Smart. Sexy. Fun.
Each of these juvenile raccoons had the same idea: let's take a nap in this tiny hammock. All seven of them managed to fit, resulting in perhaps one of the best raccoon videos of all time. But it doesn't look like anyone is getting much rest around here! Those faces are too cute. Read more
Halloween's tomorrow but the creatures of Bristol Zoo got their pumpkin treats a little early. These freshly carved jack-o'-lanterns were explored — and devoured — by creatures from raccoons to ring-tailed lemurs. Luckily for us, zoo photographers snapped the action before the pumpkin carcasses were properly disposed. View 15 Photos › Photo 1 Photo 2 Photo 3 Photo 4 Photo 5 Don't Read more
Who doesn't love a good baby raccoon rescue story? (Especially since they get a little frightening when they grow up.) Somehow, a pair of raccoon-lets got stuck in a vending machine and some concerned citizens got a cute man in a huge cowboy hat to get them out. Now these babies can grow up to destroy people's attics, trespass via doggie doors and steal your pet's food, and terrorize adults in Read more
Raccoons don't have a lot of chances to be considered cute, seeing as we usually run into them when they're rooting through our garbage, destroying our homes, or staring us straight in the eyes in their unnerving way. So it's with pleasure that I present you with this harp-playing water sprinkler-playing raccoon. And I must say his technique is quite marvelous. Next stop, Carnegie Hall! Read more
All work (i.e. destroying people's houses and attacking their pets) and no play makes Rocky Raccoon a dull boy. (Also, am I seeing things or are those raccoons in the middle making out?) Thanks, Neatorama! Read more
In spirit of Earth Day, I thought we'd tackle a problem with wild animals. Sonoma b is having a big problem with some masked creatures. The very hungry raccoons seem determined to make a mess of her garbage. It's a company-issued, heavy-duty blue industrial plastic "can" filled with plastic kitchen bags. Even though it's emptied once a week, the pesky critters seem to find their way in before Read more
We're pleased to present this tip-tastic post from celebrity makeup artist and founder of Mally Beauty, Mally Roncal. My BellaSugar beauties, you know what's hot? Perfectly defined peepers. What's most definitely not hot? Raccoon eyes. Nailing eyeliner is an art form — and of course, practice makes perfect. But don't think you have to spend hours in front of the mirror to get a flawless look. Read more
If you're itching for a culinary adventure, there's no need to leave your home! Escape to Avery Island for a crawfish feast with Food Orleans. This was my lunch. I ate it all. Avery Island is a gorgeous place; it's surrounded by a long lace of bayous, has plenty of wildlife roaming around freely (deer, bears, raccoons, alligators), and houses the beautiful Jungle Gardens and Bird Sanctuary.

Kentucky is perhaps best known for thoroughbred horse racing, mint juleps, and — lately — its national championship-winning college basketball team. But the state is quite a foodie haven with a rich culinary tradition. Thanks to the many ethnic influences on its cuisine, Kentuckians have developed a diverse array of foods over the last few centuries that make the state a worthy destination Read more
When it comes to powder eyeliner, things can get a little tricky. Angelina Jolie and other winged liner-loving celebrities swear by the stuff, but it's frequently messy and your typical shadow applicator leaves thick, faded-looking lines. Happily, Essence I Love Glam powder eyeliner ($3) takes care of both those issues. Sure, it's basically just a little bottle of shadow, but the tiny sponge-tip Read more
