pin it.

*all via Pinterest

Seriously, if you haven't heard of or gotten yourself an invite to Pinterest, you need to NOW. I've been 'pinning' for a little while now and JUST.CAN'T.STOP. What is this you might ask? Well, odds are if you like browsing the blog world for pretty images that inspire you, or make your mouth water and what not, then pinning is for you. I've gotten all of my sisters and some friends on board, and all are now addicts. As a designer, I've found it to be an ENDLESS LIBRARY of all things inspiration... and then find myself inspired in a hundred other ways as well. There's so much DIY'ing up in that place, it'd blow your mind. And the RECIPES... don't even get me started. Heavenly resource is what this is. Guaranteed ANY of you can find PLENTY of things you would LOVE to pin.

If you're already on the scene, you can follow my page at pinterest.com/aricamalace
Want in? Leave your email and I'll send you an invite.
You'll thank me for it.

PS. Is that little girl not the cutest human being you've ever seen?

Help..

I want my medicine cabinet to use these containers someday!

I think they're awesome, and the OCD in me likes the idea of no longer having mixed bottle sizes/different labels.

Not Maria's Nursery

I would check THIS post out on Dooce if I were you, because she has thrown together quite the nursery/guest suite. It's precious. (:

Daily Chuck

Have you ever been to Dooce blog?
It's a good time.. I believe she's got the highest viewed blog in the country (something like that..)
Anyway, I like to stop by, and when I do.. the 'Daily Chuck' photos always seem to make my day.
Chuck is her dog, and he's a fabulous model.
Makes me wish I could take such vivacious photos of dear Birdie. (:

Oh My, Heaven.

Oh man, oh man! So here's the thing.

THIS wonderful Utah spa known as Sego Lily Mind Body Spa.. is doing a little diddy. A contest if you will. Meaning, you tell them why you should win a WHOLE YEAR'S WORTH OF TREATMENTS, and they give it to you. Well, not you, me. I plan on winning. I enter contests and giveaways.. and have yet to show for it, but this time will be different. Just you see. :)
Anyway, you might be thinking to yourself.. "Arica, you doodie.. you WORK in a spa, share the wealth!" ..and while this is a valid concern, I return your statement with a question: Do you think GIVING massages are as rewarding as RECIEVING them? ..that's what I thought.

The only catch is to post about the whole experience. When you recieve your monthly treatments and all that jazz. HELLO! Who wouldn't want to share the dream job of pampering with the rest of the world!? I mean, LOOK at these treatments.. you might want to check your lip. I think you're drooling already.


I mean if a HONEYDEW & PARAFFIN COCOON isn't reason enough to enter, I don't know what is. I can just imagine the words I would have to describe such a treatment after recieving it. Fancy, definitely a fancy thing to have done.

..All I can say is, I'm in.
And Sego Lily, I'll post about anything you want, ANYTHING!
And THAT is why I think I should win. :)

You are welcome to join me in THIS quest. Best of luck to us all, fellow Utah dwellers.

Cheers!

Have A Cute Day

Another splendid find via Alexis Dyer. She's classy, and we like that.
Anyway, this blog makes me smile, and I plan on letting them know when I'm having a cute day.
YOU SHOULD TOO! :)

Free People

Free People is SUCH an adorable clothing boutique. They make really unique stuff, but the pain is that what they make will cost upwards of $100 per item (yeah.. yikes). But at least I can still lust, right? Here are some of my current favorites..

Embry Rucker

This post is mainly for all of my photography friends (Heather M, Ash Lisonbee, Natalie N, Rachel W, Melissa W, etc.).. although, everyone can enjoy the beauty I'm sure. Anyway, I figured you guys could find some inspiration from his photographs. He is SO talented it's insane, I just love his stuff. And Ash Lisonbee, I know you're really into natural lighting (which is awesome), but I'm sure you can totally see the beauty in all of the shots he sets up, natural or not. He's does a LOT of work for professional athletes all over the world (a lot of surfers, which is mainly why I'm so intrigued of course), and even famous people like Snoop Dogg & even the old cast of Laguna Beach. Haha. Magazine & catalog stuff all over the world, you name it.. he's there. Anyway, here are some of my favorites..

You can check out the rest of his stuff at his website EMBRY RUCKER, or even follow his crazy world travels on his blog here.
