Baby elephant hat

Now I don't have a baby nor will I anytime soon BUT while browsing through the trending items on wanelo.com  I found this ridiculously adorable pattern.
I instantly went $3.50 why wouldn't everyone already own this??
Well it is just a pattern to make it yourself...price is now fitting.
But if you know how to crochet or want to learn and have a baby or a friend with one I think this is (have I said this already?) RIDICULOUSLY adorable!

Wanelo.com

Wanelo.com is the shit. My good friend Laurenda told me about it. Basically it's things people found cool, they post it and share with everyone else. It takes the leg work out of online shopping. You DO have to make a log in to see more then like 20 products but it rarely sends you emails but I usually like the products it send me in the e-mails. You don't have to go to your go to 5 online stores to try and find something, you can either look at the current trending items or you can type something in the search engine. Say you want a skirt? No problem, you now have about 50 different skirts of any type of style you could possibly want. GREAT for b-day and x-mas presents. You can find something unique no one knows about (and your friends will love you for it.) Unfortunately if you get too specific with the search sometimes it comes up with a bunch of stuff that don't necessarily fit your search. Also a few of the products you'll click on to go to their website and it's sold out which is a pain when you find something you love but what can ya do?
All in all AMAZING website for finding unique/fun/quirky products for any type of budget.

canned UNICORN meat??

haha so if anyone has used amazon before you know that theres a "recommended for you" section. I like to peruse this every so often and lately I've been really getting into planting things for our front walk to beautify our entry way, so I was seeing what kind of seed suggestions they had from what I've already bought and I come across THIS...

Canned unicorn meat
unfortunately the description crushes my hopes and dreams of what could be inside the can...coon perhaps?
and informs me of this Oh well one can dream

• Okay, for real: you can't eat this. It's a dismembered stuffed unicorn in a can.
• The bottom of the tin is easily removable to gain access to the mini dead unicorn inside. No can opener needed! 

Oh well one can dream. It's still a hilarious concept. Heres what truly lies with in the can

Why People Should Stop Bitching About Chicken Nuggets

I have heard for days about this article about how "disgusting" chicken nuggets are. First of all there is false information in this article. They are not grinding up BONES and eyeballs into your nuggets...seriously people will believe anything they read on the internet. Also people act so appalled by the consistency of this tube like ground up chicken photo. Honestly if you THOUGHT about it, this would not be surprising in the least. What do you think hot dogs and bologna look like before you buy them? Chicken patties? It's all the same. If you ever ate a fresh chicken breast you would realize that these are not the same texture when you bite into them/cut them up. So seriously people? use your brain. Stop acting like Mcdonalds is so disgusting for making chicken nuggets because the ones you buy from the grocery store-same thing. Mcdonalds is a fast food restaurant making lower quality food for your express consumption so stop expecting it to be what it's not. If the food wasn't SAFE to eat they wouldn't sell it. You really think a BILLION dollar corporation would be allowed to sell harmful food? they are constantly under the radar. So shut up and eat your nuggets, now with 5 sauce options.

Why Coffee Will Help Prevent Type 2 Diabetes

"Now, researchers at UCLA have discovered a possible molecular mechanism behind coffee's protective effect. A protein called sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) regulates the biological activity of the body's sex hormones, testosterone and estrogen, which have long been thought to play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes. And coffee consumption, it turns out, increases plasma levels of SHBG.

Reporting with colleagues in the current edition of the journal Diabetes, first author Atsushi Goto, a UCLA doctoral student in epidemiology, and Dr. Simin Liu, a professor of epidemiology and medicine with joint appointments at the UCLA School of Public Health and the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, show that women who drink at least four cups of coffee a day are less than half as likely to develop diabetes as non-coffee drinkers.

When the findings were adjusted for levels of SHBG, the researchers said, that protective effect disappeared."

website I discovered and love!-Ideeli.com

So you get those ads on the side of your facebook constantly right and usually you think, this is a scam, or too good to be true but I decided to click on one the other day advertising discount prices for designer goods. Now the deal with these usually is that they only have select sizes and extremely limited stock because of whatever reason and thats why they can sell it at this discounted price. The site is
ideeli.com/
It is almost like groupon.com or livingsocial.com in that they give you X amount of time to buy something before the stock runs out and done. Everyday they put up new items, they'll send you an email a day if you want to show you what categories have been added and done.
Yes you have to "sign up" but it's free so who cares.
The only catch I don't like is once you put an item in your cart you have 15 mins to check out or it goes back into the universe. I tried to add an item the day I discovered this website and with in the time I found it and the time I clicked "add" it had been put "on hold" basically so many people put it in their carts it's no longer in stock...UNLESS someone doesn't complete their check out. Then it is re-released. I checked back an hour later or so and it was available in my size so deciding it was fate, I purchased it.
It is in the process of being shipped so I will let you know if it is received in the condition I expect it to be.

I also ordered some valentines lingerie today by Simone Parele, a bra and panties (after shipping) for 36 dollars-$10 of that is shipping. The original list price of that purchase would be $152!! for these kind of savings the $10 shipping is somewhat justified.

The Only unfortunate thing about this is the buying starts at 9am pacific time and with in seconds of it starting you only have enough time to put one item in your cart before it's "on hold" so if you want more than one item and they look popular, your probably screwed. Also if you have an upgraded account you can bid BEFORE the time begins. Now I'm not sure what it takes to be upgraded but I'm sure it's a cost I'm not willing to pay. But the item I truly wanted most today was sold out before time even began. I'm currently on a wait list that I'm sure I will stay on until the time is up. You win some you lose some. None the less an amazing find!
