Happy weekend my friends!! Here’s my week in links…
1) Love the Bod You’ve Got. Yes, yes, and yes! I know this has been said time and time again, but we really are living in a culture that glorifies very skinny and worships re-touched magazine covers. As Kat says, strong is the new skinny in her book. LOVE IT. Gorgeous photos too.
2) Five Tips to Becoming More Photogenic. As a photographer who has worked with posing and warming up people for the camera for the last few years, I have to say this is pretty good advice! Numbers 2, 4 and 5 are particularly good. Posing in front of the camera doesn’t have to be hard. A slight shift of your weight (always to the hip farthest away from the camera) and posing at least one arm and hand (to put a gap between your arms and waist) can go a loooong way.
3) Happy Hour Blueberry Lemon Fizz. Nothing says summah-summah-time like a refreshing grown up beverage! This genius concoction uses a summertime favorite in our house, gin (try this kind, distilled in Portland!) and blueberry-infused simple syrup. Yes please.
4) Chicken Satay With Spicy Peanut Sauce. Before I whipped this up on Father’s Day, I’d never cooked a satay per se. But man was it tasty! The peanut sauce rivaled any I’d had in a restaurant, and my kids loved eating chicken on a stick. I served ours over rice noodles with a small Asian salad on the side. (Scroll past the contest bit to get to the recipe.)
5) How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful. New wonderfulness by one of my favorites, Florence and the Machine playing on high-rotation on my Spotify.
I love your weekend rundown! Definitely trying that recipe and adding that artist to my Spotify! Thanks for sharing!
