House Tour: Black White Yellow's Cheerful New Orleans Apartment
While reading the design blog Black White Yellow, I was really impressed by the author's cheerful and stylish home, so I asked if she'd be willing to give us a photographic tour of her home. She lives in New Orleans, where she works as an architect, so it's no surprise that she has a keen eye for design. But what's truly inspiring about her happy, chic home is that she's created it on small budget.
Burning Question: Are Cajun and Creole Cooking the Same?
It's an age-old question: is there a distinction between Cajun and Creole cooking — or are they really just the same thing?

The New Orleans 100: A Look at the Good That's Happened Since Katrina
The New Orleans 100 is a worldwide initiative to "highlight and encourage discussion among millions about 100 of the most innovative and world-changing ideas to take root in the city since Katrina." Creative maverick think tank All Day Buffet wanted to combat the negative press New Orleans receives in mainstream media by spotlighting the best things happening in the city, and let me tell you, it wasn't hard. There's a wealth of inspiring projects going on these days in the Crescent City in the worlds of art and architecture, culture, music, entrepreneurship, education, non-profit, and social innovation.
Keyshia Cole Shows Some Schnauzer Love!
When Keyshia Cole performed at the Essence Music Festival over the weekend, she brought along a furry friend to keep her company in New Orleans – I guess not all pets love giving kisses as this one looks shy about showing any affection! Not only was the miniature schnauzer hesitant to pucker up, it proved impossible for both Keyshia and her bashful pet to face the camera at the same time.
