WEDDING ANNIVERSARY CAKE by @milkbarstore 🎂 I feel bad telling you about this cake we had for our two year anniversary when california is still on fire. I went to college only a few miles away from paradise, ca and spent so much time in those forests between rays of sun and sticky summer laughter. I saw people get married there. my friends grew up there. I used to go on drives there when I needed to clear my head and stop at the black bear diner for a slice of pie that was like 3/4 whipped cream. and now the entire town is gone in cinder and ashes. it breaks my heart that so many people have lost their lives and homes. sigh. I don’t know what else to say. 🎂 cake for everyone. order it online and have it delivered. with love, brl . . . . . #milkbar #birthdaycake #layercake #confetticake #sprinkles #funfetticake #funfetti #pursuepretty #dessertfirst #cakesofinstagram #dessertporn #cakeporn #cakeforbreakfast #eatcake #eatcakeforbreakfast #rainbow🌈 #joyful #joyfulabundance #livecolorfully

it was an unusually warm evening on november 10, 2016, when we said “I do, forever” to each other on the rooftop of the courthouse in seattle. swipe to see pix of before, during, and after our ceremony two years ago. 😍💍🎉🎂🥂 people always say marriage is hard... but with him, it’s nearly effortless. it’s calm, caring, supportive, full of laughter, and really good food (and sometimes pizza delivery). I hope some day you can experience love like this too. 🖤 with love, brl . . . . . . #newlyweds #newlywed #anniversary #happywifehappylife #humblebrag

say hello to your new favorite downtown Seattle restaurant: The Hart and The Hunter inside the new @palisociety hotel, right on First Ave x Pike St. the space is beautiful, quirky, and comfortable—but wait til you try THE FOOD. do you like southern-inspired food with PNW ingredients? we should meet here midweek for coffee & world famous butter biscuits to talk about our dreams (and nightmares). . . . . . #seatlewashington #seattlefood #seattlefoodie #coffeeshopcorners #seattle_igers #seattlelife #seattleblogger #hoteldesign #thehartandthehunter #palisociety #visitseattle #passionpassport #prettylittletrips #cafeculture #ourpnw #coffeeculture #avocadotoast #cafedesign #seattleeats #igers_seattle

proof of voting 🇺🇸🇺🇸 let’s hope they *actually* count my ballot this time. in november ‘16, they sent gus and I letters saying both of our signatures were invalid. at the time, I didn’t think much of it... . . . . . #everyvotecounts #yourvotematters #rockthevote #socialchange #humanrights #powertothepolls #getoutthevote #midterms2018 #midtermelections #generalelection

if you are a designer of any kind, you NEED to read this book. 🌈 “how do intangible things create an intangible feeling of joy? 🌈 joy isn’t hard to find at all. in fact, it’s all around us. though the feeling of joy is mysterious and ephemeral, we can access it through tangible, physical attributes. specifically, it’s what designers call aesthetics—the properties that define the way an object looks and feels—that give rise to the feeling of joy. but it’s far more than just decoration. they elicit a deep, emotional response. 💥💥💥💥 there are ten aesthetics of joy, each of which reveals a distinct connection between the feeling of joy and the tangible qualities of the world around us. 💥💥💥💥 AESTHETICS OF JOY energy: vibrant color and light abundance: lushness, multiplicity, and variety freedom: nature, wildness, and open space harmony: balance, symmetry, and flow play: circles, spheres and bubbly forms surprise: contrast and whimsy transcendence: elevation and lightness magic: invisible forces and illusions celebration: synchrony, sparkle, and bursting shapes renewal: blossoming, expansion, and curves 💥💥💥💥 what is the relationship between these aesthetics and our emotions? and why do these particular aesthetics stimulate feelings of joy? you have a whole world of joy right at your fingertips. there’s no method you need to learn, no discipline you need to impose on yourself. the only requirement is what you already have inside you: an openness to discovering the joy that surrounds you.” —excepts from Joyful by Ingrid Fetell Lee . . . . . #livecolorfully #joyful #currentlyreading #bookclub #whatimreading #booksofinstagram #booksofig #sundaymorning #coffeeoftheday #morningrituals #morningritual #booksbooksbooks #bookstoread #designisinthedetails #designlife #bookcoverdesign
