Happy Weekend!

Sometimes we all need a day like this one above:)  Working yourself to exhaustion doesn't earn you extra points. Take care of yourself and RELAX! I'm doing it today! How about you?

P.S. All images via Pinterest. I found all the above fantastic quotes to reset my "ship's course" for this weekend :) I hope it may helps someone like you today as well! 

with Love, 

Lana

Inspiration: October in Pink

This inspiration is from  Molly my fellow artist from Etsy featuring my watercolor. Love this combination of pink and black ... very contrasting.  Thank you for a lovely post!   I feel like its almost end of October and I was preoccupied with a different posts so my favorite color of this month felt neglected. With this note of apology, I think I will give a last minute shot of tribute to my pinks, corals, and especially bright pink and definitely some of my favorite images from my pinterest inspiration board.

TRAVEL is about gorgeous feeling...

I found a couple of interesting quotes referencing traveling/vacations while posting my blog this week.

“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.”

 Terry Pratchett, 
A Hat Full of Sky

I liked this one: 

"When one is traveling, everything looks brighter and lovelier. That does not mean it is brighter and lovelier; it just means that sweet kindly home suffers in comparison to tarted up foreign places with all their jewels on."

 - Catherynne Valente

As much as I love traveling, there’s nothing like being home.  I’ve missed my bed, my art studio, and full access to all my beauty products and wardrobe :)  

I’ve even missed my yoga routine!

What are you missed most about when you away from home? Comment below and let me know!

Note to Readers and Myself

Henry Miller's work commandments are helping me stay on task this month. And almost want to make me write my own work commandments in my little journal (which might read something like... "Work first and always. Friends, movie's, pinterest, blog comes afterwards"). Care to share any tips that help you stay on task?
