Simple and beautiful earrings from Sarah Appleton ($275). Handmade in Paris.
Available from Portland's Alder & Co.
If you haven't yet, watch the documentary on Iris Apfel, which I keep revisiting in my mind.
She is a charming, wonderful woman to be around and I found her uniquely inspiring.

I was surprised and intrigued to see artist Cindy Sherman's creation for Louis Vuitton's Iconoclasts series, in celebration of the brand's 160th anniversary. She created the Studio in a Trunk featuring drawers, a folding stool and adorned with vintage hotel labels -- as well as a Camera Messenger bag.
Fitted with a luxurious vanity case, a Camera Messenger bag and a total of 31 drawers (to accommodate treasures large and small), the trunk's interior dazzles with hues borrowed from the plumage of Mister Frida, the artist's pet macaw. The Studio in a Trunk is produced in a limited edition of 25.

November is here and Paper Tastebuds is making a comeback! Slow and steady but I'll be returning to the blog for more fun content this month after a couple months of being in a new-baby-bubble. I'm kicking it off with some kid stuff, which is sure to make an appearance more often now that its on my radar.
These are some funny and styling hair clips from Very French Gangsters, who specialize in eyewear for kids along with this stand-out accessory.
Dorky jokes aside, I just ordered these fern stamps from the USPS. And came across some other fern-inspired treasures thanks to a post by Shannon of HappinessIs.

I love a beautiful head wrap and these days I'm taken with The Wrap Life -- a sweet online shop based out of Brooklyn with various designs and sizes, plus a totally charming Instagram feed (@thewraplife) to follow. Check out the shop -- wraps range from $18-$40 each. Order two and get free shipping.
Israeli textile designer, Lee Coren, uses her own screen print designs or photographs to create this line of textiles -- scarves and bags mostly. The pieces range from $25-100 and ship from Israel worldwide. New collection coming soon.
Berlin-based clothing and shoes line REALITY STUDIO is really doing it right. Here are photos from their new summer '14 campaign.
Shop online or in a few shops in NYC, LA, Seattle and Portland.
More fun ads! Graphic designer Janine Rewell created these patterned backdrops with matching body paint designs for Minna Parikka's spring line.

The right laptop bag is hard to come by. I'm feeling this tote by Daame, a small new biz that launched with this product only. They donate 5% of all profits to a featured organization that supports women in some way.
Currently, donations go to Outliers International, dedicated to providing safety and education for girls in the village of Minawar, Pakistan where the literacy rate for women is as low as 12%.
Pre-order the tote ($395, was $465) which ships later in April.

Water Life
If you know me, you know my favorite activity is kayaking the waters around Durham. I'm always grateful to have access to such natural beauty, and feel a connection to the waterscape that provides us with drinking water and recreational activity.
As a weekly kayaker, I've been noticing that our water is slowly disappearing. About two months ago, I tried to paddle Penny's Bend at the Eno River with a group of friends. I was so excited beforehand, but any hopes of a relaxing paddle were quickly dashed. There was barely any water.
We were clomping through sand and over logs with our boats. We got a third of the way down the river, and could see there was not enough water and it would be another mile of boat dragging. So, we turned back. I had never seen the Eno River this low. I went home and found that we were listed as Abnormally Dry for our region by ncdrought.org. I was hoping Hurricane Irma would replenish our water, but there wasn't much rain and it didn't provide our area with very much water.
Over the years, we have relied far too often on hurricanes to fill our reservoirs up. We had a bad drought beginning in 2007 and ending in 2008 where we were encouraged to not flush the toilets, take five minute showers, and not to water our yards and gardens. It was a popular year for the purchase of water barrels and xeriscaping. To be honest, it was troubling. Friends tell stories of walking across Falls Lake during this time because it was dry and empty.
Falls Lake is my favorite spot to watch sunsets and see Full Moons. Over the last month, I've been watching the water dwindle in the lake. Last week, I saw rock formations in the lake that I never knew were there. The shoreline is widening and the water is shrinking. Last night, I read that our region had been moved into the classification of Moderate Drought. After a quick web search, I found one small article on the News and Observer discussing our drought status.
As a city that is experiencing exponential growth, water usage needs to be a larger part of the conversation -- we cannot continue to grow at this rate and not take water usage seriously. We as a city need to take measures to conserve and educate the public about the importance and implications of water usage. As a society, we must consider the relevance of keeping pristine lawns, washing cars and other superfluous activities.
We won't grow sustainably as a city if we have no water, and besides, no drinking water is kind of a turn off. Who will want to live here then?
So do the obvious and let it mellow if it's yellow. Here are some other tips Durham Co. has provided to get you on the track to reduce your water usage:
- Run dishwashers and washing machines with full loads only.
- Scrape your plates instead of rinsing before loading them into the dishwasher.
- When washing dishes by hand, fill the sink with soap and water instead of running the tap. Fill another basin with clean water for rinsing.
- Repair all leaks and drips. These drips add up to money down the drain. Did you know that a steady drip from a faucet can waste up to 30 gallons a day? That's about $7 on your monthly bill!
- Install low flow showerheads and faucet aerators (2.5 gallons per minute or lower).
- Limit shower time to five minutes.
- Add food wastes to your compost pile instead of using the garbage disposal.
- Use a broom to clear debris from walkways and driveways instead of hosing them down with water.
- Water your lawn only when it needs it, and only before 10:00 a.m. or after 6 p.m. One inch of water per week is sufficient to keep your lawn and plants healthy. Be sure to follow the odd/even watering schedule.

Dear Golden Girls,
I just started photographing weddings and my feet are killing me! Standing for 10+ hours is not something I'm used to. At the end of the night I can barely walk. What do you recommend? I don't think it professional to wear my cross trainers at a wedding, but they are the only comfortable shoes I have.
Swollen Sally
Dear Swollen Sally,
Oh, we've been there! I've made the mistake of wearing new boots to a wedding and my poor feet were a blistered mess for a week after. Of course, you want to look professional and polished when you're shooting weddings... but standing all day can really do a number on your feet. Don't worry, though... there are some great options in the shoe world! You can be professional and comfortable at the same time!
- Toms: Mostly comfortable, made with breathable fabrics that keep your feet dry and pretty darn cute.
- Hush Puppies: Super comfortable, many styles to choose from.
- Born: Ballet Flats are super comfy, handmade, stylish.
- Frye: Most Comfortable boots, super cute
We also recommend packing a pair of flip flops with your gear or leaving a pair in your car. We can't tell you how many times we've hobbled back to the car after a long day and threw those suckers on for some immediate relief.
Hope that helps!
Golden Girls

About Palatine
Palatine is a northwestern suburb of Chicago in Cook County, Illinois. It consists of more than 65,000 residents. Palatine is situated in a marshland among numerous streams, which connect to Salt Creek and the Buffalo Creek watershed. The Palatine Park District features a variety of recreational facilities, and many family-friendly community events are held throughout the year, making Palatine a welcoming place for everyone.
The public high schools in Palatine are in the Township High School District 211 (D211). Palatine High School has been the recipient of several awards, including the Blue Ribbon Award, as well as a silver medal from U.S. News and World Report's rankings of the top high schools in the country. Private tutoring in Palatine, IL, for test prep instruction, which is available online and in-home, is a great way to work to potentially get accepted into and excel at an elite school.

Parking is a $30 billion industry, which is ripe for disruption. ParkWhiz is a Chicago based company that helps drivers book parking spots ahead of time. These parking spots could be at places like baseball games or in large downtown cities, like Chicago and New York. ParkWhiz CEO Aashish Dalal told me that he wanted to "change the status quo on parking."
Dalal told me that when he co-founded his company in 2006, he felt like the parking industry "has been broken from a consumer standpoint." Since then, ParkWhiz has worked with over 3,000 parking places worldwide across 80 cities and 35 states. ParkWhiz has been handling Super Bowl parking since 2010. "The Baltimore Ravens fan really loved our service," he added. Other big ParkWhiz customers include Indianapolis Colts, the US Airways Center, Auburn University, and Florida Atlantic University.
The company bootstrapped from December 2006 up until this past December when they raised a $2 million Series A round from Hyde Park. The company has been investing in broadening their reach and improving technology.
When Dalal started college at Northwestern University in 1995, he was studying pre-med. Throughout college, he learned that he found the psychology of people interesting and constantly felt like he wanted to fix things that were broken. Upon finishing his Master's in information systems in 2003, he decided that he wanted to take the unconventional route of starting his own company rather than getting a job at a major corporation. He partnered with Jon Thornton to launch ParkWhiz shortly after graduating.
The long-term plan for ParkWhiz is to eventually integrate with connected cars so that they will be more accessible to every day drivers. Our next "natural home will be in the car," added Dalal.
ParkWhiz is growing at a rapid pace and they are a company to watch out for. Perhaps one day you will be using ParkWhiz right before every trip you make.

text: I attended Kevin Williamson's dance theatre event, The Lost Boys, a week ago at Highways Performance Space in Santa Monica. I have to admit, Kevin Williamson is a treasure in the LA dance community. If you haven't seen his work yet I suggest you calendar it in and get your tickets early too. They'll sell out quickly. The performance was artistically strong, thought provoking and humorous all at the same time. So Dope and so Good! The Lost Boys set out to explore the impact of HIV-AIDS related memories on gay men who grew up during and after the onset of the crisis, but who did not experience its losses directly. Within the first 15 minutes of the performance, Williamson hit the ground spot-on around this theme. Williamson's clever use of spoken word, 80s/90s youth culture and radical gestures were perfect tie-ins to the content of the work. Oooohh Yeah, radical gestures - rated MA or PG13 - but they were so important to an aspect of the content - Internalized homophobia and self-abasement that is prevalent in some urban gay-male communities. Approx 30 min into the piece, I found the duet between the Kevins (Kevin Le and Kevin Williamson) really solid. The emotion and the fierceness of Le's quick Isolated movements paired with Williamson's Adagio was a great blend! I could feel the stiffness of the audience on the edge of their seats watching the intense exchange. That along with Munie's lighting sequence during this section made me feel like a participant in the show. In addition to recorded music by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and Ryoji Ikeda, Williamson and Jeepneys cleverly and appropriately used a montage of recorded music by Whitney Houston and Janet Jackson to set the stage of taking the audience back to the 80s and 90s. Seeing the artists perform popular movement sequences from Janet Jackson videos was extremely eye-opening in that 1) we can better understand learned views of sexuality and 2) how silly and corny those dances are 15 or some-odd years later but how they are meaningful to us in some way or another today as we relate the present to the past. Oh, and Psst...., if you do click the link to the Janet Jackson video, cue up to 3:35. In the end, The Lost Boys sought to share an evening of humorous, haunting, and potentially liberating portrait of how people can move creatively with the past to re-imagine the present and the Ensemble did just that. I look forward to seeing more work by Kevin Williamson in the near future. Check out some of our pics below. It was a wonderful evening in Santa Monica. I hope to see you at his next performance run.

Manhattan Express Restaurant Review: True to its name, Manhattan Express takes orders via phone, fax, online or mobile devices. Speedy pickup is the name of the game here, though there are a few sidewalk tables. (Folks who aren't in a hurry might want to make the short trip to its parent, Café Manhattan, for sit-down service.) The kitchen doesn't tinker with Provel on its New York-style pies, but it's more than generous with the locally beloved dairy product on the extra-crispy St. Louis-style pizzas. In addition to the pizzas, the menu offers the essential Italian building blocks: sandwiches, pastas, salads and the local favorite, toasted ravioli. Feed the family with a half-gallon of mostaccioli in meat sauce, plus garlic bread and salad, delivered to you by Dining Express for around 30 bucks.

Now that the busy holiday season is over, I have a question for all of you who visited Disneyland and Walt Disney World the week between Christmas and New Year's. Why?
When I applied to work at Disneyland, the interviewer made it very clear – I would work while others played. This meant weekends, nights, and especially holidays. I started as a Miscellaneous Kitchen Helper at the Blue Bayou Restaurant in May, 1971. After my initial training, I began my regular duties. I caught on quickly and survived the hordes during Easter week, the mobs of summer vacation, and the masses over the long Thanksgiving weekend. But nothing prepared me for Christmas week and I was taken by surprise at just how busy the park can be at this time of year. I had never experienced such a work load before that. For seven days straight, the Blue Bayou Restaurant had an hour-long line from the time we opened at 11:30am until closing at midnight. (This was in the days before reservations.) Mandatory overtime was instituted and many of us worked six or seven, 10-12 hour days. It was hell.
In the picture below, imagine the inside lobby of the Blue Bayou Restaurant completely filled with a zigzagging line that exits the door then snakes out of sight along the side of the building. And this was just to eat at a restaurant. The really long lines were for the attractions. Most of you who visit Walt Disney World have never had to experience long lines to eat at a table service restaurant.
I have often asked myself, "Why would anyone visit Disneyland or Walt Disney World the week between Christmas and New Year's?" This is hands down the busiest week of the year. Park closings due to capacity issues are a daily experience. Of course, the answer to this question is simple. The kids are out of school this week and very often mom and dad have coordinated their vacation to coincide with this. But I'm here to tell you, a trip to a Disney park over Christmas week just might not be worth it.
Living in Orlando, I can go to Disney World anytime I like. And writing for AllEars requires that I visit here 3 to 5 times a week. But I avoid Disney World like the plague between Christmas and New Year's. It' simply isn't worth it. It's too darn crowded. Even Interstate 4, Highway 192, and the streets near Disney become a clogged mess during this time of year.
But the question "Why do people visit during this week" kept nagging at me. I know not everyone was doing so because of school schedules. There must be something I'm missing about this week that attracts so many of you. So I decided to take a drive down to the Magic Kingdom on December 29th (2011) to see if things are as horrible as I remember.
First, I knew I needed to arrive before 10am. The Magic Kingdom is the busiest of the four parks and is always the first to close due to capacity issues. I wanted to make sure I arrived before this happened. A complete description detailing Disney park closing policies can be found at the bottom of this blog.
When a park is reaching capacity, Disney will post signs around property, informing guests that a particular park is closed. However, these signs are easily missed. Once you reach a "point of no return" on the roadway, you are committed to drive all the way to the toll booth where you'll be asked to make a U-turn. This can take a lot of time as the cast members must explain the disappointing news to each and every car ahead of you.
If a park is open, you will still have many vehicles ahead of you at the toll plaza when it's busy. I must admit, Disney is magnificent at parking cars efficiently, but it can still take a lot of time to pay the attendant and be directed to a space.
If you're staying at a Disney resort, by all means, use Disney transportation during Christmas week. It's easier and will save you a lot of time and hassle.
I parked my car in the Magic Kingdom lot at 9:30am. I had to wait for three trams before I could board for my trip to the TTC. Once there, the lines to catch the monorail and ferry boat were incredible. I opted for the ferry and was able to catch the second boat to pull in. Once at the Magic Kingdom, the lines for bag check were humungous, as were the lines to pass through the turnstiles. In all, it took me a full hour to get from my car to the tunnel under the train tracks.
Since my objective was to blog about the day, not experience the park, I did not ride any attractions. I simply circled the park and took pictures and shot videos. Here are few photos of Main Street and The Hub.
Take a look at Tomorrowland.
If you want to avoid lines at counter service restaurants, eating at off times is absolutely necessary. These next pictures were taken at Cosmic Rays Starlight Café at 11:30am. As you can see, it's already pretty busy. But this is nothing compared to what it will look like at noon. Even at 11:30, cast members were guarding every doorway leading into the restaurant. All were designated as "exit only" with the exception of one which was designated "entrance only." Disney does this to facilitate better crowd control. In addition, cast members had the entrance to the main dining room barricaded. You were required to have trays of food before being allowed to find a table. Past experience has shown that people will save tables, thus taking up this precious space for twice as long as necessary.
By the way, did you know that Disney raises the prices on counter-service food over this week – just because they can?
This is Fantasyland around noon. There were still some open spaces, but you had to use your best maneuvering skills to negotiate the walkways.
In Liberty Square, the line for the Haunted Mansion began near the entrance to the Liberty Belle.
In Frontierland, the wooden walkway that skirts the edge of the Rivers of America was designated as a two-way street. Masking tape had been placed on the ground with arrows indicating direction. Cast members were stationed along the route about every 15 feet to keep things moving. There was no stopping allowed. Traffic was so regimented in this area, I was not able to stop and get a picture. This next shot was taken In Liberty Square as you approach the Frontierland walkway.
The area in front of Thunder and Splash Mountains was a mob scene. There must have been a couple hundred people in line just to get FastPasses for TM, which was already stating a comeback time of 2:45-3:45. And remember, with crowds like these, returning to this area when your FastPass comes due is going to take additional time.
As you can imagine, Adventureland was as crowded as the rest of the park.
The shortest stated attraction line I ever saw was in Tomorrowland. Shortly after I arrived at 10:30 the line for Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor was 20 minutes. However, before I left the area, it was 30 minutes. The sign posted for Snow White was 40 minutes, Dumbo 60 minutes, Small World 75 minutes, and Space Mountain 2 hours. But mind you, all of these signs said "From this point" and the lines extended well past the signs, which could add another 10-20 minutes to your wait. Even the People Mover and Swiss Family Treehouse had lines – attractions that never see people waiting. Carousel of Progress was playing to almost full theaters.
As I circled the park, I kept saying to myself, "I'm glad I'm here just to document the crowds and I'm not trying to get my money's worth."
I have created a humorous 3 minute video to better illustrate just how crowded things were that day. Check it out.
People often ask me how I can take pictures and videos at Walt Disney World with few or no people in the shot. Well one thing is certain, I don't attempt this the week between Christmas and New Year's.
After spending three hours at the Magic Kingdom, I'm still shaking my head. It is beyond me why anyone would spend their hard-earned money to visit Walt Disney World during Christmas week (other than it coincides with school vacation). If you want to see the holiday decorations, you can do that with manageable crowds from December 1st to around the 18th. The only thing you'd miss out on seeing during the early weeks of December is the Christmas parade. However, this is available if you attend one of the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Parties.
If you're thinking that you'll get to see the filming of the Christmas Parade and special entertainment broadcast every Christmas morning on ABC, think again. This was filmed weeks earlier at both the Magic Kingdom and Disneyland when the crowds were manageable.
So folks, help me understand. Send me your reasons for visiting during the busiest week of the year (besides school vacation). Tell me why you'll pay top dollar to stand in hour-long lines day after day when you could experience the parks at slower, less expensive times during other parts of the year. Would you do it again? I'd also like to hear some of your experiences, both good and bad, that occurred over Christmas week. I know I'd enjoy reading them and I think my readers would as well. (Try not to write a book. LOL)
When I worked at Disneyland in the 1970's, the projected attendance for the day was posted backstage for the cast members to see. Christmas week regularly attracted 60 to 70 thousand people per day. Disney now guards this information judiciously. So don't ask me how many people visit. I don't know.
Below are the official Disney guidelines in regards to park closings at Walt Disney World. Note, it is common for the parks to reopen later in the afternoon as guests begin to leave.

Not too long from now, the 2018 EU LCS Summer Finals will take place.
Fnatic and Schalke 04 are going to take it out on each other, and both teams have something to prove. Schalke 04 was designed to be a team that would go to worlds, and after almost a year, they've nearly reached their goal.
Fnatic aren't half as worried about winning as Schalke are, however. They don't have as much to lose, given that they already have their tickets to Worlds 2018 punched, or so to speak. Schalke, on the other hand, still don't have a confirmed spot, and have the potential to lose it all even now.
The outcome of the 2018 EU LCS Summer Finals can change all of that.
In other news, the match for the third place of the split will also be happening this weekend. It'll be played between Misfits and Vitality. This could be the deciding factor in Schalke's fate as well. Schalke 04's best bet is for Misfit's to win against Vitality, automatically making them the second seed for the EU LCS.
2018 EU LCS Summer Finals: A Battle of Similar Teams
It doesn't take an expert to tell that these two teams rely on similar strengths to win games. This makes predicting the outcome all the more difficult because it ultimately ends up being a question of which of them could end up scaling harder and winning it all.
The Top Lane
Vizicsacsi and sOAZ both love playing reliable tanks and avoid too much aggression, which helps their teams scale into the late game without any shenanigans. Each of these players is highly experienced and probably won't end up dying in a 1v1, and we doubt applying pressure to the top lane is any team's agenda for this match.
In Bwipo's case, things could be slightly different. Bwipo plays the game to win his lane in any way he can, which could prove to be a liability. We know Rekkles will be playing the bot lane, which makes it likely that sOAZ will be the top laner for Fnatic. If Bwipo does end up playing, we think Amazing and Vizicsacsi would have the upper hand on him.
Jungle and Mid
Amazing and Broxah both have a slightly passive role for their teams, fighting for vision and helping their teammates get ahead rather than trying to carry the game. Amazing has had the most success when he's camped the mid and top lanes, driving the enemy jungler away from Upset. He's done a great job of getting Nukeduck fed numerous times.
Broxah doesn't mind diving the bot lane, but his main focus has been getting Caps ahead for the entire year. Caps is the one who focuses on protecting and getting Rekkles ahead once he's dominating his lane.
The difference comes with Caps, who's clearly a far more accomplished mid laner than Nukeduck. While Nukeduck holds the potential to make a surprise pick, and has won lane plenty of times before, Caps is definitely the bigger and more reliable carry between the two. It's possible that Nukeduck will be on a passive champion like a Lulu or Galio rather than a hard carry.
The Bot Lane
This is perhaps the point where both teams look like two sides of the same coin. Hylissang and Vander are both adept at keeping their ADCs alive and healthy, while Rekkles and Upset have their eyes set on farming and scaling as quickly as they can. They rarely go in for teamfights, unless Rekkles is feeling frisky on his Tristana. Both ADCs are almost equally skilled, however, so the 2018 EU LCS Summer Playoffs Finals is up for grabs.
Upset has shown a tendency to switch between Kai'sa and Ezreal, while Rekkles prefers the critical strike marksmen like Tristana and Sivir.
We've seen them both perform unimaginably well on those champions during the past few weeks. It's all about who'll scale first and lead their team to greatness.
2018 EU LCS Summer Finals: Match Prediction
Prediction: Fnatic wins 3-2
Betting: Fnatic to win at 1.28 odds (ArcaneBet)
Everyone seems to think that Schalke 04 will be predictable, and hence easy to defeat. That doesn't seem like the case, however, since they've already shown that they can adapt to different teams and their playstyles. We expect them to conjure up something we haven't seen yet, which of course, says nothing for Fnatic's unpredictability.
Ultimately, we'll give the match over to Fnatic because of their mid lane advantage, and their sheer experience when it comes to playing the game at the playoffs level. They've destroyed the last team they opposed in the EU LCS finals, and we think we'll see another victory coming from them in these 2018 EU LCS Summer Playoffs Finals.
Unlike the last time, this should be a close match, perhaps going the full five games even, since we're expecting Schalke to surprise us and take Fnatic by surprise.
What do you think about our analysis of the 2018 EU LCS Summer Finals? Do you think Fnatic will defeat Schalke 04 as we've predicted, or are you of the opinion that Schalke 04 will prevail? Either way, let us know your thought down below in the comments!

Happy Monday! This weekend was a productive yet fun weekend which was just what I needed. Sometimes you need really productive weekends and other times you need to let loose while others you just need to be lazy and barley leave your house. This weekend I just needed a little bit of everything, anyone else with me?
Kyle and I shot this look on Saturday when we were driving down Melrose looking for a good blog picture location when I just asked him to pull off on a side street. I love the palm trees in the background in these photos, very LA vibes lol. Unfortunately both my dress and shoes are not available anymore but I've linked similar and the companies are the same!
Today I wanted to talk about football season well actually I wanted to talk about what to wear for football season because I'm WAY more into that than the actual sport! I love to get festive but I also like to stick to my style so I typically try to incorporate the team's colors into what I'm wearing like a skirt or a patterned dress. I don't like to go crazy dressing up for a game day because throughout the day I want to be able to do other things and feel comfortable doing so. That being said, I've linked dresses, skirts, tops, etc. below in various colors that might work for your game day whether you're actually going to the game or just watching it on your couch! Also, I tried to keep everything under $60.
XOXO, Maddy

La notizia della chiusura forzata del Fabric, storico club di Londra, è stata accolta con delusione sui social. La decisione, presa dopo la morte di due diciottenni che avevano assunto droghe all'interno del locale, non ha convinto i più che vedono in quest'azione un gesto ipocrita e che nasconde qualcos'altro.

Hey, friend!
I'm so excited you stumbled across my little home on the World Wide Web! I'm AshleyAnne, a "southern belle" from South Carolina. I'm married to a saint of a man, Jared, and we have the cutest little puppy princess, Tillie. She was named after Tillman Hall at our alma mater, Clemson University, and has been quite the spunky addition to our nest. We recently moved from the Midlands of South Carolina to the Upstate, and are having a ball breathing life back into our 1960s ranch. Pineapples+Porches is mostly a home decor/DIY blog. It was birthed out of my love for interior design and all things cozy and glam. I come from a long line of stylish women whose homes are always decorated to the nines and ready for guests at the drop of a hat, and I love that those same seeds of creativity and hospitality have been planted in me!
I always say the Lord meets me in one of two places: either the shower or the car (ha!), so it came as no surprise that as I was driving across the state to pick up a vintage vanity that He placed the name for this blogbaby on my heart! To me, pineapples (a sign of welcome) and porches (the ultimate social spots) are the epitome of southern hospitality. Since physical distance prevents you from knocking on my door and joining me on the porch for a glass of wine, it's my prayer that as you navigate (and, hopefully read!) Pineapples+Porches that you'll feel whispers of welcome from your southern sister. That it'll feel like we're two old friends sitting out back recapping our days, speaking life into each other's dreams, and encouraging each other to be strong Daughters of the King.
In these {virtual} pages you'll find lots of posts on breathing life back into beautiful antique furniture, tackling home improvement projects like a BOSS, and decorating (ohhhh the decorating: seasonal, holidays, events) your house for literally anything. My self-proclaimed style is "cottage glam" so you can expect comfort with a little sass (that's probably how my girlfriends would describe a friendship with me, ha)! You may find some beauty and fashion posts sprinkled in from time to time, because, like most southern women, I just can't help myself when it comes to glamming it up! Hair and makeup and outfit choices kind of go along with hostessing, though, don't they? I mean your physical glam for your big event is as important as the house-glam, right? That's what I always tell myself anyway! I truly believe "empowered women empower women" and it's my life goal to breathe whispers of worth into women. To help you find your strength and the belief that you truly can do anything. So don't be surprised if a post or two about personal development reads or chants of encouragement make an appearance around P+P from time to time. You, my dear, were made to do incredible things and I'm here to help the seeds of self-love, self-worth, and self-respect take root and blossom into the gorgeous beauty you were destined to be!
So pour yourself a glass, pull up a seat, and let's hostess together!

We had a couple of spare weeks between when we were due to leave Cambodia and when we were due to arrive back in India to meet Tom's parents. We decided to spend them in Malaysia since it was the cheapest place to get to and because why not.
The city of Kuala Lumpur conjured up images of high rises, shopping malls and bustling city life. These things all turned out to exist in abundance, but what was so fascinating was that in and amongst them was an array of culture, colour and soul. Beautiful old Buddhist temples sat opposite luxury shopping villages and businessmen enjoyed lunch at tiny local eateries. We didn't have nearly long enough to explore all that Kuala Lumpur had to offer but in the four days we did spend there, we saw, ate and experienced so much more than we had anticipated.
We stayed in a great little air b'n'b with a charming guy called Zobran, who had moved to Malaysia from Bangladesh to study and work. He gave us an interesting and heartbreaking insight into village life in Bangladesh. Having grown up in a village which had only had electricity for the past 10 years and he described as being incredibly unsafe, he was happy to be living in Kuala Lumpur.

Are you wanting to live the life of your dreams – but you've no idea what that even looks like, let alone how you can go about getting it?
And instead all you find yourself googling is 'am I having some kind of quarter-life crisis'?! Just relax for a sec. Deep breaths. I got you 💋
Did you assume you'd have everything sorted by now? Are you feeling pretty panicked by the prospect of 'this', right now, being all there is? Have you tirelessly tried to create 'perfect' and 'happy' up until now, but always ended up with 'meh' instead? Have you spent so much time people-pleasing that you don't even really know where to begin knowing what you actually want? Well, I want to help you with just that.
I've been there and very much felt all of those things, which is why I'm here and why The Imperfect Life® exists – for you. Now I'm in no way a certified psychologist or a trained counsellor, and nor do I want to be. But what I am, is a practitioner who's lived through the struggle, made it through the other side more empowered and more focused, and I want to help create that change for you too. I don't want to patronise you with industry-jargon or a hard-sell. Your struggle is real. I feel you. But I do want to help minimise your struggle (or hopefully even help you welcome it with open arms. Yep, I'm on THAT much of a mission!)
Y'see my first foray into adulthood delivered me a FULL. ON. quarter-life crisis. It involved grieving three consecutive deaths very close to my heart, ending a 12-year relationship, getting full-blown depression, selling my gorgeous home, quitting my 'dream job', moving in with my Dad on the other side of the city with no friends for support, and then running away to the west coast of America by myself (when I'd only ever caught the train to London alone before). Pretty dramatic stuff right? I'd worked so damn hard at making everything 'perfect' up until that point, but that 'perfect' didn't make me happy and I had no idea why. I felt stuck, hopeless and lost. But the good news?
And omigosh, I would love to help you learn how to do that too so you can feel crazy-excited about your future! 👏🏻
If you'd love some non-judgey support, guidance and virtual-hugs along your own crazy road through adulting, (that doesn't involve sitting on an intimidating couch and pouring out your life story to a stranger), then try out my FREE weekly pep-talk right here.
Hope to see you in your inbox real soon, big love and all the feels 💋

Colossians 3:1-4 Inductive Bible Study
Title: Be Heavenly Minded
Summary– Because Christ has raised me up, my thoughts should be directed towards Him and my hope of heaven. I need to consciously train my mind towards heaven, and away from temporary earthly things, because I have died to earthly things and am now His. One day, He's going to come again, and I will share in His glory.
Central Teaching– Because I have died with Christ, I should think about Him and my hope of heaven, not temporary earthly things.
Key Words– Christ, raised up, seeking, above, mind, earth, died, life, revealed, glory
Key Verse– 3:2
Ten Things this Passage Says-
1. I have been raised up with Christ.
2. I should be seeking the things above, where Christ is.
3. He is seated in the place of supreme honor, at the right hand of God.
4. I should set my mind on things above.
5. I should not set my mind on things on this earth.
6. I have died.
7. My life is hidden with Christ in God.
8. Christ is my life.
9. Christ will be revealed.
10. I will be revealed with Him in glory.
Ten Things this Passage does NOT Say-
1. I (Christians) will be raised up with Christ, but it hasn't happened yet.
2. Once I've sought the things above in my past, I don't need to do that anymore. It's a one time effort.
3. Where my thoughts are centered has nothing to do with Christ, it's about my own comfort.
4. It's possible to attain a status of honor greater than that given to Christ.
5. Thinking about Christ and heavenly things comes naturally.
6. It's fine to be consumed with earthly matters.
7. I am my own person, and control my own destiny.
8. One day, I might have to die with Christ, but I can live for myself now.
9. I can have a wonderful, fulfilling life outside of Christ.
10. Right now is as good as it gets. It's all we have, so we need to live for today.
What does this passage teach me about God?
He raises me up in Christ.
He honors His Son with the highest honor.
He is above me in every way, but I should strive to seek Him out.
He is not carnally minded, and does not want me to be so.
He has hidden my life with Christ.
One day, He will reveal His Son (at the Second Coming).
What is good for His Son (being revealed in glory) is also good for us (we will be revealed with Him in glory). He has only our best at heart, and it never conflicts with what is best for His Son.
He gives hope.
He is not satisfied with outward service, but desires that our hearts and minds be His.
How does this passage apply to my life?
Each week (or month) choose one "thing above" to seek, whether it's a fruit of the spirit (love, joy, peace…), a deeper understanding of Christ's character through meditation on a Scripture passage or the cross, and then seek to grow in that area. Maybe look up Bible verses on that and memorize/meditate on them, pray towards that goal, write down things that I learn along the way. (V1)
Pray about it and name the top 3 things that I think of that are "earthly." Be aware of what I'm thinking, and each time those thoughts come to mind, immediately confess them and replace with Christ-centered ones. (V2)
I have died with Christ, it's true, but I'm also called to die daily (1 Cor. 15:31). What is a "right" that I struggle with letting go of? Find a verse that speaks to that issue and memorize it. (V3)
If He is my life and my hope, then I'm going to surely want to share about Him with others. Find someone this week with whom to share my hope of heaven. (V4)
Discussion Questions-
To whom is this verse written? (V1)
What does it mean that we have been "raised up with Christ?" (V1) This verb actually means "to be co-resurrected." Because of their union with Christ, believers spiritually entered His death and resurrection at the moment of their conversion (Rom. 6:3-4, Gal. 2:20) and have been and are now alive in Him so as to understand spiritual truths, realities, blessings, and the will of God. These are privileges of a heavenly kingdom which Paul called "things above" are all already ours, even while we're here on this earth.
Why do you think it says to "keep" seeking the things above? (V1)
Why do we seek the things above? (V1)
What does it mean that Christ is "seated at the right hand of God? (V1) This is the position of greatest honor and majesty that Christ enjoys as the exalted Son of God (Phil. 2:9). Because He is thus exalted, He is a fountain of blessing for His people (Jn 14:13, 14; 2Cor 1:20).
What are we to set our minds on? (V2)
Why does it say to "set" our minds on things above? (V2) This can also be translated "think" or "have the inner disposition." We should be so focused on Christ that our minds, our attitudes, our desires are all fixed on Him.
What is necessary for us to do in order to set our minds on Christ? (V2) Know Him, study Him, love Him, desire Him…it's hard to think deeply about one who is a stranger to us. It's even harder to think accurately about a stranger. When we fix our minds on Him, it needs to be with true and accurate thoughts about His character, promises or works, not about our imagination of who He is. If we don't have true thoughts about Christ, we are making Him into our own image, which is idolatry.
What are we NOT to set our minds on? (V2)
What are some of the natural places our mind goes to, if we are not careful? (V2)
Is it possible to really be obedient to this verse? If so, what kinds of thought patterns should we banish? How can we do this? (V2) Of course it's possible! However, in order to do that, we must banish words like "I can't help it" or "that's just the way I am" from our vocabulary. Stop making excuses for wrong thinking. Don't give way to it just because no one can see. God sees, and He knows. Eventually what is in the thoughts will come out of the mouth (Matt. 12:34b "The mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart."). We must first pray that God would make us aware of the thoughts that we are harboring, and then hold them up to Philippians 4:8, repent of the ones that are not pleasing to Him, and replace them with ones that are.
How have I died? (V3) The verb's tense indicated that a death occurred in the past, in this case at the death of Jesus Christ, where believers unite with Him, their penalty of sin was paid, and they arose with Him in new life. (John 12:24-25 24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 "He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal.
Isa 53:10-11
10 But the LORD was pleased
To crush Him, putting Him to grief;
If He would render Himself as a guilt offering,
He will see His offspring,
He will prolong His days,
And the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.
11 As a result of the anguish of His soul,
He will see it and be satisfied;
By His knowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will justify the many,
As He will bear their iniquities.
Heb 2:9-10
9 But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone. 10 For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings.)
What does it mean that my life is "hidden with Christ in God"? (V3) Hidden in the Greek is krupto (kroop'-to); a primary verb; to conceal (properly, by covering): KJV – hide (self), keep secret, secret [-ly]. This phrase means three things- 1) believers have a common spiritual life with the Father and son (1 Cor. 6:17, 2Pe.1:4); 2) the world cannot understand the full importance of the believer's new life (1 Co. 2:14, 1 Jn. 3:2); and 3) believers are eternally secure, protected from all spiritual enemies, and with access to all God's blessings (Jn. 10:28; Rm. 8:31-39; Heb. 7:25; 1 Pe 1:4).
How is Christ our life? (V4)
When will He be revealed? (V4) At His Second Coming (Rev. 19:11-13,15,16)
What does it mean that He will be revealed? (V4) Matthew Henry says "It will be his glory to have his redeemed with him; he will come to be glorified in his saints (2 Thess. 1:10); and it will be their glory to come with him, and be with him for ever. At the second coming of Christ there will be a general meeting of all the saints; and those whose life is now hid with Christ shall then appear with Christ in that glory which he himself enjoys, John 17:24. Do we look for such a happiness, and should we not set our affections upon that world, and live above this? What is there here to make us fond of it? What is there not there to draw our hearts to it? Our head is there, our home is there, our treasure is there, and we hope to be there for ever."

Is Weight Loss Surgery Right For You?
Weight loss surgery can help many people but it is not recommended for everyone.Find Out More
In the UK, the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) have published criteria for those considering weight loss surgery .National Institute for Clinical Excellence
In order to be eligible you must:
- Be over the age of 18
- Demonstrate that all appropriate and available non-surgical measures have been adequately tried but have failed to maintain weight loss
- Have a genuine desire to overcome your obesity problems and demonstrate full commitment to finally getting your weight under control
- Fully understand both the benefits and the risks of weight loss surgery
- Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 35 to 39 with other obesity related health problems
- Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or above Calculate your body mass index (BMI) here
You should not drive for 2-3 days after surgery.
It is important you understand the risks associated with weight loss surgery. Your surgeon will make sure you are fully informed and committed to make changes before you sign terms and conditions.
Obesity is a disease, being seriously overweight is a great risk to your health, surgery does carry risks, however, far outweighs the risk of you doing nothing.
Laparoscopic weight loss surgery carries some risks and complications but on the whole is regarded as a much safer procedure with a quicker recovery rate and reduced pain, infection risk and anaesthetic time than that of open surgery.
See weight loss procedures we offer for further information on the risks associated with each weight loss surgical procedure.
Following your surgery you will be asked to follow a post operative regime to allow the stomach to recover from surgery and to enable your body to adjust to a new digestive process.
Knowing what to eat is one thing…. Being able to do it can be a whole different ball game….. you will start to eat normal food again , albeit smaller portions. You will also need to make some changes to your eating habits.
We know how challenging this can be.
99.9% of the patients we see did not get to the weight they were before their operations because they were hungry!
We truly understand how and why some people 'use' food as a crutch and know that this has nothing to do with greed and gluttony.
Our Health educators and Dieticians actually do 'get' where you're coming from and are passionate about supporting you through your journey, understanding your needs, and getting you through those days when you really feel you can't cope on this roller coaster journey.

Building Descriptions
Queen's has 17 residence buildings – and they are all unique. Our oldest building – Ban Righ Hall, was built in 1925 – and our newest buildings – Brant and Smith -were built in 2015. That means each building is different in size, furnishings and layout – and that your room may not look at all like your neighbour's room.
We've provided some photos and videos to give you an idea of our room types, but please know that your specific room may not look like the examples. Rooms vary quite a bit in size and furnishings. Some rooms have carpets, while others do not. Window sizes, closets and other features change from room to room.
We update buildings through a planned maintenance schedule, so the photos and videos on this website may not show recent improvements right away. Please keep this in mind when viewing our building pages.

What to Know Before Selecting Your Home's Roof Material/
Our series on the pros and cons of various roof options can help you make an informed choice
By Matt Clawson / Courtesy of Houzz.com
The right roof material can do more than simply keep you dry and protect your home. It is the icing on the cake, and can augment, or even define, the style of your home. Today we summarize your home roof material options, providing an overview of a subject that might not get the same attention as other architectural home design aspects — but which, in my opinion, should.
What to Consider
Let's face it, a home without a roof is just four walls. The home seen here is being re-roofed, and the way we can tell is that new roofs are loaded, meaning the roof material is set on the roof before the final frame inspection.
If you're constructing a new home, the roof material type will be specified by your plan set, typically determined by your architect with your consultation. The color may or may not be determined at that point. The material type is important to specify early on because different roof material types have different weights, and loads are considered by engineers who take the roof weight into account before completing your home's structural calculations.
For remodels or re-roofing situations, there can be significant costs if your new roof material's weight is greater than the material being replaced.
There are advantages and disadvantages to the various roof material options, but there is one thing they all have in common: When properly designed and installed in the right circumstance, all the common materials reviewed in this article are up to the task and can properly do the job of protecting your home from the elements.
Cost is a significant consideration, and there is wide variation among the options available. The likely cost of each material type is noted in the individual elements of this series.
Design Style
Since all the material types are more or less capable of doing the job (some have benefits relating to different climates), the style of the various options becomes a key aspect that you and your architect should consider.
Certain roof materials are good historical matches for certain home styles. An authentic Tuscan home, for instance, will likely want an authentic clay roof tile, although a concrete roof tile can provide a similar look at a better value.
The photo here shows an authentic clay roof tile installation. While clay and concrete roofs can look similar, a trained eye can tell them apart, with the true clay roof tile providing a more authentic, old-world look that is difficult to replicate exactly.
There are more options available than ever, and choosing one might seem difficult when you begin to review all the possibilities. But by educating yourself on the choices, and understanding how to prioritize their characteristics, you can make a selection you feel confident in.
The home here has a concrete, S-shaped tile that provides a look similar to clay at less expense. Roof tiles are offered in flat styles or various rounded shapes.
Asphalt or 'composition' roofs. Composition asphalt is the most common roof material used in the United States. It's a relatively inexpensive option that's easy to install, and it's manufactured by many companies in a variety of colors and styles.
The type installed on the house seen here was an upgraded variety that goes very well with the lovely French Country home we recently constructed for one of our clients.
Concrete roof tiles. Concrete tiles offer characteristics similar (but not identical) to those of clay tiles. They are durable and can replicate the look of clay, slate and shake at significantly lower cost. The concrete roof tile seen here is a flat style.
Clay roof tiles. Clay is an ancient, premium roof material with an old-world feel. It's fragile and expensive, but it's the romantic ideal for many authentic home styles.
Slate roofs. The slate tile shown here is an authentic, durable roof material that offers a natural look that complements various home styles. Though costly, it offers natural beauty and long-lasting performance.
Wood shingles and shakes. This option is no longer the popular choice it once was, and it has a poorer fire rating than other materials. Still, many people like the historic look, and it's a material that's easy to work with. It also provides insulation value to the home.
Metal roofs. This photo shows a clean-lined, stylish option called a standing-seam metal roof. As with the other options, there are various manufacturers and colors available.
Metal roofs can work well with modern architectural styles and can give a current touch to some older styles as well. It's relatively costly, but it has high performance value.
Alternative roof materials. There are various alternative roof materials you might consider if your home is the type that can truly stand out from the crowd and make a statement. Many of these materials are environmentally conscious options, like the living roof shown here.
Solar. Don't forget solar. Solar panels have come down in price and can pay for themselves. If you're planning to install solar on your roof, think about how it will work with your material type and color. In the photo here, thin solar strips are attached to a standing-seam metal roof without creating an eyesore.

Today marks the first 11 portal of 2019; the 1/11 portal, a.k.a. the 111 portal. Each month has its own 11 portal, and I'll be highlighting them throughout this year.
What does the 111 portal mean?
It means that we're gifted with the presence of the 11 energy, combined with the energy of the month it falls within. What's the gift of the 11 energy?
The 11 energy is a spiritual marker. It denotes a shift in spirituality or a call to spirituality. It may deepen our spiritual awareness, or it may wake it up and us along with it.
The 111 portal is the fresh beginning. It is the essence of starting something new; of birthing; of creating. The energy of the 111 portal engages us with a call to action, which may be of a creative or productive nature. It's an active energy. It assists us to move through the sequence of events and actions necessary to produce or create what is ready to come forth.
Considering that information, and considering that this entryway is open today and will support us into February...
- How will you apply the 111 portal energy to your work and life?
- What is it that needs to receive your creativity now?
- What is it that needs to receive your productivity now?
These questions may help you hone in on what will best support your spiritual nature for the next month.
If you want to see how the energy of the 111 portal aligns with the angel number 111, you can view that here. If you want to see how it aligns with its "assignment" in the context of the 11s, you can view that here.
Blessings be.

Here's our Vogue Women Of The Year checklist
The Vogue team is gearing up for one of the biggest award ceremonies this year—the Vogue Women Of The Year awards. Amidst the banter about planning outfits to wear to the event, we asked staff members what they plan to carry in their handbags. Take your cues from the team if you are planning to attend a similar event. Here are all the answers!
Anaita Shroff Adajania, fashion director Party Smart, because it's going to be a fabulous night.
Jolie Wernette-Horn, creative director My cellphone, just so I can get a selfie with my favourite celebrity (whose name we can't give away just yet!).
Priyanka Khanna, associate fashion features director A piece of dark chocolate. I'll need the sugar rush to keep going!
Renuka Modi, managing editor Gel pads for your feet so you can run around in your heels with an added touch of comfort.
Divya Jagwani, bookings editor Battery pack, because you will have to talk to people before they come to the awards. Mint, because you will have to talk to people when they are there. Lipstick, because you need to look good when you talk to people. Perfume, because need to smell good when you talk to people.
Megha Mahindru, associate features editor Vitamin C to make sure the exhaustion does not catch up.
Nidhi Sharma Punjabi, beauty editor Chanel's Palette Essentielle—because the most glamorous night of the year deserves an equally glam clutch essential. This one lets you touch-up, add a sexy highlight and keeps your red hot pout going, from the awards to the after party.
Sneha Mankani, junior beauty editor A mini perfume vial that isn't too strong or heady. Got to leave a beautiful trail behind. My pick is Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt.
Priyanka Parkash, fashion coordinator and stylist A needle and thread, because you always want to be prepared for a wardrobe malfunction.
