These gorgeous blue grizzly rooster earrings are amazing… if only I could pull this off. I LOVE that color. Bonus – not only are they cruelty free, but they were made by my dear brother’s talented girlfriend Amanda!

Anyone read The Money Book for Freelancers? I’m really intrigued, but then again I am a dork who likes to spend time reading about personal finance.

Here’s what a lifetime’s worth of corn syrup consumption looks like – ewwww!

Is LA the most diverse city in America?

I love Cyclelicious’ ‘Smile! You’re on a bike!’ series.

I’ve been craving Boulder, CO like nobody’s business lately, and this cool Makerie creative retreat is only making my jonesing worse! Look at all they have to offer… doesn’t that sound like sooo much fun?

3 Steps to Make a Bad Day Good - I especially love the quote this post leads with, ““To a mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.” ~Chuang-Tzu

Really, really loved the documentary Food Matters. It’s streaming on Netflix, you should watch it!
