Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow // photo blog
We all know that snow directly translates to schools closing, sledding, and snow man building. I love it all. But you know what I love more? The intricacies of snowflakes. Seriously. And when I saw this photo blog I honestly didn’t think it was real. It also made me want to purchase a macro lens for the Cannon […]
Top 2 Favorite Christmas Movies // an office survey
It’s the time of year again, and we’re not afraid to get cheesy or make lists, so we’re doing both. We’ve conducted a survey of multiple staff Christmas movie favorites, and this is what we came up with. I’d like to go ahead and say I’ve included my judgements. It’s my blog post, and I’ll […]
Village Savings and Loan Association // an inside look
As one of my last posts as IC’s social media intern, I wanted to write about a program in Gulu, Uganda that is close to my heart and is one of the (many) reasons that inspire me to work at Invisible Children. Our Village Savings and Loan Association (VSLA) program in northern Uganda is one […]
Not your average Christmas tree
Have you ever seen a Christmas tree made out of ceramic dishes? Me neither. Until This Is Colossal introduced me to a design firm called Mooz. These designers have made something they’re called the “Taste Tree“, and I’m hungry just looking at it. This installation in Hasselt, Belgium stands over thirty feet tall, and has at least […]
Follow the Frog
I’m not going to say much because this video says it all, but I want you all to know that this project is changing things. The Rainforest Alliance has been around for 25 years, has four out of four stars on Charity Navigator, and an incredible story to share. Have you ever bought Lipton tea? What […]

They took the mass of Google searches from throughout the year, along with other search […]
A new type of “DD”
Well, folks, New Zealand has done it again. Just when we though they had everything (Lord of the Rings, Russel Crowe, gorgeous beaches) they go and do something even better. Introducing – a driving school for dogs. The Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is revolutionizing how we look at abused pups. They’re giving […]
The weight of words
We firmly believe that vulnerability breeds vulnerability. SoulPancake seems to believe the same. We’re watching, we’re crying, and now we’re sharing it with you because sometimes you just need to be reminded about the weight of words.
The coolest installation I’ll never see
“Fast Track” is unlike any art installation I have ever seen, and all I want to do is jump for joy. Literally (jump being the key word.) Introducing the 170-foot long trampoline coming to you all the way from Nikola-Lenivets, Russia. I know what you all must be thinking – is this some kind of […]
Lincoln // a movie review
With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have born the battle and for his widow and his orphan, […]
