Friday Favorite Five

17 Feb

This week’s 5 favorite things!
1. Kathleen Hanna – The Collapse Board Interview

This interview is lovely (I’m biased, because I love anything KH does, but I think you’ll love this, too). Kathleen talks about how she got into music, living in NYC with her husband Adam, and her new band: The Julie Ruin! One choice excerpt:

It doesn’t matter what you do, if you’re not a straight white male you’re going to get more harshly criticized than other people so you might as well just do whatever the fuck you want.

 

2. Fierce Medicine: Breakthrough Practices to Heal the Body and Ignite the Spirit – Ana T. Forrest

I’m only half way through this book, but it’s amazing. It’s gotten me really into Forrest Yoga to where I’m throwing around the idea of, at some point, doing Forrest Yoga teacher training. Ana Forrest’s story is extremely moving, interesting, and inspiring.

 

 

 

 

3. This Oscar Wilde quote:

Every woman is a rebel.

4. Downton Abbey, Season 2 Finale!

Because my friend Kelly is awesome (and because she bought seasons 1 and 2 on DVD), I got to watch the season 2 finale before it aired on U.S. tv! It.is.amazing. Best season finale ever!!!

 

 

 

5. “The Golden Girls” valentines!

I came across this on tumblr, and I laughed for a long time. Enjoy!

My First Cleanse: An Outro

12 Feb

The Wellness Cleanse is over! Today marked the last day. My group had a yoga class together–slightly different from our normal classes, as we held each pose for 8 breaths. Then, we had a delicious potluck of clean food! It was yummy! (more…)

Toesox & Their Ridiculous Advertisements

11 Feb

I made my first vlog (video blog) about my dislike of the advertisements created by Toesox. I should say too, since I forgot to say it in the video: I’m not against nudity. (more…)

Friday Favorite Five

10 Feb

(I’m starting a new section here called, “Friday Favorite Five”, to showcase 5 things I like for that week. This will range from food to clothing to feelings, etc. I stole it from my friend Raechel).

1. Rose Water

I started dabbing some rose water on my face after I wash it, and shit, I love it. It smells so light and fresh and lovely. I bought it from Whole Foods, but you can get it for cheaper online, of course. I highly recommend it. You can use it for so many different things: face, perfume, hair rinse, bath, food, etc.

 

 

 
2. Yoga with dogs = Doga!

I saw this on Tumblr, and it made me giggle. It’s so rad, though. They’re doing this in Costa Rica for anxious, nervous, or hyperactive dogs. Love!

 

 

 

 

3. Wool-ing clothing

If you know me at all, you know I dabble in making WoolPets. Well, I am now also going to dabble in wool-ing cookie cutter shapes to my clothes!

 

 

 

 

4. Picture of Dorothy Counts being mocked by an entirely white audience on enrollment day at Harding High School. September 4th, 1957. 

This image is so powerful, and she looks damn strong.

 

 

 

 

 

5. Brenda Lee, “Dynamite”


I’ve been listening to this song on repeat, and just recently saw this video of her, age 12, singing it. SO good. That voice!
