DESIGN: Feminine Bedroom Decor

Hello dear readers, it's Monika from Style Loves Home here, bringing fresh dose of design! I've been lusting over those bedrooms for a while, I love their "boutique hotel" feel, pink shades, furry accessories and soft lines. They are so feminine and stylish, I would love to decorate my bedroom this way or all least add some of those cute accessories for a girly touch. 

This is what I would suggest if you're looking to give your bedroom a feminine flair!

No, Loop Quantum Gravity has not been shown to violate the Holographic Principle

Didn't fly.

Tl;dr: The claim in the paper is just wrong. Read on if you want to know why it matters.
Several people asked me for comments on a recent paper that appeared on the arxiv, �Violation of the Holographic Principle in the Loop Quantum Gravity� by Ozan Sargin and Mir Faizal. We have met Mir Faizal before; he is the one who explained that the LHC would make contact to parallel universes

Our NYC Apt. Photos

Being featured in Style at Home's special issue called 'Designer Secrets' was so awesome. The main reason is because it was the first time my paintings were featured in print! I was also featured in Adore magazine earlier this year in which Taleen Dersdepanian shot for, and also Better Homes & Gardens Magazine! I couldn't be more grateful.

Here are a few shots from a variety of the issues that may or may not have been shown - hope you enjoy them and please pin them but link back to my blog please.

REAL LIFE: Iced COFFEE, dirty looks & spit up.

I used to love sitting quietly at Starbucks sipping on a soy cafe mocha & reading a book. Watching the people shuffling in & out with their coffee cups, listening to the annoyingly long names for coffee and everything else that happens in a big-city Starbucks.  Yesterday, I walked into Starbucks with my son Noah, who is now 7 months old.  We were alone and he was in his stroller. We stopped because I was hungry & figured it would be a quick way to get a breakfast sandwich & iced coffee. 

Ordered & then sat down while Noah sipped on some pedialyte next to me.  He is now holding his own bottle at 7 months, not perfectly coordinated.... but pretty darn good!  He started at 6 months, so I let him try when he wants to.  Anyway, all of a sudden his 3 ounces were finished & I was still eating my sandwich.  He needed to BURP, so I got him onto my lap.  My meal was now on hold...NORMAL occurrence when I'm with baby.  As I'm burping him, he spits up onto his pant legs, then all of a sudden throws up the pedialyte & it lands on the bench we're sitting!

My thought was "ugh, where is the napkin I had?" I scrambled to find a napkin, and noticed one under my sandwich!  Ummm, I realized I couldn't reach MY DIAPER BAG within the tight quarters we were in to get a washcloth, so I had to make due with one napkin!  The girl a seat away from me SAW EVERYTHING.  She even had 5 napkins or so on the bench next to her.  She looked at Noah & gave me a "not-so-nice look" then turned away.

Of course, for 2 seconds I wanted to tell her how "crappy" that was!   I mean, would it have killed her to offer one or two napkins?  BUT,  I kept my cool.  After that, I also had to change his pants in the middle of all the commotion around us......THANKFULLY, I managed to reach my bag and take out his emergency outfit.  So, there you have it.  That is what my Starbucks experience looks like as a mother.

It used to be me, my book & my cappuccino - now, it's me trying to juggle several things in my hands.  Every day that passes and I fall more & more into my role as a mom... & I realize why mothers are so tired by the end of the day.  Zzzzzz.

Oh, Starbucks.  I kinda miss our quiet time.

The power of words � and its limit

What images does the word �power� bring to your mind? Weapons? Bulging muscles? A mean-looking capitalist smoking cigar? Whatever your mind�s eye brings up, it is most likely not a fragile figure hunched over a keyboard. But maybe it should.
Words have power, today more than ever. Riots and rebellions can be arranged by text-messages, a single word made hashtag can create a mass movement, 140

Can dark matter cause cancer?

Tl;dr: Yes. But it�s exceedingly unlikely.
Yesterday, a new paper appeared on the arxiv, provocatively titled �Dark matter as a cancer hazard.� It is a comment on an earlier paper by Freese and Savage, which I previously wrote about here.
Freese and Savage in their 2012 paper estimated the interaction rate of dark matter with the human body for weakly

MULTI MACA

Maca, also known as Lepidium Meyenii, is an annual plant that is cultivated in the Peruvian central highlands. The edible root, which resembles a radish, is a staple food for the local population.

Maca has been highly revered for over 2,000 years in Peru. According to legend, the Incan warriors ate Maca for strength and endurance before going to battle. The Spanish Conquistadors called it the �sex herb of the Incas.� Today it is known as �Peruvian Ginseng�. Modern studies suggest that Maca may promote libido, sexual potency and energy.

Women in South America have also used Maca for thousands of years to help maintain their stamina and handle stress.

1. �Dark� doesn�t just mean we don�t see it.

It means it doesn�t emit any electromagnetic radiation for all we can tell. Astronomers haven�t been able to find neither light visible to the eye, nor radiation in the radio range or x-ray regime, and not at even higher energies either.
2. �Matter� doesn�t just mean it�s stuff.
