From Me (CCL) To You (?)
This Aesop exfoliant is great. Sprinkle a little in the cleanser of your choosing a couple times a week and you’re good to go.

Shake the dickens out of it!

UPDATE: I did this and it was awesome. 

Wenda and Ostriches, South Africa 1951 by Norman Parkinson. “On location in Africa Mrs Parkinson was posed on the back of an ostrich which turned out to move at an incredible speed. As she disappeared into the distance clinging on for dear life, her husband, intent on his view-finder, was heard to cry after her, “More profile, Wenda! More profile!”’

Oh, there is one shot that I fixed. It’s because Neil deGrasse Tyson, who is one of the U.S.’ leading astronomers, sent me quite a snarky email saying that, at that time of year, in that position in the Atlantic in 1912, when Rose is lying on the piece of driftwood and staring up at the stars, that is not the star field she would have seen, and with my reputation as a perfectionist, I should have known that and I should have put the right star field in.

Me & My Plant

As someone fairly new to living with houseplants, my plant care style thus far has been a bit fly by the seat of my pants. Lenneke of A Little Hamster recently pointed to Me & My Plant, a wonderfully well-done care handbook from the Flower Council of Holland. It’s perfect for all of us plant newbies.

Second morning in a row I’ve woken up to find a hummingbird outside my window. So lovely — and entirely unexpected as a city dweller. I’m going to take it as a sign of good luck.

The warm weather here in NYC compelled me to make a “Spring Has Sprung” set on Svpply.
