Minutes…
This is the only time you’ll get these minutes. Are you doing what you want, or at least what you need to do to get where you’d like to be?
Social Honeycomb Helps the Honey Bees
Back in April I posted about the Help the Honey Bees campaign from Haagen Dazs. After I posted, I went out looking for the special ice cream I had read about on their site that supposedly was the key to my helping out the bees. I couldn’t find it anywhere! Totally discouraged, I guess I put it out of my head and hoped that somewhere, someone was eating that bee-helping flavor.
Fast-forward (because life is a cassette tape) to a couple days ago in my local Shaw’s Supermarket where I picked up a pint of Haagen Dazs Orchard Peach Sorbet. I love peach-flavored treats, so I just grabbed it and went on my way. Cut to last night when I was indulging like a peach-addicted maniac, when I noticed I had purchased a pint of Help the Honey Bees sorbet! Social Honeycomb <3 Bees and Peaches. I explain (with Santogold- Creator playing in the background):
And here I am eating my sorbet, rambling about how I love the flavor of peaches and how good it feels to help the bees (ignore my laptop fan going crazy near the end):
P.S. I’m not drunk in either video.
P.P.S. Help the bees.
The Newest Bostonian
Many of you know my lovely friend Alexa Scordato. Today I just wanted to express my excitement that she’s officially a Bostonian! Welcome home, Alexa. <3

eBoy Brings Us Artwork 2.0
My coworker “The Mighty Fearon” shared an interesting link with me today. Lorcan Dempsey’s blog featured two of eBoy’s posters that take reusable pixel objects and turn them into works of art. I checked out the eBoy site and found that they make posters, t-shirts, toys and some really sweet iPhone skins with their sweet artwork.
How cool is this?

Congratulations, Class of 2008
As I am scrambling to get my apartment looking like something resembling the word “clean” before my family arrives today, I wanted to take a breather and give a shout out to my fellow BU 2008 grads.
I’ve made some incredible friends over the years I’ve spent at Boston University. So many people have made me laugh, inspired me, challenged me and taught me new things since September 2004 when we all arrived in Boston to start the crazy chapter in life called college.

Today’s Honey: May 8, 2008
As promised, Today’s Honey is the quilted leather edition. I can’t get enough of this, so I might just have to blog about handbags exclusively from now on. I honestly haven’t decided if that statement is serious or not yet.
Behold my favorite new purchase–the Burberry Montgomery bag in black:
