Michelle Obama’s VOTE necklace: Found it, want it.
Like everyone I know, I was absolutely captivated and moved by Michelle Obama’s DNC speech last night. (Please, watch if you haven’t already.) It’s what I woke up thinking about this morning and I know I will keep thinking about it.
And while it was a far, far second to the speech, I admit I was also thinking about the VOTE necklace she was a wearing last night. And oof, I want one.
You too? You can get one! We tracked it down!

In three to four weeks, designer Chari Cuthbert and her team at BYCHAR will created a spaced-letter necklace for you in 14k white, yellow or rose gold, with the letters V-O-T-E dangling from the delicate chain. Or any other word or initials that mean something to you, if you choose the custom necklace option. But I like VOTE.
It’s a far cry from an I REALLY DON’T CARE DO U message, that’s for sure.

BYCHARI’s necklace does start at $295 — and that’s without the diamonds — so if you have it in your budget, enjoy! You’ll get a beautiful piece, handmade sustainably in Los Angeles, all supporting a cool woman-owned small business.
It would also make a fabulous 18th birthday gift for a special teen who gets to vote in their first election this year.
However, if that’s out of your budget, I get it. In which case, may I recommend sending a few bucks to a downballot candidate in a tight race who can really use your help instead? Or to an impactful voter registration group, or election protection organization like Common Cause?
I think Michelle would be okay with that.
Thanks Kim G!
I never thought twice about diapering my son with the eco-not-so-conscious disposable diaper. I have to admit, I thought that cloth diapers were still big cotton towels that required safety pins, manual dexterity, and a whole lot of free time.
Don’t get any sick ideas, dear readers. We’ve all seen our share of those softies and we certainly don’t need a stuffed one of THOSE laying around the house. 
When my 3 year old was a newborn we planned a trip to Europe and before I could say auf viedersehn, my brain pictured all the filthy traveling potties we would encounter while changing her diaper.
