Sweater Weather

 Hello there lovelies, since the past two weeks have been kinda hectic with the new year and all, I decided to make today's post an easy read.
     One of the main reason I love winter so much is because I can wear sweaters, and darker colors, without being judged for it.

13 Quotes I like to Live by...

    There are certain quotes I like to live by, I have a lot, but today I decided to share some of my favorites.

• Just think of the pain a smile can hide, you don't even know what is really behind it!
• I think it's very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person. - Oscar Wilde 
• Whether you're a size 4 or 24, if you have a vagina you are a real woman.
• FEARLESS is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again... Even though every time you've tried before you've lost. -Taylor Swift
• The only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday.
• I like my booty and thighs. I have curves. Get over it. -Demi Lovato
• I don't think there's going to be a day when I don't think about food or my body, but I'm living with it, and I wish I could tell young girls to find their safe place and stay with it. -Demi Lovato
• Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live it's whole life believing that it's stupid. -Albert Einstein
• Beware of the half truth.You may have gotten hold of the wrong half. 
• "Look at yourself from a child's perspective. It's about taking things at face value without preconceived notions. It keeps you grounded in reality rather than stuck in your head and thoughts."
• Inhale the good shit, Exhale the bad shit. Shit is shit you choose what to do with it, let it go, or cling to it. ( The first half is from Pinterest, but the second half I added).
• "Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable we have to alter it every six months." - Oscar Wilde
• Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools speak because they have to say something. -Plato

          My favorite quote is the last one on the list which is by Plato. I just discovered it yesterday, but I feel so connected to it, because it speaks the truth about my life. I choose not to talk unless I have something to say, and those around me speak just to hear themselves.

5 Words: Week 1

 So it's Week 1 of my new series of words, in case you didn't read that post, here's a little explanation.  I decided to start posting 5 words weekly and to post the definition because it's always interesting to learn new words or find out the real meaning of a word, because in this day and age we tend to make  up our own meanings for words. So here we go....

Dilettante- 
      1.) A person who claims an area of interest, such as the arts, without real commitment or knowledge.
      2.) A person with an amateur interest in the arts.
Raconteur-
      A person who is skilled in relating stories and anecdotes interestingly.
 Pudeur-
      A sense of shame, especially in sexual matters; modesty.
Palladium-
     1.) A safeguard.
     2.) A rare, silvery-white metal.
Sybarite-
     A person devoted to luxury and pleasure.
  So there's this week's five words, let me know what you think. Stay Creative my lovelies, I'll post again very very soon.
                                                                                                 xoxo,
                                                                                                     Lori Ann

Did You Ever Notice?

    Did you ever notice how creative people always seem to work in cafes? Hmm,  I had never really thought about it. But then I started thinking about ways to be more creative, and then I thought of cafes.
    Then I thought about how creative people seem to work in cafes a lot. Singers, songwriters,  actors, writers, etc., etc. Why?
   I think it has to do with the fact that there are so many different people who go in and out of cafes everyday that it gives inspiration to them. An idea, an overheard conversation, a certain look, the possibilities are endless.
    Then I came across a blog post about this very same topic, here's the link (Here).  And it gives 20 reasons that I can really relate to, and it just really describes the question why.
   I decided I wanted to post below my favorites from the list, so here we go... (I may add to it)

1. Easy access to coffee 
2. Muffins, cookies, cakes. (In my own opinion anything chocolate)
3. It doesn't feel like work.
4. No office. (You  can move around and not be stuck in the same place either a new cafe or just new seat).
5. Old patterns are interrupted. New patterns emerge.

Well that's all for today, that was just my little observation, I hope you liked it.
                                                           Stay Creative,
                                                                                         Lori Ann
