Post image for Monday Quote: Live In The Present

When I came across this quote the other day, it hit me hard just how true it is.  I have always been such an anxious person but I never made the connection between that and my mind constantly living in the future.  Read more »

Post image for Inspiring Words: The World Is Yours

Image source

This week’s inspiring words come from an artist I have grown fond of. Wes Lang is a Brooklyn-based artist whose work has a haunting dark side, but yet still makes you smile somehow. His controversial work consists of collages of paintings and illustrations, his style is hugely influenced by the employment he had at a tattoo parlor after high school, which is evident in every single piece of his work.

Post image for Saturday DO: Create A Calming Space

With all the hustle surrounding the holiday season, sometimes I completely forget how important it is to take time out to clear my head, relax, and unwind. When I don’t do this, I feel stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed. To chill out during busy times, one of my favorite relaxation methods is to create a calming space in my home, and meditate or write in the space I’ve created. Read more »

Post image for Winter Cabin Wanderlust

As winter sinks in, I normally long for a vacation somewhere warm and tropical…but this year, I’ve got cabins on my mind. Cozy winter cabins that can only be reached by dirt roads, with no electricity and a fireplace to keep me warm.  Frosty windowpanes that look out into trees as far as the eye can see, rustic decor, and lots of blankets to wrap myself in…snuggling up with the one I love and a cup of hot chocolate, just enjoying the peace and quiet and beauty of nature.

We have a cabin in the snow at a small ski resort. We spend every Christmas there, it's magical- skiing on Christmas Day and then coming in for egg nog and apres ski with friends!

I wish our family had a cabin... would be a dream

Post image for How The Moon Impacts Your Mood

UPDATE: This post previously ran on October the 16th, but as we are continually in its cycle, we thought we would bring it back.

Whenever I feel a little unbalanced I usually blame it on the full moon, because I always find around this time I get emotional, touchy, and aggravated. Many people tell me it’s just a myth, but I’m pretty convinced that the moon’s pull has an impact on my body. Read more »

My mother works with mental patients and when the moon is full, she says that they do get more exited, more emotional; she always asks me by phone, is the moon full tonight? because today is been a hard day!! me: yes mom!!! she never fails!!
Karina -Mar 14, 2013, 7:45PM
In my case, I note more influence on me by the new moon... I feel renovated in a good sense.

Post image for December Moodboard: Wake Up And Shine

This December I’m craving a fresh, clean start… hints of pastel shades and florals are creeping back into my mind and I’m already longing for spring.  I love the crisp early morning silence, waking up to the rays of light filtering through my window, playing records and drinking coffee, the day ahead full of so much promise.

I'm glad I'm not the only night owl. My deepest desires to express and create seem to hit me in the late night, wee morning hours. I'm in love, and so inspired that I want to grab my camera now and take it to venture. http://www.paigelyse.blogspot.com http://paigeguthrie.see.me

What a cool idea to post on. I love old pictures. So nice :) http://bohobrain.wordpress.com/

These pictures are great! I wasn't born yet in the '70s and barely caught the end of the '80s, but it's so strange to see pictures of teenage girls from the '70s and early '80s and imagining that they're moms of adults! It's so...weird, lol ^-^ ♥ Annusya ♥
