Hectic schedules have once again taken over our lives. With a hideous amount of sleep debt accumulating, all we want to do is to cosy up with a good read for some quality me-time until we doze off into la la land. But just in case either one of us don't make it through the entire book, here are some quick read bites - just the right amount of words to induce sleep.
Happy reading! 1. A short and sweet poem to kick things off. 2. New perspective on making mistakes. 3. The potential pitfalls of working from home. 4. Hunt down a missing person with a slightly longer short read. 5. An interesting perspective from a woman of colour. 6. Simple ways to becoming more minimalist in everyday life. 7. A look behind how great television gets made. - With Love, Min+Jia.

March has been a really busy month for us. When projects and commitments start to pile up, we tend to neglect the good habits we have been trying to put in place. As a new month and a peak period approaches, we are determined to get back on track with making the right choices in our daily lives. Cheer us on!
What do you hope to achieve in April? 1. Re-embrace daily #eatclean habits - stop eating junk food! 2. Devote more time to cooking instead of relying on outside lunches. 3. Drink more water, especially during the weekends. Bring back the ice fishies! 4. Be consistent in the daily stretching routine. 5. Pull away from working until the wee hours to relax and read more. 6. Back up the work computers with time machine twice a month. 7. Get out to spend more time with family and friends. - With Love, Min+Jia. #blessed is one of the more popular hashtags circulating in the social media world and it is easy to see why. Choosing to count our blessings while remaining constantly grateful for this life we have, makes living much more worthwhile. Why get caught up with negativity when we can surround ourselves in positive and happy thoughts all day long? Life is surely too short for us to spend it unhappily.
Keeping true to our belief, here are 7 things that we are grateful and feeling #blessed for this week! 1. Peaceful start to a new day with our newfound breakfast routine. 2. Studio projects that have been keeping us busy. 3. Nice cool weather throughout the week. 4. Our kitty cats, even though they are covered in cat fleas. 5. Growing stronger and closer bonds with our cell group members. 6. Grateful for the kindness and warm generosity of the people around us. 7. Quiet reading time before bed. - How are you feeling this week? :) With Love, Min+Jia. On certain nights when all the world is getting ready for bed, we like to unwind by surfing the web for some good and fascinating reads. There’s something about the quietness of the late nights that makes web surfing so soothing. If you are anything like us, here are seven interesting links we found around the world wide web. Have fun!
What are some of your favourite sites? 1. Have you read this book? 2. We need to save our planet. 3. Great snacks for great scribblers, no, I mean, great writers. 4. Try working with some background noise; we personally love using rain, thunder, and wind. 5. Marvel at gorgeous murals. 6. Be inspired by the massive amount of beauty that is the Soho House in Barcelona. 7. How to make the perfect buttery popcorn at home. - With Love, Min+Jia. We have chosen to believe that this is a pivotal year for us. And also, that we have picked up many bad habits over the past few years. Well, there is no better time to start forming new habits than now, in the present. While compiling this list, we realised that we were both determined to work towards establishing a healthier lifestyle. After all, health is gold!

Eat a fruit daily 5. Restart daily pilates/yoga routine 6. Form a sleeping schedule, ie. sleep at 1am and wake up at 8am 7. Complete a book every fortnight - With Love, Min+Jia. |
