tedkerwin / CC by 2.0 This one’s scarier than that shower scene from Carrie : It’s been shown before, but there’s more news that researchers in the U.K. have found a link between high meat consumption and early periods in girls

 Protest SeaWorld From Your Living Room

From plane flyovers to 18-hour tub-ins , people are saying “enough” to SeaWorld’s exploitation of orcas, bottlenose dolphins, and other animals. And now, even if you live nowhere near Orlando, San Antonio, or San Diego—where SeaWorld forces marine mammals to spend their entire lives in tiny tanks—you can still make a difference for animals if you RSVP to our virtual protest on Facebook and participate in it on June 18. SeaWorld, which owns most of the captive orcas and bottlenose dolphins in the U.S., has a hideous history of animal exploitation.

 Reccession Chic: Hot Shorts For Hot Days At $50 Or Less!

The ways that we wear shorts have broadened over the last few seasons with these thigh-skimming pieces now not just a day time look, but also accepted at fancier evening affairs and even on the red carpet. While shorts made of satin or heavier, stiffer materials look sexy but polished for night, especially when paired with killer stilettos , shorts still look the best when used the way they were meant to be.

 Style Stand-off: Leona Lewis And Ashley Tisdale In Jenny Packham

Celebs are constantly having to make appearances on the red carpet for movie premiers, record release parties, award shows and other events where they are required to dress to the nines.

 Hot In The Hive: Baumraums’ Amazing Treehouses!

Remember when you were younger and the idea of having a cool tree-house of your very own would’ve sent you into convulsions of happiness? Maybe you didn’t have a tree-house, but if you were lucky, a friend did and you could go there and pig out on snacks that had been excommunicated from your cupboards at home and read your fill of comic books and magazines .Or you were like me and compensated by building forts out of blankets and furniture

 Sun Pet Hamster-Basher Fired: Prosecution Next, Please!

This week, PETA released never-before-seen footage from our three-month investigation of Sun Pet Ltd.—an Atlanta-based supplier of small mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, and other animals to stores nationwide, including PETCO and PetSmart . In the shocking video, a Sun Pet worker is seen slamming hamsters against a table in an attempt to kill them—evidently because they were deemed unsalable. At least one of the hamsters was still alive for several minutes afterward, panting in the sealed plastic bag.

 10 Basket Weave Shoes That Are Made For Summer!

I know Easter was like, over a month ago, but hear me out! Basket-inspired shoes are totally fashion-forward for the summer months ahead! A looser basket weave boasts chic cut-outs for maximum breathability for the hot weather to come, like these super-high wedges by Sam Edelman , while tighter-woven patterns like in these Cole Haan metallic pumps provide more texture than your typical solid heels. Woven shoes, whether in the form of casual flat sandals or a summer take on edgy peeptoe booties, seem to have a sort of automatic earthy vibe and give an extra dose of effortlessness to a meticulously-planned outfit. There’s a laidback, sort of “homemade” feel about them, in a cool way that you’d never be able to pull off if you actually tried to weave your own sandals! For further inspiration on how to get your weave on this summer, scope out my slideshow for my 10 favorite woven flats, sandals, and booties!

 Vacation Count Down Calendars

My boys are stoked about our family vacation this year but my little one thinks we are leaving tomorrow. {{sigh}} To help this confused little soul, I decided to make him a vacation count down or advent calendar.
