Music Monday: Jens Lekman

Gosh! I'm finding it really difficult to get back into the swing of things!

It isn't even Monday!

Butterfly's Webinar: The Mantras to Create

Hey Kids!

One of my oldest and dearest friends, Bryan, has put together a really exciting e-course/webinar to help you tap in to your creative potential! I'm really excited to see what he does with it and I'm offering my unwavering support (much like a hirsute Dance Mom) to his new venture. Below he'll explain exactly what the course entails, and provide you with a coupon code to get started!

Do me a favor and check it out!

We genuinely get stuck in the creative process when we rely on others for our passion. When we can’t articulate our end game based on our desires, we might as well forget about creating anything. Period.

ARTICULATING WHAT WORKS AND WHAT DOESN’T IS HALF OF THE BATTLE.

There’s some resounding truths and hot fires that genuinely tick—they’ve been constants in my creative life (and in my life as a whole) that drive my own core sense of being and my muse. I’m thrilled to share these mantras to create with you and to start a bit of a collective jam session on how to keep ourselves honest, alive, and truthful in the creative process.

Join me on Sunday, June 9, 2013 at 6:30PM EST for my webinar “The Mantras to Create.” Registration is only $5.00 with promo code “BBFriends” and it includes a hour and a half webinar, a digital workbook, and a private “members only” Facebook group to continue our discussion after the webinar is over.

Music Monday: Ducktails.

My life has been insanely busy lately. So many things are happening; a giant project (that most of you know about), a new house, and a little bit of dating  have had me feeling overwhelmed in the most positive ways possible. I'll talk about all of these things really soon, I promise.

That being said, I've been gravitating towards really somber music in my down time. I've been exploring the Songza app on my phone/iPad and it has introduced me to tons of bands that I would have never heard of.

Ducktails is one of them and they are magical.

Enjoy!

FRED FLARE FASHION SHOW!

 On the 14th of last month, I had the privilege of hanging with the folks from FredFlare at their super fun spring launch!!!! I was on the fence about taking pictures, so I only have a few sloppy instagrams and a handful of dicey Instaxes.

(If you want to see high quality photos from the event, check out the Guest of a Guest blog.)

The day was super long. The three hour bus ride trashed my hair. I had to put myself back together in a bus station bathroom, before being insanely early for the taping. Luckily, I wan't the only one that was early and I made fast friends with a make-up artist and a filmmaker (among others).

The show itself was adorable (OBVS); lots of quirky accouterments and adorably curated ensembles! I clapped until I couldn't feel my hands! At the end, I had a quick opportunity to chat with Chris (half of FredFlare) before grabbing a slice of Earth Mother pizza from Two Boots and rushing back to catch the bus back to Jersey.

The day ended as perfectly as it began, but we'll save that story for another day...

How was YOUR day, today?

Music Monday: Alex Winston

Hey Kittens!

I'm back! It's been a little while, but I assure that only the most exciting things have been happening. This week, I'm going to try to catch you up on all of the amazing events, projects, and monumental  changes that have been taking place.

To get back into the swing of things, we'll just pretend that it is business as usual and start the week off with some music. Sound good? I knew you wouldn't complain.

Alex Winston has the most magic inside of her.I adore her, really. Not just because she has fluffy hair, either. It does help, but she really is just so good.

You really should just watch both videos, right now. Perfect eye candy for a slow starting Monday morning. The first one was shot in the Heidelberg Project in Detroit. I'm obsessed with that place; it's definitely on my travel wish list. YEP. Detroit is on a list of places I want to go to.

It took me almost an hour to get out of bed and now I'm sitting in front of an open window with honey on my face (I have an underground pimple I'm trying to teach a lesson).

What are YOU up to today?
