THINGS THAT MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD : WEEK N°1

Things That Make You Feel Good

  Listening to this interview with Lena Dunham by Alec Baldwin on WNYC. Lena talks about how she got where she is, where’s she going still, what will never happen on GIRLS, and why she doesn’t like Rihanna. 

 Learning the meaning of saudade, a Portuguese word that has no direct translation in English but seems to describe everything we can’t. A deep emotional state of nostalgic longing for an absent something carrying a repressed knowledge that the object of longing will never return.

 Playing on repeat this Tegan and Sara song that’s good for running, booty shaking, dancing around your house, and daydreaming about boys you just met or haven’t met yet. Is there anything a good pop song can’t make better?

 Reading and trying to understand this article on Thought Catalog I Am Ready to Die a Violent Death, two thirds of which you won’t get and one third of which might just be the most quietly sensible and beautiful thoughts on love and life I’ve ever read. 

 This totally absurd little thing that you can send to all your best friends like I did with no explanation necessary just to put a smile on their face. 

 This video and more importantly lecture from Alan Watts. Ask yourself…what would you do with your life if money was no object? On another note, I think Alan Watts has one of my favorite voices of all time. 

♡ Beautiful, unique, and eco friendly Valentine’s for everyone over at Maison French Kissed’s shop. Everything from cupcake stands, heart boxes, pink frosted glass ware and so much more dreamy stuff!
