Perfecting the Art of Conversuasion
It’s easy to pretend you fit in. It’s easy to blend in with the crowd. But sometimes, it’s just easier to be yourself.
“Be A Fruit Loop In A World Of Cheerios” hand stamped recycled vintage silverplate cereal spoon, $19.99 CAD from www.etsy.com.
Know someone who’s graduating this year? I think this makes a unique, functional and inspirational gift that will serve as a sweet reminder every single morning. Because the world needs more fruit loops.
Picture it: You’re scrolling through your Facebook news feed, and someone posts an update that includes an infographic. It may be funny; it may be inspirational, it may be downright timely due to current events. And when you see it, it speaks to you… and you must.click.LIKE.
That’s me. That’s usually how it goes. And that’s why I was in trouble while I shopped online at Chapters Indigo yesterday. You see – I’m a huge fan of inspirational quotes, and any time I find one of my favourite sayings emblazoned across a decor item, I simply must have it. Hence, I was in full-on shopaholic mode as I was confronted with an abundance of intellectual artistry. Here are some of my favourite pieces:
Designed in-house and exclusive to Indigo, their new mugs are generously sized with a comfortable handle to make them an instant favourite. Love the whimsical sayings – an especially pleasant way to greet a new day.
The mugs retail for $10.00 each, which is fabulous for gift giving, especially when stuffed with gourmet candy! In addition to Good Morning Beautiful, there’s Good Morning Handsome – and I think the pair makes a perfect housewarming gift for a newly married couple. Now who’s getting married?? I need to gift this!
I also adore the decorative pillows – not so much for the colours or prints, but for one very heartfelt saying that I now have tattooed on my brain: “Collect Moments, Not Things”.
They’re a *teeny* bit more expensive than I’d like to see at $39.50. However, I am very patient in my shoppertunistic ways and have no problem waiting for them to go on sale. Often, Chapters releases coupons for 25% off one item. Looks like I’ll have to build my inspirational pillow collection one item at a time!
Finally, these prints are on sale right now – 50% off – which means that I’ve already purchased one, of course. And I can’t wait for it to arrive! Yes, “Good Things Come to Those Who Hustle” will forever have a place on my office desk. Because it’s all about the hustle. It’s all about getting off your a** and making things happen. It’s all about working hard. I LOVE it.
