A Gift

Precious Presentation

 Yesterday afternoon my mom decided to buy me a gift, just because. She noticed three summers ago that I had been eyeing a wrap-around watch. I had stopped thinking about it, but she found one that was a little different, but very sophisticated, if you ask me.

 Today I saw that some of my readers are as far north on the planet as Russia, and as far east as Indonesia! Privet! and Apa Kabar? to you all!

Fancy or sleepy? Haha

Thanks to Yvonne for being my photographer (and awesome sister).
That's all for this week! :)

Thinking about Beauty

When was the last time you allowed yourself to stare at something beautiful? Not something dark, violent, sad or angering, but beautiful. How did it make you feel?

I have found that it elevates my mind and increases as sense of expectation for good things. Human beings have been known to find a world view and then go about, looking for evidence that their world view is true. So why not look about for things that warm your heart and make you hope for great things? I've noticed of myself that being surrounded by people who are beautiful on the inside has changed me for the better rather quickly.

Besides this, when one views beautiful things (or actions) one gets lost in the moment, transfixed. More and more behaviorists are seeing the benefits of being completely absorbed in your work/play/moment. Better concentration, increased immune systems, relaxed muscles as well as many other benefits are the outcomes of getting "in the zone" as some call it.

I could tell you about all the sources I've read, seen and listened to.

But why not try it yourself?

A Well-Dressed Man

What's not hot about a well-dressed man? I don't believe clothes make the man. But if men are anything like me, the right outfit can give a little boost of confidence that makes a person feel like they're firing all cylinders.

Guy Ritchie's short film/commerical for Dior Homme has been a favorite of mine since I first watched it. Actor Jude Law is opposite model Michaela Kocianova, each of them playing dangerous-playful, and it's all set to the swank musical stylings of Muse, the first movement of the Exogenesis symphony.

I love the part where she helps him put on the cuff links and holds the telephone for him. I guess that's my inner desire to find a man of such confidence and not catch him, but be caught by him. (Yeah, I'm old-fashioned like that!)



So what do you think?
