PICNIC IDEAS WITH RUNA TEA

Last week, San Francisco had one of the hottest heat waves ever recorded. We are not equipped for scorching weather like that. Most homes here don’t have air conditioning so it’s important to find other ways to cool off. With that heat wave, I thought it would be the best time try these RUNA TEAS. This tea has a beautiful mission. The making of RUNA helps reforest the rainforest. RUNA is made from the guayusa (GWHY-YOU-SA) leaf ...

It’s true, I have an unhealthy obsession with holes in my jeans. Most of my denim collection consists of distressed jeans. I do have some with no distressing. At my job we can’t wear jeans only, on days where the elementary school kids do (free dress days are the best days). When I can wear jeans at work, I wear jeans with no holes because I still want to look professional (a previous school I worked at allowed jeans, but none ...
