Drink Beer. Prevent Domestic Violence. (Yes, you read that correctly.)
I am fond of recent tech-savvy things that make supporting non-profits easy-peasy like text-to-give, Facebook Causes, apps like the Change Mob, but, boy, do I love, adore, pine-over going to happy hour and having my beer support a non-profit. A local Colorado micro-brewery, Bristol Brewing Company, instituted my favorite addition to charitable giving in years: … Continue reading

When Morgan initially asked me to guest blog for Louder than Wombats, I figured it was because of my love of food. While I could talk about gnocchi or gelato all day (and did, for an entire semester in Italy, in which I gained 20 pounds as a result!), I thought I should write something … Continue reading
Who doesn’t love fashion that IS philanthropy? We’re not just talking hemp scarves and beaded bracelets anymore here, people (although they are still valid fashion choices). Some of the major houses of fashion around the globe are promoting causes through special items or a percentage of their proceeds being donated. Kate Spade, Diane Von Furstenberg, … Continue reading
So one of my friends on facebook posted a story from a blog on the Stanford Graduate School of Business’ Center for Social Innovation page, entitled “When Did ‘Charity’ Become a Bad Word?” I clicked through and read the short post that included a great graphic for those of you less familiar with the concept … Continue reading

As I said in my last post, I was in Las Vegas for 10 days for a conference. A very exciting database conference, in fact. But … Continue reading
I’m in Las Vegas this week for a conference, and after getting my inspiration on drooling on the windows of Christian Louboutin at The Forum Shops at Caesar’s it is time for me to discuss some Oscar Fashion! I didn’t have my usual E! Red Carpet fashion team on the hotel TV, so I’ve had to … Continue reading
My philosophy on amorous cuisine is that aphrodisiac foods like oysters, caviar and vodka are great, but not as romance inspiring as spontaneity. So, I surveyed what was in my kitchen and then used AllRecipes.com’s Dinner Spinner App on my iPhone to come up with something new and exciting for a romantic dinner… Appetizer Ingredients you’ll need for … Continue reading
Happy Valentine’s Day, friends! Or Happy “Independence” Day as one of my clever friends coined in college. I decided to share some FFP (food, fashion, philanthropy) love via my blog on Valentine’s Day this year since my significant other is otherwise engaged this evening…so I’m asking for your feedback on Valentine’s looks and will be cooking a … Continue reading
I’ve been struggling with what to debut as my first post for this blog that is such an experiment in my life. Should I talk about major news stories like the Republican primaries or Whitney Houston’s death? Just post pictures of my meals, my workouts or my outfits this week? Analyze the State of the … Continue reading
