Banksy.

August 21, 2009

While in England, I never made it to Bristol to see Banksy’s exhibit at the City Museum and Art Gallery. Banksy is one of my favorite artists, always provoking and challenging society’s traditional ways of thinking with his art. Check out some of his exhibit below, and if you can make it before August 31st- go see it in person!

Lola, I Want You.

August 21, 2009

I’m a fan of Marc Jacob’s fragrances (I’m currently wearing Daisy!) And so, I was very excited to receive an email from Sephora inviting me to try his new Lola perfume.

[Update: I purchased Lola while in Chicago, the scent is gorgeous- a little more vanilla-esque as time goes by.]

Pools, Au Naturel.

August 20, 2009

It’s hot and sticky in Toronto, and I’m longing for a nice mid-afternoon dip! I’d love to do so in artist Nancy Adler’s eco-friendly pool. The natural pool, which is chemical-free and has its own living ecosystem, was built in collaboration with landscape architect Jonathan Alderson and inspired by the Austrian natural pool company Biotop.

Stop, and Think.

August 20, 2009

Today in downtown San Diego, I watched a blue collar Mexican man get harassed for being Mexican. It was a blatant act of discrimination. And the man actually began crying. As he left the office building, he took off his jacket. His t-shirt underneath read, “I love the USA!” MMT

Another Stumble! discovery (okay, two in this hour, but I’ve been working since 8:30!) Makes Me Think is an online community where people can share positive daily life stories.

Work is crazy busy these days. As a distraction, I’ve allowed myself to Stumble! every hour for a mini mind break. I love this photograph by Kevin Reed.

Hello, Canada!

August 15, 2009

This UK couple set their camera timer at the side of Lake Minnewanka in Banff National Park, Canada- only to be surprised by a squirrel stealing the show! Click here to read the article.
