top5.

Well, it's officially the first weekend of 2014 and I'm thankful for the time off after all the festivities this week! I hope you had a lovely NYE and a little too much fun ringing in 2014.

Without further ado, one of my favourite posts to write is a Top 5 - so why not kick off the year with one? Here's what I'm into at the moment:

Leaf TV. 

I'm slightly obsessed with Leaf TV's YouTube channel. Yes, their other social media feeds are great, but there's something really engaging about their how-to videos. 

Give yourself some time to watch them - even though many are less than a minute long, you'll want to go through them all. You've been warned. 

Colony Bar 

I love so many restaurants in my neighbourhood, Kitsliano, but it's hard to beat two for one brunch and Tapped Out Tuesdays at Colony Bar. Whenever I have friends visiting, it's my first stop with for a welcome sip and bite.

Beyonce Art History. 

The best Tumblr I've seen in awhile. 

Lenny Kravitz. 

All I can listen to at the moment. On repeat: "Again" 

A good mantra. 

That's all. 

tumble.

You've probably heard this a few times, but do you have an "inspiration board"?

According to a experts and studies, being able to visualize something, whether it be a place you want to travel to, colours that you love, goals for the week, you are more likely to make it happen. 

This usually goes in your workspace to constantly keep your creative juices flowing. 

While not all of us have room on the walls (hey, some of these Toronto apartments are small) there are some online options. 

The most popular appears to be the virtual inspiration board, Pinterest. Here you can pull photos from different people - your friends, editors at Vogue or the like to curate separate themed boards. 

I'm a recent addition to the Tumblr family. You can now follow the Sunrise Junction Tumblr  for my latest musings from various sources, Instagram photos and more. 

One thing I'm loving about Tumblr so far is the ability to "reblog" (almost like a retweet) someone's post. In some cases, it doesn't work, and I don't like that people take credit for the writing and photography of others. I'm especially loving the daily cartoons and arts stories from The New Yorker. 

But there is some golden content throughout the site and I wanted to find a platform to share it. 

Check out my new page, send me your Tumblr blog URL and let's get sharing.

Remember you can find my social media feeds anytime on the right hand side of this blogette - just look for the peach-coloured icons!
