Remember this video? Her Morning Elegance was one of my very first posts. I still listen to the song everyday and the video is surely my favorite music video EVER. You, too? Well I have some awesome news for anyone who loves the video or who knows someone who does. {Or, anyone looking for a fantastic, out-of-this-world-no-one-else-will-ever-think-to-give-this gift.}

You can now own a piece of the video. See, the video was composed of 2,096 individual photos, which are now up for grabs. Only one of each print will be sold, so it’s guaranteed that your print is unique and authentic.

You can purchase a print online at The Gallery of Her Morning Elegance. {Orders must be placed prior to December 10th for holiday delivery.}

Recently stumbled upon the beautiful blog, hearblack, which has absolutely GORGEOUS photography by the blog’s author. {Seriously, go look.} To boot, the blog is run by a young couple who lives in Hawaii and is obviously ridiculously, gag-me, smitten with one another. Oh, and they’ve got some great photos of recent Switzerland and Oregon trips that will make you drool. Photography and fabulous life aside, I was fascinated with these fantastic and simple bits of art I found on the site. So simple and lovely. This is a definite DIY project for all. So, while we can’t all live in Hawaii, madly in love with perfect photography and craft skills, we can have these frames.

I found this video on twitter, courtesy of Nate St. Pierre who described it as “achingly beautiful.” {Oh, how I love that term!}

Speaking of achingly beautiful, Nate runs this website that seeks to change the world with 15-minute {or less} a week assignments done by thousands of the site’s followers. Appropriately named, It Starts With Us is simply beautiful. Go, sign-up!

{btw} You can watch some more beautiful videos over at Routines.

Can you believe one of these pictures was taken by a 7 year old? No, that isn’t a typo. I did actually type the number seven with nothing before or after. In fact, all of these images were created by children, under the age of 14. Isn’t that extraordinary?

They are a few of the past leaders in the National Geographic Kids International Photography Contest. {You can see more on the NatGeo Kids galleries.} Imagine what would happen if we replaced the wii remotes with cameras or art supplies or cooking utensils. I think we underestimate what our kids are capable of, no?

{p.s.} Can you guess which one was the 7 year old?

On these hazy summer days, we take pleasure in the little things. Is there anything better than sipping ice cold water with a slice of lemon when you’ve just been out in the feverish heat? Summer seems the perfect time to steal a quiet afternoon soaking in a tub until the water cools with a good book and then settling into a plush white towel or into crisp cool sheets.

It’s all about little {and sometimes, big} escapes, isn’t it?

{p.s.} Also, would like to take a quick moment to announce the winner of the Perricone Summer Survival Kit. Congratulations to my dear Linda of Simply Seductive!

{miraculous body}

There are over 600 muscles in the human body.
A microliter of blood contains over 5 million red blood cells.
There is an average of 100,000 hairs on your head, which actually may vary depending on your hair color.

You are miraculous. You are intricate down to the drop of blood from a finger prick. You are delicate and still resilient. All those flaws you think you have aren’t flaws; they are the equivalent to the variations that emerge with every brush stroke of a masterpiece. Which is what you are: a masterpiece.
