Professional artists and amateurs alike know that delving into a new technique or medium can be a daunting task. Whether you’re an oil painter who’s tackling charcoal or a lover of graphite experimenting with color, stepping outside of your artistic comfort zone is overwhelming, but totally worth it. And Joe Hollenbeck of Hollenbeck Woodworks knows […]
Have you ever watched “Flea Market Flip” on HGTV for hours on end and thought, “You know what? I can do that!” Same. And that bolstered sense of DIY prowess usually sends me on the hunt for something janky at the nearest flea market that I think I can bring back to life with skills […]
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTAT_ATF’); }); Life moves quickly.

When we were little, our stuffed animals served as fluffy confidantes. They sat with us at our tea parties, they stayed close at night to fend off bad dreams, and they comforted us when we were sick. What they didn’t typically do, however, is teach us important lessons that would ultimately stick with us for […]
Whether or not you wear makeup, you can’t deny the fact that makeup artists are talented people. After all, applying winged liner to your own face is difficult enough, so just imagine how hard it would be to pull off a perfect cat eye on someone else. But one makeup artist by the name of […]
The internet is good for three things: shopping for things you absolutely do not need, getting into fights with cousins you haven’t seen in 30 years, and losing your will to live. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCBP_ATF’); }); Giphy And in case you haven’t been able to do much of the third one lately, I’m here to […]
Disaster struck in Brazil last Thursday when two mining dams collapsed, unleashing gallons of mud into the small town of Bento Rodrigues. Several townspeople are dead and even more are missing, but as rescuers quickly learned, humans weren’t the only ones devastated by the disaster.
