Up in Real Life!

Posted by Carolina

I fell in love with Pixar's "Up" when I watched it back in 2009.   I've watched it many times since then, its just such a fantastic movie. So imagine how thrilled I was to discover that National Geographic Channel and a team of experts created an Up Inspired Floating house.    The house is 16' X 16', 18' tall with 300 8' colored weather balloons.

Me enamore de la película de Pixar "Up: Una aventura de altura", desde su estreno en el 2009. Es una película fantástica.  Me emocione muchisimo al ver que National Geographic Channel, junto a un grupo de expertos crearon una casa flotante igual al de la película.  La casa mide 16' x 16', 18' de alto con 300 8' globos metereológicos.

7 Billion: Are You Typical? -- National Geographic Magazine

Well, you are probably Not the typical person. Because the typical ones probably doesn't check this blog. Probably.

But I am pretty sure you have at least Seen him somewhere! lol.

This is a interesting study made by National Geographic, showing who is the most typical person (what they have in common) + some other amazing facts.

Hopefully this will bring some awareness! We CAN make a Difference!

Best dressed at the Oscars

Posted by Carolina

I've been really disappointed with the fashion worn on the Red Carpet this award season aka The People's choice fiasco (I refused to post anything about it). Fortunately my faith was restored with the Academy Awards. 

He estado muy decepcionada de la moda utilizada en las Alfombras Rojas en esta temporada de entrega de Premios.  Por ejemplo, el fiasco de los Premios People's Choice.  Afortunadamente, recupere mi fe con los Oscars.

Cate Blanchett in an elaborate beaded and pleated lilac Givenchy Haute Couture gown.

This woman is absolutely flawless, never dissapoints.

Esta mujer nunca decepciona. Es espectacular.

 

Mila Kunis in a lavender lace Elie Saab Haute Couture gown.

I adore any shade of pruple and this color definitely does perfectly with her skin tone.

Adoro el purpura en cualquier tono y este color le complementa perfectamente con su tono de piel.

Amy Adams in a L'Wren Scott gown.

I love this dress on her, not sure of the dress by itself but she makes it look spectacular.

Me encanta el vestido en ella, aunque tengo mis dudas acerca del vestido por si solo.
