Music Monday: Young Galaxy

Young Galaxy - We Have Everything

Happy Monday, Pinheads!  As another week begins I want us all to sit back and realize everything we have at this very moment.  And the most important possessions aren't always tangible things but more often health, a friendship, a pet, a partner, a memory, an inside joke, the list goes on.  Our individual personalities and differentiators that make us each unique are one thing you have that can never be taken away.  I just heard this song, 'We Have Everything' by Young Galaxy, over the weekend and the lyrics caught me off guard, juxtaposed with the animated video the words are strong and weighted.  My favorite line, "In poverty, my love, we have everything", is the mantra I want to live not only this week but my life by.  Too often we get caught up on material things and other items which we worship with great importance.  I challenge you to step back and realize even if you were left with no possessions you could still be happy because that is truly when you have everything - you have you.

I wish you all love and light this week!

Ethereal Hosiery On Trend

Now that it is time to take those leggings off and slip into something a little more sheer I have been looking into hosiery trends that deviate from the mundane nude.  I have posted some of my favorite ranging from wacky Donald Duck to more work appropriate versions.  If you on board to try this trend you are bound to find one to fit your personality!  This leggy trend emerged in Tokyo, creating a clean look with a strong focus on prints and pattern.  Delicate line works look simple in black or vivid tones.  Prints can be seen featured on the backs of legs, instep and the bottom of the feet for those seeking a private happiness.  Tattoo motifs, as shown above and below, give a bold effect on the soft background colors and can be deceiving to those at a distance.  The unexpected motifs are my favorite and can include anything from botanical designs, hands, mustaches and even fish!

Music Monday: Leagues

Leagues - Spotlight

Happy April to all!  This Monday is about happiness and our cyclical friend, Karma.  I am a strong believer in the phrase, "you get all of the good you give".  In other words every good deed you do doesn't go unnoticed and will come back to you in another shape, form or fashion.  At first this song, 'Spotlight' by Leagues had me singing along because it was upbeat and bubbly and then when I finally actually listened to the meaning of the lyrics I gained a new perspective.  The song is about a romantic relationship and not giving up easily but fighting tooth and nail.  I interpreted it a little differently though, as I am about to finish school and currently looking for an internship, I molded this song to fit never giving up on your goals and really digging down deep to accomplish them, even after everyone else has thrown in the towel.  Everything you do will come back to you so create positive habits in your daily life and create your own happiness.

Stay Inspired!
