Essie Bridal Nails

Refinery 29 recently posted a great little piece on Essie nail polishes.  The brand created a line of fabulous bridal colors that would accent any sparkling ring.  The soft creamy pastel colors are subtle yet playful and would work on both the bride and bridesmaids.  The line has been described as celebrating "brides who are confident and want to have fun with color, yet with a nod to tradition."

Will You Marry Me?

In 1979, Pepsi used a skywriter to write “Marry Me Sue” in the sky, becoming what is one of their most well known advertisements. Since then, skywriting has been a big way of popping the question. But like everything else, it has evolved. Say goodbye to the old school airplanes, and say hello to the digital version.

Bootcamp Lights, run by Kyle Benham and Robert Schapiro, is headlining this change. Their customized R22 helicopter has a 36- X 8-foot digital billboard on the bottom, that can flash anything you want. The brilliant entrepreneurs are hoping that their neon-bright advertisements will catch everyone’s attention after years of the same old airplanes dragging banners and leaving smoking trails.

So, if you’re looking for creative ways to ask that special girl to marry you, or advertise your latest invention, look no further.

Becoming a Social Traveler

The Honeymoon: Your chance to exhale.  A well-deserved vacation giving both of you the chance to finally take a deep breath, relax and celebrate the beginning of a new chapter together.  But one last question: how do we choose the perfect destination and are we getting a good deal?  

The first thought is to lean on the trusty Tour Guide Book or an online resource like TripAdvisor, but with the age of Social Media comes some game-changing websites for the helpless honeymooners or even the seasoned world travelers.  Instead of relying on the written word of strangers, social media websites like Gogobot.com  and Gtrot.com have revolutionized the way spouses are writing their next chapters.  These websites allow you to be your own tour guide and they utilize social media to give honeymooners the opportunity to share hotel, restaurant and other travel recommendations with their friends and followers.  
Gogobot gives you the tools to create a digital travel scrapbook via FourSquare and Facebook check-in’s and was created on the theory that travelers trust their friends’ recommendations and photos over out-dated guide books and online travel sites.  
On the other hand, Gtrot is taking the social media concept one step further and incorporating the Groupon’s and Living Social’s of the world to pool together daily deals for your preferred destinations.  This gives honeymooners the chance to create their dream vacation but at the same time saving a few bucks.  While these are only two of the options available to honeymoon planners, it is important for you to remember that you no longer have to stress about the planning or the cost of kicking off your next chapter together.  You can now rest assured that you are one click, ‘Like’ or ‘Follow’ away from your happily ever after...

Pop-ular

Popcorn is having a moment. We hope it goes on forever. Popsations, a popcorn company in Baltimore, makes seven different flavors of popcorn that you can order in small bags, or in tins of one, two, three or six and a half gallons of popcorn. It is perfect for a popcorn bar at a wedding or to include in hotel gift bags.

There’s also a popcorn company in New Orleans called Popcorn Bistro which  has over 100 different types of popcorn, including Classic Kettlecorn, Mesquite Barbecue, Nerds (the Wonka candy), Steak, and Peanut Butter Chocolate. Yum! If popcorn is one of your favorite things (and why wouldn’t it be) you can share the love with individual popcorn gift bags and presents, for people who like it just as much as you do.
