Random iPhone App of the week: Put your creative hat on with Animatic, an app that allows users to create hand-drawn GIFs and videos that can be put together to make moving animations reminiscent of flip books.

Users create pictures using a frame-by-frame editor and, once pictures are complete, can export animations into GIF or video form. Created by Inkboard, the app is free in …

The brand's ultimate goal is to make the world a better place for the next generation. With that mantra in mind, U launched a 60-second TV spot where newborn babies sing, or scream cry if you want to be technical, the beloved Edith Piaf song, "La Vie en Rose." The ad cleverly weaves together the screams of newborns in one hospital. We're talking …

I still love a milk chocolate hollow Easter bunny, even though it's not the best for me.

Tillamook produces dairy products with natural ingredients, free of artificial growth hormones, high fructose corn syrup, artificial coloring and flavoring. "Goodbye Big Food, Hello Real Food" takes a look at processed food of yesteryear that many of us might still consume. Remember the bight orange cheese in a can? It makes a smashing …
