Seattle’s Best has joined the ranks of familiar companies updating their logo’s look.
As with all new things, there are some pretty harsh words flying around about it. What’s your opinion about the new design? Grab a cup of coffee, and tell us about it.

AriZona Iced Tea is suffering the consequences of sharing a name with the southwestern state as people upset by Arizona’s new irrigation law boycott the state as well as businesses based there. The ironic thing is that AriZona Beverage Company was founded in 1992 in Brooklyn, New York and maintains all operations in this northeastern state. I suppose the founders may now wish they had put a little more strategy behind their name generation instead of merely taking cues from their home decor.

So we’ve seen all jorts (jeans + shorts) and jeggings (jeans + leggings) but a jiaper?!? Jeepers! Must we subject our little ones to American’s obsession with denim by putting them in a diaper disguised as a jean brief? According to Huggies (and 4 enthusiastic mothers’ reviews on target.com) we should. Would you dress your child in Huggie’s Little Movers Jeans? Have you contributed to the product’s out of stock status on target.com? Would you?

The pill. No, not a pill, but THE pill. The pill that sexually revolutionized women and the control over their bodies. The pill that wrapped itself in religious dilemma and political controversy. The pill that to this day still raises concerns over morality and safety.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of this medicinal wonder. Often misunderstood, this hormonal remedy has walked a littered road of controversial backtalk and revolutionary movements. Therefore, like most things taboo, interesting, or just pretty, it has earned itself a Time magazine cover, adequately accessorized with a very detailed and fascinating article. I mean, I read the entire thing.
Whether you’re for it, against it, on it, or a boy, this article gives an intriguing outlook about the history of birth control as a concept, how it transformed into a drug, and ultimately how it became a way of life for many women…and, of course, the chaos that shadowed it.
Check out the Time article here, and leave your thoughts/feelings below.
FYI, today roughly 100 million women around the world use the pill.
