Monday Escape

Day dreaming of far away places this Monday. The Anthropologist displays incredible photos by David Eustice of his homeland, the Scottish Highlands.

My Summer To-Do List

1) Revamp the love nest




Starting with something funky and tribal on the bed...



More flowers (the second one I handpicked from the neighborhood)...


DIY Lamp to add some romance...


2) Revamp me!


Right now my hair is heading in this direction; overgrown, gray and horse-like (and definitely not chic like this model).


Love this color and hairstyle...


Want a pair of colorful jeans...



Find a great dress for the multiple weddings I will be attending...


(I want the opposite of this chick's look...oh English royalty, you can be so strange)



3) Take a class



The Workshop is offering a lot of great classes this summer including fire escape farming and DIY glass jar terrariums. Definitely think both would be fun but am also looking forward to taking a continuing education class for Massage Therapy. Currently trying to find classes in Lomi Lomi (Hawaiian massage), shiatsu, and Thai massage.

4) Last but certainly not least, HUSTLE.


Currently deciding between these two business cards from Moo for building my private massage practice...


Love these for freelance editorial work...



Hope this summer turns out to be a fun yet productive one. And now, your moment of zen...

Musical Round-Up

First installment of the Stern Grove Festival was excellent. Great music, great location (ahhh redwoods, I love you) and great people. You can find my recap for the eventseekr blog here and some photos of the lovely day below.


Our view.


Sharon gettin down!

Bon Bon Bon!

Just purchased tickets to Bon Iver show @ The Greek Theater in Berkeley. Makes me look forward to September even more. Now if they would just start selling day passes to Outside Lands...

Dude Stuff

I'm a lover of many manly things and of men for that matter. With Father's Day behind us, I wanted to give a shout out to my favorite "dude stuff". Inspiration: My boo, the epitome of skinny white boy swagger and my pops of course.


Dude Dreamboats.



Great dude present.


Dude stuff refrigerator.


Agreed.


Like a boss.

Wordfeud is like Crack

Wordfeud (the cheaters version of scrabble on your phone). Ya, I love it...and all you strangers are going down!

SF's Fixation with Gertrude Stein

Seems like every where you turn in the city, Gertrude Stein is staring at you. With three different exhibits currently going on in the city, she really is everywhere. The SFMOMA, The Contemporary Jewish Museum and The Yuerba Buena Gardens all feature the art-collector, writer and all around nut this year. I LOVED the SFMOMA exhibit and today I am going to the CJM exhibit with a friend. Pretty artsy-fartsy of me eh? Next thing you know, I will be sipping double espressos, wearing costume outfits and chain smoking cigarettes outside of Revolution Cafe with the rest of the Mission brooding art crowd.


I brought home this Matisse print from the SFMOMA a few weeks ago after seeing the exhibit. As soon as I get my grubby paws on a decent (cheap) frame, I might actually hang it.
