Dandy Endorsed: Movember

Last year around this time we blogged about Movember, a month-long moustache growing event raising "vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men". Last month we learned that our friend and customer, Skinner, was participating so we asked him to be our Movember "corespondent".

“THE MONTH IS OVER BUT THE JOURNEY CONTINUES”

Just a quick note of thanks today.

How sad is it that Movember 2011 ends today? I will be keeping the mustache for one more night at Thursday’s Los Angeles Gala party.  It has been quite a fun journey this year. However, with the good times and partying, it’s important to remember the end of the month does not mean the end of the cause.  The stats and facts don’t disappear at midnight. Changing men’s health and fighting cancer should happen all year round.  If I’ve had any effect on you, please make a pledge to continue the cause in your own way during 2012 and I will see you all again for MOVEMBER 2012!

Thank you for all your support and thanks to Fine And Dandy for joining me in the cause.

Until next year!!!!

Mo Bro Skinner

Small Business Saturday

Today is Small Business Saturday! What a great opportunity for us all to take a moment and recognize the importance of small businesses in our ever-increasing world of soulless big box stores. Fine And Dandy is certainly a small business (that's an understatement) and more and more we produce locally through small manufacturers. It's not only an economic issue, it's also about variety (purchasing something unique that's not owned by millions). In honor of Small Business Saturday we're offering free shipping today on orders of $50 and up with the code HOLIDAY2011 on our checkout page. We hope you will consider making a point of patronizing a small business today whether or not it's Fine And Dandy. Happy shopping!

Formal Friday

Fridays have officially gone formal at FineAndDandyShop.com. In our opinion the world has gone too casual from a style perspective. This is our anti-casual Friday. So each week we ask you to get dressed up, encourage your co-workers to do the same, and send us a photo: info@FineAndDandyShop.com.

Each week through the end of the month Skinner will check in with us to update us on his progress.

1/2 WAY THERE: LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL"

We all know cancer and men’s health are serious issues. There’s a lot of talk leading up to Movember about the purpose of this charity, the science and the stats.  However, the reality of the campaign is settling in.  It’s about having fun and taking the stigma out of men’s health.  That’s why we’re not sitting around having meetings, conferences and seminars.  Men’s health issues should not be kept in a dark scary room of a doctor’s office.  Instead we’re incorporating the discussions in our daily lives.  Going to happy hours, wine tastings, bike n’ beer rides, ball games and many other wonderful events.  The more comfortable we all are talking about health, exercise, nutrition in our daily lives, the easier it will be for us to make the necessary changes to lead healthier lives.

What a fun month it’s been so far and I’m only halfway through.  The wonderful support I’ve had from friends have family has helped me reach my fundraising goal.  I’m officially a Platinum Mo Bro. 

Let’s try to for Double Platinum!!!

Dandy Inspiration

I've always been one to rip things out of magazines - whether to remind myself of a new restaurant to checkout, a tv show to dvr, or (more frequently) something providing visual inspiration. A couple of years ago while going through piles of these pages I decided to get organized and bought some cork boards to create an inspiration board (some creative types refer to them as mood boards). I've found it a fantastic way to cull inspiration whether magazine images, vintage photos, fabric, you name it. We're all surrounded by inspiration so how do you organize the things that inspire you?
