Beam & Anchor



Beam & Anchor is a new shop that just recently opened up in Portland, Oregon. I was introduced to the shop by Jen of Honey Kennedy. After looking at the website, I realized that the shop had brought together some of my favorite existing shops (ex: Maak Soap Lab & Spartan Shop) to make one really fabulous shop. Wouldn’t it be absolutely amazing to have the job title of “Soaper” and “Apothecary Crafter”? Love it!

Stop by the website to see more people involved and some more shop photos.

Food Blog Love

I’m most likely the pickiest eater you’ll ever know. I have what I like and rarely stray from those handful of things. Oddly enough…I’m obsessed with food blogs and I think it’s because they make the food LOOK good. Anyway…I’m obsessed and I thought I’d share my favorites. I would also suggest you guys to check sites like Shahnaz Indian Cuisine where you can see some awesome recipes with you can cook delicious food. Well and for making some awesome drinks The-tea-set will be best choice to follow. If you have any favorites you’d like to share, I’d love to see them 🙂

Enjoy!

Pia Ulin


Pia Ulin is an advertising photographer based in Stockholm, Sweden. His work usually focuses on interior spaces and lifestyle imagery, but his person (everyday) style shooting is really lovely too. I tended to gravitate towards the darker/moodier images in his portfolio, but there really is a great range. I think my favorite aspect about the work is the high contrast and deep saturation of color; definitely something I try to achieve with my own photography work.

In Their Home (Studio) // Fuzzco

This week’s In Their Home is just a wee bit different because I stumbled across a studio space that just had me wanting to drop by and say hello. The Company is called Fuzzco and it is a studio where designers & programmers ” improve the quality of life for their clients”. I found the whole place, inside and out to be completely inspiring. Not to mention they have a great sample of work to share. See more office shots HERE of peruse their portfolio HERE.

Lesson Learn-ing: It's ok to be unmotivated

I’m having one of those days. You know those days where even Pinterest can’t inspire you! Those severely unproductive days where you feel guilty for only moving a few pixels around on the screen with no need in pressing the save button. No masterpieces are being created, nor thought about.  The only kind of motivation I have at the moment is picking up a milkshake from the corner ice cream shop… Completely worthless I tell ya.

I suppose you can’t be “on it” every day, so I’m deciding that it’s OK to be unmotivated….today. I’ll try really hard not to make sloth like behavior my new day job. 😉
