Paris vs New York is a whimsical blog which showcases illustrated comparisons between the two cities. Not only are the style of illustrations right up my alley (cute and minimalist), the comparisons themselves lead readers to wonder which city comes up best. Just from a quick look, it seems as if the author of the […]

Redditor subtonix made a map of what movies best represent each of the 50 states.

It just goes to show that the strongest, most memorable brands can be easily recognized even through basic shapes.

I managed to catch it — little by little between the 2:34am diaper change and and the 4:56am feeding last night — and I ended up becoming incredibly frustrated due to the fact that I watched it alone. Well, not completely alone but […]
I knew that I had to share this story with my readers as I totally teared up while reading it earlier today. (But then again, what doesn’t get me emotional these days? I cried while watching the newest episode of House last night.) As my readers can testify, pregnancy is not all about unicorns farting rainbows. Take the […]
Our favorite Swedish furniture establishment IKEA has just released a cookbook titled “Hembakat är Bäst,” or “Homemade is Best.” Following the company’s minimalist yet fun philosophy and assemble-it-yourself attitude, almost all the photographs in the book are of the finished product’s ingredients.
