"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." -Leo F. Buscaglia

Today I was complimented twice every hour and it made me feel marvelous. People thought that the feather headband I was wearing was adorable. Urban Outfitters happens to sell feather headbands like the one I was wearing. I made my feather headband from simple craft supplies, which all together cost about $10, because I refused to pay $24 for Urban Outfitters' version. I, personally, like my version better. 

Isn't it strange how easily compliments make our day better? 

I love music. Who doesn't? Today I've been listening to Sia and Sigur Ros non-stop. Sigur Ros'  songs are Icelandic and I can't understand them, but their music is very soothing. Sia is also calming. My favorite song is Little Black Sandals, which is currently on repeat. 

Another thing I've been doing lately is playing the Super Obama World game. It is perfect for procrastinators like me! Here is the address if anyone decides to try it out: http://superobamaworld.com/      WARNING: this game is extremely addictive. 

I have recently discovered the art of nail designs. I call it art because it is an expression of style, mood, and it takes skill. First, I painted my nails with leopard print with a brown base and gold and black spots. Now, I have moved on to lightning bolts. Every time I look down at my hands I smile. There is just something about having my own bright creation on my fingernails that brings a smile to my face. 


There is a nice video with some guy going to different countries and doing some silly dance, but I think it's cool to see all of the different people and the places he chooses to record himself. He is sponsored by Stride, the gum company. They pay for him to go around the world and record himself dancing. Here's the link for the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY        I wish I had this guy's job. It would be amazing to travel around the world and dance with different groups of people.
