Just stealing pictures from my husband’s pretty Flickr stream.

I’ve had a mega-virus this week that knocked me flat on my back, so I’m going to let some others do the talking. Here’s what I’m loving lately:

Leah at StyleWise is writing a fascinating Buyer Be Wary series covering “ethical” business models she doesn’t support. Constructive critiques like Leah’s are important steps in the journey of fair trade becoming more than a shopping gimmick.

Capsule wardrobe blogger Caroline from Un-Fancy is back. Life circumstances have found her cultivating contentment and an easy wardrobe, and I love hearing what she is learning.

The folks over at TribEndurance sent me a yummy Moringa bar to sample. Locally made nutrition bar? Yes, please. I love that the bars are vegan — I can grab one as I run out the door in the morning without worrying about my dairy restrictions.

Why Are We So Rude from Jen made me teary-eyed. Pretty much all of her posts do that, though, so no biggie.

We’re over 20% to our Beyond the Fried goal for A Beautiful Refuge. Good job, team! Ready to chip in? You can donate here.

Have a great weekend, friends!
