Smile File- AWESOME Gif

  You know I love a wonderful GIF friends (evidence, evidence and evidence lol)…JT Yeang is the incredible artist behind this truly AWESOME gif titled, “Meet Me on the Hill” that made me smile ear to ear. It’s so sweet, but also dark, and modern but really reminds me of beautiful wrought iron work from ages ago. Can we pleeease take a look at the details on this masterpiece!?   People are so flipping great! Found on MAKE here. Well… View Post

Woah It’s September!

In one word my August was joyful :). Like really my cup runneth ova’ with so much joy.

Smile File-Zombies, RUN!

So I started running again a few months ago (feels great, by the by). The BF is thinking of trying to get on the running train, but needs a little motivation, so I sent him this app :D. Zombies, RUN! describes itself as a “Running Game & Audio Adventure”. The dude is kind of obsessed with all things zombies and he likes a good game. I am pretty happy listening to my favorite podcasts or rocking out to old school… View Post

You can read more about the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee here. Also worth a read on Vogue-“The Queen’s Changing Fashion.” View Post

Smile File-More or Less

  I kind of love this. I don’t know about everyone else but sometimes I feel like I am so busy trying to do everything and be there for everyone that I need to take a step back and remember it’s okay to, “DO LESS.” And then sometimes I want to change a situation and make things happen and I have to remind myself you need to “DO MORE”. But really for me it’s all about not feeling bad about… View Post

Smile File-Love From St. Lucia

I really do love a good card. My favorite kind of card is succinct, sweet and smart (you might know this from HERE). So I was delighted while the bf and I were shopping for souvenirs on vacation in St. Lucia I stumbled on these beauties from Naïeli. Of course leave it to me to find an ethical and sustainable souvenir for myself while I was on vacation, lol…I’m not going to lie, this fact made me really happy :).… View Post
