Thursday, July 21, 2011 at 12:05PM This Song of the Week is brought to you by The Decemberists because:
1) They will be playing here tonight!
2) One of my besties just sent me this song
3) My niece’s name is Avery :)
Enjoy!
The Decemberists, music, song of the week | Post a Comment Monday, June 27, 2011 at 12:24PM I’m not sure how it is almost July but I kind of love that it is. Except that I’ll be 28 at the end of it. Yikes.
Some tidbits to preface this week’s Song of the Week:
1) He is probably my favorite musician to see live. His energy is amazing and his smile is infectious.
2) It will be taking place at my favorite Utah venue.
Makes me want to travel and daydream and fall in love and sleep outside and watch ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ again.

Josh Ritter, Moonriver, photos, song of the week | Post a Comment Monday, June 20, 2011 at 9:05PM I wasn’t entirely sure what I was going to write about when I sat down this evening. But while reviewing my pictures from the weekend it became clear that I’m doing a decent job of soaking up everything a Salt Lake spring/summer has to offer.
And that’s good news, because life is going too fast.
Brandi Carlile opened for Ray LaMontagne the other night and she covered this song impeccably well. It was perfect then and it’s perfect right now.
Song of the Week: Forever Young
The season so far (in pictures)

Life seems to be making sense in a new kind of way and I hope it continues to :)
There is a lot more fun coming up though and I’m really excited! I just want to be sure to take advantage of every moment. A small list for now:

Brandi Carlile, Forever Young, Joe Purdy, Ray LaMontagne, family, friends, memories, rain, roses, song of the week, summer, sunsets | Post a Comment Monday, June 13, 2011 at 8:34PM This weekend I saw ‘Midnight in Paris‘ and it rocked my world. The perfect adult driven fairytale. If you haven’t seen it I highly recommend dropping in on your local cineplex with a buddy and some popcorn.
This here is the trailer, but I’ll tell you, it doesn’t even scratch the surface of the delight you’re in for:
[insert flawless transitional statement here]
I’ve been thinking about magic a lot the last couple of days. No, not hocus pocus kind of magic. The magic that happens in the everyday.
Big surprise, we usually don’t notice it but I promise it’s happening around us Every. Single. Day. My personal culprit is the “someday” trap.
Someday when I live somewhere else
When I become this or that professionally
When I have enough money to not ponder my bank balance while at Anthropologie
When I finish all of these projects
Then life will be rock n’ roll magic.
But it already is and I know it.
I know it when I have dinner with friends
When I stumble upon an amazing photograph
When I sit on the roof of my carport and watch the sky
When I get to see my niece and nephew
When orchestrating the perfect mix
When the perfect piece of jewelry finally comes together
When I get to buy tomatoes from a local farmer on a regular old Saturday morning
When I go to see my favorite bands/musicians play live
When I travel
I wish I could tell you I’m committed to stopping that naggy little voice that judges everything and can’t stay content for anything but I know it’s not very probable. So instead I’m going to pick up where I left off with some daily intentions.
In 2009 I was living in my grandma’s dark basement with wood paneled walls + wallpaper with pink poofs on it. I had finally bought myself a beautiful Jill Bliss journal and started filling it with three things:
1) Something I’m grateful for
2) Something I accomplished that day
3) An intention for the next day
Today I’m grateful for: amazing friends, gemstones, the blogosphere, water, pain, magic.
Accomplished: drinking enough water, working on a big project, finishing some designs, and feeling happy!
There are a bunch of intentions for tomorrow but I’ll share one: wake up at 6 AM.
What are you grateful for? And what kind of magic is blessing your day? Quick, think of 3 and share with someone. Or me! I’d love to hear!
The Song of the Week: Good Life
This choice isn’t in my typical genre of musical love but when I heard it today, it instantly woke me up to the magic of my life right now and simultaneously inspired this post. I recommend cranking it and doing a little dance.
Enjoy!

Good Life, Jill Bliss, OneRepublic, gratitude, happiness, intentions, journals, magic, song of the week, unicorns | Post a Comment Tuesday, May 31, 2011 at 1:52AM I watched Singles and Reality Bites this past weekend and thoroughly enjoyed every second of both.
Enough that I geeked out and bought the entire Reality Bites soundtrack for one song :-/
That being said, the Song of the Week is brought to you by:
Amazon MP3
and
The Nineties.
Amidst being so perplexed by Ben Stiller’s ears and wondering if Ethan Hawk ever washed his hair,
I got to thinking…”if I were to channel my inner Janet Livermore, what might I wear?”
Answer:
Now I just need a Cliff Poncier equivalent to rock my world.
Happy Tuesday! Go out and be the Super You!
P.S. I do recognize the irony in the song selection coming from the non-Cameron Crowe film.
Especially when you consider what a Seattle/Pearl Jam/Soundgarden fan I can be. It happens.
Tuesday, May 17, 2011 at 11:32PM It is 2:30 AM and I should be sleeping.
But there is too much to do! I feel like I’m eight years old again when sleeping sounded super boring.
So for now,
I might have to have this dress. Isn’t it a law of fashion that anytime an article of clothing makes you go, “Gah! What? Ohmygosh,” you’re supposed to buy it? If not, it should be.
And…
This here, is the song of the week!: Black Sheep. It inspires me and makes me sad all at once.
Feel free to enjoy the slick pop-out player in place of those clunky YouTube videos. Sooner or later, every song of the week will be loaded into that little buddy.
In the meantime,
Peace
Love
mp3’s
and dresses.
Black Sheep, Martin Sexton, dress, fashion, song of the week, vintage | Post a Comment Monday, May 9, 2011 at 11:41PM Here’s our Song of the Week, at the beginning of the week!
There is no particular reason for this baby, except that I was just rocking out when it came on shuffle, and because I’ve liked it since before I knew I liked music.
This video is a little cheesy at times but it’s pretty rad if you’re interested in music history and/or the 50s/60s/70s. I didn’t realize how much story was behind this song, but I’ve been schooled.
Enjoy!
