Three Cool Things

I just found a great new website as I was on my search for interesting and entertaining news that wasn't contributing to The American Gossip Epidemic... HAPPY NEWS! Lots of human interest stories from around the world, including positive celebrity news, lifestyle topics, health and science discoveries and more. Check out good news at www.HappyNews.com (and while you're at it, download the NPR app for your ipad or iphone, which is always full of fascinating stories, news, entertainment, education and photos). See NPR's website at www.NPR.org

Next up...

For all you fashionistas out there I've discovered a great new website where you can literally rent designer clothes (like Gucci, Chanel, Prada, etc). at RentTheRunway.com you pay a fraction of the cost of the item ($150- $300), you get to keep the garment for 3-4 days and return unwashed (even if you get a stain on it!). This is particularly timely in the Holiday season and so much fun to browse through clothes that you just never thought you'd get your hands on! So, go Rent the Runway and dazzle this winter!

Last on the list today is

I've been using this website for years but I thought it was time to share with you all... LocalHarvest.org is a website that brings communities and farms together. If you are looking for homegrown produce, locally raised milk, hand-milled soap, and other farm fresh products like cheese, honey, flowers, seafood and other unique craft items, THIS is your one-stop shop. Just type in your zip code and Local Harvest will give you a list of every selling farm in your area. This list will include every item they sell and the seasonal listings also. For United States only.

Also, I wanted to say that I just saw "You Again" and Kristen Bell has the best skin EVER. Ten points if someone can find me an interview where she shares her secret-- I'm dying to know!

That's all for now, and remember to keep up the good word (#morefunthangossip)!
