Housing Crisis

These are two amazing photos of home design inspiration from constantly amazing website The Selby. Check out the mystical crystal mantel and the gorgeous plants in the balcony forest from Jonathan and Annie Zawada, Sydney based art directors. The rest of their place is rad, but for me, these two parts are pretty fantastic. Also while checking out The Selby, look at Natalie Wood's place... swoon swoon swoon... between The Selby, Sartorialist and Garance Dore, Australia is starting to call my name with it's creativity and natural beauty + the people don't look half bad... it's so colorful, unlike us.

Wise Words Gossip Girl

My thing about going to the gym is that I leave my bracelets on, and I put on my makeup the way I would do it in real life, and I wear cute clothes, because if I don't feel good when I leave the house, then I'm not motivated to do it. I need to like how I look while I'm doing it.

Taylor Momson aka Jenni Humphreys

As dumb as this sounds, I agree with Taylor/Jenni about liking what you wear when you work out. I just found this adorable athletic attire* website Hari and I want all of these outfits as I'm doing my jazz pilates DVD by my favorite new fitness personality (and Gwyneth's) Tracy "Jazz Arm" Anderson.

White House Smudge

A group of Native Americans, a Rabbi, and others gathering on Monday evening at 6 p.m to do a smudging ceremony in Washington to cleanse the White House, in preparation for the new energy to move in. Since they can't smudge the White House in person, they have picked a different location and will use the power of their intentions to direct the ceremony.

You can participate by sending all of your good energy, best intentions and love to the Obama's in the new White House. Or, rub your crystals and smile.
