stuff i'm digging.... (day 4)

so. day 4. and i should probably be working out, but i'm more likely just hanging around van like a lazy bum. so. for those of you more motivated than i.
since we're heading into summer, AND i'll most likely be in a bathing suit all the time i possibly can, moving forward.... i've been trying to figure out how to integrate some sort of workout ish routine into my day to day. to be clear, i'm not the type of person who feels as though looking good is something that is important - it is my belief that if you feel good about yourself, you are twice as productive in the real world. for me, getting back in shape is mostly mental - i'm trying to get back to the place i was prior to my injury, as health and an active lifestyle was not only something important to me, but also a part of my day-to-day.
so. thus begins the week of workouts. it's crazy what you can find on pinterest.

a full week of workouts - two types - all from pinterest. it's quite likely i printed these all out to bring on my trip, and even MORE likely that if i did that, i have done approx 17% of the overall exercises. 
sooooooo..... can i live vicariously through you??

stuff i'm digging.... (day 3)

normally i'd be finishing a 'weekend in summary' post right about now... but sorry - we're waiting on that for next week. a long one.
instead, i'll share my new jewelry crush - michelle starbucks design. and NOT just because her name has starbucks in it (though i'm sure she hears that allllllll the time).
i dig this woman.
geometric shapes. simple design. brass and gold coloured findings. antique pieces. 
*sigh. heaven. pure heaven. 
i was VERY lucky to win a giveaway on 20 best 20, for two of my favourite pieces from her entire collection.... stumbled upon some luck THERE.
two of my other faves?:
dreamy. wonderful. love her.

just a little weekend peace

this weekend, though i'm already on vacation, i'm pushing things up a notch - heading to whistler for a couple/few days to hang with some friends (old and new). i've only really spent a day in whistler before - not even stayed the night - so i'm excited to get to explore the town, and the surrounding mountains and paths.
AND so. for the friday:

hope everyone has a good weekend. drink lots of water (because it's good for you, dammit!), smiles extra amounts, and sees lots of sunshine and good food this weekend - those are my wishes for you. 

stuff i'm digging.... (day 2)

it's friday. friday the thirteenth. however, as luck would have it, i'm in van, having a pretty cool and important meeting during the day, and if all goes according to plan, heading to whistler for the weekend. so, today, i will leave you with a friday collection of maps. steph - this one's for you.
in the spirit of my travels, finding this gem was perfection. a series of illustrated maps by marisa seguin, in stunning colour palets..... starting with van.

and dudes - her other work is totally dope. check out her etsy.

stuff i'm digging.... (day 1)

and on the first day, he gave us music....
noah gunderson is a prize among men. you simply need to listen to him sing live for about 20 seconds, to know you have been missing him in your life.
Say something awful | As if fucking the world is your right | And i watch you stumble | Drunk out into the night | To cat call ladies | You're thirsty for blood, you're picking a fight | And i wanted to ask you | Man, what do you do in the daylight | So bum me a cigarette, buy me a beer | Till i'm happy to be here, happy to be here | With all of my family, hookers in heels | And the men who watch them like hungry black eels | Run into me sunday | Tell me you had one hell of a time | And through the haze and the gun smoke, i'm forced to believe | You're probably right | Someone lies bleeding | Someone got violent and did not think twice | And i watched you my brother, making a fool of the moon tonight | So bum me a cigarette, buy me a beer | Till i'm happy to be here, happy to be here | With all of my family, hookers in heels | And the men who watch them like hungry black eels
and i think my favourite of all..... jesus jesus
enjoy him - he's amazing. and totally the type of music i will likely be listening to on vacay.
