A few of weeks ago I did a Friday 10 of my long-haul flight essentials. Another tricky part of packing a carry-on is meeting the 3-1-1 Rule when flying out of the US or Canada.
What's the 3-1-1 Rule? All carry-on liquids, gels, creams, pastes and aerosols must be:
- In a container that holds 3.4 ounces (100 mL) or less
- Put in 1 quart clear plastic bag
- One bag per traveler
It's not always easy to pare down, so I put together a list of easy essentials that will to get your through the flight.
I might be a little different in that I don't fully unpack my 3-1-1 bag when I arrive. There have been many times in my life I've been thankful to have something like a small deodorant or wet ones with me!
As you will see, I also pack the bag so I have access to enough basics to freshen up and put on some minimal makeup if my luggage is lost or it's too early to check in at the hotel. It just makes life easier.
#1 Travel Deodorant
Because I want to arrive at my destination smelling good. I usually just pick up whatever is available at Walmart or Target in the travel section, which is what's shown in the above photo.
However, my favorite natural deodorant company, Schmidt's, recently started selling travel sizes on their Etsy store. I might do a separate post on Schmidt's one day because I love their scents and it's the only natural deodorant that works for me. The biggest bonus is that it doesn't stain my white shirts since it doesn't contain aluminum.
Stick deodorants don't need to be in the TSA bag, but I put mine in there anyway just to keep everything together. Since Schmidt's is more of a cream, though, it would have to go into the bag anyway.
#2 Travel Toothpaste
I also carry a small toothbrush and travel-sized floss. I usually keep all of this in my purse after I land for those spinach-in-the-teeth moments.
#3 Hurraw! Lip Balm
Yep! I'm including this again (and probably again at a later date). Planes = dry air, dry lips, dry skin, etc. and Hurraw! is the only lip balm that doesn't irritate my lips. I carry at least two with me: one with SPF and one delicious smelling one without SPF. Prices vary. I usually pay under $4.00 CAD.
#4 Clinque Black Honey Almost Lipstick
This is such a wonderful product! It looks scary in the tube, but it has a cult following for its nearly universally flattering shade. It goes on sheer and is build-able. It adds that lovely, elusive "my lips but better" touch of color. The formula is moisturizing and feels fantastic on. It's one little thing that can help make you feel a little more put together after a long, tiring flight.
#5 Mascara
Having very blonde--almost invisible--eyelashes means I rarely leave the house without mascara on. Even if I put on some long-lasting, waterproof mascara for flights, I usually end up wanting to touch it up before we land. I stick to L'Oreal Voluminous ($7.29 USD) or Cover Girl Clump Crusher ($7.99 USD).
#6 Makeup Removing Cloths
I use these near the end of a long flight to freshen up and then apply the following sunscreen and moisturizer(s) before landing. I love Burts Bees Sensitive ($6.00 USD). Alternately, if there isn't much room in the bag, I will take a couple of dry Olay 4-in-1 Daily Facial Sensitive Cloths ($6.99 USD).
#7 Moisturizer(s)/Tinted Moisturizer
I love this NARS Perfectly Radiant Tinted Moisturizer. So much! It has a little more coverage than most tinted moisturizers, feels fantastic on, actually moisturizes, and has SPF 30. The only downside is the cost.
So as another option, I recommend a light moisturizer like Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Invisible Finish Moisture Gel under a broad spectrum sunscreen. It's soft, lightweight and doesn't leave me feeling greasy.
I also carry an unscented lotion for my hands.
#8 Sunscreen
Being very pale has made me something of a sunscreen expert. I believe everyone should wear sunscreen daily, especially on their faces, to protect their skin and keep it healthy.
Not a believer? Watch this video.
I'm currently using a broad spectrum, SPF 50, matte-finish Vichy with Mexoryl SX. La Roche Posay's Anthelios Ultra-fluid Lotion SPF 60 (with Mexoryl) is also nice. They are both around $25 here in Toronto, but I don't think products with Mexoryl are available in the US.
I'm less picky about what goes on the rest of my body, though. Sometimes I throw in a small travel-size sunscreen or sunscreen wipe if there's room. I worry less about this when going to Europe, especially France, because they have the good stuff when it comes to suncreens.
#9 Hand Sanitizer
Any kind will do. I try to get unscented ones out of respect for the other people I'm packed into a metal tube with for hours on end. Not everyone likes the smell of juniper berry bliss or whatever.
#10 Wet Ones Antibacterial
For gross tray tables, gross hands, gross anything that you might encounter on the plane or anytime afterward (I'm looking at you, public washrooms). I usually find the thin travel packs for about a dollar at the drugstore/Walmart/Target.
That's it for my essentials. If there's room leftover in the bag, I might toss in some extra stuff from time to time like a small travel-sized perfume (like these La Vanila ones).
There are some reusable 3-1-1 bags on the market, like this one at REI or this one on Amazon. I think $5 is a little steep for a plastic bag. I just us a Ziploc freezer bag. They've never let me down, and I like being able to replace them easily.
I'd love to hear what you put in your 3-1-1 bag!
Hope you have a great weekend!
*Always check the rules and regulations of your departure country before your flight, just in case something has changed recently.

Title: All The Crooked Saints
Author: Maggie Stiefvater
Publisher: Scholastic Press
Release Date: October 10th 2017
Pages: 311
Genre(s): Young Adult, Fantasy
Purchase: The Book Depository
Here is a thing everyone wants: a miracle.
Here is a thing everyone fears: what it takes to get one.
Any visitor to Bicho Raro, Colorado is likely to find a landscape of dark saints, forbidden love, scientific dreams, miracle-mad owls, estranged affections, one or two orphans, and a sky full of watchful desert stars.
At the heart of this place you will find the Soria family, who all have the ability to perform unusual miracles. And at the heart of this family are three cousins longing to change its future: Beatriz, the girl without feelings, who wants only to be free to examine her thoughts; Daniel, the Saint of Bicho Raro, who performs miracles for everyone but himself; and Joaquin, who spends his nights running a renegade radio station under the name Diablo Diablo.
They are all looking for a miracle. But the miracles of Bicho Raro are never quite what you expect
The Raven Cycle was by far my favorite book series of 2017, so I felt really eager to read another book by Maggie Stiefvater. However, All the Crooked Saints didn't quite live up to the expectations.
The basic premise of the book with its miracles really had my interests peaked. I liked the idea of miracles happening in twos, where the receiver of the miracle is required to actively complete the miracle. The philosophical aspect of that got me intrigued and I enjoyed reading about how the miracles manifested themselves and how individuals struggled to come to terms with certain things in order to perform the second miracle. Unfortunately, a book cannot thrive on this alone and there were many aspects surrounding the book that didn't really sit well with me.
For one, the pacing felt really off throughout the book. The story moves incredibly slow and nothing really happens. There are too many subplots that don't really contribute all that much to the general plot. And when the pace finally picks up towards the end of the book, it makes for a rushed ending.
In addition, the story contains too many characters in my opinion. Not only do they come across as rather two-dimensional and flat – as there aren't enough pages in the book to offer them more – I also couldn't relate to them at all. They were too quirky and odd for my taste, their fears and ambitions hardly identifiable.
I usually enjoy Stiefvater's writing style a lot. This was still the case while reading this book, in the sense that her descriptions transported me to the time and place. At the same time though, the weirdness and quirkiness felt like an overkill. I don't know if this was also the case with The Raven Cycle and I just never noticed, but so many sentences in All The Crooked Saints just don't make sense at all and it's distracting.
So to sum it up, while the premise is good, the execution is less so because of bad pacing, too many characters and an overkill in weirdness. I'm sorry to say that I didn't really like All The Crooked Saints, but I will definitely check out future books by Maggie Stiefvater.

— The Diva jewellery and replica watches collection carries all the design codes referencing the history of Bulgari.
A nod to the famous Roman mosaics and the iconic fan-shaped motifs of the Caracalla thermal baths, Diva embodies a collection with a distinctive character. Inspired by the diversity of modern-day beauties, Bulgari has created a collection of watches that evokes the personality and the history of women, at once unique and universal.
Born from the Italian jeweller's passion for coloured stones, Diva watches reflect the iconic Bulgari rainbow, an arch composed of multi-coloured gems nestling together like petals and creating an authentic corolla of precious stones dancing around a gem-set bezel. These sensual and elegant creations embody the fascination and the mysterious attraction exercised by stones, combining the depth of precious gems with the intensity of their semi-precious counterparts. These stunning goldsmithing feats testify to the expertise and the jewellery-making savoir-faire fostered by the Maison and echo its famous 1960s floral brooches with their spring-mounted mobile flowers. Playing on a subtly musical theme, Bulgari perfects the art of en tremblant setting, since each of the small fans and stones composing the corolla of the fake watches for sale is delicately assembled, set and adjusted in such a way as to gently quiver in step with the wearer's every move.
In 2015, the collection welcomes four new creations that will be available from autumn in Bulgari boutiques and in its exclusive retailers.
In the two new High Jewellery versions, the pink gold interpretation is adorned with the warm shades of coral as well as the timeless hues of onyx and diamonds. Its corolla composed of eight coral-set fans and eight onyx-set fans is punctuated by two rows of eight claw-set round diamonds totalling almost 3.5 carats. The bracelet consists of a succession of fans instilling the model with a resolutely Art Deco cuff-watch spirit.
The other version offers a variety of baguette, brilliant, round and buff-top cuts set with diamonds and emeralds on white gold– an aesthetic evoking the DIVA High Jewellery Emeralds watch that won the "Jewellery Fake Rolex Watches" prize in last year's Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève, an accolade rewarding the 130 years of creativity cultivated by the Rome-based jeweller.
The Jewellery version comes in the form of two new models fitted with a refined satin strap. Its gemstone rainbow combines the fruity colours of mandarin garnets, tourmalines and opals, or the heavenly hues of tanzanites and turquoises.

Here we have a 1970 911T 2.2 that has been modified and styled with inspiration from the West Coast, USA 'R Gruppe Hotrod' scene
Originally delivered in Los Angeles, USA in July 1970, this lively little car boasts a 2.2 litre engine with 125bhp.
UK registered and benefits from 12 months MOT
We sell the vehicle on behalf of our client that was working through the car to prepare it just as they wanted, but due to an overseas contract, the owner will be away for some years and unable to enjoy their creation.
Tech 9 have prepared the vehicle mechanically, and it drives very well. No hesitation of flat spots in the carburation, the gearbox shifts without baulking and the brakes feel strong. It passed through the recent MOT test without fault, and is very enjoyable to drive. The aural noise from the 2.2 litre engine at speed is a joy.
The original colour of the car is Black, and the chassis is in very good overall condition. The original FUCHS Deep 6×15 alloy wheels are present.
The interior is largely original, original dash that is free from the usual cracking faults, original seats and fresh correct carpet material give a nice ambience to the interior. A Momo steering wheel is fitted, in keeping with the R Gruppe theme
There are a few jobs remaining to complete the car cosmetically, there are a couple of very minor oil leaks on the engine, and the Interior door pockets require replacement, and some seventies rear speaker pods that should be thrown as far as possible !. We would be happy to agree any extra work as part of the sales price. This is not a car fully prepared for retail by Tech 9, we are selling on behalf of our client, and will document all jobs required to finish as part of the sale

Kyoto protocol is a universal treaty which connects the United Nations Frame work conventions in Climate Change. The main goal of this protocol is cutting the green house gases emissions in thirty seven developed European countries. Kyoto protocol was formed by Japan in December 11, 1997 and made to be strict in February 16, 2005. The President of Barak Obama has called sixteen large economic nations to Washington for a forum on Climate change to remind the responsibilities to them according to the Kyoto protocol, which will be held at the end of this April. The focus in this meeting will be about cutting the emissions of green house gases and providing clean energy before the Kyoto protocol expires in 2012. Moreover, there will be another forum in Germany on this case, and 190 nations are going to participate in that forum. There will some agreements be formed on limiting carbon dioxide emissions after 2012. It seems like all nations have realized that we should do something for alleviating global warming. However, making it into reality is the most important role of all nations and there should be more protocols formed like Kyoto, so that the earth will be not vulnerable to extinction.

Better to headline today's blog with the hopeful words of Musa Kart than the more pragmatic words of HL Mencken:
(T)he whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.
Not that Kart doesn't know this, I'm sure. Kart and his colleagues were arrested as part of Recep Tayyip Erdogan's crackdown on an attempted coup in which he seems, at the least, to have exaggerated the breadth of the plot in order to justify casting a wide net over all who have raised objections to his rule.
A rule which, whatever the facts of the coup may have been, had already begun to limit human rights and move Turkey away from its strictly secular governmental system, even as it was attempting, somewhat paradoxically at that stage, to gain admittance to the European Union.
Musa Kart seems to be one of those fellows who has a clear vision of justice and fairness and who is only unpleasant out of a sense of necessity.
Even then, he seems to express more hope than fury in his refusal to knuckle under.
Kart was recently sentenced to three years and nine months in jail as part of Erdogan's silencing of the opposition paper, Cumhuriyet, for which he draws and, while he is free pending appeal, he is not permitted to leave the country, thus missing the chance to accept the 2018 International Press Cartoon Prize in Geneva on World Press Freedom Day last week.
His courage is not confined to his pen. This video could easily be the most uplifting five minutes of your week. Maybe month.
The day also served as the occasion to announce the winners of Cartoon Movement's "Art of Resistance" contest, which attracted 1781 entries from around the world.
This piece, by China's Liu Qiang, is one of many honorable mentions in a very long display of cartoons at that site.
Meanwhile, the American Association of Editorial Cartoonists is among several press groups to express concern for and solidarity with Musa Kart, but their statement contains an element you wouldn't have found a short time ago:
In normal times it would be unthinkable that American journalists and satirists would fear for their freedom. These are not normal times. The current occupant of the White House has repeatedly attacked the press, even reviving the Stalinist phrase "enemy of the people" to describe us, all while encouraging violence against his opponents. It's no longer unthinkable that one who irritates the leading political figure in America won't be made to pay a price.
The dark path Turkey has taken is one that we in the United States must guard against.
I don't think we're under any danger of cartoonists being thrown into prison for their views, but the wider concern is not misplaced.
Commercial pressure can silence voices as effectively as police action, and, meanwhile, as Tom Tomorrow notes, we have a leadership in which "truth" has become bizarrely subjective, in a nation in which accusing the president's press secretary of lying is denounced as an attack on her physical appearance.
And although people keep citing Orwell's "1984," I think "Animal Farm" is more apt, since the former posits a well-constructed system of intrusive government, while the latter simply suggests that a small group of (literally) fascist pigs could gain power by just rewriting the truth and counting on foolish animals not to notice.
Or, to quote Mencken again,
The demagogue is one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots.
Thus "Four legs good, two legs bad" becomes "Four legs good, two legs better," and anyone who notices the change is denounced as foolish and a threat to the community.
And the collapse of their windmill is blamed not on poor planning but on sabotage by the former leader.
We don't have to wait for it to happen.
It's here, and we're part of it.
This Clay Jones cartoon is a few days old, and I have already discussed how Benyamin Netanyahu brought an outdated PowerPoint presentation to Washington, in which he "revealed" a number of issues that were already well-known and which had factored into the Iran Agreement.
An agreement, I would note, that chickenhawks continue to portray as between Obama and the ayatollahs, when, in fact, it was negotiated by Iran's political leadership and the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, France, China and Germany.
In fact, at one point, the Iranian negotiators raised an objection to being depicted as blindly religious medievalists in turbans, noting that they dressed in Western garb and were nearly all educated in the United States.
It's one thing to depict "Uncle Sam" talking to a "turbaned Iran" in a cartoon, but quite another to depict a specific American leader talking to what is clearly intended to be a backward religious zealot.
More to the immediate point: I don't intend to go against this site's Prime Directive, but, were I to do so, I could show several contemporary cartoons in which a conservative cartoonist claims that the Iranians have developed a nuclear weapon in defiance of the pact.
Granted, it would be, if naive, within reasonable commentary to echo Netanyahu's outdated accusations.
But even he, as deceptively and deliberately out of context and self-serving as his presentation was, did not go that far.
Which leaves the question, are these cartoonists deliberately lying, or cataclysmically stupid, or simply too lazy to Google the basic facts behind the rantings of rightwing talkradio hosts?
Or are they honestly convinced that we have too many young people in this country and need to cull another four or five thousand as we did in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Whatever the answer, we'd be foolish to worry about dungeons and torture when we're fully capable of doing the damage to ourselves, ourselves.
Hang on. Here we go again.

Today's New Store Spotlight: Picklee on Spring
May 15, 2013 at 9:21 am 7 comments
This cozy shop caddy-corner from famed St. Mary's Church on Spring Street in instantly inviting with mint-green trimmed windows and fun furniture finds inside. Mother-daughter duo Jordan Crompton and Lisa Kasap share a passion for finding tired pieces—tables, chairs, mirrors, chests, buffets, mirrors—that just need that dose of TLC to make them the star of the room. The super-DIYers recycle and reinvent constantly, sourcing finds everywhere from garage sales to roadside rejects to antique shops and flea markets.
The shop on Spring Street was the companion step to Jordan's popular design blog, Picklee.com, where she takes found trash to make it treasure. "People don't realize, you don't need a million dollars to have a dream house,"Jordan told me for a feature I did on her home for the May issue of The Bay magazine (click here to read and see inside Jordan's home). You can also find chic pillows, lighting, artwork and home décor accessories inside the shop.
They duo are hosting a workshop, "The Art of Furniture Painting: 101"on May 23. To see more pieces or shop online, visit pickleeonspring.com

I have to check this out on my walk
I love the pieces!!! So antique looking!
LOVE the chevron! I will have to check this store out this summer- I love new old pieces!
This sounds absolutely perfect. I'm renovating and changing up some antiques and old "used" furniture and decor in my new old home and I'll definitely be stopping in. There's nothing more exciting than beautiful "tired pieces" renewed! Thank you so much for sharing…
I can't wait to return home for summer and check this place out. We just bought a new house so I can see myself buying at least one thing! Thanks for sharing!

A.D.O. has won the Honorable Mention for the Project Crowd of Cloud at International Architecture Awards 2018 hosted by Architecture Podium with the idea of acknowledging the works of professionals and students of architecture. IAA is an all exclusive design competition, analysing and comparing the conceptual and built works of professionals. The competition received a total of 586 Registrations from across the globe. Architecture Podium has gained a Big name among the Architecture Awards Internationally with Winners from renowned Studios like Aedas, TerreformOne, Rockwell Group, Pepe Gascon Arquitectura, Morphogenesis, Dada & Partners, Nadaaa, XTEN Architecture, Mecanoo, ABIBOO Architecture and many more from across the globe.
Original Article: Architecture Podium
About the project:
I developed a quasi-architectural open-ended system that can be put to practical use and be expanded in many different places by anyone. How to deal with the rise of vacant houses and vacant land, has become a pressing issue in recent years in Japan.
Within the current shrinking society, upholding these spaces is becoming increasingly difficult, with an unavoidable decline in people's activities and sense of abode. In other words, an increased autonomic embodiment of one's own abode for living is naturally becoming increasingly necessary. Based on these assumptions, this projects was initiated as a much needed space making method for creating and upholding space by our own hands. The parts of this quasi-architecture are composed of aluminium film and helium gas.
The tool-free assembly can be done by anyone, due to the handy size of each part. They are brought together by everyone and connected to float like a roof or a room. The construction by hand creates a flexible temporary public space that grows and shrinks according to our own participation.
This projects started at restaurants, galleries, stations, public facilities etc. throughout Japan. Quasi-architecture were made, used and maintained by the hands of people around them. Quasi-architecture that appeared in various environments gently formed a space in each form and continued trembling variously while reflecting the environment. It becomed a trigger to recognize the unique environment that exists anywhere and reaffirm its location.

(Okay, imagine my voice getting really high).....aren't they CUUUUUUUTE?!?! These sweet baby girls are identical twins and two of the sweetest most precious little girls I have ever seen. I loved, loved, loved their bows and ruffle butts that mom brought. I was especially pleased that they matched my new dot blanket/background! I'll give away one of my priceless photographer secrets...the blanket was $6.99 at Ross. Hehe.
Enjoy the cuteness overload! For being born at just 4lbs a piece they sure have plumped up quickly. I love nothing more than sweet baby chub!

Job Syndrome, also known as Autosomal Dominant Hyperimmunoglobulin E Syndrome (AD-HIES), is a rare multisystem immunodeficiency disorder that is found in both males and females across the world. Dominant genetic disorders occur when one copy of an abnormal gene is present. It can be inherited from either parent or the result of a new genetic mutation, in this case, a mutation of the STAT3 gene, which is encoded on chromosome 17q21.
The most common mutations reported in people with this disease, which was first discovered in 1966 in two red-haired girls, are dominant-negative missense mutations in the Src homology 2 (SH2) and DNA-binding domain (DBD) regions of STAT3.
Because patients who have this rare disease often acquire recurrent staphylococcal abscesses, often appearing cold rather than the reddened, inflamed condition of regular abscesses, scientists gave it the name "Job Syndrome." The initial reference to the condition comes from the story of the biblical character Job, who Satan struck with loathsome boils.
Patients who exhibit the characteristics of Job Syndrome have partial STAT3 deficiency that is responsible for the body's many cellular functions, including cell growth and division, cell movement and the self-destruction of cells.
The term Hyperimmunoglobulin E, Recurrent Infection Syndrome (HIES) is often mentioned in medical research materials because of its association with an increase in the serum levels of the antibody immunoglobulin E (IgE). In the case of patients with Job Syndrome, the anti-body is present at a level greater than 2,000 IU/ml.
In a normal functioning immune system, STAT3 plays an important role in the development and function of several body systems, including bone development. It transmits signals that help the body's system cells mature, especially T cells and B cells, which help control its response to foreign invaders like bacteria and fungi. It is also involved in the regulation of inflammation within the body.
STAT3 is important to the process of cellular differentiation, turning the body's naïve T cells into Th17 cells, which help it respond to fungal and bacterial infections.
In patients with Job Syndrome, defects in the Janus-active Kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription signaling (JAK-STAT) ultimately leads to impaired T helper cell type 17 differentiation and function. In other words, the Th17 cells in patients with Job Syndrome are significantly reduced. That explains the multisystem defects that are common to this disorder.

Does your evening routine involve a quick cleanse of the face with a wipe to remove the day's makeup, a snack because you were too tired to cook a proper meal and you're now hungry, checking your Instagram feed one last time or shutting down your laptop as you reluctantly resist watching one last episode of your new Netflix obsession? Hmmm - how's that working for you? We all know this kind of behaviour isn't great for our sleep patterns but it's hard to switch off and let go in our busy, modern world. Experts call this kind of behaviour "bad sleep hygiene" and we easily fall into these habits when we dismiss the importance of letting our body unwind ready for sleep. If you experience difficulties falling asleep, toss and turn throughout the night and wake up feeling groggy, this blog might be just the inspiration you need to bring a calming close to your day, restore your energy levels and get your wellness back on your track.
Personally, I've always been a morning person and function best if I wake up early to practice self-care, workout and organise my day and the house. However, for this to happen successfully I need to be able to go to bed at a reasonable hour and sleep well.
A while back, this all went out of the window. For a period of about a month, I went from hitting the yoga mat to hitting the snooze button – I was still getting up early enough to do what had to be done (kids dressed, dishwasher unloaded etc etc) but nothing extra and nothing for me. My mornings had become rushed, stressful and unproductive. My evenings were just as bad, spent busy catching up on chores, working on the laptop, scrolling my phone, trying to squeeze in a workout or yoga flow and mindlessly watching something I really wasn't that interested in with a glass of wine I wasn't even enjoying. My sleep suffered as a result and the whole thing escalated into a cycle of poor sleep, slow mornings, packed over-long evenings.
Keen to reclaim my healthy mornings, I decided enough was enough and I created a plan that would restore balance to my day. I knew I needed more relaxation in the evenings so I could get the sleep required for my favourite early starts. I call this approach 'bookending my day with wellness rituals' and it's a simple technique you can use whenever you need to shift the focus back on to yourself and your wellbeing. Basically, it means prioritizing your wellness needs first thing when you get up to supercharge your energy levels and again at the close of the day to help you unwind. It sets the right tone for a healthy day to follow, encourages a good night's sleep and is more likely to result in you waking up refreshed and ready for the new day. It's a circle of wellness, which keeps turning and feeding back into your healthy intentions rather than a cycle of propping yourself up with coffee in the mornings to wake up and alcohol in the evenings to unwind.
I personally experienced so much success with my bookend approach, that I wrote a two-part blog to share with you, this being the second part. You can read the first part 3 Healthy Habits to Supercharge Your Mornings. Even though we're well into the school holidays and I have the added challenge - as all working mums do of juggling work, childcare, play date planning, holiday packing etc – I am still managing to fit in my morning self-care and wind down my evenings. I can honestly say I feel amazing – both physically and mentally, not something I can normally claim at this point of the summer!
So how does this all work when you're tired from a busy day at work or you just want to collapse after you've finally got the kids to bed? First of all, you need to decide what time you want to wake up, work back 7-8 hours and then set yourself a sleep-prep window of a minimum of 30 minutes, an ideal of 60 minutes. Say, I want to get up at 6am, I need 8 hours of sleep, so I go to bed at 10pm and start my bedtime wind-down at around 9.15pm. I know that sounds super early to a lot of you, but trust me it works. Your routine will look different to mine. For example, you may want to get up at 7am and you need 7 hours of sleep, so you go to bed at 12 and maybe, you feel you could spend 30 minutes on your sleep-prep. You can play around with the timings to see what works for you – everybody is unique so there is not ideal bedtime, the important thing is to do the all natural, holistic wind down routine so you are calm and sleep-ready.
Research shows if we practice "good sleep hygiene", or more simply put incorporate relaxing, quiet activities into our evening routine we are more likely to fall asleep quicker and get better quality sleep. This can be anything from going to bed around the same time every night to investing in cool, cotton sheets, opening the windows to let cool air circulate, putting all devices aside, using aromatherapy, cleansing your face with nourishing oils, giving yourself a foot rub and learning some relaxing breathing techniques.
Okay, so now you know the thinking behind the plan, you can do the fun bit which is picking and mixing from the wind-down list below. Just think of it as your grown-up equivalent to the sleep routines we lovingly create to help our children calm down for bed. Try to incorporate at least two or three of these rituals below into your routine every evening.
Good luck & hope you find the tips helpful
Love & light, Lucy x
Non-negotiables for real success
- No screens half an hour to an hour before bedtime
- No caffeine after 2pm
- If you do drink alcohol, drink at least a big glass of water to counterbalance every unit drank
- No heavy or spicy food after 7pm
- If your bedroom also doubles as a home office - can you store away your work equipment so it's not such an obvious presence
Pick and mix list close of day rituals
- Spend ten minutes or more in quiet meditation to calm your mind
- Note down what you have been grateful for in a journal – it's also a wonderful resource to look back on when you're having a bad day
- Give yourself an aromatherapy foot rub – a couple of drops of Lavender essential oil mixed into a body butter is one the best ways I know to help you unwind
- Spritz your bed, your room, your pillows, anything around in fact, with a pillow mist. I personally love the one from Neal's Yard
- Brush your hair to stimulate your scalp or give yourself a head massage
- Bathe in a deep, oily bath scented with sleep-inducing drops of Vetiver, Lavender and Ylang Ylang.
- Practice pranayama – experiment with different breathing techniques such as the calming 4-7-8 pattern. Exhale completely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound. Then, close your mouth and inhale quietly through your nose to a mental count of four. Next, hold your breath for a count of seven. Finally, exhale completely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound to a count of eight. This is one cycle. Repeat three or four times.
- Do some slow, deliberate and deep foam rolling
- Enjoy some restorative yoga poses such as Legs Up the Wall, Pigeon, Butterfly and Child's Pose
- Give yourself a gorgeous face massage with a nourishing aromatherapy facial oil

"The ruined city lies desolate; the entrance to every house is barred. " NIV translation
The "ruined city" speaks of Jerusalem and the fact that it is worthless. What is meant by calling the city of God worthless? Even God's own city and its people have rejected their Messiah and because of that fact they are no longer of use to Him. Every house is barred speaks of the fact that all of the people (or a very great majority) have surrendered to the deception of the devil. The city of Jerusalem was set aside by God to be a shining example of His presence in the world but, by rejecting the grace of Jesus Christ, it can no longer serve that purpose.
God's people have been removed from the earth and so the joy has turned to sorrow and gloom. This speaks of what is commonly called the "rapture" or the calling up of Christians to be with the Lord and escape this judgment.
The physical Old City of Jerusalem has many gates but, here, Isaiah speaks of only one gate. The gate being "battered to pieces" speaks of the rejection of the fact that Jesus is the Son of God and the payment for our sins. Jesus told the disciples that He was the only way and men have rejected Him as the gate.
"In the streets they cry out for wine; all joy turns to gloom, all joyful sounds are banished from the earth. The city is left in ruins, its gate is battered to pieces." NIV translation
At this time, the misery will become so great that people will cry out for alcohol and drugs to help them to escape the world around them.
"So will it be on the earth and among the nations, as when an olive tree is beaten, or as when gleanings are left after a grape harvest." NIV translation
This verse speaks of the remnant of Christians that is left behind and is what John saw as the 144,000 of Revelation 7. Throughout the Bible, the olive and the olive tree speak of righteousness and are a picture of the righteousness obtained through faith in Jesus Christ. The "gleanings" speak of the fact that not all of the fruit is taken at this first harvest.

In October of 2010 I was engaged after only three weeks of dating. I was scared to tell my family but I was terrified to tell my father. My parents divorced when I was five and I couldn't spend weekends at Dad's because he lived thousands of miles away. I saved him for last and decided to take the cowardly way out by emailing him.
It was not the best decision I've ever made. Not only did it infuriate and hurt him, it ended up producing a phone call that would alter my life forever. It was a call filled with horrible words that left me in tears and him hanging up on me. I've managed to erase most of the words from my head but not how devastating they felt.
Six months later we were married in a private ceremony on a beach in Jamaica. After we got back I was still bothered by the fight I had with my father, but I tried to push it to the back of my mind.
Shortly after, my father began reaching out to me through emails and voicemail. He wanted to meet my new husband and see me. Through email, things became pleasant and we made plans to come visit him in Florida that August. Continue reading.

Mamma Mia!
I have not seen the stage show, but I watched a 'Making of' style show on ITV last night. I've never been an Abba fanatic, but the sheer joy in the songs made me smile. As did the bodies and sheer joyfulness of the cast. Most of the women involved are presented as normal shaped and oversized, Meryl Streep doesn't look like a stick. The film looks like it will be adorable. Unfortunately I can't find the clip of Julie Walters singing Take a Chance on me, or the massive Dancing Queen ensemble.

The formation of 2D polyaniline (PANI) has attracted considerable interest due to its expected electronic and optoelectronic properties. Although PANI was discovered over 150 years ago, obtaining an atomically well-defined 2D PANI framework has been a longstanding challenge, until now.
An international team of researchers, affiliated with UNIST has recently announced that they have successfully demonstrated the atomic-level true 2D PANI structure, for the first time, via direct solid-state reaction of organic single crystals.
The findings appear online in PNAS Early Edition, co-authored by Javeed Mahmood (Postdoc, School of Energy and Chemical Engineering) and Eun Kwang Lee (Ph.D, School of Energy and Chemical Engineering) of UNIST. It also has been co-organized by Prof. Jong-Beom Baek (School of Energy and Chemical Engineering, UNIST), Prof. Myoung Soo Lah (School of Natural Science, UNIST), Prof. Noejung Park (School of Natural Science, UNIST), Prof. Hyung-Joon Shin (School of Materials Science and Engineering, UNIST), and Prof. Joon Hak Oh (School of Chemical Engineering, POSTECH).
According to the research team, "This synthetic methodology could serve as a straightforward way for the design and synthesis of other new 2D layered materials with many potential applications."
In the study, the team demonstrated a new synthetic protocol for 2D PANI, which can be produced by direct pyrolysis of organic HAB single crystals and has an empirical formula of C3N (three sp2 C atoms sharing a tertiary N) at basal area.
"The structure of 2D PANI is quite is similar to graphene," says Prof. Baek. "However, because it contains uniformly distributed nitrogen atoms for multifunctionality, we expect that 2D PANI has strong potential, from wet chemistry to device applications, beyond graphene and its linear analog."
This work has been supported by the Creative Research Initiative, BK21 Plus, and Mid-Career Researcher programs through the National Research Foundation of Korea.

When I was in Miami everyone drank frosty alcoholic drinks
While home again this weekend becoming enchanted by florists and caterers (seriously - enchanted. I want these people to move into my house and greet me every morning with a fresh bouquet and espresso station) I became very intrigued by my mother's shiny blue-covered South Beach diet book, which she now swears by. I've always had it out for that kind of diet, proclaiming that the only way you'll ever get anywhere with weight loss is moderation and exercise. I still believe that but alas, lately, can't practice it, so I decided that the South Beach diet was going to work like magic for me. You know, get rid of the slight poundage I believe I've gained since J and I started nesting and kick-start me into high gear. I used to know how to be healthy! South Beach will help me learn again. Now before you even get started on the "you don't need to go on a diet crusade" let me say this: I know what it means when it takes me more than five minutes to get my pants (that just fit me the other week, I swear!) on. Enough said.
Anyway, it's going pretty well so far with one exception and that's the thing about these diets - you can't do certain things. Like, um, drink beer. Ok, ok. I'll get by without that one at least for a while. I need to cut down on that anyway. Who needs a wretched headache and a gut? Not me. But in the first two weeks of this diet you don't touch alcohol or sugar or bread or anything, and the annoying part is - sure, I can do this. But only if I live in a sheltered world with only myself. At the first invitation to have dinner or a drink, I'm finding it really difficult to say "No. I'm on South Beach." Because that seems like a thing a loser said. I'm no loser. I just want to be slim for bathing suit season.
My solution is to put myself on the best version of that diet that I can manage. And really, I think I'm doing an excellent job. Will it work? I'll tell you this - it will work more than the cheese and crackers at midnight diet or the search the pantry in a frenzy looking for chocolate diet. It will work better than those.

Will fonia become the new quinoa?
Back in June 2014 I wrote an article entitled "Wanted: Quinoa". I stated that quinoa's marketing success might be a good example for other indigenous grains from developing worlds to follow, such as the grain fonio. And here we are. March 2015, Canada, Vancouver's Whole Foods Market: I bought my first food store chain marketed package of fonio. It wasn't cheap, priced at CAD $8.99 per 300 g, but I bought it anyway, having little idea on how to use it. I bought it in the hope that many others who recently meticulously packed their shopping baskets with quinoa will also try this West African novelty. But before I started to cook with fonio, I decided to look for answers to a few questions: Why would one be willing to purchase fonio instead of quinoa? What differentiates fonio from quinoa? Can fonio become as successful in the Western world markets as quinoa has?
What is fonio?
White fonio (Latin: Digitaria exiles), commonly known as "hungry rice", is considered to be the oldest cereal in Africa, named by people from Mali as the "germ of the world". It is recognized as the world's fastest growing grain, reaching full maturity in 6-8 weeks. Fonio's biochemical composition can be compared with other cereals like rice, maize, wheat, or millet, however fonio is much richer in sulphuric amino acids: methionine and cystine. What is important is that, like quinoa, fonio is gluten free. This fact likely makes it a good candidate for future success stories, because at the moment many people living in developed countries consider themselves to be "gluten free". They either have real or imaginary problems with gluten digestion. In both cases it is good news for fonio's marketing potential, at least in the gluten free segment of cereal consumers. Both quinoa and fonio belong to the group of old cereals (or rather pseudo cereals as some claim) that were domesticated as early as 7000 years ago.
A short video by National Geographic about the role of fonio in West Africa can be seen here.
As plants, both quinoa and fonio have rather low requirements. Quinoa, depending on its type, grows mainly in the Altiplanos and Jungas of Bolivia and Peru. Fonio grows in tropical climates and much like quinoa it flourishes in rather poor, sandy soils. Additionally, both cereals have low water requirements. This is an important fact, especially from a farmer's point of view. The main problem with fonio seems to be associated with its labour-intensive threshing: it is very small and consequently, it is hard to husk. Fortunately, in the future as demand for fonio in developed countries increases, technology might be able to facilitate this highly manual husking process.
White fonio is cultivated in Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Nigeria, and Benin. It is considered as one of the best tasting cereals in Africa. A West African saying claims that "fonio never embarrasses the cook". This fact gives it an advantage over quinoa, as quinoa is frequently blamed for its mildly bitter taste caused by the saponin layer covering the grain. Both fonio and quinoa cook rather quickly, but because fonio's grain size is smaller than quinoa's it cooks faster. So here fonio can potentially have another advantage over quinoa.
Fonio's current average productivity is about 800kg/Ha. The total world production and area harvested of fonio between 2000 and 2013 according to FAOSTAT can be seen on the two graphs below. For comparison, total worldwide harvested area and production of quoina is also presented.

Good Hotel Guide Review
'Definitely one to go back to.' This 'super hotel', housed in a 16th-century priory on the River Frome, continues to gather fans. New visitors give it 'top marks for its very attractive setting and buildings'. They join returning guests in praising the 'excellent service, lovely ambience in its stylish public rooms and delightful gardens'. Afternoon tea is taken in the drawing room or, in clement weather, on the river terrace with commanding views of the Purbeck hills, while the cosy Cloisters bar serves pre-dinner cocktails. 'Comfortable' rooms, in the main house and converted boathouse, are each different, but all have fresh fruit, a minibar, things to read. 'The Boathouse's spacious Kingfisher suite was so comfortable and quiet, with river views from a balcony. The bathroom was sleek and warm.' In the new wood-and-glass dining room, Stephan Guinebault's modern French-inspired English dishes were 'well cooked, well presented and amply portioned (although the only vegetarian option didn't change)'. Breakfast is 'great': eggs 'just right', 'delicious' porridge. (Philippa Parker, Max Lickfold, and others)

The Coming Revolution: The Healthcare Challenge
Main Article Content
The United States spends nearly 17% of its gross domestic product on healthcare,1 almost double that of any other industrialized country,2 and achieves worse outcomes by many measures.3 The U.S. may have the most healthcare in the world, but we do not have the best healthcare. Today, Healthcare in the U.S. is a poor value. If we are going to remain competitive in the world economy, we must deliver the right care in the right setting at the right time at the right cost.

Get up, get dressed, and Laugh at the Days to Come
Hi you,
Couldn't figure out what to wear this morning, eh? It's been a rough week/month/year/s and you're considering staying in pajamas all day or, if you have a job and have to, wear whatever takes least effort.
We've all been there. No one is going to see me so it doesn't matter, and plus, the inside is more important anyway, right? But what if the inside is falling apart? What about when you're in the middle of a tricky or downright hellish season in life and it's hard to care? The first thing that we usually want to skip is our appearance. But it's the last thing we should neglect.
Surviving while Prepping for Thriving
Human minds have a wonderful way of flipping the coin to expose another side, while conveniently forgetting that it is still the same coin. It's still you with the messy bun and leggings, and it's still you on date night with the lovely makeup and LBD. Each is as real as the other. You are a multi-faceted human being. You will experience many things. We feel like hell inside sometimes, and the difficulty is making little choices in that time when all we want to do is lie in the mud.
You can't stake your identity there. It may be something that is happening to you, but it isn't YOU. If you believe that you are what is happening to you, then may Heaven grant you much mercy because the misery will never end.
This. This is why I'm passionate about making the effort to take care of yourself. In difficult or good times of life it is of vast important to get up, get dressed, and laugh at the days to come. Solomon never once said to do this because that's how you feel, he just said that a woman clothed in strength and dignity does this. She chooses to be strong. I've mentioned this recently but I loved a quote from a mom of 8 kids, a TV host, and author who said "I just do it with all the strength in the world and it works out."
She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she is beautiful.
Here is my challenge to you, whether life is easy or hard right now. Carve out a little time every morning, five minutes if that's what you can get, and do something that makes you feel alive and lovely. Perhaps for you it is to shower, to style your hair, or wear a touch of blush and lipstick, or to manicure your nails. Whatever it is don't compromise. Little things are very important.
Because who you are is different from where you are, and taking time for the little moments of self-care will help you to realize the truth that the difficult times will pass and you will come out on top: strong and laughing.
For a good read on how to discover personal style and make it your own. Building my closet with pieces I love has also gone a long way to helping me get dressed on bad days. Highly recommended read from L. Raine.

Sleep: I try to sleep on my left side, but I continue to toss and turn throughout the night. Liam kicks me if I am on my back.

Miss Anything: My existing wardrobe! I'm very limited at this point. I also miss wine and I desperately crave margaritas. Never have before, but for some reason these are on my mind.

THANK YOU! Everyone has a unique story!
You just can't make this stuff up -- These comments are great!
*** From: "Happy Toes: -- A week ago, I ordered 2 X-Large support bars. I was happily surprised to receive them on 2 days later. When I opened the packages, I was amazed at how beautifully the were wrapped. A Burlap bag tied on the outside, then a linen bag. Instructions on how to put them together were very detailed, and besides an overs-all instruction sheet, each piece had instructions tape to it. It probably took me 10 minutes to put the first one together, reading all the instructions. It took about 30 seconds to do the second one.
They easily went on the beds, and do exactly that I bought them for -- to lift the heavy blankets away from our feet. I researched a number of different types of blanket lifts before ordering these, and these looked to be the most secure. I am very happy with my choice, and just wanted you to know how pleased we are.
**** I like everything about this product...it has the proper support, locks the sheets in place, and is finally high enough to really allow me to roll over without catching my feet...it was easy to assemble and the material of the product is light wieght yet sturdy...it is also thick enough so your toes cannot get caught.. 01972
****This is a wonderful product. My husband's feet are now comfortable all night. The Toespace is very easy to use and you can make the bed around it or remove it in the morning. Shipping was fast. We will be recommending this product .
**** I received my toe space product today and am very happy. After using a very flimsy model, this one seems like the Cadilac of blanket lifters. Thank you so much for a wonderful product and quick delivery. My operated on toe thanks you. 1825
**** I like that it is heavy duty because I sleep under a lot of blankets. I'm using it on the next to highest level. The Toespace works much better than any other blanket supports that I have used. Thank you for inventing the Big Dog Toespace!
****...The ToeSpace has been great. My dad is using it on the highest setting, as they have a very deep mattress and the assembly was very easy.(2012)
**** Yes, the Toespace is working well, and I'm thankful to have it. My husband assembled it and it seemed to be fairly simple. I'm not using it on the highest level, but pretty close. Thank you for having such a nice product out there.
.**** It arrived in great shape and my husband set it up immediately. He has it on the highest level (big feet) and I have lengthened two sheets. He loves it. He says he is sleeping much better. I am so glad we found you. 2012 1816
.****The blanket lift is working out great! Because of chronic health issues, I can't put a blanket directly on my torso or else I have breathing problems that lead to nerve problems, from lack of oxygen. Your blanket lift solved my dilemma: I use it to lift up the blanket into a tent structure over my torso. (The extra holes you drilled did help. The tent would have been angled too low without them) I'm attaching a photo of the tent being slightly squashed by my cat. 1703.
****.I'm pleased to report that my Mr. Big Dog ToeSpace blanket lift has turned out to be an outstanding purchase. It's refreshing to experience excellent customer service and great product quality - a device that arrived on time, is well built and easy to assemble, operates exactly as advertised, and most importantly has made my sleeping so much more comfortable. If anyone asks, I'll tell them that toespace.com is the real deal..
****The blanket lift arrived A-OK and was super easy to assemble. Dad is using it on "one above lowest" setting to keep pressure from the blankets and heat from the electric blanket off his feet / toes. (Heat aggravates his peripheral neuropathy but he needs warm on upper body.
**** Thanks for such wonderful customer service and product! I ordered the blanket lift for my sister who is struggling with peripheral neuropathy. She is very happy with the lift. It's sturdy, and since you happily made it deeper for her, is perfect for her bed and height. 2011
**** Assembly was a bit tricky, but mainly because it's a solo job and a second person kept moving the parts around while the first person was identifying them with the directions sheet! It's really not that difficult if you're not distracted during the job. Bought this for my Dad because sheets catching and holding his feet were aggravating his back pain and making sleep difficult. He loves it and now sleeps well. It's a great devise, and better than others I saw on several other sites, and it is very easy to use.
****You have a great product. Easy to install and adjust, as well as doing the job of alleviating pressure on my feet. I googled your competitors and it seems they have lots of problems, which is why I went with your product.
**** "This is such a fabulous product. I have used a cheap, adjustable 'wire' blanket support for years. It was constantly collapsing on my toes, and it was cold to the touch. Your blanket support is better-made, better-designed and not cold at all. Love it!"
**** Upon arrival: *...My Toe Spacer arrived tonight and I am anxious to hit the sack in toe-tal comfort!! Looks wonderful...went together very easily, now tonight will tell... My dog is a little confused about the bump in the bed but she will adjust. First Night: "Well, I love it. I kept checking all night (in my sleep mind you) to see if it was really there. I had tried to remove the toe nail from my big toe by falling up the stairs at my house and only partially succeeding. So since the nail is still attached (and am trying to keep it there) it is very sensitive and I kept "tenting" my left foot all night. Well, now I don't have to do it, you are doing it for me. Thanks again for this wonderful thing. I am spreading the word..."
**** "...First off, it arrived in a real neat box wrapped in a fancy bag tied with a fancy ribbon. First appearance was real impressive. Dumping all the parts out confused the two blondes that were going to put it together, but I was able to make a few suggestions and it was easily assembled. I have used it every night since and am very pleased with the whole design. It does a splendid job of keeping the blanket weight off my polio feet, and would highly recommend use by anyone in a similar situation:.. (2010)
**** "... The item was purchased for a ... person...wearing heel floats to alleviate pressure wounds on their heels. The purpose of purchasing a blanket lift was to prevent the fabric boots from becoming tangled... Your lift is the only one we found that was available in multiple bed widths and with height adjustment. It is also much sturdier than others we looked at..." (2010)
**** "I just wanted to let you know the item arrived in excellent condition and was very easy to put together. My husband is disabled from several ailments and has chronic foot/leg pain. This blanket lift works perfectly so that he can rest and sleep easier. I was very happy to find this product that works so well..."
**** "We ordered the Mr. Big Dog ToeSpace blanket lift for my elderly father-in-law who has Parkinson's and suffers from problems with his feet, including hammer toes. The order arrived in good condition in no time at all, it seemed. My husband considered building something himself, but this was engineered so well, so reasonably priced and so easy to put together, we were thrilled he didn't take on the project. My father-in-law absolutely loves the blanket lift. It's made his nights much more restful and it was a perfect fit for his bed at the fullest extension. (The reason we used the full extension was that my father-in-law uses pillows at the foot of his bed to elevate his feet because of poor circulation..)
**** "The ToeSpace is perfect. I was surprised at how easy it was to assemble especially with the help of pictures. I put it together on my kitchen island and then on my bed in 30 minutes or less... I actually had to lower the frame, after beginning at the highest adjustment, because I had too much space and my feet got cool! I used the widest setting for my king bed, and can put my feet wherever I want. To lower the frame, I did not have to remove it from the bed!! ... The main problems with the old ones are the height, which is lower, and the tubes, which are cold metal and extend over the mattress. They easily come in contact with the feet and are distracting when one is trying to fall asleep. ToeSpace is better. You have a great product...2010
**** "I just wanted to say how much I LOVE my 3 toespace units. I received them about 10 days ago and set them up right away. Thanks to Toespace, I can now sleep comfortably, with no stress to my ankle joints, which is simply amazing! I mentioned your product to both my chiropractor and my physical therapist, and both of them thought it sounded very useful. My Chiropractor said he had patients who, like me, were having to sleep at the edge of the bed, with feet sticking out (cold!), in order to eliminate pressure on feet/ankles. Seems like there are more folks like me who would benefit from finding out about your great product.
**** "I just wanted to let you know that we received our ToeSpace blanket support, and we love it! It was very easy to assemble, and Dad is very pleased about the way it holds the sheet and blanket away from his toes. It also stays in place and is much sturdier than the fold-up variety we had previously. You were very kind to drill extra holes just to be sure it would be tall enough. We actually did not need to go that high, but it is nice to know that the holes are drilled in case we ever do need to increase the height. Thanks again for your great service and personal touch..(2009)
**** "I had one of the traditional wire supports for a short while, and my dissatisfaction with it prompted me to search for additional options. I found your site! The ToeSpace support arrived yesterday, was easy to put together and is EXACTLY what I would have designed myself as an alternative, based on my frustration with the traditional design. Your excellent Toespace works wonderfully and I am well pleased

The Danish/Swedish Trio Lust For Youth just released a new video. That single line could say it all. Imagine Swedish Hannes Nordvidde including one of the most productive Danish artists at the moment Loke Rahbek and ex-Oh No Ono member Malthe Fischer – sounds pretty mind-blowing right? This is Lust For Youth and if you haven't heard about them before you have literally been living under a rock.
Yesterday these guys released their newest video to 'New Boys' from their well-received album 'International' released earlier this year, an album that really brought international focus towards the Scandinavian trio and their somewhat 80's sounds. If you like New Order and the likes you will love their International album.
Another artistic mastermind is the man behind the video. Frederik Valentin, former member of Rock Hard Power Spray (I miss those guys…) and now the guy behind Complicated Universal Cum, have brought his video-skills for a day at the beach with his kid brother Oliver. It seems like Oliver is having the day of his life with both free icecream (at least I hope they didn't force him to buy it himself with his limited pocket money) and time in the water. All the way through the video you'll see him all by himself so this could quite well be Frederik's attempt to show you the loneliness of the Danish youth – maybe the rest of his friends are at home watching this video or just using their youth checking all the damn updates about Kähler anniversary vases and other irrelevant things!
Here is Lust For Youth with New Boys – enjoy!
