Monthly Favorites

2016 is flying by! March is here and with it comes more sunlight and warmer temps. I'm so looking forward to springtime. 

Watch: An amazing video about a man who makes snow murals using snowshoes (via swissmiss). 

Listen (Music): NPR's Tiny Desk concerts are so wonderful - musicians performing in a stripped down setting. This new concert from Wilco is an instant fave. 

Listen (Podcast): I've gotten back into Slate's Political Gabfest lately. With election season upon us, I love the deep discussions the hosts dive into and hearing their takes on this process. 

Read: A short article with astounding photos taken by astronaut Scott Kelly during his year-long assignment to the International Space Station (he returned to Earth this week). Check out his Instagram feed for even more amazing photos. 

Follow: I've blogged before about my love of Valentino. Well, their Instagram account is just as fabulous. A must-follow if you love fashion, patterns, and embroidery.

Shop: I stumbled upon Tortoise General Store when I was in Los Angeles last month. It is my dream store! The shop stocks homeware goods, ceramics, office supplies, and all other types of goodies imported from Japan.
