Hi friends and lovers!

From Berit: So my school is really stupid and uses Easter for Spring Break,

therefore I AM GOING INSANE.

So forgive my flaky-ness as of late- my break is still 3 weeks away :(

We're all in the same boat here- so close but so far away from the end!

Here are some things to make you smile:

1) Darling corset tops that are so in right now!

2) PIRATE SHIPS

3) Not being afraid to embrace paleness!

4) Acceptance letters

(Claire's brother got into the University of Washington!)

5) Home-made guacamole. SO GOOD!!!!

6) RALPH MACCHIO!!!!!

Hello Lovelies,

On top of it all, with everything going on in Japan, this week has no doubt been a hard one.

Despite it all, here are a few things to smile about:

BOOKS

Pixar Films

Lavender tea

The Walla Walla Windfarm

A Glee-ful kiss

Of course, it does no good to forget about other people's happiness as well,

so here are a few ways to help Japan:

Doctors Without Borders

Save the Children

Unicef

Red Cross

Medical Teams International

Human compassion is an amazing thing.

If thats not something to smile about, we don't know what is.

Choose Happiness (Ah, Midterms...)

This wednesday, when we would ordinarily publish our Choose Happiness post,

both of us were positively drowning in schoolwork.

But, better late than never,

and for those of you who are NOT on spring break this week (like Claire is),

you could probably use a little pick me up anyways.

We love you so very much! Thanks for reading!
