egg shapers

I love little trinkets that can make something ordinary into something very special.

These egg shapers ($3.20 - 3.50, jbox.com) are not only adorable, but easy to use. You simply hard-boil your egg, peel the egg, place it into the mold, then either put the mold in the fridge or cold water for 10 minutes and poof! a cute little egg.

Of course, some people prefer their eggs sunny-side-up. With this type of egg shaper ($5.95, mcphee.com), you simply crack the egg into the shaper while its on the frying pan. Can't get much easier than that.

Pillows of LOVE!

Almost in response to my previous post, I found this site with pillowcases designed for couples and they are SUPER CUTE!!! I will for sure buy ($36 a pair, boldloft.com) these when I move in with the boyfriend.

A pillow to match your needs

Everyone appreciates the original fluffy white pillow. But what if you need something more than that? Something that shows what you love or fills the void of whats missing in your life. Here are some specialized pillows to suite whatever you like:



The Icon Pillow Collection
(throwboy.com)
Perfect for the computer nerd.








Sushi Pillow
(theoriginalsushipillow.com)
Just too cute.


The Boyfriend Pillow
Need a man?





The Lap Pillow
Men have their needs, too!
(sorry no link for these last 2)

This is why you're fat

One of my passions in life is FOOD! Which is why I absolutely love the website http://www.thisiswhyyourefat.com/ (massive props to the creators). It's all about "deliciously gross food" -- the food that'll make your stomach growl and mouth water, but probably give you a heart attack, too.

Here's a glimpse of what the site is like:



From top to bottom:
1. Chicago Deep Dish Pizza (it's literally a pizza pie!)
2. Egg n’ Ham Sammich (mMmm egg)
3. Giant Breakfast Burrito (that's what I like to call a burrito!)
4. The Gastronomic Surprise Maxi Rainbow 24 Scoop Ice Cream Sundae
