"I AM SIMPLY LOOKING FOR BEAUTY, WHATEVER THAT IS - IT'S NOTHING THAT CAN BE EXPLAINED - ONLY FELT. IF I FIND IT IN A SINGLE BOWL, OR WANDERING LINE OF POTS, GOOD. I AM GRATEFUL."

It's a Leap of Faith

"You have to wake up and get moving... or you don't. But if you're serious about this I think that you should take a deep breath, say a prayer and take a leap of faith. It's a leap of faith, it's not a baby step of faith. It's called a leap of faith for a reason."

Gangsta Luv

I love this. So stoked I'm going to see Mayer Hawthorne live in just a few days!

I don't wanna

This is how I feel sometimes. Maybe more lately than usual, but I don't think it's a bad thing. I've been moving in so many different directions and trying to remember so many different tasks that sometimes I just want to go away from it all so I don't have to think.

When I want to get away from everything, sometimes I will just daydream about where I want to travel. There are so many places that I want to go and things that I want to see. I've always dreamed of going to Europe. Years ago, a friend of mine gave me a Let's Go Europe travel book. I actually read it cover to cover. It's full of notes and highlights. Still one of my favorite books, I swear one day I'll use it. Aside from Europe, tops destinations on my list are New Zealand and Costa Rica. For now, I'll just keep dreaming...

Food Pod

Cooking is one of my favorite activities. I hate that I don't have my own kitchen right now to play in, but hopefully that will change soon. I don't have a lot of cooking tools of my own just yet,so whenever I see something out of the ordinary I can't help but grab it. Oh, and I'm a sucker for unique design, so when I came across this fun product from Fusion Brands, called the food pod I knew I wanted to try it. You fill it with food that you want to steam or boil and the rest is pretty simple. I can't wait to get one!

What cooking tools would you recommend or do you especially like?
