I’m so happy you have introduced Pack for A Purpose to us. I don’t get to travel often, and when I do, it’s usually not to places that are in need, but I’d love to help, and support this cause, so I’m going to email them and ask if I could be a part of it without travelling.
Thanks so much!
Video was so well done!!!
Everything in every facet of society encourages women to be conscious of their beauty. Everything. From Hollywood to dry academia, beauty is a universal and inborn value that is (and always has been) placed disproportionately on women to achieve. Which is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous!
Because where’s the beauty in turning women into same looking mannequins? There’s beauty in every kind of women, large, skinny or avarage. Besides shouldn’t the inner beauty matter more than the outter beauty?
Right. I agree but if anything, while women in this day and age are as obsessed with beauty as ever, that obsession is now competing with the new ideal that personality and intellect are just as important, if not more so, in female accomplishment.
Pack For A Purpose…. Small space. Little effort. Big impact. 🙂
It is so straightforward which it’s brilliant. You can make a real difference to the lives of children around the world without even breaking a sweat. ?
Awesome collection, guys! From Paris to New York, Hollywood to rest of the world via Pack For A Purpose, very informational also fun friday discoveries, this week. WELL DONE!
I find it just hard to understand why people want to live in New York, although it’s inarguably a beautiful place yet too crowded and too expensive… Guess you have to be a New Yorker to understand. Hey! New Yorkers! There ARE nicer, cheaper, less crowded places in the USA to live! 😉
Places where everyone wants to live will always be more expensive. Yes, those that aren’t wealthy or who don’t have a compelling reason to be in very expensive locations tend to move out of expensive areas. That’s how it is supposed to work, as others with a economic reason to be there need to move in.
The rents are high in NYC and SF for the same reason that houses in Greenwich, CT and Beverly Hills are expensive: there are a lot of rich people there. End of story.
Your example of SF is fallacious! SF is one of the smallest cities in population and size. The reasons rents are so high is because there is no acreage to built! SF has approximately 800k population and 46 sq. miles. Making it the most densely populated city in CA. That’s what makes the rent high – get your facts correct. ?????
End of.
New York is so damn expensive, but worth every penny! In my opinion it’s the most amazing place in the world to call HOME.
There goes my hope of moving to New York! Grrr. I could never afford that with my current buget. It’s so crazy that New York and New Jersey are so near yet the everything is about twice as expensive in New York. 🙁
Such cool discoveries, as per usual! Really impressed by the Eiffel apartment, I must admit. Though it doesn’t look like a full apartment to me… Who knows for what purposes Mr Eiffel built that secret apartment for. 😉 LOL
Haha yes! Makes you wonder if his wife knew about it!! Though it looks more like a place to party, in the older original pictures.
Well done a very simple and concise post. Looking forward to learning more from reading your site. 🙂
Wow, what a great set of ideas. I loved the video and quote.
