Wicked Whimsy

cutest thing ever? MAYBE.

• Goal Setting for Creatives. This totally makes me want The Creative Entrepreneur even more.
• And a similar set of words but completely different article: Creative Ways to Meet Your Goals.
• Why Having Fun is Great for Business.
• Just a reminder: beauty standards do, in fact, change with the times.
• This should be required reading for online purchases: How to Custom Order Goods from Your Indie Friends.
• Haus of Gloi sounds like a place to check out…and their packaging is just lovely!
• Dolls + CGI = creepy animated short courtesy of Coilhouse.
• From Pace & Kyeli (who, by the way, I met on Saturday and were probably some of the nicest people ever): the structure of social revolutions.

dancing cats FTW.

• Via Gala: The Art of Living Mindfully.

Though she can betray impatience, she very rarely gets angry (her students confirm this). Anger is a tactic of the powerless, Langer believes, and she decided a long time ago that she had the power to do anything she set her mind to. That also takes care of envy: “If you have something, it doesn’t mean I can’t have it, if I learn how.”

• Part 2 of How do I become a grown-up? Good reading. Like, you know, pretty much anything Sarah Von writes!
• The Triumph of the Size 12s is very much a misnomer, but I liked the article anyways.
• You’re not normal.
• The V size issue has sparked some interesting posts, articles, & feedback across the web. (Admittedly, along with some that make me want to rip my hair out.) Here’s my favorites: at A Fluffy Blog, the fashion size debate bingo card, and Shapely Prose’s take.
• And, finally, even though I’m working on a pretty customized planner of my own, I kind of want to buy this one, just to keep around and look at. Gorgeous much? I shouldn’t even be looking at it, it just makes me want it more! Along similar lines, TeuxDeux is pretty awesome and very handy when you’re between planners.

I hope you had a freakin’ fabulous weekend, and that your week is getting off to a great start. I’ve got some news & neat things in store for you this week! It’s been pretty nice here in Austin, I’m just hoping it stays this way – it keeps getting all soggy and rainy, boo!
