Something Yummy: Eco-Friendly Disposable Utensils

Ok so that headline is a bit of a mouthful but I am excited to share this with you guys. While doing my daily blog stalking, I came across these beautiful and earth-friendly utensils, as discussed on Bluelines (one of my favorite design/everything blogs)

This cutlery is made from bamboo and is biodegradable (after about 4-6 months). I really love the simple look, and the neutral tone of the wood. I think these are totally great and a good alternative to your ordinary disposable utensils. According to the article you can find these here and here. I'd love to take these with me on a picnic for two looking over San Diego bay or use them for a summer bbq with friends!

Yummy Home Continued: Family Tree

Sorry if this is a bore, but I had to share this with you. I found this in my daily Etsy finds newsletter, and i just loved it. I would love to have this in my house, and it would definitely make a great gift. May be completely customized to fit your family, home, etc. Without further adieu, the family tree wall decal:

(not so crazy about the black and green...but you get the idea)
I'm already thinking up family and friends that this might be perfect for. And don't worry, my friends, you can get this little gem at the low price of $15.00! Check out this shop for more frugal finds.

Yummy Home: Wall Decals

Living in a rented space for the past 5 or so years of my life, I have been frustrated with the limitations that it sometimes places on design, especially when it comes to your walls. Either they don't want you to paint, or you can only paint certain colors or by the time you decide you want to paint, your lease will be up - frustration! White walls can sometimes be very cool, clean and modern in the right place, but I love color so I have been searching for a solution that will work for my (and many other people's situations). WALL DECALS. I first spotted these little guys at Ikea not long ago and I liked the idea.

Not long after I also stumbled upon these:

These can be found at an online store called dvider. I truly fell in love with the idea after seeing these. The ones for children's rooms are seriously fab.
And last but not least, check out these super cool decals for baby/kids' rooms found at the one and only Target:


The first 3 are from the same 'line' called DwellStudio. I have read around on other blogs and they have talked a lot about the amazing stuff this company does, and have said great things about their Target line. It's darline. And I had to include the truck/car one because I thought it was just too cute! Enjoy!

Yummy Wear: Undies on Lollipops



This is the definition of Yummy!  This Juicy Couture underwear on a lollipop stick is so adorable.  I just love creative packaging.  If I bought one, I don't think I would ever wear the panties because the packaging is so cute.  I love this idea.  I am thinking of how many things I could wrap as a lollipop and giving them away as presents (t-shirts, baby onesies, boxers).
