inspiration sandwich.

I came across this book at a used bookstore in Cape Town, South Africa. It's a book every even slightly creative person should own. The stories present meaningful ideas in quirky, yet simplified ways. Examples of chapters in the table of contents include: "invite someone dangerous to tea," "learn to watch snails," and "take lots of naps." Look at the cover. "Eat this book." How could you not want to check it out?

yoga.

My new favorite thing. I love the mind, body & spirit concept of yoga. And it's tough! I've felt more sore the day after a yoga class than after a good cardio workout.

I feel as cool as this dude when I'm doing my downward dog. Guitar & dreads included.

Plus, my yoga mat is way cuter than his.

One of my all time favorite styles of artwork- fauvism, with beautiful color and brushstrokes. Lovely.
