Jerk Balloons
Balloons - commonly seen at happy events. Like children's birthday parties. Well, things have clearly changed with Shauna Luedtke's “Jerks Balloons” which feature a bunch of nasty messages. You know how most of the time you can say anything and get away with it, as long as you smile while doing it? Trust me, it works. Well in the case of these balloons, they can probably say anything and get . . .
Sharing Bliss: Paper
Perhaps this post comes a little late as all the big holidays seem to be over. However, if you do need some cards or gift wrapping sometime in the near future, SUGAR PAPER is a brand that should come to mind. Their stuff is great, and will probably delight you as much as it would the receiver. I am a little too really obsessed with papergoods, so browsing at their collections were pure bliss, an . . .
Friday Rainbows
This is one rainbow you'd actually want to hear about, especially on a Friday... I think that we've all at one stage wanted to learn the art of bartending - or perhaps I speak for myself. However, one can never look down on a great drink mixologist and the yummy concoctions they come up with. Spotted a pretty awesome device on Firebox that might help with that big life goal.

Happy Halloween

Halloween Love

Then I was looking at Halloween inspiration the other day and stumbled across the fact that she is an absolute Halloween fanatic. Being quite the costume party obsessed individual, I looked further into it and her outfits are amazing every single . . .
Beards are Back
It's back again. The 2013 National Beard and Moustache Championships. Just in case I've piqued your interest, there are 18 different categories you can fit into - from the delicate Dali moustache to the anything-goes full beard freestyle (more details here). A sneak peak of the categories: And now to what you're waiting for, the pictures… Brilliant! via Laughing Squid . . .
Paint Me
Remember the days when we used to go to a party and the moment a butterfly was painted across on our face, we'd marvel at the perfection of the clown lady's work of art? I am referring to little-me at the tender age of 4, but perhaps you thought of a time when you were a tad older. Whatever floats your boat.
