It’s A Valentine’s Day Post!

itsyowyow — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 07:31:41 +0000

If you haven’t gotten on top of your gifts for Valentine’s Day this year yet, then you better get moving. Me, being the V-day rookie that I am, completely dropped the ball this week with my midterms and didn’t even realize that ordering Shari’s Berries later would result in a higher shipping cost. No strawberries for Katie this year unfortunately. Of course, I think my friend Alyssa promptly put me in my place when she asked me, “Can’t you just make those yourself?” Touche, Alyssa. Touche.

I meant to make this post a lot earlier for all of you, but life gets in the way sometimes. If you were relying on me to help you out with what to get for Valentine’s Day this year, then I apologize.

Here’s what you can do though if you’re sluffing:

The Stranger via Cupcake Royale

1. Desserts are great. Shari’s Berries is still awesome and if I could suck up my stubborness, I would dish out that shipping fee, but I can’t. Another alternative is Cupcake Royale’s Deathcake. The deathcake is injected with chocolaty goodness and Stumptown’s espresso ganache. YUM.

2. Another alternative that I wanted to take advantage of this year was making Valentine’s Day cards. This used to be my favorite thing as a child, buying the cutest Valentine’s Day cards to give to all of my classmates and making sure that the best messages went to my best friends while the generic, “You are sweet!” ones went to everyone else. The makers wouldn’t have made more of the generic ones and less of the better ones if that wasn’t their point. As young children, they taught us how to play favorites…Anyways! I wanted to make cards for all of my co-workers this year and since all of us are a pretty silly bunch, I knew they would appreciate it. The valentine above was made by a lovely lady named Beth who has constructed a number of cards for the holiday this year revolving around pop culture subjects.

3. This little item is called the “Smitten Snuggle” and it is designed for the couple that still wants to hold hands with each other while braving the winter weather. It’s pretty much the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.

Victoria’s Secret Angels Kiss and Tell

itsyowyow — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 22:51:51 +0000

I am really glad that Victoria’s Secret has decided to bring their angels to the forefront in these cute videos that they keep making. Up until this year, I believed that every Victoria’s Secret model was an “angel.” It never occurred to me that the angels were the actual spokeswomen for the brand though. I have found that models have a very difficult time connecting with their audience because if you think about, when do you ever hear them speak while they are working? On the runway, they are simply modeling, but they follow this standard and unlike say – an actress or an athlete or musician, you never get a sense of their personality. These videos allow them to do just that.

Lily’s just my favorite!

I know the name of the blog sort of has a negative connotation, but the home decor photographs are so pretty, it makes me think that the meaning is just the opposite! Prepare to lust over the best furniture and home inspiration ever here.

Can You Match Your Colors?

itsyowyow — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 02:26:29 +0000

How well can you match your colors? I actually tried this last night when I was about to fall asleep at my desk and received a disappointing score of 5.5 – extremely happy to say that I have since raised that score since I took it when I was wide awake and alert. 6.3 is still pretty unfortunate, but it’s a whole lot better than the original.

If you are bored at work or trying to put off school stuff, this will do the job. Try the color test here.

UPDATE: 11:38 PM – I just got a 7.3
