Let’s Play Dress-Up With the Natalie Portman’s Wedding Dress! (And Her Baby Bump!)
Natalie Portman has a pretty small window if she wants to get married with a flat belly—unless she’s going to wait to get married ’til after the baby!
Don’t worry, Natalie! There are plenty of great dresses that will accommodate a baby bump! I’m sure being pregnant has you busy. (Isn’t it exhausting?!) So I went ahead and picked some wedding day looks for you. And I threw in some options that work better sans bump, in case the wedding is happening within the next few weeks (!) or if you’ll be hosting a post-baby wedding. (If that’s the case, you’ll be WAY too busy to dress shop! Trust me!)

Beautiful Top Ice Hotels
Igloos have always fascinated me as a child. Nowadays, what I have on my list are ice hotels complete with rooms, bars, and the works. You need to experience staying in them before they melt! We came up with a list of the best ice hotels that we know of:
The ICEHOTEL (Sweden)
This is the original Ice Hotel in Lapland, Sweden. It has evolved from a 60 square meter igloo into the biggest ice hotel made of snow and ice with an area of 5,500 square meters. The art-chitecture of the Ice Hotel has inspired a lot of people and have been the reason why ice hotels have been popping in different countries.
They also have the Ice Bar in partnership with Absolut. Aside from their Ice Bar in Jukkasjarvi, they have launched ICEBAR in Oslo, Tokyo, Copenhagen, London, and Stockholm.
This year they are offering a guided tour by bus for guests so you will have the opportunity to see the northern lights. Burn some $400 to $500 to experience the ICEHOTEL.

American House Lit Up by One Million Christmas Lights
For most of us, Christmas lights are just another tradition, but for Faucher family, in Delaware, it has become a real passion. For 23 years they have been decorating their home with one million Christmas lights that cover every inch of their property. The lights are accompanied by other joyful Christmas ornaments that spread through out the garden, like snowmen, candy canes, elves or toy soldiers.
But this beautiful, over-the-top display of Christmas spirit is definitely not cheap. According to “House Logic”, a homeowners website, the bill could reach a staggering $82,320, if the lights used are common 5 watt C7 bulbs that are left on for four hours every night, for 30 days. If they use LEDs, they “only” have to pay a $10,680 electric bill, while proudly owning an environment-friendly installation.
The Christmas lights tradition is an ancient one. Even in the times when Christians were persecuted, people chose to light candles as a symbol of celebrating Christmas. It was around the year 1500 that Christmas trees were decorated with lights for the first time, in Germany, but quickly spread throughout the world.
It was only in the 17th century the Christmas lights were brought to the outside of the house, as people started decorating their homes and gardens.
Although the tradition of decorating with Christmas lights became very popular after the 1950′s, it’s only fair to say that the Fauchers took it all to another level with their 1 million lights installation. Every year, they enjoy the admiration of not only their neighbors, but also that of people from around the country, who come to admire the Fauchers’ magical display of Christmas spirit.

Pencil VS Camera - Sketching to Improve Reality
Some of us like to take photos, others like to sit down and sketch what they see instead but Ben Heine, Belgian painter, likes to do both, then combine them with spectacular results. He been taking photos and drawing almost since he was 10 years old. The basic concept is to take an existing image, lay a torn piece of paper over it and let the pencil and creativity flow. This crossbreed of photography and sketching isn’t exactly new, yet through an extremely creative mind and an artist alike, it is taken to an entirely new level. Enjoy!
