I think this t-shirt would look so great under a blazer with a thin long necklace. A portion of the proceeds go to the WWF. Pretty cool.

red kiss dessert fondue maker
During our first giveaway we had a couple readers asking us if we had under-$20 suggestions for dates. I'm always crazy about food and I'm also someone who believes that the way two people interact in a kitchen can say a lot about their personalities and the possibilities of their relationship. Don't quote me on it, it's just a theory!
Anyway, I think a fondue feast can be a perfectly affordable and intimate date - melt a little chocolate, maybe some caramel, buy some fresh fruit and some grocery store spongecake and see where all the sugar takes you.

chiffon ruffle cami
I think at this point our regular readers know we have a soft spot for ruffles. I think there's an envy thing happening at this point because neither one of us actually ever wears ruffles, but we both wish we did.

cyber clean electronics cleaning putty
It's high-tech functional biodegradable cleaning goo. You can stick it in your keyboard to pick up all the stuff you drop on there. (Once I took a screwdriver to my keyboard and found ants underneath. Awesome. Only once, I swear. C'mon, all our readers can't be domestic divas! Don't judge.) Anyway, this is a bit nontraditional for this blog but I find myself entranced.$9.99 at ThinkGeek

weekend words
Hi Readers,
Phew what a week - S and I are both swimming in some stress. She's preparing for a conference and recovering from the flu and I'm applying for a fellowship. I guess it would help if we weren't procrastinators - come on though, who's with us?
We're so happy to be able to offer giveaways to our readers - we've just wrapped up our second giveaway, and want to wish a big CONGRATULATIONS to Collin for winning that ever-so-delightful print from artwatercolor's etsy shop.
Fear not, for there's another giveaway that begins tomorrow!
Let's see our weekend plans are a bit dull. While S gets herself back to 100% healthy, I imagine her time will be spent hunkering down with a blanket, some occasional television (any Bones fans?) and writing. While I attempt to answer application questions, I'm going to spend tomorrow with The Boy's parents, who are in town for the weekend. This isn't that stressful because I've met them before (phew!) but is also a little stressful because our parents are meeting for the first time (not my mom unfortunately, she's out of town!). I think it will be fine, but these are the kinds of things that throw butterflies into my stomach.
Suggestions for next week? Tips on avoiding procrastinating tendencies? Leave us a comment. :)
Until Monday!
