The Weekender, No. 10: Pretty. Delicious. Guts.

For a New Locale to Explore: I Heart Guts Pop-Up Shop

{healthy hearts vs black hearts}

Honestly, some of their gut taglines make me cringe a little. But since they also make me laugh, I guess it evens out.

If you've never heard of I Heart Guts, it's this company that sells organ plushies with faces. Their plushies are actually rather cute, if a little... odd. I have nerdy friends from high school, so appreciation of biology humor {and chem humor and physics humor} comes with the territory.

In light of Valentine's Day, I Heart Guts has set up their own pop-up shop {a temporary storefront for an online business for those of you not in the know} in Los Angeles and 10% of the money they earn there is going to help out a charity. I really want to check out this place-- sounds quirky and geeky and I like it. *grins* Anyone want to give me a ride?


For the Next Potential Culinary Venture: Cookie Dough Cheesecake

{because this looks sooo amazingly healthy... right?}

Short ingredients list, easy instructions? Approve. Mayhaps I'll try this for Junior-Freshman Dessert Night in a few weeks. I still haven't figured out what to bring yet...


For Wishful Thinking: UO's Suede & Leather Oxford Heel in Tan

{so I'm a little preppy, what can I say?}

Aren't they pretty? Aaand they're on sale. But one of the disadvantages of having small feet is that I usually can't buy pretty shoes. They're all too big. *sigh* Someone buy these and wear them for me, kays?


For Those Bursts of Creativity: Painted Soup Cans

{from the blog: For the Love}

I love spray paint and we have a lot of bottles and cans hanging around, so why not make them pretty? This is an easy project that looks like I can do while living in the apartments, so as soon as someone's willing to drive me to Home Depot or Walmart {for spray paint}, these will happen.


For Pure Aesthetic Pleasure: Walnut Paperie



{from their homepage}

Emily, over at Cupcakes and Cashmere, uses this company to print her business cards and goshdarnit, they're so cute! I personally love Moo.com, but for those with a bigger budget, this should definitely be an option. Pretty...
