Photographer Tom Hussey worked on a campaign for an Alzheimer's drug called Exelon Patch that helps maintain long-term memories during the early stages of the disease. I found these pictures very compelling and loved the story they tell and wanted to share. I made the pictures extra large so you could see all the thoughtful details in the peoples' faces.

Royal Wedding!

Dun Dun Dun Dun, Dun Dun Dun Dun! THE event of the century is just mere hours away!  

The marriage of His Royal Highness Prince William of Wales, K.G. to Miss Catherine Middleton at Westminster Abbey on Friday, 29th April, 2011 at 11:00 a.m.

5:00 a.m. EST for us!! 

Photo of the ROYAL couple that was released just today.

The couple when they announced their engagement. Nice choice of dress by Cate to match the gorgeous ring Prince Willima gave her. The ring is a pedigreed sapphire and diamond bauble that was actually worn by his mother, Princess Diana

Could this be what they look like tomorrow?? The wedding is an estimated $13-18 million. Glad I'm not a London taxpayer.

Princess Di on her wedding day.

The 1981 wedding of Prince Charles to Diana Spencer.

If anyone would like some souvenirs or trinkets from the wedding, make sure to get one of these!!  Definitely keepsakes!

This is actually manufacutured by GE.

Can someone PLEASE get me some of these?

This is one of the greatest things I have ever seen.

A mug with Will and Cate's mugs. A standard for every home.

Anyone else find this creepy?

Keychain so that you can always have a piece of them near you all the time.

So everyone be sure to set your DVRs or wake up at 5am to catch all the action. You can be sure that I will be DVRing all the action and having a Royal Wedding viewing party at my house tomorrow night complete with tiaras and fake sapphire rings. For the princesses in us all!

Fairytale Destinations

As the typical girl that I am, I live in a fairytale dreamland. These are a compilation of destinations that will make you think twice if you're in a fantasy world or still in reality.  It's amazing that these magical places actually exist in the real world!


COLMAR, FRANCE

This reminds me of the town from Beauty & the Beast where Belle sings her opening song. Bonjour!

FAROE ISLANDS

Being the hardcore Lord of the Rings fan that I am, I obviously need to go here to search for hobbits and elves.

NEUSCHWANSTEIN CASTLE, GERMANY

Who doesn't want to visit a castle??

 VENICE, ITALY

Venice just looks like a beautiful painting.

GREENLAND

Not a fan of the cold but this place is precious.

BAMBOO FOREST, JAPAN

So amazing that places like this exist!

Infographic on Infographics!

You’re looking at an infographic about infographics, created by designer and art director Ivan Cash. Apparently, a whopping 88% of them feature content about the United States, 85% use a sans serif font (hey there, Helvetica), and the most popular infographic topic is health.

Obsessed with obnoxious crazy rings

I absolutely love oversized, eclectic rings and when I found these I was overly excited. These picutres were just a few of my favorites but to see the rest of the collection go to http://www.funzug.com/.

How could I not add a picture of beer?

This makes me think of summer :)

I love how you can see the ripple in the coffee in the ring. So neat!

I wish I owned this.

This is my favorite ring of the collection.

Interesting cutout details.

Golden Palace?

What am I doing?

No particular reason for starting a blog and I'm pretty sure my thoughts aren't all that interesting but why not?  This will just be a page dedicated to my pure randomness of mind and activities.
