Your Commute Sucks

A friend mentioned that having one of our lollipops handy during his long, traffic-y commute just might make it suck less.

That’s a theory worth testing! Do you keep a stash of charming candy in the car for long trips and boring commutes?

An Eclectic Morning Playlist

Some mornings I need an extra boost to get going. And some days, post-lunch food coma is worse than others. When that happens, I pull out this extremely eclectic play list with a today-is-going-to-be-great theme. It consists of:

• Someday, Tegan & Sara (alternative)
• Perfect Day, Hoku (you know, that song at the beginning of Legally Blonde)
• Today is Gonna be a Great Day, Bowling for Soup (uh, yeah, the theme song from Phineas & Ferb)
• Ordinary Day, Great Big Sea (celtic)
• Constructive Summer, The Hold Steady (more alternative)
• Pocahontas Proud, Gretchen Wilson (country)

It's, um, not what you might call coherent in terms of music. But all the songs are about either building something or having a good day or both. And it gives me the energy to make myself be something someday.

Wholesale Accounts

Also, due to our tightly packed Q4 production schedule, we just don't have the bandwidth to take on new wholesale accounts right now. Please contact us again in 2011!

(I can't believe I just typed that. It's only September!)

Lollipop Antennae!

I was holding the spare lollipops in my hands during our last photoshoot and somehow ended up showcasing them as antennae on the top of my head.

We're going to be announcing a special on these star lollipops over on Facebook later today. So keep an eye out for it!

I can't help but think that this green looks like it should be new leaves and twigs in a forest or jungle somewhere, somewhere perfect for being on an adventure.
