“Chat History” by Rebecca Armendariz, GOOD
A tragic (and true) love story for the new generation.
In hundreds of chats automatically saved to my account, we express our love for each other readily and naturally in our own private speech. This is a history of our relationship that we didn’t intend to write, one that runs parallel to the one authored by his uncontainable illness.

A cover story I wrote on pastor Dave Gibbons of Newsong Church. He’s an inspiring guy.

We just got this second wedding video from our videographer, and I thought I would share. (Remember the first one?)
We’ve been married for a year and a month now. Crazy, huh? Marriage is … for lack of anything eloquent or poetic or wise to say … the best. I love our tiny family of two.

These prints from Pop Chart Lab are so thorough, so well done, so rad. You’ve got to go to the website to zoom in on and get lost in all the crazy details. (Try to spot the David Bowie hair — it’s like a Where’s Waldo hunt!)

I love this dress. Well, really, I love this entire photo—if only I could look so effortlessly elegant while riding my shiny scooter next to Roman statues—but the dress! Isn’t it perfect?
And it can be yours. Shabby Apple, which offers all sorts of lovely, vintage-inspired women’s dresses, along with fabulous swimsuits and pretty jewelry, is giving one lucky Woo! reader this summer frock, Spanish Steps. The top is super soft, made of a jersey knit, and the full sateen skirt is adorned with appliquéd, ruched flowers. I could imagine wearing it to a bridal shower, or maybe a fancy yacht party—you know, if I were ever invited to one.

Been in a bit of a life-slash-internet funk lately. Hoping to find inspiration again soon.

So I watched this awesome video on how to do marble nails. (Watch it. I bet you’ll be inspired, too) Then I tried it myself.
Yeeeeeah. I get the idea of how it’s supposed to work, but my nails ended up more “abstract art” than swirltastic. Which is okay. I still like them. I might try it again sometime, but probably not because it makes a huge mess. But you should try it and post pics!
