Braids
It's strange that it is at the age of 30 that I actually find braiding hair interesting. I have spent more time than I'd like to admit over the last month or so watching teenagers on YouTube braid their hair and failing time and time again to braid my own hair.
Lauren Conrad, Selena Gomez, Blake Lively, Miley Cyrus and many other celebrities have embraced this trend and it's so gorgeous in the summer with sun-kissed highlights.
My favorite tutorials are from Sunnysideup11100:

If you haven't heard of Gala Darling, you are in for a real treat. I watched her presentation at TEDxCMU and fell madly in love with her ideology of self love.
"I believe in searching for the magic in every day. Once you’ve trained your eye, you can’t help but delight in seeing the small & extraordinary things that surround us. Enthusiastic gratitude & appreciation for the present moment are part of my essential practices." - Gala Darling
Here is that presentation that moved me:
Wind Map
As if I need anything else to distract me from my day ... I happened upon this site that I seriously got sucked into for a good three to four hours. Lord, what is wrong with me? If you are a nutcase like me, I am sure you will be captivated by the wind patterns across the United States found in this wind map.
"An invisible, ancient source of energy surrounds us—energy that powered the first explorations of the world, and that may be a key to the future." - hint.fm
