a to-do list

A few friendly suggestions of things I have enjoyed lately and wanted to share...

read this:

The Fault in Our Stars, John Green

Um, hi. This book is good. I'm discovering that all of John Green's books are. But this one in particular was just... a must-read. It's about a girl with cancer. Which is just about as sad as it sounds. But so worth shedding a few tears over.

watch this:

Downton Abbey

My mom gets annoyed by my incessant insisting on which shows she should be watching. But after I finally persuaded her to watch just one episode of Downton (english accents! amazing costumes! Maggie Smith!) she was hooked. And I got to say "I told you so." Win, win.

listen to this:

Voyageur, Kathleen Edwards

I love a good female singer. And Kathleen Edwards' CD does not disappoint. Full of great little ballads, it's the perfect music for Mondays, I think. Plus, it's produced by Bon Iver's Justin Vernon... need I say more? Favorite track: Empty Threat.

wear this:

Matte top coat

I was sporting some sweet matte green polish last week and the compliments were rolling in. As of late, you could call me obsessed with all things matte, so I was pleased to find that my fingers can get in on the party. With this top coat, you can make any polish matte....winning!
