HAPPYFROG PURCHASE NO. 1
I am very, very excited to say that I made my first happyfrog purchase after work tonight as part of the shopping shenanigans that Dave put a couple girls up to.
A few weeks ago I wrote about some really great, locally-made cloth bags that are useful for pretty much anything. In particular, I was rather fond of the “F*@k Plastic” design.
This and all the bags from BYOB collection were designed and manufactured in Vancouver by Jenny Hughes and Elizabeth Clark, whose philosophy behind the bags is simple and straight to the point: “There is an overwhelming use of plastic bags littering the earth and bringing your own bag is the immediate solution.”
Our product mission is to provide people with the best selection of reusable shopping bags that combine fashion, style, quality, and awareness.
On the weekend, Becky mentioned that she’d picked up a reusable bag herself, and at a bargain price. While BYOB bags cost more than a pretty penny (mine rang in at a little over $45 and change with tax), their purpose is to go beyond the practical and bring sustainability into the fashion realm. And the cotton…luxuriously soft!
I picked my bag up at Farfalla in Gastown (located at 57 East Cordova). Check out BYOB’s website to order directly or scope out their list of local retailers near you. Click here to view happyfrog.ca’s listing.
I can’t wait to go grocery shopping!

And while on the topic of pretty things, I got an early Christmas present today from my darling friend Andrew. We met a few years ago through mutual friends, and it took next to no time to realize that we had oh-so-very-much in common. I’ll never forget the day I met him, if only for the fact that he was wearing two belts and I thought it rather peculiar that anyone would wear two belts with an otherwise seemingly normal outfit. Though looking back, it was rather suiting that he had one little quirk about his appearance because there is something entirely unique and wonderful about his personality too.
He has indeed been a good friend to me over the years, one who always, always, always has my back and supports me in anything I do. So to him I say bon voyage, Merry Christmas and merci beaucoup, mon ami. Je t’aime.
