We all love Angry Birds, but who knew the game could bring such love to one happy couple? An Australian man, and avid Angry Birds player, proposed to his girlfriend using the popular smart phone game. Ben Levi sent a request to developers to create a custom level that he could use to propose to his girlfriend Mel, and they delivered. When Mel read the words "Marry Me Mel" on the screen, she couldn't help but say "Yes!"

An actual Angry Birds proposal? Maybe when pigs fly! Oh wait...

Cake Resignation

For some people, it's hard to resign from a long-time job, but for one man it was a piece of cake. Chris Holmes, a 31-year-old British man, gave his bosses at Stansted Airport in London a cake rather than a traditional resignation letter. He explained in icing on top of the cake that after becoming a father, he's realized he needs to do what makes him happy. That being said, he's going to start spending more time with his family and... wait for it... his cake business.

9 Non-March Madness Activities

9-non-march-madness-activitiesIf one thing is buzzing right now, it’s March Madness.

If you live in America, then you probably know that March Madness has begun (I mean, duh!). Televisions, computer screens, iPads, and sporting apps are taking over lunch breaks, commuting times, and every minute of any male’s “downtime.” Your husband, fiancé, boyfriend or male friend is no longer paying attention to you, your new haircut (did he ever?) and what you cooked for dinner. As long as he can eat it in front of the T.V., it all tastes the same. …Not to mention he’s spending every night and now weekends at the nearest sports bar.

Hugh Hefner Admits to Sleeping with 'Over a Thousand' Women

hugh-hefner-admits-to-sleeping-with-over-1000-womenIt looks like the Playboy King himself has had his share of women on his sex throne!

Esquire magazine recently interviewed Hugh Hefner and gave a little too much information if you ask me.

In the interview, Esquire magazine asked how many women Hefner has slept with. Naturally (yes, I'm being sarcastic), he replied “How could I possibly know? Over a thousand, I’m sure.”

Quarter-Life Crisis: Oh... Now I Get It

quarter-life-crisis-oh-now-i-get-itWell friends, it’s that time again. It's my birthday. But not just any birthday- it's my quarter-life crisis birthday.

You know, they say the whole “quarter-life crisis” thing can hit you anywhere between your late teens and your early thirties. I’ve managed to make it this far without a) asking my parents for money, b) making a handful of awful decisions, and c) quitting my job and moving to Bosnia (although, I did move out on my own just two days after graduating from college- but I wouldn’t classify that as a bad decision, even though I lost the majority of my savings account while trying to support myself in a city and find a big girl job at the same time). But, I digress.

Giving The Gift of Tradition

the-gift-of-traditionsIn addition to gifts, give the gift of tradition this year!

The holidays are here. The evidence is clear here in Chicago. Working on Michigan Avenue allows me to see busy (and sometimes stressful) last-minute shoppers scurrying to find the perfect gifts for their loved ones.

The holidays bring families in from all over the world to visit relatives and extended families. I envision mothers everywhere making last-minute changes to the holiday menu and stocking the fridge for the big meal.

The holiday season is all about spending time with family and friends, taking a break from the routine or stress of everyday life, and taking a step back to cherish your life, loved ones, and truly appreciate how lucky we really are.
