McDonald's Unveils Global Redesign
Next month, number one fast-food giant McDonald's will unveil a redesign of all its food products around the world. In what the corporation calls "the most comprehensive rollout in the brand's history," all 118 countries with McDonald's restaurants will launch new designs that advertise the chain's high-quality ingredients. The packaging, developed by UK marketing firm Boxer, draws attention to fresh ingredients and preparation: The new Big Mac box includes images of an onion, slices of cheese, a head of lettuce, and a freshly made hamburger, with the words "100 percent beef" and "all-beef patties" inscribed on the box.
My Hero!
Two things I love in a man: a British accent, and the ability to stuff an entire Big Mac in his mouth and swallow it in one bite. (The sad awesome thing is, I could totally do this, too!)
How Do You Order Big Macs Around the World?
In 1988, McDonald's announced their plan to set up 20 golden arches in Moscow. This marked an end to a quiet 10 year-long discussion, and the first Moscow McD's opened that fall. When it did, the people of Moscow were able to plonk down 1% of their monthly salary in order to enjoy a Big Mac.
Think You Know a Big Mac?
McDonald's famous burger, The Big Mac, turns 40 this year. Love it or hate it, the Big Mac has become a cultural force to be reckoned with. To celebrate the birthday of the hefty sandwich, I thought it would be fun to run a little quiz.

Don't Blow Your Healthy Habits at the Movies This Weekend
It's a big movie weekend, for sure. With New Moon finally out, I've already committed myself to spend an afternoon at the theater — the only complication is that I'm not so fond of the movie-theater fare. It's an admittedly challenging place to stick to healthy food choices, since there usually aren't any to begin with.
Website of the Day: MSN Twilight
Only one more day until the highly anticipated New Moon premiere and I know you were just hoping I'd squeeze in one more Twilight tech treat before the big day. And here it is! MSN has launched its very own Twilight website that takes you right to Forks, Washington where all the Twilight excitement takes place.
Stephenie Meyer Geeks Out With Her Mac on Oprah
Did you happen to catch Oprah's big exclusive interview with Twilight's Stephenie Meyer on Friday? Since I'm gearing up for the New Moon premiere (this Friday!), I was excited to hear Meyer talk about the movie and was excited to learn any insider NM secrets before its big debut. Being a Mac-addict myself, I couldn't help but notice that Meyer is the proud owner of a 17-inch MacBook Pro — which by the way has a glossy screen, something I don't think I could get use to!
Fun With Fast Food!
Since I am always talking about how gross fast food is and the oddity of the bigger burger, I thought you guys would find this photo montage entertaining.
Basically it is one guy's vision of the evolution of the McDonald's Big Mac and just how BIG it will become. With obesity rates rising and the recent prediction that 75 percent of Americans are going to be overweight by 2015, these images seem surprisingly fitting.
Rihanna Leads the Way With Amazing Women For Glamour
Rihanna stole the show in her dramatic white dress as she and her fellow honorees took the red carpet at last night's Glamour Women of the Year celebration in NYC. Carnegie Hall was brimming with beautiful ladies from Iman to Maria Shriver and Diane von Furstenberg. Catherine Zeta-Jones stood out in blue and had Michael Douglas by her side for support.
Mac Attack! Goat Cheese and Pesto
You love pesto, I love pesto! I have to admit I was giddy when I found a recipe that combines the comfort of mac and cheese with pesto. It also uses another one of my favorites, goat cheese.
