link love - good shtuff

OK I have some good stuff I wanna share.

(1) Movember.

First up, my friend Zach is participating in Movember. What is "Movember"? Well, since you asked...
"Movember is an annual, month-long celebration of the moustache, highlighting men's health issues - specifically prostate and testicular cancer. A Mo Bro starts Movember - the month formerly known as November - clean shaven, and grows a moustache all month long, garnering support from friends and family in the form of donations. What's more, a Mo Bro is a walking billboard for the cause as his new look opens the door for him to talk about cancers affecting men - making the moustache a symbol, much like the pink ribbon is for breast cancer. [...] While growing a Mo is left to the guys, Mo Sistas (women who support their guys) form an important part of Movember by recruiting Mo Bros, helping to raise funds [...]"  (Learn more here)
Anyway, here is my buddy Zach's page on Movember, where you can see progress pics of his Moustache, read his motivation for participation, and donate to his cause. So far he has raised $601.03! If nothing else, come November 30 take a peek at http://us.movember.com/ to see some narly moustaches!



SIDENOTE: I tried to convince Joe to participate, but he said he can't because he's "customer facing" - whatever. I think he's just ashamed of his peach fuzz 'stache :)

(2) Christmas Card for a cause.

I heard about this from Jax at The Roaring Twenties. Want to make just *a little* difference in someone's life? Well five-year-old Noah Biorkman is dying of cancer, so his family is celebrating Christmas next week because they fear little Noah won't make it. You know what Noah wants? Christmas cards. Seriously! This story checks out on snopes.

It's so easy! Just send Noah a Christmas card:
Noah Biorkman
1141 Fountain View Circle
South Lyon, MI, 48178
Here's the card Noah will be getting from me:



The actual card is in pretty glossy colors, but this scan from the copy machine will have to do.

Anyway, SO EASY TO DO peeps!!! Send Noah some LOVE.

(3) Vote Jordana: America's Most Stylish Blogger

My friend Jordana from Clutch22, a Seattle transplant living in New York, was nominated by BlueFly and Style List as America's Most Stylish Blogger. Over the coming months, she'll face off against other bloggers across the country in weekly competitions to style a look around one provided piece.

This week, she was given studded Prada booties, and here's what she did with 'em:



How cute is this??? Anyway, she needs your support to win this competition. To help Jordana win this thing, go vote at her post!

Okayyyy. That's all, folks! Happy Friday:)
