Think of a city you’ve been to: Paris, Rome, New york? Now think of a must see in each one of them. Doing it quickly and randomly, I would name The Louvre, the Sistine Chapel and the MOMA. Art, art and more art. Andy Warhol used to say that “An artist is somebody who produces things that people don’t need to have.” In my opinion, art’s not something you need to have, but is definitely something you need to see. So on that note, let me introduce you to ThunderChunky – a website all about art and up ‘n’ coming artists… and something genuinely important to do with your day.

When it comes to shopping, there are two kinds of people: brand followers and bargain hunters: you either love big brands and will spend to get them, or you love a cool bargain, and will hunt through independent stores, charity shops and online until you get it. If you’re the latter, allow me to introduce you to Storenvy, a pioneer of social shopping on a huge platform for indie sellers, traders and their very unique customers.

Let’s play a little association game: Think of a DIY tool and a colour… (If you thought of a red hammer you picked the same as 98% of the people asked this question at the All My Faves HQ!) Now think of a DRESS and a color… Not quite so easy this time is it… unless you use the Pimkie Color Forecast that is! Pimkie – a European clothing label for “energetic young women” has developed the Color Forecast – a fun, little tool to help you pick the perfect color outfit to wear… it lets you see what colors people are wearing right now in the fashion capitals of Paris, Milan and Antwerp… and it’s not creepy at all… honest…

Future Me: Have you ever wanted to write your future self a letter, to be opened at a set date in the future? Well FutureMe.org is a simple website set up to let you do just that!

How happy do you feel today? Being happy is not only a matter of circumstances. It’s a matter of choice, or in the case of Illuum, a website’s choice! If you’re determined to be happy, no one can take that away from you. But the truth is, it’s not always so easy to pull it off, and that’s where Illuum steps in to help you: Illuum is a decision making engine that lets you rate your days, see what makes you happy, and track your happiness over time!

Going to College or University is a huge decision: Which one is the best? Are you willing to move out from your state? And most importantly: Can you afford it? Even though I never had the American experience of studying, I can tell something about my own country, Argentina:  It’s the State’s duty to provide it for all its citizens and paying is only a matter of choice. And even better, the public University is considered to be among the top ones in South America. Now imagine such privilege in the USA: having the opportunity to access the world class education so far only available to a select few, with millions of other students, without having to leave your home. “If you will it, it is no dream” assured Theodore Herzl. I guess Coursera proves him right…

“The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophe“, assures an Albert Einstein quote. The concern about global energy disasters has been in the minds of scientists and politics for a long time and has now reached the Internet through Counterspill.org –  “a living archive that combines best in class reporting, research, social media and community engagement.” Based on the premise that press is the Fourth Estate, Counterspill intends to create and respond — week by week, month by month, year by year — to energy industry narratives.

When it comes to vacations, there are two kinds of people: the ones that pack their stuff and drop into some random city from one day to the other catching everyone by surprise (“the adventurers“); and the ones that book everything in advance and are completely freaked out by the thought of disorganization (“the stressed“, don’t be offended if that’s you, I’m one of the bunch myself!)…

Are you one of those people who cross off the days in the calendar waiting for the weekend? Do you have anxiety attacks just thinking of the next time you’ll have a beer with your friends? Is your ringtone one of David Guetta’s latest hits? Is your screensaver a picture of Lady Gaga? If you answered “yes” to at least one of this questions it means you’re probably a victim of what I like to call ‘end-of-weekend-blues’ (it being Monday at the time of writing…). But don’t worry, All My Faves has the cure and it’s only a couple of clicks away: it’s called Plug DJ and it’s the hottest party spot on the web, a nonstop dance party that lasts… all day long!
