breath-takers of the day.

I would be happy to have any of these in my future home. pleasethnx.

I love when you find a bunch of different styles and can combine them to make your home creative. This is why i am a serial thrifter. if you are under 10 dollars and a completely different style than what I got, you are mine. of course most of these things can be found in a pier one imports or bed bath and beyond. but its the slight mixes with random touches (like the wishbone in the last pic!) that make a home unique. i can't wait to someday put these kinds of touches in my house :)

WANT.

This would make typing a whole new experience.

I want someone to sing this song to me just like this man does.

Happy Love Day everyone. Love everyone you can today.

SPRING! COLORS!

Its currently 35 degrees in mpls and this means we can all thaw out and step outside. with this, i feel like having a spring themed party and getting these from etsy and streaming them all over my house

yay! i'm going to go prance around now and go buy an orchid. sunday funday!

I'm going to see art tonight! hats off to ya target!

Tonight i am venturing off to the Walker Art Center for Target's weekly free art night. one night a week all over the country, target pays for anyone to go look at art for free. its probably the only actual nice thing target will ever do for you, so go enjoy!

the main artist i am interested in checking our is yves klein's exhibition: with the void, full powers. here is some of his stuff:

I'm really excited. Not sure what the other pieces will look like but... i think it is safe to say that mr. klein is in no way attached to the color blue. google him, you'll see what i mean.

Mala Blogger and grapefruit.

it's been a busy last couple of weeks so I have had little time to keep this blog updated. lots of birthdays in January means lots of fun to be had. as well as lots of work at both of my jobs AND I am still trying to figure out my next steps. 

i really want to work in the nonprofit sector. i feel like it would be a good fit for me and i believe that i could help people while working in this area. i really need to be helping people in my job or i don't feel like an adequate human being. i want to see people smile and go home at the end of the day knowing that i made someone's life a little easier. not one of us, not even snotty rich people that believe Almighty God gave them their money and opportunities in life and blessed them from the heavens, has a say in what we will get while on this earth. in my opinion, it is all by chance and our decisions what we do with our lives and i have been VERY lucky to have a family that can provide for me and to live in a place where life is pretty easy most of the time. and for me to look at what i have and not feel like i should give back to society in some may, well, i would just not be me. this is the only way that life makes sense to me in any way. with all of the tribulation that people suffer on this earth, as long as there is someone worse off than me, i believe that it is my duty to make it a little better.

i feel like i have had this belief ever since i first traveled abroad and got a glimpse of how other people live in this world. Nicaragua is the poorest country in Central America and some of the people i got to know there could use a helping hand. to volunteer in orphanages gave me an automatic high and left me with a buzz from all the smiles that were created. i would love the opportunity to do this for a living. especially if that means i can travel and make my consciousness a little wider and more knowledgable about this world. 

thus, i would like to join the nonprofit sector because i believe this is the best environment to serve the public and "disadvantaged" people. its time for a change. maybe i will start looking in other states as well. somewhere warm. with mountains. 

on that note, this is what i had for dinner tonight. eating citrus fruits in the dead of winter always makes me feel a little more sunny. a little more tropical. i cut up a huge grapefruit that i had been waiting for the perfect time to eat and i ate it with scoops of cottage cheese and blue agave nectar. breakfast for dinner? maybe. but it sure did make me forget for one second how friggin cold it is outside!!
