A One-Stop Parenting Solution…

(you’ll never have to leave the house!)

I’m the most disorganized, messy, forgetful person you’ll ever meet. And if I had babies, I’d be exactly the kind of person Hollywood star-turned-real-life mommy saver Jessica Alba and serial daddy entrepreneur Christopher are targeting with Honest Company: an “effective, unquestionably safe, eco-friendly, beautiful, convenient, and affordable” brand of baby products bundling together all-natural diapers & wipes, soaps, shampoos, detergents, lotions and balms… delivered straight to your door each month.

One for the ladies, this is Birchbox, a successful cosmetics startup that’s gaining momentum and becoming the go-to service for thousands of women looking to ‘try before you buy’ on the latest beauty products. You pay a $10 monthly fee and receive a freshly picked, hand delivered beauty box filled with cosmetic goodies that you’ll probably really like.

Dedicated to money and career matters, SavvySugar provides women with the tips, advice and tools needed to make informed decisions about their personal finances and careers. Not being a woman myself, it was quite difficult to really review this site. There are though some great articles dotted around for you gals to explore like ‘How Not to Behave at the Office Party’, or ‘Is It Legal For My Employer to Deny Sick Pay?’.

Women, get your personal finance and career on track with SavvySugar!

The Sweetest Occasion – The Sweetest Occasion is a wedding and lifestyle blog devoted to event design and details for celebrating stylish events, weddings and special occasions. A devoted following of readers come for content covering a diverse yet highly edited range of wedding ideas, party inspiration, paper and stationery, handmade goods, entertaining, decor and featured events of all shapes and sizes.

StyleCaster – StyleCaster is a leading platform that creates and curates the best content from across women’s lifestyle into a comprehensive style experience. They are committed to bringing you the most innovative experience that streamlines the process of style discovery by combining premium content, discussion through an engaged community and the seamless ability to purchase through e-commerce into one exciting platform.

Singer22 – Claiming to be the headquarters for the latest in fashion on Long Island’s North Shore, Singer22 is a powerful retailer store that offers top fashion brands along lesser known yet celebrity-worn clothes. And I’m pretty sure their customer audience has long expanded from Long Island to the entire country.

Bloesem – The weird-named blog network is Irene Hoof’s sophisticated and elegant source of “ideas for design, for leisurely pursuits, for creating soul-soothing interiors, for love of the handmade, for vintage appreciation, for the art of traveling.” Relish in large doses of beauty and creativity via Bloesem, and find inspirations for the home, your kids, your next trip and many other in-between life moments.

I loved browsing through Irene’s design finds and ideas, and even though I don’t necessarily plan on making any purchases soon, there’s no harm in some hardcore window shopping. Here’s one particular post on vintage ceramics I adored and wanted to share (by Stig Lindberg):

Kendi Everyday – When young and gorgeous Kendi got married and moved with her husband to a small town, everyone thought the natural next step for her would be having a baby. Instead, she started a fashion lookbook-ish blog where each post shows Kendi in a different outfit. The photos are amazing (thanks to her talented hubby photographer), colorful and they all make you want to dash to the nearest shopping mall.

What I love about Kendi Everyday is that in each post she includes a hand-written comment that tells you where she got that skirt, blouse and shoes. Most blogs with a similar concept include these much sought-after details in the lowest frame of the post, often even in the comment section. Kendi puts it right on top, and right under the photo she’ll provide direct links that will take you to the item’s respective online shop! Now, here’s Kendi herself, definitely working it.

Gojee – This recipe site -named after the funny looking berry from southeastern Europe and Asia- stands out from conventional recipe sites for a few obvious reasons. First, from the first moment you enter Gojee, all you see are large, hi-res, mouth-watering photos. Second, the site shows you (as opposed to merely ‘finds’) curated recipes depending on what you crave and what you currently have at home, while the system eliminates what you hate or can’t eat. The free style recipe search is also available if you must.

Whatever recipe you fall in love with can be shared on Facebook, Twitter or via email, and you can also mark it as a favorite. Who curated and tested these to-drool-for recipes? Meet the savvy cooks and foodie bloggers behind the scenes.

Style Me Pretty – This chic A to Z wedding spot is “a style savvy wedding resource devoted to the modern bride” that covers “everything from gorgeous real weddings to up and coming vendors and seasoned pros in the invitation, floral, fashion and photography industries.”

This Weekly Blog winner is loaded with inspiring and practical wedding day ideas which will certainly come in handy in taking some of the planning stress off of your shoulders. To give you an example, I went straight to Style Me Pretty’s Real Weddings section since I feel the best ideas come from tried and tested weddings. Here’s a wonderful gallery example, brought to us by the Utah Wedding at Conrad Ranch.
