Cynthia Rowley Designs Band-Aids for a Cause

While Cynthia Rowley's line of designer diapers for Pampers left me baffled, I'm intrigued by her most recent collaboration with Johnson and Johnson that juxtaposes gore and glamor. The American designer best known for her vibrant collections of women's wear recently produced a set of designer Band-Aids to benefit Design Ignites Change, "an organization that engages high school and college students in design and architecture projects that address social issues in their own communities." Each tin of 20 bandages costs $10, with $1 benefiting the program. The product is available for purchase exclusively on Cynthia Rowley's website.

Readers, will you be covering your cuts with Cynthia's designs?

Wake Forest Exposes Tanning Addiction

I mentioned in an earlier post that my complexion is rather pale. In fact, my skin is so fair I could easily pass as a member of the Cullen family, if it weren't for that whole sparkle-in-the-sun thing. I've come to terms with my coloring and steer clear of tanning beds, which is why this talk of legitimate tanning addiction intrigues me.

Yesterday, my computer came home after making a full recovery from its virus. Naturally, I spent my evening catching up on some of my favorite blogs. This article on Bella Sugar caught my eye when it mentioned my alma mater: "Wake Forest found that frequent tanners actually went through withdrawal when given medicine that blocks the pleasure centers that narcotics usually affect."

Wake Forest researchers? I never knew my school was so interested in the psychologically effects of visiting the tanning bed. If they need any more subjects for their study I know quite a few girls on campus more than qualified to participate.

Readers- do y'all frequent the tanning bed? Do you embrace a Snow White complexion? Or is a fake tan more your style?
