Close Is Better Than Not At All









I am soo excited!  The Container Store is Coming to Scottsdale Summer 2008...now I know this isn't Tucson...but, it is closer than any other location right now.  Hopefully after they start with Scottsdale they will start to expand out to us:) So, get ready to get organized with great trendy, low price items. 
I think that plastic is so chic and modern right now.  I am recreating the look from a magazine that was so excited with pieces from the Container Store for less than $50 for everything! 

Make a MAC Appointment for Fafi for Mac


If you don't feel like driving all the way to Chandler for a visit with the artist for Fafi, then just make an appointment with MAC at Dillards Tucson Mall for a makeover to test the line.  The event will take place from February 22-24, so call and make an appointment soon. I love it mainly for the packaging:)  I am going to at least buy a powder or a bronzer to use in my handbag as a mirror:)  

Local Ways to Make a Difference--Go Green!

Now through April 22nd (Earth Day) donate fur coats that you may have received as a gift, found at a thrift store or bought yourself to Coats for Cubs.  Scary fact: dogs and raccoon dogs are being sold as "faux fur."  Doesn't that make you feel creepy?  Well, help make a difference by donating your old furs.  For more information on this and the event, go to Buffalo Exchange. 


Did you know that right here in Tucson, we have a radio station called, One Green Heart?  The radio station streams lives at KNST.  Mrs. Green goes mainstream Saturdays at Noon on 790 KNST AM radio.  The station is geared towards having fun going green, getting healthier and just doing whatever you can to make this world we live in a better place-no matter what you do.  Check out the site, the radio station and the blog.  There is an event in a couple of days that sounds interesting as well.  See information on event in link here.

I have loved Buffalo since I was in high school living in Portland, Oregon.  I loved to shop and the store allowed me to get new things after trading items that would have just stayed in my closet forever and go unused. Well, we Tucsononians are lucky enough to be in the location where Buffalo started and has the Corporate Headquarters and for V-Day they are having an event, just for you.  Check out the invite below.
