long time, no shoes

it's been too long since my last post; i must apologize!  but a good product will always bring me back.  i have a soft spot in my heart for toms shoes - not only are they cool and comfy but for every pair purchased, a pair is given to a child in need; pretty cool if you ask me!

i've always been a keds kind of person but i may have to trade them in for a pair of  TOMS classics in natural canvas.

addiction reduction

i used to spend an exorbitant amount of money on coffee (four bucks a day on skinny white mochas, lattes, scandinavian mocha-choca-chinos). up until yesterday, i still spent too much money on coffee albeit it only be two bucks a day on good ol' black coffee.  why waste money and paper cups on black coffee when i can make black coffee in the comfort of my own home you ask? it's all about the people my friends! i love my baristas and the happiness they bring me!

but after a rather entertaining conversation that started off discussing narcotics abuse but quickly turned to a conversation about how much money americans spend on coffee a year (coffee = my vice), i decided enough was enough and just by brewing my own coffee i'll save on average $50/mo ($600/yr). nice.

check out how much your coffee habit is costing you.
