New Header!

I'm so proud of myself! I found Scrapblog through a friend's blog, so I decided to try it out. Hope you enjoy the new look! You can also check out my new banner/store header for my Etsy site. Very fun!

Savannah, Georgia

There's nothing like a great book to spark your need for travel. I just finished "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil," and the book made me want to vacation in Savannah. It's a semi-non-fiction account of a 1981 murder. I picture Savannah as the true "Old South" with its mansions and architecture. I strongly suggest the read, and I've been told it's also a movie. Happy Travels!

Reduce Abuse Campaign

As many of you know, when I'm not traveling I do a bit of freelance work. Well, right now I'm working on a cause marketing campaign for Beauty Brands Salon, and I would like to spread the word.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and Beauty Brands locations nationwide raise money for local domestic violence shelters through the Reduce Abuse program. As you may know, people often confide very personal things to their stylists, so stylists may learn about the abuse.

Beginning Sept. 29 through Oct. 26 Beauty Brands is selling its Redken Guts product for $6.98 (regularly $14.95), and 100% of proceeds will be donated to the local shelters of each location. Beauty Brands are in 11 states including Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Texas.

Be sure to find your nearest location and help stop domestic violence in your community!

Shopping Safari

I hate to brag, (not really) but look what I found yesterday while shopping with my mom yesterday. The total price for this purchase was .... (drum roll) ... $8!! It's not a travel post, but I couldn't help myself!
