I love how utterly romantic this image is. It's straight out of a romantic foreign film. Practically, though, I'd worry about fire hazards associated with having candles within kicking distance.

We build our homes — and fill them to the brim — through design. So, it only makes sense that we should save them, and salvage all of our beloved possessions, through good design as well. French company Fire Design has created a range of embellished fire extinguishers to make the most of a necessity that's long been hidden under the kitchen sink.Depending on your preferences, you can choose an extinguisher that will blend in with your decor, or one that will become a focal point — in a good way.

As most of you probably know, California has been ravaged by fires this Summer. As I write this, one of my friends awaits evacuation notice at her Southern California home, and several others are keeping a close watch on fire patterns in their area. Fire scares me — it is erratic and unpredictable and frighteningly fast.

Summer usually is the time for family road trips and, for most, this includes your four-legged family members as well. I hate to put this out there, but if by chance you get into an accident with your pet in the car (knock on wood, this hasn't happened), first responders can have a heck of a time trying to get you out of a mangled car safely, which can become even more difficult if they have a scared or injured pet on their hands.
First off, pets should always be belted in for their (and your) own good, but adding this Pet Safety Kit into the mix can help even more.

It's the sound of the siren, the pressure of the hose, the shiny polished trucks and the fearlessness of firefighters that fascinate youngsters. A friend recently hosted a red hot birthday bash for her four-year-old at their local station, and it was a fiery success!

If you have problems with uneven pigmentation, you're not alone. A recent study by Mintel, a market research firm, found that it's a top concern for women, more so than stretch marks and visible pores, the New York Times reports.
The cause of discoloration is varied: For younger gals, hormones are often the culprit; For older gals, sun damage is typically responsible; and for those with sensitive or darker skin, the blotchy spots tend just tend to stick around a lot longer.
