I'm Pining For Pinterest
I have a confession to make. I’ve been having an affair. I’m in full-fledged crush mode right now with Pinterest. I’m being a bit ADD with my inspirations right now, and since I just got a new apartment with Colin (we move from the Upper West Side to Brooklyn on July 1!), I’m going a little nutso with the apartment inspiration boards. As my friend Lewis said,...

Thanks to everyone who has created content that I reblogged this week. Sometimes I don’t have the energy/spark/whathaveyou to generate new unique ideas (possibly because that’s my number one job? It can get exhausting and frustrating even on the best days).
I owe all of you a beer.

Social Media Saturation Point
I was talking to my friend about how/why to use the various social media at our fingertips, and came up with this general rule:
I use Facebook for jokes that you’d have to know me in order to get (and keep my friend list small and intimate), I use tumblr for advertising/design/cooking goodness, I use FourSquare only when I’m around others who use it, and I use twitter for general NYC...

Sometimes when you have leftover herbs, you just need to make up a recipe to use them up. I had a huge bundle of mint from making Jamie Oliver’s pea and mint soup. So after a running a couple of miles, I decided to treat myself to a strawberry mango mint smoothie. (recipe from my head, now named the Pink Leahtard). I thought it sounded good. It was.
Recipe for your very own Pink...

E-Cards for the Digitally Impaired.
Via Agency Spy:
Apparently, Toronto-based FITC, which puts on design and technology events across the globe, has been unable to entice enough advertising creatives to attend its various conferences. So, feeling slightly stung and in the mood to retaliate perhaps, the organization asked Saatchi & Saatchi Canada to come up with a series of “e-cards for...

The other day I got inspired to break out the slow-cooker (or are we calling it a crockpot? Who knows? I can’t keep up with the daily-changing terminology in the every exciting world of lazy cookery). I ordered the smallest pork shoulder possible from Fresh Direct (7 pounds. It was a newborn baby sized pork...
