Radio shows?

Posted on 08:50 by gaurav kumar
Do you guys ever listen to radio? On Saturday mornings, when I'm hanging out with Toby and stacking blocks on the floor and making his breakfast, it would be awesome to have a radio show playing in the background. Do you guys have any recommendations of shows you like? I'd love to hear!

P.S. My one radio obsession: This American Life. (Don't you have a secret crush on Ira Glass?) Here are my ten favorite episodes. All so genius.

Have a great weekend.

Posted on 15:07 by gaurav kumar
My sweets, what are you doing this weekend? We're going out for sushi tonight and heading to the Pulse Art Fair tomorrow. (I'm hoping to meet Kim McCarty, whose paintings are amazing!) We're also trying to convince Toby that crawling might be fun now that's he's nine months old. He prefers to just sit and chill. :) Meanwhile, here are a few fun links from around the web...

AMAZING ship wallpaper!!!

Ahoy! The cutest sailor jeans.

Awesome fabrics of London + Paris.

Polka dots in Milan.

The loneliest whale in the world.

Beautiful moon print.

Michigan mittens!

A clip from Annie Hall to make you smile.

A dinosaur birthday party.

Beautiful childhood photos from the (brand new!) Momfilter.

Since a few readers asked, the red lipstick that Caroline was wearing was Covergirl Outlast Lipstain in Wild Berry.

Plus, three of my favorite Cup of Jo posts:
* City Hall wedding in overalls.
* Cute families.
* Belly shots.

Have a good one, my darlings!

How to boil an egg

Posted on 10:09 by gaurav kumar
Alex cooks all the time, but the one thing that he can never seem to figure out is how exactly to boil an egg. It's weirdly hard! (I always hear him cursing in the kitchen.) So I was psyched to come across this funny website, Eggwatchers, which walks you right through it. Bravo!

Three twisted buns

Posted on 11:21 by gaurav kumar
I'm excited to share another hair tutorial! You know those days when you want your hair to look pretty but you only have a minute? Well, my friend Caroline swears by this gorgeous set of three twisted buns ("like cinnamon rolls!" she says). So she came over to explain exactly how to do them, and the wonderful Jamie Beck took a few photographs. And guess what? They really were quick and easy.

Here are Caroline's steps, if you'd like to try them out...

1. This style is so easy, it's laughable. Day-old hair is best (which is true for most hairstyles, since it's easier to work with hair that has a little dirt in it).

2. Divide your hair into three equal parts and quickly spray each section with a little hairspray to help give it hold. Let the hairspray set for a couple seconds, and then lightly comb it out.

3. Take the section on your right side, and twist your hair all the way down to the end. You want to twist counter-clockwise, toward your face. Wrap the right section in on itself, just like you're making a little bun. Let some of the hair stick out, it's ok (you don't want them to look like Princess Leia buns).

4. Pin the right bun in place. I like to use these mini bobby pins, since they're easier to hide and they're coated in rubber so they hold your hair better.

5. Next, twist the middle section clockwise and pin. Then twist the left section clockwise and pin.

6. Spray the three buns with a little more hairspray, and you're done!

See? Super simple!
Here's the look, feminine and easy breezy. What do you think, my darlings? Thank you so much, Caroline and Jamie! xoxoxo

P.S. Past hair tutorials, including the perfect side ponytail and braided top bun.

Etsy: Vintage wishlist

Posted on 08:16 by gaurav kumar
I was just peeking around etsy and spotted this rad vintage ship mirror. (We have one in our apartment and love it.) Someone should snap it up!
And how sweet is this brass dog? He'd look so earnest and attentive on a desk.

Baby trashes bar

Posted on 08:45 by gaurav kumar

Swedish director Johannes Nyholm made this hilarious short film, starring his baby, about a middle-aged woman on vacation trashing a bar. We were dying laughing -- even if you don't like watching videos online, you have to watch it.

(Thanks, Michael)

Pinhole Press

Posted on 11:08 by gaurav kumar
My lovelies, have you heard of the new Pinhole Press? They have beautiful, simple photo products--like cards, books, framed prints and notepads. You personalize them with your favorite photos (wedding, baby, vacations), and it's really easy to do. The finished products are gorgeous with silky paper. Take a peek here.

(A fun side note: My friends launched Pinhole Press a few months ago. I'm excited to say that I'm partnering up with them this year and I'll be sharing new products and fun ideas on Cup of Jo. Hope you love them as much as I do!)
