DIY: Recycled Catalog Christmas Tree

CasaSugar — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 08:30:23 PST

I was inspired by either random creativity or divine procrastination to turn a stack of DWR catalogs and expired gossip glossies into festive Christmas trees. The project took me under 10 minutes to complete. My catalog collection has been piling up since Nov. 1, so this is a great way to reuse and upcycle! You can use any catalog or gossip mag so long as it has a saddle-stitch binding. It's also a fun project to try with kids!

What You Need

One catalog or gossip mag per tree
Scissors or X-acto knife
A marker (optional)
Around seven paper clips

To learn how to make this perennial tree,

Best of 2009: What's Your Favorite Shelter Magazine This Year?

CasaSugar — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 10:00:57 PST

This year we said goodbye to Metropolitan Home, Craft, and Domino, three of my favorite shelter magazines, and many that aren't closing shop are still teetering. With shelter magazines folding left and right, this is a tough category, but there's still plenty of great content out there. We did welcome Dwell's new DIY magazine, Make It Yours, and a new, very Domino-esque online shelter mag, Lonny. Tell me, which is your fave?

Did I leave out your favorite shelter mag? Then join our Best of 2009 group in the CasaSugar Community and tell me about it there. And vote on all my Best of 2009 polls now!

Website of the Day: Maggwire

GeekSugar — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 09:45:54 PST

Sometimes I'll pick up a magazine in the waiting room of my doctor's or dentist's office and read an article that I wish I could tear out and take with me (confession: OK, so maybe I did rip the odd one out). And then, there are the magazines that I like but don't love them enough to get an annual subscription, so I'll buy the odd one at a bookstore.

If this sounds familiar, I'd like to introduce you to Maggwire, a site that offers popular articles from over 10,000 magazine titles. Either search for your favorite magazine, or browse the many categories for something you might be interested in. Once you start getting the hang of the website, you can rate articles with 1-5 stars, and then whenever you visit Maggwire, it will make article recommendations based on what you've enjoyed in the past.

Do you have an interesting website you want to share? Create a PopSugar Account or log in to your existing account. Then join the Website of the Day group where you can post your favorite website. And you never know, it could be featured on GeekSugar! Here's a detailed guide to posting questions or posts to groups if you are new to the PopSugar Community.

Esquire's December Issue Will Feature Augmented Reality

GeekSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 03:50:08 PST

The December issue of Esquire magazine has a little geeky extra built right in. It features augmented reality technology on its cover and several inside pages, meaning that when you hold those pages up to a webcam, they'll "come alive" in 3D, with flying text and images.

Esquire teases the feature on their cover, calling it a "Living, breathing, moving, talking magazine." It's not the magazine's first geeky cover; for their 75th anniversary issue, they featured a blinking cover using e-ink. While the augmented reality concept isn't new, it's a first for magazines, and I think it's a pretty cool update to a traditional print medium. The augmented reality issue will be available at newsstands on Nov. 9.

Philippe Starck and Karl Lagerfeld Guest Edit Wallpaper*

CasaSugar — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 10:00:04 PDT

Wallpaper* has called on two titans of the design world, Philippe Starck and Karl Lagerfeld, to guest edit its October issue. Beginning by pushing the boundaries of magazine production, Starck designed the first triple-layered, transparent front cover, while Lagerfeld introduced the first peelable front cover.

As for the editorial, Starck approached scientists, physicists, cosmologists, artists, and activist rock stars, on a "mission to make intelligence sexy." Meanwhile, Lagerfeld brought his photography skills to light, following his new model muse and coverman Baptiste Giabiconi "from Ancient Rome to mid-century Paris," revealing a passion for architecture. I love to see these design icons moving beyond the parameters we're used to seeing them in, not only taking on new roles as editors but showing that they're not one-trick ponies. The issue hits newsstands today, and check out this complementary gallery online.

Favorite Health Magazine

FitSugar — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 03:00:00 PST

If you're active and into a healthy lifestyle, perusing through health magazines can give you great recipe ideas, interesting facts about ingredients and supplements, and inspirational how-tos to tone your upper body.

When I asked about your Favorite Health Magazine, I'd have to agree with the results. Women's Health is top on your list (and mine), because it's mature and easy to read. Shape and Self were close behind though, because they both motivate you to stay fit and healthy with their challenging workouts and details about new fitness gear. In case you're looking for a quick gift idea, keep in mind that subscriptions to health or fitness mags are always appreciated.

Are You Heading to the Domino Bazaar?

CasaSugar — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 07:00:28 PDT

If you're in the Los Angeles area this weekend, I suggest you head over to H.D. Buttercup for the Domino Bazaar.

Open to the public from Oct. 17-19 from noon to 6 p.m. daily, the bazaar will feature a mix of green products, art, budget-friendly furnishings, super high-end designer goods, and antiques for the home and garden. Everything has been hand-selected by Domino staff, and styled into room vignettes. In addition, there will be a full roster of classes on everything from decorating to cooking. Oh, and as added temptation, everything will be 15 to 30 percent off retail price.

To find out how to attend, and for a video of last year's event,

read more. You can buy tickets on the website or purchase them at the door. Each $20 ticket includes a one-year subscription to Domino, and $5 goes to ACRIA, the AIDS Community Research Initiative of America. It's a great price to support a great cause, and of course, there will be a tempting variety of gorgeous home products to gawk over. Sounds like the perfect weekend event to me! Source
