Since moving, I've formed a wonderful "me time" habit that I look forward to each week. I crawl into bed or curl up on a couch and read the hundreds of blogs I love. I have an iPad and using an app called
FlipBoard, my reading is much like sitting down with magazines (an old habit I loved). I typically do this on the weekend when the family is fluttering nearby busy with their own tasks.
I read everything from design and architecture blogs to technical trade magazines. I'll even share a secret pleasure that I read occasionally -
The Superficial, a celebrity gossip magazine. Don't judge me! I need to get my Hollywood/snark fix more often than just reading People Magazine at my hair salon once a month.
As you can see on the right side bar, I am everywhere online. Besides this blog, I share some of my finds on
Tumblr and
Pinterest. Yet, I still feel the need to post a weekly round up of other things here. I hope you will find something new and interesting, too. Also, feel free to drop by my other social media sites. And, don't be shy. Leave me a comment somewhere. I'll see it and appreciate it and try my best to comment back.
Without further delay, here is this week's ROUNDUP:
Lace vase - designed by Milk Design Shop (via
NotCot.org) - turn any jar into a vase with this innovative top.
Trail Mix Smooshbars - recipe via Today's Nest - trail mix and Rice Crispy Treats smooshed into a chewy treat.
22 Cool and Creative Drinking Glasses via Bored Panda
A very funny fight (relating to
Put a Bird on It) between
a blogger and the creators of
Portlandia - you've gotta read the comments after you read the post.
