Perfect Shoes for Your Summer Pedis!

Oka-B is having a sale on some of their super super cute & comfortable (they have arch support & reflexology bumps!) shoes. I must admit that I have my eyes on these:

Oka B Eloise thongs

These aren't on sale, but they have a bunch that are. If you're looking to add a little comfort & color to your summer wardrobe, now is the time to order/try these cuties. Happy shoe shopping!

Gracias, Gabriel

Since I was 15, I've spent countless hours reading Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novels and short stories, and have always looked forward to his next creation. And though I cannot say "unfortunately" (since I was fortunate enough to be seduced and touched by his magical realism), I am truly saddened that there will not be a new Gabriel Garcia Marquez story to enjoy and contemplate.

Words cannot begin to describe the power Gabriel Garcia Marquez possessed as a storyteller. Nor can they convey his incredible imagination or the depths of his empathy when it came to the characters he created and the worlds in which they lived. Suspended by the supernatural and weighted by the hardness of the human condition, each Garcia Marquez story revealed the beauty and despair of life; and they were mesmerizing.

Thank you, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, for sharing your stories with all of us; we are richer and more humbled for them.

There are so many new news sites coming online that it's hard to keep up! However, I think this is one to definitely check out as well as the very interesting data journalism/video news site, Vocativ. If Vice, Buzzfeed, and NYT were to have a threesome and spawn a magical offspring, Vocativ would be its name.... Check out their video:
