Weekend Link Love

This weekend pretty much sucked, thanks to the unpredictable Chicago weather (seriously, it rained yesterday and its snowing today). No wonder I'm blogging on a Sunday. Anyways, I'm here to spread some link love and bring you some brew from around the web.

I wanna rant on like this too, that's how bored I am. Is that weird? I don't care.

Wondering where all those demotivational posters are coming from, on Facebook? This is where.

Trust Nokia to be stuck in the past and create something like this in the smartphone era.

Weirdly funny switcheroo project by a photographer. Wondering how the husband and I'll look.

India's love affair with gold. I'd say totally useless.

Real Men standing up for something worthy.

Tongue wrestle mania. Have always wondered I guess.

2012 World Press Photo of the Year awards. Some must-see photography.

Walk off the Earth indeed. Performance I've never seen before. Single Guitar cover.

New generation proverbs. Something for teachers to learn?

This woman took a photo of herself every single day for more than four and a half years. Maybe I should do that too, but then, I'm not so obsessed with my face.

This is the mood everyone should be even after getting married.

Tried this for lunch with brown basmati rice, minus the veggies and saw this movie while enjoying it.

Currently listening to this awesome song which is everywhere these days and deservingly so.

So what did you do this weekend or was yours boring too? Tell me, I wanna hear from you.

Giveaways to Enter

So, I'm thinking I'll make giveaways a regular series and bring to you all the giveaways worth entering on the internet coz seriously, it is raining giveaways these days, and lots of companies are looking at the blogland and willing to giveaway some stuff for marketing purposes. And some blog authors are willing to giveaway free stuff to get more readers. Its a win-win for everybody involved. There are also lots of giveaways going on at Facebook/Twitter/Youtube/Google+ etc., which I come across daily. Just thought I should share them with all my lovely readers coz I don't want you guys to miss out on some really good stuff, if you're interested. Here's a list of some giveaways happening this month that you wouldn't wanna miss.

Sequins and Stilettos Giveaway by Skylette: Skylette who's a fashion and style blogger and blogs at Sequins and Stilettos is doing an awesome giveaway of Urban Decay Naked2 Palette (worth $50) and a Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush (worth $7). Everybody is raving about these products, especially the Naked2 Palette. They are two of my favorite products. Go to her blog and follow some rules to enter. This giveaway, I think, is only for US residents. It will end on March 8th, so one more week left. Hurry!
