Will You Decorate For Spring Holidays?

CasaSugar — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 10:00:00 -0800

Glittered eggs, fuzzy bunnies, and pastel cellophane will decorate many a dining room table for the next month in anticipation of one of Spring's most celebrated holidays. Easter is hopping up on us and I've yet to pull out any kitschy egg or chick paraphernalia. Perhaps I'll start slow and ease on into it with the linens and pull out the big ears when it starts to warm up a bit. How 'bout you? Do you make your home frilly for the Spring festivities?

Mardi Gras Around the World

BellaSugar — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 06:00:39 -0800

When you think of Mardi Gras, beads and parades may come to mind, but the holiday is a big deal in lots of places oceans away from New Orleans. In other places, the lead up to Mardi Gras is known as Carnival, so the worldwide celebrations from Rio to Venice are actually the same party. Whatever you call it, though, this week is the world's time for some of the most fabulous makeup, hair, and costuming you'll see all year. So grab a slice of king cake, get in the holiday spirit, and read on.

Do You Celebrate Valentine's Day For Pets?

PetSugar — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 11:00:01 -0800

Remember no chocolates or flower bouquets for furry friends, but what about a Valentine of the squeaky or feathered variety? I'll be sharing lil love gifts for inspiration, but before I do, I'm curious how many of you can't walk past the pink and red in the pet store this time of year?

P.S. If you're interested in cupid's wings, find them on Etsy - cute Pug not included.

Have You Ever Experienced a Post-Holiday Breakup?

TresSugar — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 13:30:44 -0800

If there's no great time for a breakup, right now would be a good time. The holidays are over, and there is still time before Valentine's Day. Parting ways now spares the unwilling partner from going through the lovey-dovey motions of Feb. 14. And while it might be hard for the dumpee to face the romantic holiday, who wants to celebrate Valentine's Day with someone who's not fully committed to the relationship?

FabSugar — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 15:00:22 -0800

Guess where I was this New Year's Eve? Costa Rica, baby! I needed help selecting the perfect NYE outfit. I told you I'll be in beach mode, so I needed something easy, breezy, beautiful. Fun printed maxis are cool, but I was especially feeling sassy minis this year. l started you off with these Kelsi Dagger Beaded Sandals ($120) because they're stunning.

Look #1, created by Sarahab145, is indeed easy, breezy, and beautiful. Love that dress.

BeautifulPeople.com Dumps Members For Gaining Holiday Weight

TresSugar — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 11:00:17 -0800

Exclusive dating site BeautifulPeople.com is 5,000 members lighter after kicking out users who gained holiday weight.

The site, which apparently operates under a middle-school mentality, only lets people into the beautiful club after a sufficient number of existing members deem them attractive enough. Members can also kick off people if they let themselves go. After some users uploaded pics from the holidays, the pretty people police began to complain that some among them had packed on some pounds. Thus, 5,000 members were cut (I'm a little surprised there were 5,000 people to kick out. . . that means people actually use this site!).

The founder doesn't worry extreme exclusivity will hurt the bottom line, saying: "Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model and the very concept for which BeautifulPeople.com was founded."

They should change the site name to AreYouSerious?.com.

Did Your Pets Travel This Season?

PetSugar — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 06:00:51 -0800

Sadly my pooch didn't get to go on any vacays this Christmas, and he didn't even get a nifty souvenir either, sooo neglected. (Yeah, right.) He had a great time at Pet Camp making friends, running around, and simply looking adorable.

Whether you just got back, are still away, or never left home this holiday season, did you go bye bye with your furry friends, snuggle up together . . . or did they stay elsewhere instead? Oh, and don't forget to lemme know how it went, too, in your comments below!
