I started my “101 Things to do in 1001 Days” challenge on April 24, 2016, and I feel like I’ve not accomplished much in the past four months. So earlier this week, I decided to sit down with my list to see what, if anything, I’ve accomplished so far. But first, who inspired me to do this list? It was two bloggers… first was Kate from Kate The Almost Great, and she pointed me in the direction of Mackenzie Horan at Design Darling, who put together her first list together in 2011. This list, like Mackenzie says, is a cross between a […]
50 Questions Which Will Free Your Mind: Part 4
As part of “My 101 Things to do in 1001 Days” Challenge, I added the task to answer “50 questions which will free your mind.” These questions really make me stop to think.

In fact, I have never just sat down and watched YouTube video after video until last weekend.

Man of Style: Gianluca Vacchi

He is friends with Zac Efron and Michelle Rodriguez, even hosting them on his yacht in Sardinia a couple of summers ago when Zac and Michelle had their summer fling.
