Giving Back to our Earth with Crayola ColorCycle

Looking for an easy way to give back to our Earth? 
You may have already heard of this, but if not, listen up!!

The Crayola company uses old markers and recycles and repurposes them to create energy and other natural resources.  To read more about this green initiative and many others click here.

                                    

It's so easy!  Just place a box or bin in your classroom or in a central location at your school and instead of throwing away those dried up magic markers and dry erase markers, drop them in the ColorCycle Bin.  When it gets full, count them, box them up, and print a postage paid shipping label and let FedEx Ground pick up!!  It doesn't get much easier than that!







When you introduce this initiative to your students you can use some of these fun, fact-filled lesson plans to assist you.

December Stitch Fix

I know, I know it's January but I'm just now getting around to reviewing my December Stitch Fix.  We recently moved and life just got in the way for a few months so I haven't gotten a Fix since...well...I don't remember when!  Anyway, I received an email from Stitch Fix that I could receive a free Fix.  By free, I mean they would pay the $20 styling fee. So, I scheduled a Fix that very day!! About a week later, it showed up at my door.

  

I requested some corduroys and warm tops/sweaters.  I left the rest up to my stylist, Mindyrose.  (This was my first time have this particular stylist.)

I received two pairs of pants in this Fix.  The first were these Margaret M Emer Printed Straight Leg Pant in Jewel Tone Purple. I've taken a close up to show the print. Please try and not be jealous of my iPhone pics and great lighting! 

I received a pair of Emer Printed pants in a previous Fix that gave me nightmares.  They did NOT agree with my body type.  These straight legged pants weren't near as bad.  

Next up were the Level 99 Patrick Chino Pant in dark green.  These were GREAT!!!  Definitely keepers!

This Echo Bristol Sequin Infinity Scarf was a perfect match to the Margaret M Emer Pants.  I liked this but didn't fall in love.

This RD Style Senna Pullover Sweater in off-white, is a good closet staple. This is also pictured above. The close up below shows the detail.

And lastly, the Market & Spruce Cordelia Striped Boat Neck Sweater in black and white.  This looked really good with the green pants.  I would have never put them together myself.  This was VERY soft and comfy.
