Hump Day Distractions

hehe.

Yesterday's post got to be a tad long-winded (me, have a lot to say on a somewhat feminist issue?! No!) so today we're getting straight to it. Happy humping!!

* Infused water seems to be all the rage these days. For inspiration on how to fancify your H2O with just a few simple ingredients, click HERE.

* Apparently, this is the most adorable thing you'll watch all day.

* Some of these are on my "if I'm ever not a renter" list as well.

* Wedding cake fails some of which really make me question the sanity of brides and grooms.

* Stunna(s).

* The absolute perfect LBD... except for the price. Fingers crossed it goes on sale.

* Uhhh... they forgot www.seektobemerry.com!!

* Perfect for the man in your life (hehe).

* A unique and beautiful art installation commemorating WWI.

* The cutest crawling race ever.

Hump Day(ish) Distractions

Life before Instagram...

Since this is only a 4 day week (and yesterday we gots a little sentimental, girl power-ish up in here) I think it's definitely appropriate to be humping the day today. So here for your clicking pleasure is a heaping pile of goodies which will hopefully get us all to tomorrow, which is Friday(!!) I see you buddy... and I'm comin for ya!

* 17 beautiful Maya Angelou quotes which will remind you of her profound greatness.

* Sis and Mom, I think a field trip to this place for custom lipstick is in order.

* You all know I'm a cleanse-er... thinking of trying this one, recommended by Team LC. Thoughts?

* The Onion nails it again.

* Just in case you're planning a trip to London.

* Governor's Island is an awesome summer-in-the-city spot. Here's their 2014 calendar.

* Very cool, INEXPENSIVE art made from your own pictures!

* Think I need to purchase one of these (also maybe an excellent Father's Day Gift?)

* Funky/chic nail art that you can absolutely execute at home.

* And finally, since it's been a while since we had anything aca-awesome around here, THIS.

Humorous Art

Hanging in my bathroom, "Big Dill" gets a lot of love

I love a witty art print. Perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, hallways or other random locations in the home, there's something awesome about a creative graphic/caption combo which makes you smile. Thanks to Pinterest (follow me HERE!) I've discovered several artists whose work legitimately cracks me up and leaves me scouring my apartment for more wall space. So here for a chuckle and possible purchase are two of my current favorites. Enjoy!

French Trash Can

Loving Lobster

Comb over.

For the Kiddos.

Love those little tushies!

Confession: I have a "for my non-existant children" board on Pinterest. Allow me to explain... You see, with many of my friends now having kiddos of their own, my Pinterest homepage and Facebook news feed are bursting with baby/toddler goodness and there's just no way I'm going to remember it all when Dr. H and I are ready for bambinos of our own. So to make use of all the great ideas and information I've been collecting, I thought I'd start a little "For the Kiddos" column here on the blog. Just a few bits of kid goodness for all the Moms, Grandmas and #1 Aunties (eghm!!) out there looking for some info and inspiration. 

HaddonCo.

Want to have the most dapper little gentleman at the playground!? These adorable onesies are almost too cute for words and make an amazing baby gift which perfectly blends practical with unique. Click HERE to check out the entire HaddonCo collection on Etsy (25% off sale going on right now!)

A full set of chompers

Wondering when and where the teething is gonna happen? This chart has been approved by Sis (my brilliant personal Dentist) as accurate, so save it now and know exactly when it's time to stock up on teething rings!

Animals on parade!

How gorgeous is this puzzle? I almost want it for myself! Unisex colors, educational (it features upper case letters on one side and lower case on the other) and easy on the eyes, click HERE to purchase the animal parade from the MOMA store.

"Saturday"

I cannot get enough of Greg Abbott's collection of happy monsters and adorable animals. I think these prints would be adorable as decor in a little kiddos bedroom or playroom or for my fellow whimsical adults, Abbott's art comes on iPhone and iPad cases as well as pillows and totes. LOVE it.

Kid in a box.

People always joke that kids love the box more than the toys inside, but this bright idea takes box love to a whole new level. Stick your munchkin inside a big empty box with some crayons (and stickers!) and you get a break while they stay in one place and play happily (at least for a few minutes:)
