Linklove: Hungry for Something

June 24, 2011 | By

Today I enlisted Melissa here, who always shoots me emails with fun links, to collect 5 of her favorite links of the week. This morning we told you what to eat to drop lbs by tomorrow… now let the food times roll.

  • Forget the beach, head to your kitchen? Tan with food. (Yahoo! Shine)
  • 58 ways to burn 100 calories without trying… including hosting a dinner party. Nice! (SELF)
  • What to eat when you’re dying of heat? Cool of with quinoa and some other yummy foods. (Betty Confidential)
  • Tirimisu Custard… guilt free? Sign me up. (Fit Bottomed Girls)
  • Wash that down with some homemade peach iced green tea. Picnic time! (The Luxury Spot)

Linklove: James Bond Must Know About The Butters

June 17, 2011 | By

Father’s Day is Sunday, and this week’s #linklove has nothing to do with it. But I had to remind you… we have statistical proof Dad wants a spa day and you can still get SpaWeek Gift Cards for 15% off! And now, your explanation for the above:

- A raging Vlogger is “So Pissed at Black People”… for hiding away THE BUTTERS! Where my fellow Cocoa Butter fanatics at? (Afrobella)

- Perfume Intelligence: Next year they’ll be releasing a James Bond 007 inspired perfume to coincide with the 23rd film in the series. Some things never get old I suppose; here are Bond-y scents from years past. (BellaSugar)

- So, Kim Kardashian’s wedding registry at GEARY’S leaked like wild (surely an accident, that Kim is so modest). Wouldn’t life be sweeter with a $710 sugar bowl? (The Frisky)

- Turn a negative into a positive… with a DIY lamp made out of the negatives of your old photos. (The Luxury Spot)

- Peep these gorgeous photos of the earth from above, and have an out of this world weekend! (LiveFastMag)
