If there's one thing I've ever learned, your collection of vintage clothing—all those rare pieces, heirlooms—should never be given up. Cycling back around whether its 'on trend' or just within your character. Been feeling like I've had a past life in the 60's and 70's more than ever. Glad I'm back, but wishing for a more collective sense of activism and compassion during this new generation of suffering.

I started my dream first-job a few weeks ago and am slowly acclimating to life here. Yesterday was my first morning shred session with my coworkers, and although sore, I am really happy that snowboarding is a lot like riding a bike; after a 4 year hiatus to finish art school in Minneapolis, I had not been on a real mountain in quite some time. Stowe was beautiful, and the one run that we lapped was terrifyingly icy and fast at first, and later in the morning, soft and littered with teleskiers through the misty rays of sun...
The best part about snowboarding yesterday was coming back to the office and completing this dream full circle. I'm working on familiarizing myself with the overall identity and design system(s) and implementing them....and trying to navigate the server for the source files....and above all trying to stay "shrednasty".

This is me in my office.

El Perro Del Mar "Shelter" (by The XX) from The Control Group on Vimeo.

This is the song/video that gets me through my days lately.

And aside from my coworkers livening the atmosphere, this is what makes me laugh out load while I'm working.

Synergy Fitness day #1

I only broke one capillary in my face today in my exercise class!
The brazilian buttlift workout (formerly from P90X) is seriously in motion. While googling for some history behind (no pun intended) this program I came across many horrifying photos of the "brazilian butt lift" cosmetic surgery. Cant imagine how many capillaries were sacrificed during those procedures...


EESH.

WEEKS/WEAKS

From boating to flying and crying and whining and dining. Northome, MN to Bemidji, to Minneapolis, to Phoenix, to Los Angeles, to San Diego, to San Marcos, to Carlsbad, to San Diego, to Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA. Held together by hours of contact with the lovely and wonderful ladies and families closest to me. Sarah and a Blister in the sun and my favorite Maddie Mug.

im about to sleep when im dead

you know its bad when this song/video is your sanity.
ok—kale, too.

ACTUALLY, DONT CALL ME

i am too busy.

A very beautiful being.

Wow, for the last few days, by various people here in Minnesota, I have been told I should "be a govy-girl" or move to Government Camp, Mt. Hood Oregon.

I'm not sure if that is flattering or not. Little did they know that I've already lived there and have my fair share of stories to tell. Now, if I wanted to live in a real mountain town, it would have to be Jackson Hole, WY!

...so during my google search to find a similar Wyoming felted piece, I came across other amazing things: 

this book is seriously SO GOOD.



Man, what we need is another Roosevelt Franklin right now. And another decade of classic Sesame Street pumping love and sing-along songs through our veins.



My grandma claims to be from the greatest generation, having gone through the depression. Can you imagine growing up during a time when A POLITICAL LEADER was your hero? The days of American Idols may soon be over...

a look at THE LIFE

(QUICK I ONLY HAVE 10 MINUTES TO DO THIS)
my worksoon this should be very expressive of...the more is less aesthetic.

while working in class today, my friend and i were very hungry and i told her "im so hungry, that i think i am going to eat mayonnaise (on my sandwich)"
so i came home and i maybe took a little more than the "10 minute meal" theme that i had thought to have perfected. i tried to neglect the mayonnaise because i thought it contained partially hydrogenated oils, but alas it features eggs. almost worse. but a good start to the miniature, travel sized jar of it. 2" tall maybe. it tasted SO good with the sirracha and kale.
most definately a
i browsed my online world a good one.
