Smile File-Life is Grand
Friends, I read the most beautiful bit of advice on worrying this week on A CUP OF JO. “Picture that the Grand Canyon is your life–your past, present and future. Start envisioning the various parts of your life within the canyon: Over there is the day you were born, your third-grade choir performance, your job as a babysitter. Picture your present: There’s your apartment, your friends, your mom, the book you’re reading right now. Picture your future: There’s your next… View Post
Smile File-HallowMeme!
So I looooooooooove Halloween! LOVE! Wednesday night I went to the 3rd annual HallowMeme party and had a blast! The kicker of this party was that your costume had to be an internet meme. You know I heart the internet and this party is kind of a internet nerd’s dream. Do you know what we are?!?!? OMIGOSH! I’ll tell you! So there has been an odd trending topic this year in stock imagery of photos of “woman laughing with salad”.… View Post

Smile File-The Levitating Girl
Um, I got a little obsessed with flipping through Natsumi Hayashi’s website. This gorgeous girl is making herself levitate through images. In an interview with MY MODERN MET when asked why she took on this series Hayashi says, “We are all surrounded by social stress as we are bound by the forces of earth’s gravity…So, I hope that people feel something like an instant release from their stressful days by seeing my levitation photos.” (source) How sweet is that?

Smile File-Home Sweet Home :)
Hello friends, I’ve been a little out of touch so thought it would be good to bring you a wee bit closer to me by showing you a really important part of my home…specifically where I write to all you lovely readers-my office!

I am suuuuper particular with what… View Post
Smile File-Office Space
So I’ve just got back from vacation and it’s not easy returning to work, but maaaaaybe if I worked on a pirate ship like the folks at Davison’s Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania offices it would make the return a little easier. Or maybe a desk that felt like you were lounging around the porch? That would be nice :). Davison launches over 2,500 inventions each year produced by its 250 staff working in this fantastic 75,000 square feet office space. (source) I… View Post
Smile File-Cutest Baby EVER
Meet Jinky!!! This little baby is my BF’s niece. I’m sure you have really cute babies in your life but I’m sorry I think Jinky takes the cake! Her faces are just the best! She was born really really premature (fit in your hand tiny) and because of this she had a hard time speaking and so developed the all-time best expressions! This pic is soooo my favorite. To me she looks like Squash from Plants v.s. Zombies! Both Jinky… View Post

Some fuuuuun for your Friday my dear friends. I stumbled on the work of Terry Border on OWNI.EU and it made me so happy. Border has done a lot of work for ad campaigns and you may have also seen his work on greeting cards. I really think there is something joyful about his small still life work, with the real simple additions of wire Border just coaxes the items to life for me. Really super clever and has a… View Post
