I’m absolutely loving these body-friendly summertime cover-ups: no need to trade in style for comfort here! (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) Look for cover ups that have a tie, cinch right below the bust-line, and/or are long and straight to the ground if you want to create a [...]

This past week I was gone on a trip with my church to the Dream Center located in Los Angeles, California. The Dream Center is a place that helps rehabilitate people who’ve come out of prison, provides food, meals, and lodging for the homeless, works with helping people on Skid Row (if you’ve seen the [...]

clockwise from top: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 I have my eye on these bell shaped pieces…a glass cloche makes even the simplest display look sophisticated.

Ease Factor: 3 Estimated time of completion: 20 minutes What girl hasn’t watched Breakfast at Tiffany’s and wished they looked as glamorous as Audrey Hepburn when they sleep?! For years I’ve been telling myself to make a pretty little eye mask (I’ve been using a cheap-o one from Target for years, from nights shared with [...]

How sweet are these plates made by Kyoto Institute of Technology student Mika Tsutai? *images from designboom* Based off Japanese comics (called mangas), your food plays the main role in these culinary stories.

(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) I’ve been dreaming of a desert excursion. Where do you suggest I start?

Does this holiday remind anyone of that one episode of the Office? Anyways… This Saturday marks the United Nations sanctioned holiday’s tenth anniversary. As a way to bring cultural awareness around the world since the attacks of September 11th, this day is a time to celebrate diversity: and in my book that means GOOD FOOD! [...]

Since 2010, Vimeo has been having it’s own film festival of user submitted videos. Winners receive $25,000 and a lot of exposure to mainstream media, and is an awesome way for talented unknowns to get recognized.

A brief week of over 80 degree weather here in Northern California has me preparing my closet for the warmer weather. Unfortunately the next week or so will be in the low sixties (which for a spoiled CA girl like myself is freezing for May), but nevertheless I’m inspired to start stocking up on some [...]

Every Sunday or so we try to have our friends over, which usually consists of playing games and eating copious amounts of junk food. Basically the typical relaxed hang out. While I absolutely love these laid back times, I wouldn’t mind doing more eventful get-togethers, but I never seem to get around to planning something [...]

You may know Matthew Ward as the second half of She and Him, but his solo work as M. Ward is where it’s at. I discovered this soulful artist the other day while Grooveshark’s Indie station streamed on as I worked. I’m always drawn to artists that create satirical yet innocent images of youth and aging [...]

You will be the end of my budget yet! If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile, you probably know I am a huge Lush lover. I have yet to find a bath bomb, soap, lotion, or hair product that I haven’t fallen for. Needless to say when I heard that the company launched their [...]
