Meditate Monday


Awesome:
♦Need a time waster? Bandnames...click random. Your welcome. (Hat tip to Allison!)My favorite one.

DIY:
♦Make faux vintage labels.
♦Cool book page covered table.
♦Name plate necklace...made from a old credit card. (Why didn't I think of that!)
♦Terrarium necklace.
♦Boot keeps/boot inserts. (I have been doing this for years!)
♦Make your own tattoo tights. (I have to try this!!!)
♦Dream pillows. (Help with relaxation.)

Fun:
♦Kate Sokoler has a funny take on peacocks.
♦Corgi pin-ups.

Feminism:
♦Vogue makes changes…but are they enough?
♦Taking "doll face" to the extreme!
♦A film shows the stark contrasts that Indian woman face:

"Prachi says she doesn’t mind the beatings. After all, she says, they are only administered when she has done something wrong. She says her father has the right to punish her, as he gave her life—and allowed her to live it. The film makes the point that in many Indian families, baby girls are devalued to the point that parents will ship them off to orphanages, or even kill them, simply because they are not boys."
Heroes:
♦Man prevented 160 suicides! More about Don Ritchie.
♦Weird is good.

Noms:
♦Citrus bars. (The lime ones sound so good!)
♦Dr. Pepper brownies. (Please ignore that they are diet.)
♦Brown Butter Rhubarb Crumble.
♦Peanutbutter puppy treats.

WTF:
