Crayola’s Skin Tone Box

In what will be their most inclusive release yet, Crayola is releasing a box dedicated entirely to skin tones. Announced by Crayola, the box is for children to “accurately color themselves into the world.” The pack, called “Colors of the World,” will include 24 new crayons.

“With the world growing more diverse than ever before, Crayola hopes our new Colors of the World crayons will increase representation and foster a greater sense of belonging and acceptance. We want the new Colors of the World crayons to advance inclusion within creativity and impact how kids express themselves.”

The new crayons will be released this coming July, but you can begin preorders [here.] I really love the messaging behind this release. As a child with my crayons, this was always something that was challenging for me.

Clinique vs. Crayola Chubby Sticks

When I first laid eyes on this Crayola Chubby Stick Lip Balm set, I wished I had discovered these before Christmas instead of after New Years! How cute are these?! I feel like every woman would want to own this set and if every shade isn’t for you (when is it ever?) then at least just keep it on display. I love the shade of Melon and for those days when you’re trying to keep it minimal – I’d select Fuzzy Wuzzy. I’m also strangely attracted to Mango Tango. It may not be an everyday look, but how fun would it be to bring this out with you for a Friday or Saturday night?

This latest collaboration between Cinique and Crayola is pure genius. The entire collection of Chubby Sticks are out to the public already and being sold for $17 each. However, you don’t want to wait until the last minute – this collection is only available through February so make sure you collect your favorites ASAP!

How Crayola Crayons Are Made

[vimeo http://vimeo.com/102961824]

Last weekend, someone showed me a series of “How Things Work” type videos. I probably watched about 6 of them and now this week, I’m posting my own which I find to be kind of funny. I actually was genuinely interested in how Crayola Crayons were made though and I find this to be quite fascinating. This video was done by Wired.
