It’s in the Bag (Pocketbook, Clutch, Purse)…

Don’t you just hate it when you’re at a loss for words? Like when you’re writing that oh-so-important memo and have already used the word “progress” three times in one paragraph? Fear not. Thinkmap’s Visual Thesaurus is a wonderful online tool that will graphically lead you to new and better ways to express yourself.
New York-based Thinkmap develops and markets software that uses visualization to facilitate communication, learning, and discovery. I discovered the site a while back but found it invaluable yesterday so I thought I would pass it along.

That being said, the next time you shop, patronize, frequent or purchase items at your favorite store, be sure to Check Out My Bag. Proving once again that fashion and environmentalism go hand-and-hand, this company makes their bags from 100% unbleached calico. They’re strong, but light enough to fold and keep in your hand bag or pocket. The idea, of course, being that the stylish doodle-designed bag will always be handy for those impulse purchases. Plus, not only are plastic bags going out of style, they’re actually banned in some places! The bag itself is about $8 and the company ships worldwide. Better stock up now!
