New Facebook Profiles: The Good and the Bad

When Facebook debuted its new profile pages last week I thought, ‘Finally! A Facebook redesign I like!’ and went straight ahead to play around with the new features. Apparently, others have been busy with the new profile pages as well… French artist Alexandre Oudin transformed his profile page into an innovative portrait. Love it! On the flipside, there […]

Royal Engagement Photos

Two official engagement pictures were released to the public over the weekend, and I have to say that I love the work of fashion photographer Mario Testino, who was chosen […]

The State of the Union, 10 Weeks

Today I’ve decided to regale my readers with another post-partum mega update…complete with stretch mark pictures! Baby care has definitely gotten easier.

I Do Not Have PPD

A is for Ackbar

Graphic designer Brandon Peat created a series of Star Wars alphabet prints in order to decorate his son Tycho’s nursery. The result is magnificent to say the least! The prints have been compiled into a book titled A is for Ackbar, which can be purchased by donating a minimum of $15 to Tycho’s college fund. And […]

Cosplay With My Heart

I know that Bruno Mars’ “Just the Way You Are” is one of the most overplayed songs of the year, but I love it all the same for the catchy tune and oh-so-sweet lyrics. When I see your face there’s not a thing I wouldn’t change‘Cause you’re amazing, just the way you areAnd when you […]
