have a worry-free weekend + links.

both yangkyu and i woke up at 5 am to a terrible down pour. i also subsequently knocked over my coffee and got my phone and also my japan/korea travel research notes all drenched.  i was dreading that today was going to be one of those days where i would be out of my groove in what would be a very gloomy, dark and horribly wet day. but i love stories that have surprise endings -- right now it's the afternoon and the sun is out and there is a slight breeze.  so.. it's going to be a good day - a prelude to what i hope will be a good, worry-free weekend. 

do you have anything planned? 

i'm finally getting a trim. i had spent the past couple of years trying to desperately grow my hair out that i hardly got any trims. you can imagine how many split and dying ends i have right now. i can't wait to get rid of them.

i haven't done these in a while, but here are some links to start your weekend. hope you enjoy them! 

 // love these cruelty-free nail lacquers by one of the latest leaping bunny certified companies. 

 // if i should have a daughter... a great ted talk by sarah kay. 

 // i would like each of toru sanogawa's animal prints please.
