“I’M TIRED OF…” BRACELETS TO LAUNCH TWO NEW CAUSES

“I’m Tired of…” (ITo) is off to a fantastic start, having already raised more than $15,000 (in a little more than two months) for charities supporting its 10 initial causes. The bracelets leading the way at the close of last year were “I’m Tired of Global Warming,” “I’m Tired of Animal Cruelty” and “I’m Tired of Cancer.”

Additionally, based largely on consumer votes on its website, ITo announced its next two causes with plans to add on average two new causes every month, starting this month. Next out will be “I’m Tired of Breast Cancer” and “I’m Tired of the Economy.” 

A totally fashionable eco friendly bracelet, made out of recycled tires and metals, each “I’m Tired of…” bracelet supports important causes, from world hunger to animal cruelty and cancer to diabetes and autism, plus many more. For every $10 bracelet you buy, half of that ($5) is donated to a charity that supports the cause you choose. www.ImTiredOnline.com

THE BEST OF SERIOUSLY?! IN 2008

Our Picks for the Top "Seriously?!" Stories We Just Had to Report on This Year

Believe it or not, one of the most popular features of White Apricot this past year has been our Seriously?! stories. Seriously?! We figure that you think it’s a lot of fun to read articles about ridiculous or useless products that bring a smile or make you laugh out loud. We have a lot of fun finding them too. As the year comes to a close, we thought it was appropriate to count down our Top 10 favorite Serioulsy?! products from the past year David Letterman style. Enjoy!
