Crayons made from Soybeans? We say yes!

We don't know if this is the wave of the future, but we love it! These crayons from Prang are made with soybean oil instead of the standard wax. The advantage? Color that goes on smoothly with little effort.

These crayons look like any other, but with a small layer of thin, white coating on the outside. When you press them to paper, the color transfer is instantaneous and smooth- without the little shavings you get with a normal crayon.

While they can be elusive in stores, we have found them in office supply stores and of course, on eBay. They're inexpensive and a fun crayon for mess-free creativity.

Stars....They're Just Like Us

“When I see myself in pictures with makeup on, even to this day, I think it looks weird. My eyes get squintier and smaller. On the red carpet, I’m playing a character. As soon as I get off that thing I think, Oof, wipe that gloss off. I’m wiping and wiping and pulling my hair out and trying to change my outfit. I’m immediately trying to get comfortable. It’s really a part I play.” - Jessica Biel to Vogue
