Ideal Beauty?

My sister, mom and I recently attended a special screening of the documentary film Miss Representation. A very powerful film bringing attention to our society's distorted idea of beauty and worth. The film included a small clip from Dove's "Evolution" video, attached below. I saw this video ages ago, but the impact is still fresh and current. If you've already seen it, check it out again. It's always a good reminder that the images in magazines are not reality, and we're crazy to compare ourselves to them!

Cute Cards

I have a new love for cards- making them, buying them, receiving them- what's not to love. They're miniature pieces of artwork, and a great way to say "I Love You", ESPECIALLY on Valentine's Day. Check out some of these cute ones I came across today.

Must.Have.Pockets.

Pockets are a big deal for my two year old niece. She loves them! Loves putting things into them, loves the surprise of finding those goodies later, and she's equally excited when she realizes that other people have them too! We're hard pressed to get this little one into anything without them. I soon realized that I also have a thing for pockets. Enter the Ukiah Pullover by Curator. This is a new line for us, and we're pretty excited about it. Colours are great, fit is great, and ta-da pockets!!! I think my niece would approve.
