1.) August Horoscope (via Astrology Zone) Guess what?! Everyone’s best day of the year is August 26th. If you haven’t read your horoscope for this month yet, I suggest you do. –Farrell
2.) On the Road (via Spotify) I made a playlist based on my Shazams from my recent drive between Cleveland and NYC. I really love Shazam! -Lauren
3.) 12 Tips for Living a Long Life (via New York Times) Some of these tips are awesome and some not so much. I can definately get down with #1. –Farrell
4.) What Your Favorite Dog Breed Says About You (via PureWow) I still have puppies on the brain and am thinking hard about what kind would best suit me. -Lauren
5.) 23 of the Pacific Northwests Best Destinations (via Trips to Discover) This article got me SO fired up about going to Vancouver and Seattle next week. –Farrell
6.) NYC Guide (via loveTaza) These short NYC neighborhood videos are so good for covering the best local eats and stops in a number of New York neighborhoods.
L: You’ve got some travel coming up. Are you excited?
F: I am excited! I feel kind of like it is the last thing I am thinking about at this moment. We are going to celebrate my dearest friend Julie’s birthday in Montana and then going to explore around the Pacific Northwest afterwards. It is going to be so fun!
L: Have you been to my favorite ice cream spot, Sweet Rose Creamery, since you’ve been back in Santa Monica? If so, what is their latest flavor?
F: Oh yes, I sure have. Right now they have dairy free blueberry soft served and brown sugar swirl! It is nowhere near as good as the grapefruit. They will bring that back! Don’t you worry.
L: Did you set your appointment with Home Polish?
F: I am feeling somewhat frustrated with Home Polish right now because I tried to book an appointment 3 weeks ago but have not heard back. I am hoping I am singing a different tune after our appointment.
L: What do you think are the key ingredients for throwing a quality dinner party?
F: Great company, great music, great food, great lighting and great spirits.
L: We’ve been a little loose on our blog schedule lately. How do you think we should reclaim our mojo?
F: I think for right now since it is such a period of transition is that we need to be kind to ourselves and let it be ok. Once there is a bit more stability, we can focus on mojo. Maybe that was a horrible answer.
Making changes and adjusting to change can be really scary.
Being true to yourself is one of the most important things in life.
Focusing on the positive is so much better than focusing on the negative.
Think twice before responding to things when you are REALLY hungry.
I always feel better after swimming in the ocean.
It is important to admit when you are wrong.
There may be no better feeling than being supported.
Sometimes you just need to have a cocktail.
1.) Excerpts from Philosophers’ Breakup Letters Throughout History (via The New Yorker) Quick and very entertaining read! -Lauren
2.) How Women Undermine Themselves With Words (via GOOP) This was such a timely and powerful article to come across as I had just had coffee with an amazing group of women and this same topic came up. Girl power! –Farrell
3.) Andrew Bird playing and singing in a canyon (via Austin Kleon) I had to check this out as this Andrew Bird album remains one of my all time faves! -Lauren
4.) The Thousand Year Journey (via Vimeo) This was the most inspiring thing that I saw this week. I really needed to see it when I did. –Farrell
5.) Marc Maron’s Podcast with President Barak Obama (via WTF) I have always loved Barack Obama as a person and I loved listening to this podcast on my early morning walk. –Farrell
It was a hot and sticky weekend in LA and Cleveland! Hope you had some fun and stayed cool:
