Finding the motivation to keep on keeping on

It is such a simple utterance, yet we complex its meaning by uprooting real & mental obstacles. If you’re passionate about something – the thing that brings…

Retro West Indies Tourism posters

If you haven’t been to the West Indies, you should visit one of the many islands; it is truly a beautiful geographic area filled with lush agriculture, warm weather, and rich culture. No, I don’t work for any Tourism board, but was inspired to do a post of various Tourism posters from West Indies nations.

(I shudder the thought).

Funky Phresh Vinyl Toys: Dunny UK Series

These vinyl toys by KidRobot are like 6 – 10 pounds in price each, and are some of the most creative-disturbing-cute vinyl toys that you will ever see. I don’t know at what age you would introduce these to your kids, or if the logic is to be an adult, and buy them for interior decoration, but either way – they will definitely set you apart from the pack whether it is at the monkey bars at the playground, or in the overpriced high-maintenance condo.
