Today I Love: Bold Ideas Notebooks

Yesterday I received an email from Kanit (the designer behind the brand Bold Ideas), introducing his line of notebooks.  I was immediately taken by the clean modern design of his work, but what really hooked me was that each one has been inspired by a particular beverage.  I must admit that I rather like the thought of inspiration striking Kanit as he sat sipping a cup of tea.  It just goes to show that inspiration really can be found in everything.  And I think these lovely notebooks are a perfect example of such a thing.  They are available for sale right here.  Check out the Bold Ideas blog here.  xox Ez

Take a Peek: Kate Spade - Spring 2010

It was such a fun surprise when I popped over to the Kate Spade website yesterday and clicked on the Take a Peek link to view their latest Spring arrivals.  Once the page has loaded, if you hover your mouse over an image it immediately starts a mini side-show displaying multiple ways to wear their new looks.  Of course everything is styled impeccably, and the bright Spring color palette really makes me happy.  If you're in need a little pick-me-up, head on over and take a look right now.

*Since this is a seasonal addition to their site the Take a Peek section may not be available for long.  Catch it while you can.  xo Ez

Best Thing Ever: Gummy Vitamins for Adults

A couple months ago Marichelle and I were lamenting the fact that taking a daily multi vitamins is such a chore that it hardly seems worth the effort.  The standard pills are huge and they always taste terrible.  I personally stopped taking vitamins years ago because I never found one that didn't make me feel nauseous afterwards.  Something about going through my day feeling sick as a dog just doesn't appeal to me.  ; )

Since Marichelle is expecting (yay) she was desperate to find something that she could stomach and ended up purchasing some children's gummy vitamins (figuring that even a tiny dose would be better than nothing at all).  That of course got us going on a tangent wondering why they don't just make gummy vitamins for adults...

Well I am over the moon excited to say that they DO!  I just picked up a bottle last week of these vitafusion Multi Vites and I LOVE THEM!  If they were candy I'd eat a whole bag full and then some.  They don't even have a hint of vitamin "flavor" and I haven't felt nauseous even once after taking them.  These babies are my new best friend.  Now that I've tested out the multi vitamins I think I'll be picking up bottles of their other offerings, such as the B-12 and calcium varieties.  I purchased mine at our local Stop & Shop, but I believe they are available in most major grocery stores and Target online as well.  xo Ez

Have a lovely weekend

Hello everyone.  Thank heavens it's Friday!  I wish I had more for you today, but it's been a pretty tough week and I am heading off to sort everything out.

Before that though, I wanted to let you know that I just started a little personal blog/journal called Carrying On, and I'd love for you to come pay me a visit if you're interested.  I'll be talking about more personal thoughts and projects...day to day stuff that needs its own space to breathe. 

Have a wonderful weekend full of relaxation and small simple pleasures.  xo Ez
