For A Day Foundation- CHOC

Today's post is a very meaningful one to us. As most of you know Buylove, our tote bag company (see here), is partnered up with a non-profit organization for each of our 4 lines. With each line, we chose a non-profit we feel best represents that line and is geared towards women. Our motto "Buy love give love" has multiple meanings: with each bag you purchase you are also giving one to you friend and as an added bonus, a non-profit organization!

Our Buywishes line donates towards For a Day Foundation.

This morning we had the pleasure of volunteering with the non-profit organization FOR A DAY FOUNDATION's LA Chapter by visiting CHOC hospital. We were able to play make believe and dress up with pediatric cancer patients at CHOC, giving them a pick-me-up during their treatments. We met a couple children and our favorite moments? The large smile that Brian (aka SUPER BRIAN) gave us when we put on his mask and the time we spent with Ariana who sat patiently as we painted her nails making her a hero/queen for the day.

 It is in these moments that truly reminded Jamie and I of how blessed we were to meet these wonderful kids. We hope we made a difference in their day as they did in ours and we can't wait to get more involved with this organization.

 

Happy Birthday, Jamie!!!

IT'S JAMIE'S BIRTHDAY TODAY!!! Although she's out of town for her actual birthday this year, we celebrated early (last week!) because birthdays are our favorite ;) We played dress up and took some photos with the balloon wishes I made her (see here) and celebrated old school style with a pinata- just what jamie wanted!!!! We had so much fun and it makes me wish everyday was her birthday.

I miss her over here, but am hoping that she has the most AMAZING DAY EVER!! LOVE YOU J!

DIY Friday: Birthday Wishes

It's Jamie's birthday next week but since she'll be out of town on her actual birthday- we've been celebrating early. Our DIY Friday today is very simple but extremely fun and a thoughtful gift you can give someone special for their birthday. All you need are some balloons- I used 26 since Jamie will be turning 26 this year and of course, your wishes! For each balloon I attached a notecard with a wish written on the inside specifically for Jamie. Whatever wishes you come up with for your best friend, make it fun and meaningful for the both of you!

That night, Jamie read all her wishes and let each one go up into the air... hopefully all her wishes come true.

What We Wore: Matching tote bags!

Of course, we had to do a post with our matching tote bags! Jamie and I use our bags almost everyday and we still love them. Currently, we are using our Buywishes line and the timing is perfect because this month is Jamie's birthday month! Our bags represent.. so much.. our dream, our friendship, and what we have accomplished so far. Hopefully 26 is a big year for the both of us.

Jamie, MAKE A WISH!

dont forget, you can purchase these bags at our store :)
