The Weekly Ten: Laugh a Little
I bought a day-by-day calendar all about being assertive and basically saying “No, thank you” more (but without the ‘thank you’ part). And by “assertive,” I mean it’s filled with hysterical quotes about how it’s okay to be super-bitchy, because we all have those day/moments/weeks/lifetimes…when we need to insert an extra NO! into one thing or another.

Win a $100 Fandango Gift Card! [Giveaway]
Americans have always had a fascination with movies. Before VCRs, movie theaters were the only way to see the best movies. And even now, movie theaters still have an ounce of nostalgia to them, the feeling of letting go of the contemporary world in place of something else.

An Open Letter To My Hair
Please: just work with me. I am trying to help you; I am on your side! I guess I should start with an apology, or two. I’m sorry I burn you, cut you and tie you up. I’m sorry I color you, curl you, straighten you and harass you in countless other ways. If it’s any consolation I do it out of love.

Intro to Cooking: The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook
When I was offered a copy of The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook, I couldn’t say no. I had watched the show a few times, but was more connected to the style of the characters and the nostalgia of an era (that I admittedly have never experienced) rather than the show itself. This cookbook takes episodes and features recipes based on what the characters ate or did.
