Carousel: The Calm Before The Storm...

Carousel


Greetings from JFK Airport! Oh yes. It’s all very glamorous. There’s a hurricane a-blowin’, so I pushed my flight. I’m leaving (soon) for Los Angeles, where I’m going to spend a few days before making my way on to New Zealand.

So as I sit here, under the fluorescent lights, I thought I’d compile you a little package of good things to read, & stuff to make you feel good. I hope these tidbits keep you occupied & bring a smile to your face!


<3 Leo from Zen Habits talks about the 5 principles of a profound workday. It’s idealistic, yes, but wonderful to think about & work out what you could implement, personally.

<3 Yes! Louise Hay tells me her #1 healing trick by Sarah Wilson. Okay, so I had a brief flicker of JELLY when I read that these two incredible women had hung out, but I quickly got over it. Louise’s tip to Sarah is so true, & so useful. I’m going to start doing it, too.

<3 Did you ever hear of The Jokers, a gang in Brooklyn in 1959? Me either… But they sure looked rad!

<3 Rachel Rabbit White writes about why I got married young.

<3 The Daily Love on why it’s important to love yourself.

<3 What’s making your life better right now? Great comments! Very eye-opening & interesting.

<3 Like, OMG! Here’s every single outfit Cher Horowitz wore in Clueless in under 60 seconds. So good! Who styled that movie? It was impeccable!

<3 The Muppets x The Smiths = genius.

<3 Becoming the person you were meant to be: Where to start by Anne Lamott. She wrote one of my favourite books on writing, called Bird By Bird. You should check it out, for sure!

<3 I absolutely LOVED reading all about Ava Gardner’s sordid history! Fantastic. The Elizabeth Taylor one is good readin’ too!

<3 There is ghost vodka?!

<3 Bei Badgirl is finally selling prints of her art & you should DEFINITELY wallpaper your room with them.

<3 Hahah… The Best Worst Stuff People Tried To Sell At The Junk Shop. More hilarious than it should be!

<3 Gosh, perhaps we should ALL join Dirty Girls Ministries?! (What a great name.)

<3 I just found this out, & I am excited about it: THERE IS A MERMAID CONVENTION IN LAS VEGAS! How come we weren’t ALL there?!

<3 Amy always posts the cutest pictures of her friends. I like these ones from the Sanrio I Heart Nerds party!

To everyone in the hurricane’s path — please be careful & heed all the warnings. We watched the news last night, & there were so many people calling in who weren’t taking it seriously at all! 100mph winds are a big deal… Please look after yourselves, put together a bag of essentials in case you have to evacuate, & find a place you can go where your animals will be welcome also! Be safe!
