That’s a lot of big-name actors in one “movie.” This is Jimmy Kimmel’s post-Oscar spoof/attempt to take home all the awards next year. It’s pretty funny– with some straight up weird– if you can spare the time. Daniel Day Lewis is my favorite ;).

Went to the Renwick Museum in DC recently and saw this cooool piece of artwork, “Game Fish” by Larry Fuente. Looks like a marlin, but is comprised entirely of children’s toys. I am in love with this piece. Creativity is my favorite!
Click on the pic to see the detail up close-- gotta do it to fully appreciate!

Left: Fairy Godmother. Right: Adele. Gotcha! Adele's on the left and Fairy Godmother (from Shrek) is on the right. Told you they look alike.
Made these side-by-sides m’self, thank you for asking ;).

Dreaming big is awesome. Sometimes we get discouraged when we forget it takes dedication, intention, and time on the front end to make that happen, so don’t go forgettin’ that, ok?
The Secret Language of Birthdays-- it's a sweet book AND website!
And that is the wisdom I will impart to you today. Oh, I mean… thought I’d share this cooool and freakishly accurate (right?) site that describes traits of people born on any given day, for every day of the year. Picked today to post it in honor of one of my most faaaavorite people, whose birthday is today! Click on the pic to check out your b-day profile. I know mine’s pretty much spot on. (It’s free. You don’t have to sign up for anything.)

Congrats to the Newlyweds!
I know I’m not alone in remembering following the Elizabeth Smart kidnapping story as it unfolded several years ago, and the collective relief of a nation when she was found alive despite having survived unspeakable traumas. It has been neat to hear updates on her life here and there over the years, and it brought a smile to my face to see she got married over the weekend. Wishing happiness to her and her new husband!
Click on the pic or here for the brief writeup of her wedding.

There, there. Better that you're honest about it.
Realllly cute lil site of tiny confessions, called, fittingly, Tiny Confessions. The artist features characters as well as dogs and cats, admitting to their secret shames ;). He prints to cards, mugs, and apparel if you wanna buy something.

This would have been so fitting for Valentine’s Day but I just found it in my desk drawer this morning (I keep copies of quotes I like and find inspiring, and they’re lying around here and there), so here we are ;).
Whether your Valentine’s Day this year was marked by a happy relationship, troubled relationship, no relationship at all, or by focusing on your friends, maybe this quote provides a reminder of why you might find yourself in that situation:
“The [people] we attract and allow in our lives are reflections of not only who but where we are. Spiritually and emotionally. They’re bottom-line reminders of how we feel about ourselves”
Joan Morgan, brackets and emphasis mine
FYI, I don’t think this applies in a negative way to singles! Sometimes being alone, and taking good care of ourselves, is the healthiest thing.
