Betsy Johnson’s UES Apartment is Fun as Hell

Betsey Johnson has just unloaded her fabulous apartment at 30 East 85th Street for the basement price of $1.8 million, according to the Observer. 850-square-foot apartment is rather adorable and has one bedroom and two bathrooms. Johnson purchased it in 2008 for $1,854,000, and she originally listed it in May this year for $2.25 million until discounting it to its current price. The best part is the spacious terrace.

Santa’s North Pole Home estimated at $650k

How cute are the folks at Zillow? No promotion here. I just stumbled on this because I'm on the site a lot.  The real estate site has put together a listing for the jolly residence and its... mostly like you'd expect. The home clocks in at a modest 2,500 sq ft and has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, but it's the listing description that really sells the place.
A toy-lover's paradise nestled on 25 idyllic acres at the North Pole – perfect for spirited reindeer games. The home, constructed in the 1800s of gorgeous old-growth timber logged on site, is steeped in Old World charm but offers modern-day amenities, thanks to a 2013 renovation. Over the river and through the woods is a state-of-the-art toy-making facility with workstations for 50 diminutive craftsmen. Nearby are a garage, with space for Santa's all-weather sleigh, and stables that board eight live-in reindeer, plus a bonus stall for red-nosed company, eagerly awaiting Christmas Eve.

She's so little. But now looking back at last months pic its like ...

App-y Endings: How Films would look with Smart Phones

These are fantastic.  A very clever person over at Plusnet Community made a string of comics depicting popular movies. The twist is that they've all been updated to show how drastically the plot lines would change, had the main character been carrying the smart phones we all use to do everything now. The results are great and a nice break in your morning. Enjoy!

Christmas Gift Lists: Subscription Boxes!

  I was one of the more skeptical people when box subscriptions started really catching on. The old adage "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't" kept ringing in my ear. But what I've learned is that many of these companies simply take advantage of overstock for deals or simply order so much of an item it's marked down to nothing!  And then there's the companies selling their very own merch. Like Rachel Zoe's giant box of goodness or this smelltastic quarterly shipment from Mugler. And sometimes it's just fun to get something we (or that our gift recipient) would never buy for ourselves.  Find out something about ourselves via a surprise waiting on our doorstep when we get home one night. So here are some of our favorite subscriptions that are tested and approved for being legit and worth your money.  Also feel free to check out some great subscription box sites, lie Cratejoy.com,  mysubscriptionaddiction.com, that can help you find one that suits you!     Yourbijiouxbox.com is one of my favorite jewelry boxes out there. It's very costumey, but for me that's part of the fun. The cool statement piece that catches everyone's eye.  Go on the site. They gladly show you past boxes. A true sign of an honest sub box.  roughly $35/mo, min of 3 pieces of jewelry   Your-Bijoux-Box-Review-August-2016-6  I was one of the more skeptical people when box subscriptions started really catching on.
