Well, we’re in the middle of summer now, so I bet your weekends are packed. If not, then you’re lucky! Enjoy these lazy days before they are gone. But before you embark on whatever weekend plans you have, make sure to check out our weekly From Our Friends, where we roundup some of OA’s favorite posts, published by our friends and partners around the web.
This week we feature a piece of jewelry that’s totally natural, a video of a thankful turtle, advice on how to surpass mediocrity, tips for health conscious brides, and a great way to stay healthy during working lunch meetings. Also: A tutorial on how to make your own terrarium and a list of the benefits of unplugging.
