gem to open.
If you're not going to shop local, at least consider supporting businesses that give back.
Feed Projects
Purchase of their products gives meals to children.
-Sign up for offers and receive 10% off your order.
-I love their products! I'm currently coveting this mudcloth inspired striped pouch for $35, which gives 25 school meals to children around the world:
More businesses that give back...
Puravida bracelets, lets you select which charity you'd like to support, and there are lots of options!
Skyline Socks sells socks with the skylines of major cities on them, and when you purchase a pair, it donates a pair for socks to someone in that city.
You may have seen Yoobi's bright, fun stationery & office supplies at Target, why not buy from them directly? For every item you buy, they donate an item to a U.S. school in need.
Spread the word! On social media use hashtags #shopsmall #supportlocal #giveback #buylocal #shopsmallbusiness #makingadifference
