The Love List 29.04.12
April 29, 2012 in The Love List
You might have noticed quite a few things are being shaken up around here! I have a few things in the works which I am very excited about! The major changes of course being the introduction of beauty and food posts – which I love writing, so I hope you like them. Today I’m introducing Highlights, a new weekly feature that replaces Link Love. You’ll still get a list of my favourite links – but with a few other highlights from the week mixed amongst. I think it’ll be a lot more interesting, so en-joy!

I had a day off on Wednesday for ANZAC day. In honour of ANZAC day I shared a few of my Anzac biscuits with my boyfriend and spent the evening with my family. Least we forget ♥
-
This DIY for adding a touch of neon to an old pair of shoes has me super-inspired. I’ve got a few pairs of shoes I could jazz up with this little trick.

I am in love with apple cinnamon rice cakes! I’ve been eating the Sun Rice variety, and I don’t think I’ll stop anytime soon. They also have caramel and honey flavours which I’d love to try as well. Yum.
-
I’ve been pretty excited about the return of New Zealands Hottest Home Baker… there’s something extremely satisfying about watching people baking under pressure! The first episode aired on Thursday, and if you’re in NZ you can watch episode one here.
-
These skinny coconut cupcakes look delicious… I might just have to give these a go.
-
Tips on Negotiating for Bloggers is worth a read if you think you might be involved in negotiations anytime soon.
-
I check my email far too much, it’s almost embarrassing. So I am seriously considering printing out this nifty flowchart that helps you decide weather or not you need to check your email. General consensus? You need only need to check it very.. very rarely.

I’ve only just started watching the first season of Mad Men but it’s enough to interest me in these retro ads from Newsweek’s Mad Men themed issue. What I find most interesting is seeing the name’s of agencies that are still around today, against advertising from over 50 years ago.
-
Susan Cain talks about the power of introverts in this TED talk. If you identify with being introverted then I 100% recommend you watch this! It addresses the conflit introverts experience by wanting to go off by themselves in a culture that prizes being outgoing and social above all else, and explains why being alone is actually a really positive and powerful thing. Superb.

Interior design tip: Always position your curtains HIGH and WIDE, never just above and only just spanning the width of the window. Who knew?
Share your highlights in the comments. Adieu!

I’ve watched all seasons of Mad Men, and despite the fact that everyone’s saying how amazing this show is, I was too bored in most of the seasons. And I’ve studied marketing and advertising.
Maybe it’s the fact that it’s supposed to be in the ’60s, or that I don’t like how they were treating women, at that time. I don’t know. I still watch it, but it’s definitely not on my favorites list.
Have a great start with your new Highlights feature!
