CAMEX 2010

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

This year CAMEX was in Orlando Florida.  Some of us hadn’t been to Florida so this was a great chance to have fun and get some great work done and donate to a wonderful cause.  All of the Way Basics furniture at CAMEX was donated to the Kids in Need Foundation, which is an organization dedicated to providing school supplies to children who need it most.

If you couldn’t already tell, we love to have fun! We’re passionate about Way Basics and we feel that love should be a huge part of our philosophy. That’s why this is the second year that we decided to donate all of our products from the CAMEX show to the Kids in Need Foundation.

Way Basics is proud to be part of this touching story.  The following is an excerpt from greenyourdecor.com about a little girl named Ja’Naya who was recently diagnosed with leukemia.

“Things have been a little slow around here lately, I know. This is due in part to the holidays, but of late, there is a much more serious reason for my absence. I hesitated to write this, but there’s no other way to explain it than to just say it. Last week, my daughter was diagnosed with leukemia.”

Messy Closet Contest

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

messycloset
As winter begins to loosen its grip, we find the familiar smell of flowers blooming and birds singing in time. Sigh.. What a wonderful reminder of the warm summer months to come—aaaand—spring cleaning.

This annual tradition of kicking out the winter blues summons morose memories of cleaning for weeks, only to find ourselves settling for stuffing everything in the closet and locking it up tight like Fort Knox. Not this spring!

We know that you all love contests, so this year we are having a messy closet contest in honor of the celebrated spring cleaning season. Whoever has the closet in need of the most help will win a $200 shopping spree at waybasics.com with free shipping. Spring cleaning doesn’t sound so bad now does it?

How do I participate? All you have to do is take a picture of your messy closet and email the pic to talktous@waybasics.com. From there, we will choose the top pictures and post them on our facebook wall where Way Basics fans will vote on the winner.

When is the deadline? We are accepting entries for one week, ending on March 10th. At this point, we will select the finalists and let the fans on facebook vote for the winner. Good luck everyone!
