Inc. Magazine

My most favorite publication these days is Inc. Magazine, a magazine devoted to "Small Business Ideas and Resources." Many articles are as the tag line says, business-related, but I believe the advice and information can also be applied to our everyday lives. It may sound cliche, I know. But to be successful, to be extraordinary, both in life and in work, sometimes the path we take to get there can have a similar terrain. Below are a few links to Ink articles I love! :)

Happy Valentine's Day, friends.

Let's talk about date hair.... :) Because isn't getting all spruced
up for a date just the best? I love it every now and then. It just
adds something special, right? I have been playing with simple
hair styles as I stated in this post, and I am always on the hunt 
for easy things to do with my hair for date night or in the morning
before work. Let's face it, wearing it curly or straightening it...
These options get old fast!! Today, I had to be at work by 7am so I
wore my hair natural (curly) and clipped it all to one side, kind of
like this. Below are few more inspirations and ideas I may try out ;)

Enjoy!

 

Bun with Braided Twist / Loose Bun / Low Bun / Low Dutch Braid Twist

Before + After. Lighting DIY

I really love Moooi. Especially their Random Light...

kind of sexy advertisement on their site, haha!

 Cool, cool light... But at a cost! About $642....

I found this DIY pendant project and knew I had to try it! The photos

really do not do it justice. It really makes an unbelievable 

difference in our space! We used to have a gold chain fixture

with a plastic-like lense that would glow very yellow. (We still

have it, it is the apartment complex's...)

 We purchased a new stem/wire entirely for this project just

to modernize the dining space just a bit! I will post detail

shots later. Also, I know the art looks really tiny on the

wall, and I will update it eventually! Have a good one!!

That Home Feeling

Feeling sentimental.

So, I thought I would share this graphic with you.

The background are the blossoms from our

apple tree in Colorado. Enjoy.

That Little Umph

Fell in love with KICKBOXING class tonight!

Reverse Braid and Fabric.

Two things.

Here is a quick braid I did before going to 

teach my yoga class this morning. Ponytail

is slightly crazy due to sleeping on

wet hair last night...

I basically just flipped my head 

upside down and braided the bottom

half while the top half was up and away

in a hair tie.

Secondly...

I am loving the custom fabric designs offered by

Spoonflower. Check out the "earth up"

fabric I used above! You can actually

design your own fabrics on this

site. I cannot wait to start. :)
