Three Cool Things


I just found a great new website as I was on my search for interesting and entertaining news that wasn't contributing to The American Gossip Epidemic... HAPPY NEWS! Lots of human interest stories from around the world, including positive celebrity news, lifestyle topics, health and science discoveries and more. Check out good news at www.HappyNews.com (and while you're at it, download the NPR app for your ipad or iphone, which is always full of fascinating stories, news, entertainment, education and photos). See NPR's website at www.NPR.org



Next up...




For all you fashionistas out there I've discovered a great new website where you can literally rent designer clothes (like Gucci, Chanel, Prada, etc). at RentTheRunway.com you pay a fraction of the cost of the item ($150- $300), you get to keep the garment for 3-4 days and return unwashed (even if you get a stain on it!). This is particularly timely in the Holiday season and so much fun to browse through clothes that you just never thought you'd get your hands on! So, go Rent the Runway and dazzle this winter!


Last on the list today is





I've been using this website for years but I thought it was time to share with you all... LocalHarvest.org is a website that brings communities and farms together. If you are looking for homegrown produce, locally raised milk, hand-milled soap, and other farm fresh products like cheese, honey, flowers, seafood and other unique craft items, THIS is your one-stop shop. Just type in your zip code and Local Harvest will give you a list of every selling farm in your area. This list will include every item they sell and the seasonal listings also. For United States only.

Also, I wanted to say that I just saw "You Again" and Kristen Bell has the best skin EVER. Ten points if someone can find me an interview where she shares her secret-- I'm dying to know!

That's all for now, and remember to keep up the good word (#morefunthangossip)!

  5. Jessica, I think you just brought about the 4th cool thing. First, happy news. Second, pretty clothes. Third, yummy local food. Fourth, pretty skin. :) Now I'm ready to face the day! I know I said pretty twice, but I like that word. It fits.

  6. OH! I just noticed. Jessica you got a whomping 10 points on 10/10/10 (supposed to be very powerful according to the numerologist on NBC Today hah). That just might beat out the gold star. Smooth Joy. I don't think it was intentional, but lets just say it was.

  9. Thank you so much for the Happy News! It's a really awesome site! The first news that I found there was about an 85-year-old first time bride. Such an inspirational and uplifting story! Positive real news are so much more fun than gossip.

  13. Hey Joy,
    thank you for another three cool things, the websites are amazing =D I´d like to share another one with you which I´m already a huge fan of!
    A few days ago I found this really amazing YouTube channel where Lora, a young mom, posted Vlogs about how her pregnancy developed and her two little boys are doing, she just had her second baby, Declan, 3 weeks ago. I think it´s really really interesting to see and you can learn so much you didn´t know before about pregnancy and babies, and even if I´m only almost 19 years old now and don´t plan to get pregnant any time soon I think it is so amazing, I´m already addicted to it and watch those videos all night long =D I think it´s so helpful, so I wanted to share this with you and all the other fans who would be interested.

    Much love, Stef♥

    Here´s the link to Lora and Layton´s Youtube channel:

  19. Hey Joy!

    I love it when you post three cool things, every post of yours is inspirational as it is something or someone that means a lot to you and I find it amazing finding out what a great person you are on the outside and inside!

    BTW I love the new picture of you, I say that every time, but you're very photogenic! You're hair looks really nice in it! :)

    It's great to hear that even if One Tree Hill gets a full order of 19-22 episodes you're staying. Haley's my favourite character, thanks for portraying her soooo well!

    Love Becca x

  26. bethany joy,
    i love reading your blog posts, they seem to always be so relevant and thought provoking. Also, i just bought your song "Stars", and I thought of the verse in the Bible that says, "When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?" (Psalms 8:3-4) thanks for all you do :)
