Wonder Woman and Batgirl Shirts

I really, really want both! ThinkGeek always has the best stuff! Like the nom nom nom bib that we will definitely purchase for our little one. Perhaps I will get these shirts and use them as inspiration to lose weight after the baby comes? Via Fashionably Geek. You may also like: My Top 7 Foundations Sephora Spring Sale 2023 […]

How to Get 5 Million People to Read Your Website

Watch his hilarious and informative presentation by Matthew Inman, the mastermind behind one of my favorite sites, The Oatmeal. The advice isn’t anything I haven’t heard before (ie, use creative headlines, create content that anyone can relate to), but the 5-minute video is still worth watching! Via Geeks are Sexy.

$250k Doesn’t Get You Far in Manhattan

I always said that a six-figure salary doesn’t mean much in Manhattan — it seems like everywhere I turn I run into 26-year-olds making at least $150k a year, or people younger than me buying $1.2 million apartments. (And yes, these are real example of my friends and acquaintances!) According to the White House, the […]

Cell Phone for Kids

I still am astonished whenever I see little kids of grade school age sporting their own mobile phones. “Did I even have anyone to call at that age?” I ask myself. “Didn’t I just go outside to play and expect to meet my friends there?” While I still think that allowing very young children their […]

Star Wars X Adidas Originals: Fall 2010 Collection

I had been updating my original post on the Star Wars X Adidas Originals 2010 shoes, but I think the latest updates on the Fall 2010 collection deserve their own post. Last month, Adidas teased us with the new Han Solo sneakers, the first to be announced as part of the Fall 2010 collection. The […]

“Push Presents” — Yay or Nay?

I had never heard of “push presents” before getting pregnant, but it has come to my attention that it is another heated debate among moms (as if we don’t have enough to disagree on already!). A “push present” (also known as  a “push gift” or “baby bauble”) is a present a new father gives a new […]

Social Media Monopoly

Love this! I would buy it if it were ever to be released as an actual board game, but like the Social Network map, it will probably get outdated very quickly. My only gripe: does anyone use Photobucket anymore? I would think that Picasa Web would be a better choice…   The Board:   Mashable […]
