BEING A PREP FOR A WEEK: 1/15/17 -- 1/21/17

Hello, lovely readers!  I apologize for my absence over the past week;  even though Monday was a holiday, the following week days still managed to be a little hectic.  My days have been full of reading (Into the Wild has been pretty good so far), studying (for the ACT, AP exams, a healthcare competition...), and watching various medical procedures (at least I'll know what to expect if I need to have a colonoscopy).  However, I always anticipate turning back to blogging, as it is my favorite creative pastime. Nothing quite compares to a good dose of HTML coding and link gathering!  Speaking of links...

Now, on to some of my favorite links from the past week:
As someone who has always wanted a white kitchen, I loved this video about alternatives to that beautiful (although somewhat impractical) strain of marble that has gained so much popularity...
Five females from history that should have their own miniseries--now that's an idea to pitch to BBS!
These colorblock leggings are so cool;  they'd pair well with these New Balance sneakers...
Especially in this era, it's important for us to actively study the past so that we can better impact the future.  So, what is the difference between history and the past?  This post answers that question beautifully.
This designer-parody Disney tee is the best thing I've seen today...

Now, in light of this week's Martin Luther King Day and the world's rapidly changing state, let's remember this piece of wisdom:  "I have decided to stick with love.  Hate is too great a burden to bear."

How was your week?

Love,
Tori
