Haagen-Dazs’ Help the Honey Bees campaign
Haagen Dazs is doing an interesting campaign to help save honey bees and spread awareness. Bee pollination is apparently a key ingredient for most of their ice cream flavors. Anyway, the reason I found it was because of this funny video and the Bee Boy Dance Crew.
It is a fact of nature: When a honey bee returns to the hive after finding a good source of nectar, it will perform a unique dance for its hive mates, detailing the distance, quality and quantity of the new food supply.
Sadly, honey bees are mysteriously vanishing in staggering numbers - a crisis known as Colony Collapse disorder - which is alarming considering honey bees are responsible for pollinating one-third of our natural food supply.

Kohler Ad
I know I’ve blogged about a commercial for Kohler’s Hotbox Toilet, but I just can’t get enough of their advertising.
Here are some more from their ad campaigns. It’s interesting to see how the photographers integrated Kohler products into their shots.

CB2 Spring Catalog
I’m really diggin’ CB2’s new Spring Line.
Any of you how know me personally, know that I am a HUGE fan of Blue and Brown. I love the fresh, clean feeling of blue added with the warmth of brown. To make it more Spring-like add yellow accents to brighten up your room!
I'm in love with the wall decor/candle holders. Oooh la la, so romantic.
Orange. A color that you'll be seeing A LOT more this season. Yes, the 70's are coming back.
Again, orange and brown. Very 70's. Especially with that sofa print and shag rug. Love it!
Lime Green. Am I sounding repetitive with the 70's? Get ready for the green and orange color combo.
Love how the white freshens up this space. And that setee...to die for!
Sleeping in a Jungle? I'll take it. Minus the mosquitoes.
There are a lot of sharp lines in this room. To soften it up they added a row of palms, which is also a great way to bring the outdoors in--a great idea for this time of year.

Kohler Commercial
I love this commercial. And the product they’re selling is so sleek. If only I could have a huge marble bathroom with gorgeous moulding and a no-front toilet.
