TYPOGRAPHY FRIDAY: Victor Bregante

Not only is this Typography design absolutely genius. I totally love it. Victor Bregante, 

a designer, used his medium of choice as the subject to create this text about loving his 

job. He perfectly joins the words and subject together to express his sentiment perfectly.

 I couldn't agree more Victor. {xox}

Aerial Yoga, looks amazing

Desperate to try this. Have anyone out there done this before, I would love to hear 

about it? It looks amazing for my back. I just spent the morning searching for a place 

in Baltimore or Annapolis that offers it but have not had any luck. If anyone has a place 

to recommend it would be greatly appreciated. 

ILLUSTRATION INSPIRATION: Aileen Leijten

Lets talk about the talented Aileen Leijten, because I have a lot to say and most of it 

involves swooning. Aileen is an Illustrator with a very impressive resume and client 

list (Including Hanna Barbera and Walt Disney Imagineering, wowsers) But what I love 

most about her are her characters. They are absolutely tangebly adorable. I appreciate 

their big puffy clothes and spindly legs and arms and really love their super big heads. 

Although these may seem like silly things to say, this is what makes her characters 

(and her style choice) stand out. She paints her illustrations and her blog offers a bit of 

insight into her process. (I am always fascinated by how other illustrators create). And Let 

us not forget her palette. Do you notice all of the nice warm hues, my eye could swim 

in the soft color palette that she uses.   

Check out a list of her illustrated books here... my favorite is The Hugging Hour

A Mother's Day Commission

Just slipping in a recent Meant for a Moment Mother's Day Commission.

This one was really cute, commissioned by a musician for his mom. {xox}

Beet and Potato Chips = Beautiful

Here is a great idea to add to your Mother's Day Lunch Menu, aren't the beet chips 

beautiful? Head over to Sips and Spoonful for more details, but for now, 

here is the recipe:

Beet and Potato Chips with Thyme Rock SaltIngredients:Beets
Potatoes
Himalayan sea salt
Fresh thyme leaves
Oil for deep frying (canola or sunflower oil)

Directions:Wash and dry the beets and potatoes. Finely slice with a mandolin. Make sure the 
slices are dry. Heat oil in a frying pan on high heat. When the oil is hot, add the beet 
and potato slices one at a time so they don't stick to one another. Don't overcrowd the oil. 
Fry, stirring every so often until they are crispy. Drain on a paper towel and immediately 
sprinkle with thyme salt. Serve when it cools down.
To make thyme salt, grind Himalayan sea salt with thyme leaves in
on beets and potatoes but that is personal preference. a pestle and mortar.
Notes: Beets will shrink when fried so you are better off using
 larger beets. I left the skin 

Come with a Story Campaign

"Come with a story, Leave with Another" is a brilliant ad campaign for the 

Colsubsidio Book Exchange that will have you double taking. These clever paper-cut 

silhouettes, by the Lowe/SSP3 ad agency, feature a mash-up of two literary icons. 

The First one: Little Red Riding Hood and Moby Dick. The Second one: Harry Potter 

and Troy and the last one: Snow White and Sherlock Holmes. I really like the minimalist 

approach and the brilliant attention to each detail. This campaign caught my attention 

and has me looking for more, job well done!
