Brands to Watch: Bark Decor

There are some real hidden gems buried within Etsy, all you need is a little shove in the right direction. I'm really loving the designs over at Bark Decor.

Reasons To Love It:

1. Sophisticated color palette with neutral tones to match everything.

2. Each piece is hand printed and made-in-America.

3. The artwork is absolutely stunning.

4. Reasonably priced. You can get shittier, similar stuff from the  Anthropologie/Urban Outfitters menace for about $40 more.

5. Support small businesses and artists!

So head on over. You can get shirts, bottoms, pillows and even jewelery! I'll take one of everything.

ONE DAY I WILL GO TO BURNING MAN

Stunning, ephemeral, angelic. It's been on my bucket list for like 5 years. One day, I will be a part of it.

Bumpin' Uglies by Jamie DeWolf

This poem by Jamie DeWolf (interesting fact: the grandson of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard) is giving me life. It's a beautiful message wrapped up in a deliciously offensive package.

Offensive Content Warning: "Big, bad" words and sexual situations

Thank you Mr. DeWolf, now I don't feel too bad about my daily Creole Creamery ice cream cone.

You Know What Really Grinds My Gears?!: IPHONES (And a Begrudged Shopping Guide)

IPhones REALLY grind my gears. Specifically the way the iPhone has SOMEHOW become analogous with the word cell phone. All phones are NOT iPhones (thank God) and everyone doesn't own an iPhone! I could honestly write a dissertation on all the reasons I hate Apple products and iPhones, but today my grudge is against the monopoly iPhones have on the case/cover market.

Like can a sister get a beautiful phone cover for her NON-IPHONE!? There's this huge untapped market of cell phone owners who are missing out on all the great work that's being put into iPhone accessories!!!! Can someone invent a website, like Society 6, but where all of the items are phone cases. So if someone wants a specific print for their Galaxy...or Lumia OR IPHONE, they can get it in the same place?!

(Sidebar, Society 6 is a glorious website of creativity and customization that everyone should be aware of!)

ANYWAY. Here are some pretty bomb ass phone cases I'd buy IF I HAD an iPhone. (And better yet, I would buy if they'd make them for my more superior phone.)

CALCULATOR!!!!!
Okay seriously. People don't understand the struggle that is calculating discounts from the sale rack. Ain't nobody got time to figure out how much 60% off of $39.99 is. And time spent looking for the calculator app is time NOT SPENT looking for more bargains. #NECESSARY.

NAIL POLISH
Because honestly the print quality is jaw dropping. It looks so REAL.
