I'm gonna have stickers!!!

I'm getting stickers printed!! You'll get one, and you and you and you and you, and you over there too. They're mostly to fulfill my own girly childhood sticker desires. I would have been the coolest girl in the bathroom sticker-trading club if I walked in with my own personalized stickers. Stickerbookers, look out!

Below is a sticker idea that my always-fabulously-talented designer Kevin Kwok created. For some reason, I am really set on the idea of round stickers. It's quite amazing how he can create exactly what I see in my head. Wait, can he see inside my head? *panic*

The Big Apple Laughs its Apples Off

I told you all I was going to New York. Well, I'm back!! For seven days now, actually. Sorry, I type slow.


My first trip to New York can be captured in one word: magical. As in, Harry Potter would be jealous of me.  I am completely enamored with the city in all its fire escape glory. I introduced New York City to the awesomeness that is The Laughing Tree, though I did not take as many pictures as I would have liked because it was so cold there and my hands were being selfish inside my warm pockets. 


All the pictures are on the Facebook page, and here are a few highlights:




Top of the Rock overlooking NYC!

Left our mark in Times Square.


In front of J's house...the snow was knee-deep!

Subway ride. Saving a seat for my wire winder friends.

Possibly my favorite picture in the album...Sweety Dog is so excited he's hopping instead of walking.


This post was for The Laughing Tree in NYC...I will post a more detailed update of my trip and adventures for your stalking pleasure!

My first domestic flight within the continental US? and cool product pics to share

The past few summers and winters, I have been traveling by plane a LOT, mostly in Asia. To Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and all over China's countless cities.


And tomorrow marks my very first domestic flight to another continental state within the United States! Funny that I have never flown domestic before (ok, except to Hawaii, but those are islands). Also funny that I'm actually kind of nervous flying domestic by myself for the first time, when I have flown everywhere else internationally by myself, and the fact that people speak English where I am going. 


Oh, where am I going? NEW YORK! I will reunite with two (or possibly three) of my best friends, one of whom goes to med school there, and the other happens to be a link. Been collecting places go and things to eat! My pockets are of full of suggestions. This will be The Laughing Tree's second adventure out into the world!


And as always, I've been keeping my eyes out for all things cute, possibly to join The Laughing Tree family. I will share with you some of my favorites:





pineapple paper slices in a tin


 the Leaf-it

toast & eggs, yum.


coffee milk carton of memo paper


for when your papers have booboos


sticker tabs for page-marking. SO COOL!


hanger for your pen cause it shouldn't get wrinkled


i like you pen. perfect for valentine's day!


stamp or pen? identity crisis.


my fav: bookmark corners!!



Send me anything you see that's cute enough for The Laughing Tree! 

Shoutout to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. because it's his day on Monday and we will forever remember his greatness and leadership.

Vegas adventures!

Hello loves!


As promised, I've posted the pictures of The Laughing Tree's adventures onto our Facebook page. "Like" it if you haven't already!


We had a wonderful 4 days in Las Vegas. My family and I saw Le Reve and Phantom of the Opera, both of which were crazy amazing. My eyes were going to explode from the visual ingenuities in Le Reve, with all the flying and swimming and bald muscle men. And Phantom of the Opera completely took my breath away with the music and singing and story...I cried at the end, I did. Still need to do: get the soundtrack.


We ate at The Buffet at Aria, which was DELICIOUS. They had the best mashed potatoes I've ever tasted!! Anyway, without further ado, feast your eyes on our trip!
