just... you know... stuff.

sometimes, i wish i could tell you everything.
but that'd be crazy.
and i don't want to be the crazy over-sharer internet lady.

what i can tell you:
1. moksha yoga is completely changing my life.

2. next week, at this time, i'll be san francisco.  i'm so excited at the thought of breathing salty air, i can barely contain myself.

3. i've been watching some of oprah's lifeclasses.  i can't say for sure but i may be a little bit of a self-help junkie.  i can't help it.  it's useful!

4. i bought this shirt at françois beauregard.  kind of a sucker for a well-tailored shirt.

5.  today, a client and i were talking about senses.  and she was telling me how much she loved good food, and eating at nice restaurants.  and i told her that, as much as i like a well-prepared meal, i'm just not a foodie.  to be completely honest, fancy restaurants are kind of wasted on me.  i'm almost happier at a little neighborhood restaurant as i am at mr. fancy's super deluxe house of $29 entrées.  and she said: "well, the equivalent for you would be if you lost your hearing and couldn't listen to music anymore".  and, i swear, in that moment, i almost started to cry.  the thought of that is one of the worst things i can imagine.  second only to losing my mom.  never being able to listen to a song ever again?  can you imagine?  so, tonight, i'm listening to songs, as i always do, but with a little more gratitude for the simple fact that i can.  and, with that said, i never want to talk about this again because it gives me the serious creeps.

6.  october is kind of my favourite... and i hope my favourite is being good to you ♥

mon petit nombril.

i have an amazing and talented bunch of clients.  they're an extremely likeable crew.

there is no way to say this without sounding like i'm trying to suck up so i'm just going to come out and say it: some clients, i love.  even though i may just see them once every couple of months.  even though i don't necessarily hang out with them outside of our appointments together.  even though they have their own lives and i have mine.  i love them.  i root for them.  i think of them when i'm doing the dishes, or when i'm in line at the post office.  i wonder how their date went.  i wonder if they found a new daycare for their kids.  i hope their mom is feeling better.  and i am very grateful to what ever forces have brought them to me, and me to them.  i feel better just knowing that they are out there in the world/that they exist.

geneviève and her boyfriend, christian, are two of these clients.  christian is a fountain of folky/musical knowledge, and not unlike a younger, male version of me. and geneviève and i were probably best friends in a previous life.  they're genuine and sweet and talented and interesting and real.  all the things i love in people, they have in spades.  if i didn't already have not enough time to see my friends, i would want to hang out with them all the time.

you can see for yourself, if you like, on geneviève's blog.
if you speak/read french, i dare you to read this entry and not love them as much i do.

newbie.

i'd been meaning to redecorate one of the walls in my sudio for a while now.  i finally got around to it this afternoon.

the idea came from a photo i found on pinterest, and that i posted here a little while back.

 'member this?

friends.

you know what's really fun?  when two of your favourite stores like your blog, that's what.

bright red hoodie was mentioned on lola & emily's blog recently.  if you live in montreal, i don't need to tell you how ridiculously awesome this store is.  hands down, my favourite clothing store in MTL.  i was so in love with the current window display at their st-laurent location that i took pics of it!

nüspace is another favourite of mine.  they recently created a facebook page and gave BRH a little shout-out.  yay!

notable quotables.

world's greatest mug.

live from NY.

in the dream world of my mind, there is an app that turns regular photos into SNL-type portraits.

i love the combination of satured and desatured colours, and the way they almost look like paintings.  they make me want to learn how to use photoshop.

they're the work of photographer, mary ellen matthews.
