Candice's Stockholm For Now

Candice is awesome. Why? Because she does whatever the hell she wants. Where is she now? Stockholm - because she wanted to move there.

Just Like That.

A fellow graphic designer, we met while working at BBDuh-Oh a couple years back. I would often poke her brain for stories of 'what and how to do it' (for example - she moved to amsterdam from san fran for a gig) and periodic career goal channeling.

So far, she's done just about everything i want to do - in the correct order! epic.

Ah well, now she's in Sweden living it up; keep it up, homie! As soon as you slow down i'll catch up.

Check out her primo blog: NewYorkForNow
Also, her craft (one of 'em): SOFT

Pick Up & Go

Never celebrated your bday as a married woman before? Here's a step by step recipe ;

1. Start the day eating pizza and drinking diet coke.
2. Do long over due laundry.
3. Tequila shots!
4. Meet up with friends for corn and beer at the Outpost.
5. Bday cake surprise. "Yum".
6. Walk to the park, watch the fire flies and make out with your husband.
7. Skip your way to Mickey D's and eat a Big Mac in less than 30 seconds.
8. Take a cab home cuz you're too full to walk now.

And more more more....
