Returning to Sicily: La Tartine Gourmand published this photo-filled post that has us ready to pack our bags and head to the rustic but beautiful Mediterranean Island.  Sigh, the food.  The cheese.  The markets.  The views.

Garnish:  This photo on Pinterest led us to the amazing blog/shop Garnish.  The blog is full of ideas on how to make your parties or gifts extra-special with charming, creative finishing touches.  The shop gets you started.  We’re obsessed!

Quang and Ellie Slow Motion Photo Booth Video: We came across this super creative (and adorable) wedding video over on Jezebel– you may want to check out the comments on that post too since some of them are nearly as entertaining as the video itself.

DIY Gold Sequin Hanger from Oh Lovely Day: Are you a bride looking for something special to display your wedding dress on your wedding morning, but not in love with the options out there?  Maybe you love having a special hanger for arranging a night-out outfit just so?  We dig the genius of this sequined hanger and want to find a way to get it into our closets.

Is Kale The Only Green Superstar?: Have you been feeling a little behind the popular vegetable curve since you’re not the biggest fan of kale?  It’s ok!  US News and World Report compiled a table of nutritional facts for four leafy greens and we’re sure you’ll find one favorite among them.  (Plus, we want to try the soup recipe included at the bottom of the article!)

Veggie Calories Fiber Protein Vit A Vit C Calcium Iron
Kale 36 cals 3g 2g 345% 80% 9% 6%
Mustard Greens 21 cals 3g 3g 177% 59% 10% 5%
