Saturday Special + Autumn is here

It's been a very, very long week, and I definitely have the bruises (both literal and figurative) to show for it. I hope this weekend lasts for a while longer.

Saturday special + A hot weekend

I didn't get a chance to finish this post yesterday, so here is a weekend update! (And just a heads up, I might not be able to blog as regularly once school starts.)

Great collection of photos from the first nine days of the London Olympics. (via Atlantic)

Kale chips. Easy to make and they feel healthier than regular chips. I've been making these all week. (via Spice Ame Cooks)

Gross. Why do I still want to try it? (via Firebox)

This is a nice way of looking at accomplishment and compromise. (via swissmiss)

There's this running joke that I'm in love with birds. I'm not. But I think this salt bowl is super adorable. I'M NOT. (via Our Workshop)

I always forget if peeing on a jellyfish sting helps or is just a myth created to make people pee on their loved ones. The answer: don't do it. (via mental_floss)

What does the Mars rover landing and Community have in common? Stars. (via flavorpill)

Before/afters are always so inspiring. (via Design*Sponge)

Love love the kumquat centerpieces. (via Creative Comforts)

I got to amble in some sunflower fields this past week! It was beautiful and bee-filled.

Have a great rest of the weekend!

Friday night links + A liberating weekend

Spring seems to be having its last hurrah with all these festivals popping up everywhere, so make sure to visit at least one before they're over! Then again, there are always summer festivals to look forward to.

In that vein, I think these braided hairstyles would be perfect for festival-goers. And everyone else. (via Refinery29)

Fancy DIY Geode bottle stoppers. (via cupcakes and cashmere)

First that spinning how-to and now a guest article on goop. Funnyman Max Greenfield is on his way up. (via goop)

Too true. (via Fuck! I'm in my 20s)

A pretty wooden blanket. (via Elisa Strozyk)

Hanako flats. (via Anthropologie)

This is interesting. A George Mason University professor encourages his students to fabricate stories about serial killers, beer, and pirates. They successfully conned people on Wikipedia, but were exposed by the almighty reddit. (via the Atlantic)

I didn't think I could ever appreciate a critique of modern art, but this explanation of Tobias Wong's work makes sense. I just thought gold made everything shinier. (via The Fox is Black)

Cannes sounds like so much fun this time of year. I wish they would stop wasting linen napkins too. (via Lainey Gossip)

Community. (via The First Chang Dynasty)

This man decided to leave the internet for a year. That's brave. (via The Verge)

The internet isn't leaving us anytime soon, however. Facebook is now valued at $100 billion. (via The Verge)

Have a great weekend ♥ .

Friday night links + A fantastic weekend

This is awesome. And pretty. And creative. (via Griottes)

Kitty day spas. (via Lustik)

I want this more than last Friday's bike planter. Step #1 is still getting a bike. (via A CUP OF JO)

More Community fan-art. This time, they're drawn as Charlie Brown characters. (via CinemaBlend)

If you have time, Black Tomato is offering a 32 island tour of Mozambique. (via Black Tomato)

One week!

NBC needs to put Community back on their schedule. I know you're probably tired of hearing this, but give it a shot! I think it's a bit of an exaggeration to call it a show that is "changing television history", but it is undeniably heartwarming, quirky, and hilarious.

Friday night links + A breezy weekend

I've been watching way too much TV.

"Hey Girl." The Ryan Gosling craze is so silly, but I might be a supporter of it. He's adorable. (via Apartment Therapy)

I watched 50/50 a couple days ago and thought it was cute the whole way through. Here's a link for the movie, but erm... don't profit off it and all that. (via Ufliq)

L.A. Hotspots. Entering a bar through a wardrobe seems nifty. (via Refinery29)

Speaking as someone who likes to spend a looong time wrapping presents, I'd say this looks like a lot of effort. Still, it's beautiful, and now I really want to make some poppy gift toppers. (via Creature Comforts)

Also, DIY candy lights! Why are people so creative? (via Oh Happy Day!)

Another Community that is both sweet and streets ahead. I'd stock my fridge with Eugenio's Four-Cheese Pizza if we could all have #sixseasonsandamovie. (You can watch it on Hulu!)

I don't watch The Sing-Off regularly, but I had the chance to go to the taping for the finale earlier this week, and this song has been stuck in my head ever since:

The wind knocked a branch down and broke our trellis, but I've been enjoying the wind anyway. Hope you have a breezy one!

Favorites + Community

Until 30 Rock comes back, I will be bombarding you with Community tidbits. Here is the sexiest man alive. Enjoy.

Friday night links + Beautiful weekend

Ready to kick back? The weekend is here ☺.

A tomato fight is happening on the 22nd at the LA County fairgrounds. Just to tide you over until you can get to Spain for the real battle. (via Thrillist Rewards)

Another fun-looking event. Has anyone been to the beer garden at the Standard in Downtown, LA yet? It seems so warm and cozy. Just to tide you over until you get to Germany. I guess. (via The Standard)

This colorful blog is participating in a giveaway! (via The Color Issue)

Remember pogs? The funniest part is the nodding. (via Completely Serious Comics)
  
Community is great again. And now my bathroom will always be stocked with toilet olives. Recap (via Hitflix) and review. (via TIME blog)

So relatable. What do you call your parents? (via A CUP OF JO)

I'll be the first to admit that how beautiful something is influences the decisions I make. Watch Richard Seymour explain our response to beauty in one of this week's TED talks. (via TED)

Have a beautiful weekend.
