He’s a Knottycase for my iPhone, he came from California, and was made in Canada. He’s part of the Save the Redwoods League at savetheredwoods.org. He was born beside a rocky stream, in the mountains near California, as long as 500 years ago. Albert was a big strong redwood but unfortunately he had a bad winter fall. Luckily he was salvaged and has now found love, with me. When you purchase a Knottycase you are helping to plant trees and make the world a better place. My wooden iPhone case is the Oak on Black and available for $79.  Each case is one-of-a-kind, different grain lines give each it’s own look depending on the part of the tree the wood came from. I love it. Nice gift for the holidays. Go digital, save trees. 🙂 <3 CASIE

Last night on my way home from work I stopped by the Canadian launch of Dormeo Octospring beds at 477 Richmond. I’m not usually one to blog about beds and stuff but they were giving out massages, warm food, hot drinks, and it was en route to mi casa. I have NEVER had a pretend sleep in a bed that so comfortable. Lucky for me my lounging was all captured by the brands photographer. I tried Bacardi rum and hot apple cider for the first time and met the PR team. How did I not TRY THAT BEFORE?! So good. I’m a stickler for technology and these beds are made with innovative, plush Octospring memory foam. They have JUST launched in Canada and are available at Sleep Factory. I have never purchased a new bed for myself as an adult, and this is exactly what I would LOVE to have. They are so incredibly comfortable (said that twice because I mean it), I recommend you follow in my footsteps and take a nap at a store near you. I hope my home insurance covers this kind of furniture, my friend told me that websites similar to simplyinsurance.com (visit site) can provide some more insight into home insurance quotes with information on what is and isn’t covered in their policies. If my current provider doesn’t make the cut I might have to switch. I want this amazing bed to be totally covered so I can sleep soundly on it. Some photos from the event below. If they are giving away a bed in the near future, I will let you know! Follow them on Twitter at @OctaspringHQ. Thank you Octaspring for my giftbag, feelin’ the love! Santa, please add this to my list. 🙂
