Link Love :: Sea Hag Edition

Everyday I get off watch at either 0400 or 0600....I go down to my stateroom and put on my pajamas and then I go and sit in my day room for a little bit and cruise the internet.  It helps me unwind and the internet is super duper fast because I'm pretty much the only person awake who's not on watch.  I can't even begin to describe to you how big of a luxury it is to have a day room.....let alone internet in my day room!!!!  I'm going to be spoiled for all other ships (unless I'm the Captain - heh heh)! It seems like when I'm out here I'm drawn to super girlie things....so this edition of link love isn't so much for the guys...but then again, is it ever really?

 

 

I'd love to be described as exquisite - wouldn't you?!  Here are some helpful hints!

Before I left Florida I was horribly addicted to the The Bachelorette.  I've linked to this chick before - she's ridiculously hilarious - and she's saved my life!!!  Check this series out:  The One Where I Watch The Bachelorette So You Don't Have To.

I would kill to be invited to a wine and cheese party....or even to be able to host one!  Check out these wine bottle labels from pinhole press!

Not into wine?  Or maybe you're preggers (huge shout out to my procreating bestie!)?  Serve water!  Check out these totally cute bottles of infused water!

I discovered a blog called **Happiness Is...** and it does make me a little happy inside when I read it!  What made me really happy was learning about this artist.  Remember how I told you about me cutting things out of magazines and then just saving them....or putting them up on my walls....well, awhile back I found some totally cool graphics in an 'O' Magazine - which I've been saving forever because they are too cool to use - and they look just like this!  Apparently it's called Quilling.  Love, love, love!

Sad news this week about Amy Winehouse.  I stumbled upon a tribute To Amy written by Russel Brand - it was simply beautiful....

 

 

That's it for now....here's some pink-y goodness to send you on your way.....

 

Link Love :: Palm Sunday Edition

Watch your thoughts!  It's like the book The Secret....with some homework. I love garden fresh herbs.  Garden fresh herbs in alcohol....yes please!

My Body Likes....what an interesting concept....it definitely got me thinking about what my body likes.

I love local legends!  New Zealand has so much in common with Hawaii.  Pania of the Reef was a new one for me but she definitely caught my fancy.  Slightly mermaid-ish, no?

I'm not a player, I just blog a lot.  Amen sister.  I need one of these.

One of my favorite sites posted 'Currently Crushing: a man's perspective'.  I read through it and thought 'Maybe a gay man'!  I think you'll all agree that these items are hardly 'manly'.  Just sayin'......

Terrariums showed up twice this week....I love terrariums and even had one as a kid that thrived.  Check out some twists on the classic terrarium here and here.

I read this and cried out 'Hallelujah'!  I'm a huge supporter of the public school system.  I plan on sending my kids to one and wish more people shared my belief that public schools prepare children for life and quit throwing money towards a system which promotes a sense of entitlement.

This is my brain on fear.  I've been struggling with this myself as of late....I do plan on blogging about my own brain on fear ;)

Ahhh Facebook.  Such a love hate relationship!  I think this is a good set of Facebook guidelines.  I'm finally starting to grow a Facebook backbone.  I will un-friend you if necessary!  Take that!

TOTALLY.

 

I saved the best (or at least what were my ultimate favorites this week) for last:

Jay-Z interviewed Gwenyth Paltrow.  Several things....first of all....read the interview here....she's mad cool.  Secondly, how wicked is his site Life + Times?!  Lastly, who knew Gwenyth Paltrow had her own site?  Check out GOOP....like I said....mad cool.
