In honor of International Ace Day, a list of famous asexual people whose work Taylor has referenced!

I've been meaning to do this post for a long time, but it's taken some research and help from friends...and when I saw today is International Asexuality Day, I figured it was the perfect time to finally pull this together!

Salvador Dali

"And losing on card game bets with Dalí" -the last great american dynasty

Emily Bronte

There are a lot of parallels between "my tears ricochet" and the relationship between Catherine and Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights.

"May she wake in torment...Why, she's a liar to the end...Be with me always...do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you..."

"Cursing my name, wishing I stayed"

"You say I killed you -- then haunt me!"

"You had to kill me but it killed you just the same"

"I didn't want to have to haunt you"

Heathcliff secretly comes to Catherine's wake

"And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?"

J. M. Barrie - author of Peter Pan

"tried to change the ending / Peter losing Wendy"

writing about her friends' three kids (PP was written about Barrie's friend's kids)

general Tinkerbell vibes in Taylor's styling (lol)

George Bernard Shaw - playwright

So in his play Pygmalion (adapted into the movie My Fair Lady with Audrey Hepburn...just put on netflix!) Henry and Eliza have a very tempestuous relationship, eventually leading to a huge fight at the end of the play. A lot of stuff in their argument reminds me of "my tears ricochet". And it's super interesting b/c Henry seems to basically just want him, Eliza, and their other friend to just live together in some platonic arrangement. Even before that, at the beginning, he expresses that he has no interest in marriage.

(the quote or example from the play is indented, the cursive is the taylor line that corresponds!)

"This ring isn't the jeweler's, it's the one you brought me in Brighton." *Henry throws it in the fireplace*

"We gather stones...Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring"

After Eliza is transformed into a lady, she is distraught because her transformation is supposed to let her go anywhere and be anything she wants, but when she tries to go home, she realizes she can't be there anymore.

"And I can go anywhere I want / Anywhere I want, just not home"

"You have wounded me to the heart."

"And you can aim for my heart, go for blood / But you would still miss me in your bones"

"Well, you have my voice on your gramophone. When you feel lonely without me, you can turn it on!"

"And I still talk to you (when I'm screaming at the sky) / And when you can't sleep at night (you hear my stolen lullabies)"

The beginning of the ME! music video also gives me My Fair Lady vibes with the costumes and the green wallpaper...looks like Henry's library.

Isaac Newton - scientist and mathematician

my tears ricochet: a ricochet (a rebound off a surface) = Newton's Third Law (for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction)

this is me trying: "the curve became a sphere" = Isaac Newton invented calculus

John Ruskin - art critic

Ruskin was an art critic who famously had his marriage annulled because it was never consummated. He fell in love with the Lake District at a young age and was inspired by it throughout his life, eventually buying a home there in the 1870s.

Alexa, play "the lakes" by Taylor Swift!

Florence Nightingale - nurse

Nightingale was an English nurse who revolutionized nursing on the warfront. I can't help but see a parallel in the heart-wrenching

"epiphany"

H.P. Lovecraft - writer

So there's this short story called "Colour out of Space". They made a movie of it recently with Nicholas Cage lol. Basically there's this meteor with an alien virus in it that makes plants really big, then turns them to brittle ash and leaves the fields barren...."My barren land / I am ash from your fire".

This guy finds the stone and keeps it, not knowing its destructive nature.... "We gather stones never knowing what they mean"

Edward Gorey - artist

Gorey did this cartoon which really speaks for itself.

"I'm still on that tightrope" -mirrorball

Nikola Tesla - engineer

Okay, this is one I want to do more research on because there is just so much to read about this guy and his brilliance/quick mind makes me think of Taylor. But a kind of similarity I found was that he drew a diagram of a solar eclipse and ironically, three years ago, Tesla car batteries had this weird thing happen when there was a solar eclipse...

my eclipsed sun

Also, at one point, people in the press began turning against a project of Tesla's, saying it was a hoax.

your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in

Kinda goofy ones, but I thought I'd put them out there as long as I was writing something up. And I'll leave you with the most amazing thing I found about Tesla, which kind of reminds me of Taylor's love for her CATS:

I have been feeding pigeons, thousands of them for years. But there was one, a beautiful bird, pure white with light grey tips on its wings; that one was different. It was a female. I had only to wish and call her and she would come flying to me. I loved that pigeon as a man loves a woman, and she loved me. As long as I had her, there was a purpose to my life.

Anyways, happy ace day! Hope you enjoyed this! I apologize that it's messy...formatting on tumblr is not my expertise lol. it was cool to see some prolific people who were possibly ace because there's not much visibility out there.

Feel free to share any other references/people to look into!

Playlist: “Brown Eyed Blues” by Adrian Hood

On a tiresome evening and day 1000000 of missing Joon, you receive an unexpected letter...

[P.S. This is the first fic in a series I’m working on called “Bangtan Love Letters.” Hope you like it!]

6:05 PM.

 He hasn't called me or texted me. He usually calls during my lunch break because he knows how much I miss him and that his soothing voice is the only thing that gets me through my hectic work day. The fact that I haven’t heard from him all day is worrisome. I know he was still in NY today since they just finished their US leg of the tour so why the fuck hasn’t he called me?

I’m in the backseat of my Uber, stuck in traffic, contemplating whether or not to call him even though I know it’s highly unlikely he’ll answer due to their hectic schedule. I even contemplate texting Seokjin but he’ll probably just bring up the fact that I owe him homemade cookies since I lost our bet about whether Jungkook would cry at the last US show or not and I’m really not up for his mocking tone right now.

“Ma’am, we’re at your destination.” I hear my Uber driver say, bringing me out of my muddled thoughts. I quickly exit the car and walk up the steps to my apartment building, stopping at my mailbox to grab my mail and packages. That lavender oil and chamomile lotion I ordered for Joon the other day should’ve arrived. I take the elevator to the eighth floor, checking my phone every five seconds in case I missed a call or text. Nothing.

I enter my apartment and immediately charge my phone. My stress is at an all time high. I swear I’m going to kick his ass when I hear from him. I can’t live like this!

I take off my shoes, walk over to my floor to ceiling windows and open the blinds. I need some sunshine in my life at the moment. I grab my mail and packages and sit on my loveseat.

“Alexa play ‘Brown Eyed Blues’ by Adrian Hood.” I’m in the mood to feel even sadder I guess.

I decide to open my mail first and open up a few bills, ads, but then I come across a simple white letter envelope with no return address. My name and address are written in small dainty script. With a curious mind I open it carefully.

In it, is a handwritten letter. I bring it closer to me and I instantly get a whiff of his scent. My eyes get teary as I begin to read…

“My most precious sweets,

By now you’re probably wondering why I haven’t called or texted you. You’re probably sitting on your couch listening to ‘Brown Eyed Blues’ with your windows open. I wrote this letter 3 days ago knowing it would arrive today and that you’d be opening it around 6:45pm.” He knows me so well. My tears have begun to fall down my face.

“I wrote this letter as soon as we got off the phone because I instantly missed you. I’ve been gone for 3 months and it never gets easier being away from you. I was thinking back to the day we first met. It was back in 2017 right before the AMAs here in the states. You were prancing around Han River, drunk I might add, at 3 o’clock IN THE MORNING. Who in their right mind is out in Seoul at that time? Especially someone who was just visiting for a week? Now that I think about it, do you know how dangerous that is? Please don’t ever do that again baby. I’m so glad I’m the one that found you and not some creep.” I quietly laugh because at the time I did think he was a creep.

“But you looked so carefree and happy and so fucking beautiful. The moon was shining brightly on you and I could see the softness of your hair flowing in the wind as you twirled around and sang ‘Brown Eyed Blues.’ I know you don’t believe me when I tell you how beautiful your voice is but baby, that day I thought you were an angel that had come down from the heavens to explore this world. And then you messed up the lyrics, giggled loudly and almost tripped on the branches laying around and that was my chance to get close to you and be your knight in shining armor…until I also tripped and we came tumbling down on the ground. You laughed even louder thus making me laugh. But I knew, at 3:17 AM, when your face got close to mine, felt your soft breath on my neck and felt my heartstrings being pulled, I knew you were meant to be mine.” I am in full blown tears now, I get up to grab my box of tissues from my bedroom and hurry back to the couch to continue reading his letter.

“I don’t think I’ve ever told you this, but that day, at 3:17 AM, I fell in love with you. When you realized we were both still laying on the ground and that you were still in my arms, you looked up at me with those big brown eyes of yours and the world stopped for a few minutes. You slowly got up and gathered yourself, apologizing to me as if you were a burden bestowed upon me when in fact you were the greatest gift.”

I close my eyes and take a few deep breaths. He has to know that was the moment I fell in love with him too. When I calmed down from my high, and sobered up a bit from all the laughter that day, I looked up at him to find him smiling down at me with that dimple on full display. His hair, although it was mostly hidden by the big hoodie he had on, was that greyish/light brown hair I love so much and the wind was making it fall over his smiling eyes. I could feel his strength as he still held me tight in his arms. I don't know what it was, but I also felt my heartstrings being pulled. As if he was my red thread, the one I’ve been following all my life until it led me to him. 

“You stood up and held out your hand to help me up. The moment I touched your skin I felt goose bumps crawl all over me. I held your hand tightly and stood up. You looked so shy, tucking your hair behind your ears and quietly thanked me. I remember stifling my laughter because you still looked so drunk but you were trying hard to sober up, which is why I asked you out for some coffee. I was afraid you’d reject my offer seeing as I was this complete stranger but when I saw your lips form the word yes my heart burst with joy. We walked side by side along Han river until we reached a small empty café that was still open. You ordered your complicated latte but when you said no whip cream I secretly smiled knowing that you’re the type of girl that likes to be extra but yet are still simple when you get to the core. I remember talking for hours and hours until the sun rose and you finally  asked for my name. At this point I had already figured out your name but I was waiting to see if you had recognized me or not. When I told you my name, Namjoon, you rested your chin on your hand, squinted your eyes and said, ‘Namjoon? Like Kim Namjoon from BTS?’ I lifted my cup of coffee to my lips, smiled, and winked. From the few hours that we had known each other I learned you weren’t going to freak out like some crazy fangirl, but I also didn't expect your reaction of full on amazement.” I smile, remembering how speechless I was at finding out the guy who saved me from falling on my face was THE Kim Namjoon. I’m so glad I wasn't sober enough to actually freak out like the crazy fangirl I am.

“Your eyes got so big and you just said ‘wow.’ I laughed, thinking you were so adorable. When I asked you for your number, you were hesitant, but babe I’m glad you finally gave in and gave it to me. I can’t imagine what my life would be like if you weren’t in it these past two years. I know we don’t spend enough time together since I have such a hectic schedule but you never once complain about it and instead of being mad you have given me and my brothers so much love and support. I know they love you as much as I do.

You have brought so much love and happiness to my life. You are my muse. Every time I’m in the studio, you are the first thing that pops into my head when I’m writing lyrics. Every thing around me is centered around you and only you. I don’t ever want that to change.

By now, you’re probably sobbing like the big baby you are (even though you like to put up a front and act all tough).” I giggle knowing he’s right.

“I want to end with this; know that wherever I am, I am always thinking of you. I fall asleep with the image of you in my mind and I wake up ecstatic knowing you’re mine. Not a day goes by that I’m not hoping to be next to you, holding you in my arms, and breathing the same air as you. And even if I see you, I miss you. You’ve probably played ‘Brown Eyed Blues’ 15 times…but tell your Alexa to stop, and listen closely.”

 Wait what?

I tell Alexa to stop playing music. I tilt my head, wondering if I’m crazy for doing what he asked me to do via a letter. After a few seconds I don't hear anything besides the birds chirping outside my window so I finish reading the letter.

What I find in the last paragraph are the lyrics to “Brown Eyed Blues” and I faintly hear the beat of the song outside my door but I pay it no mind thinking it’s Alexa still softly playing the song.

“She’s got those eyes, those eyes,

That’ll see right through you

When she leaves,

I wanna leave with her too

And she’s on, my mind

Like all, all the time

When we touch I go weak

And I can hardly speak

And I hope she thinks about me

Cause I’m always thinking of her”

I hear someone softly singing outside my door. My heart starts to beat rapidly. I walk slowly towards it, not ready to see who's on the other side. I hold the letter close to my heart as I reach the door knob.

I slowly open the door and find him standing there with his hands inside his pants pockets. His silver hair is styled neatly. He’s wearing his Katazurizome Yukata jacket that I love so much even though I give him shit all the time about how expensive it is.

My tears don't stop falling down my face. He takes a step closer, then another one, until he’s right in front of me softly wiping my tears away. His soothing voice is still singing our song… 

“I just wanna hold her hand, be her man…” He grabs my free hand with his left and brings it to his chest, pulling me even closer to him. I let out a sob. 

“I wanna know if she’d take a chance, Cause I’m still not revealing, Cause I still get the feeling, That loving her is a game I’ll always lose, I got the brown eyed blues”

He hugs me tight, I rest my head on his shoulder freely crying like a big baby.

“I missed you. And even when I see you, I still miss you” He softly whispers in my ear.

[ranger-of-estel]

I'm abusing your talent and free time, I'm sorry! Bear with me on this one! Sara&Lisa and Laurel&Leonard friendships (but captain canary is a couple of course) 28 & 11

“Please trade secret Santa with me!”“I have no idea what to get him/her!”Captain Canary – Established relationshipLaurelis alive cause screw canon at this point.

There’s not quite as much Lisa/Sara in this one, but I write them together pretty often now so you probably wouldn’t mind a focus more on Len/Laurel.

               Leonardhas just stepped into the kitchen of Laurel’s apartment for a drink when shesteps in behind him, “Leonard, can I talk to you a second?”

               Heturns to face her, “Of course,” he tilts his head slightly, “What can I do foryou Miss Lance?” he drawls. He notes she’s fidgeting slightly; wonders if it’shim making her nervous or her topic. In the year since Sara introduced him thepair have a come a long way, she’s even stopped the distrustful glances when hemoves about unattended.

               “I waswondering if you would swap secret Santa’s with me?” she frowns, “I have yoursister, and not the most remote idea what to get her.”

               “Asmuch as I would love to help, I’m afraid I already have my gift.” It’s notentirely true, though he has picked it out. The problem lies in the fact thatshe is his Secret Santa. “But I can give you an idea of what to look for?”

               Shenods, “Yes, please.”

               Heleans on the wall opposite her, arms crossing over his chest. “Lisa’s doesn’thave to have a complex gift.” A smirk plays at his lips, “My sister enjoysthings that shine, and I’d say you know her penchant for gold.” He shrugs, “I’ve been around enough to see you have tastefulstyle, just go a little flashier.” He pushes off the wall, retuning to pouring drinksinto two glasses. “Good luck Lance,” he dips his head and then returns to themain room. He walks to where Sara and Lisa are standing together.

               Theyboth look up at his approach, “Hey Len,” Sara tilts her head, glancing toward thekitchen and back. “Everything okay?”

               “Fine,”he glances between the pair, “But why do I have the feeling you two areplanning trouble?”

               “I don’tknow what you’re talking about,” Lisa scoffs, then shrugs. “But Sara was justtelling me about a little bar that we could visit later?”

               Hesighs, offering Sara one cup without breaking his sister’s gaze. “We’ll see.” Sherolls her eyes, all three already aware that before the knight is out they willbe in the middle of a bar fight somewhere. Lisa grabs the other cup from his hands,and he gives her a disapproving glare. “That’s my drink.”

               “Hmm,”she takes a drink, lips curling up around the rim of the glass. “Thanks forsharing.”

               It’snot long after that they are all gathered in the small living room again, thistime with gifts in hand. Leonard pays limited attention for the most part, preferringto focus on the way Sara’s fingers feel tracing across his hand and forearmwhere it rests between them on the couch. Or seeing how many times he can makeher stifle laughter with whispered comments.

               “Alright,Lisa’s turn!” Felicity calls, glancing around the room.

               Laurelstands, stepping across the group to hand his sister a shimmering gift bag. Shepulls the tissue paper out carefully, followed by a black canvas with ‘Diamonds may be girls best friends; but queenswear gold’ In swooping golden font. “Laurel!” Lisa grins at the otherwoman, “This is amazing!”

               “I’mglad you like it!” the other woman chuckles, relief clear on her features.

               “Leonard,”He turns to find Sara smiling at him, small bag in hand.

               Hisfirst thought is she likely rigged the game to get his name, and it makes himsmile. He takes the bag, finding a box with a wide silver band inside. He knowswithout pulling it out that it will fit his pinky, though this one hassomething written in a text he doesn’t know.

               “Itsays Legend,” she’s looking up at him almost shyly, “figured it was about time Ireplaced Alexa.”

               “It’s perfect,”catches her lips in a chaste kiss, “Thank you.”

               “Youdone now?” Lisa asks, looking between them expectantly. Once they pull away shenods, “Good, Sara.” She holds out a wrapped box to the other woman.

               Saratakes it, “So that’s why you were being so tight lipped about who you had.” Shelaughs, easily removing the paper. Inside the box is a pair of delicate goldenhair sticks, smiling as she sees the way the light reflects off of the sharpenedside and tip.

               “Forwhen knives aren’t convenient to carry.” Lisa comments.

               “I lovethem!” Sara pulls one out, inspecting them closer as the gifts continue.

               Finallyit makes it to Laurel, surprise on her features as Leonard hands her a bag. Sheremoves the paper easily, bursting into laughter as she pulls out the white mugwith ‘Don’t make me use my lawyervoice’ in black text.

               “Lookinside,” he motions to the cup.

               Shereaches in, pulling out a delicate silver chain with a bird pendant. “It’sbeautiful.” She breathes, looking up to him with a warm gaze. “Thank you.”

               He offersan almost smile in return. “You’re welcome Lance.”

               Once giftshave all been open the group spreads out. Card games begin, a movie goes on thetelevision and everyone is chatting comfortably. “Leonard,” Laurel walks up towhere he and Lisa are talking, inclining her head slightly. “May I have amoment?”

               Henods, and Lisa shifts. “I could use another drink.” With that she walks awayfrom the pair, seeking out where Sara is mixing drinks in the kitchen.

               “Whatcan I do for you?” Len looks at Laurel curiously.

               “Nothing,”she smiles, “I just wanted to thank you.” She shrugs, “I haven’t exactly beenthe most welcoming, but you’ve more than done your part.”

               Hefeels the smirk tug at his lips. “I don’t blame you, we’ve spent our lives onthe opposite sides of the law.”

               “Maybeit’s time we stop looking at our pasts; we’re on the same team now.” She offersa hand, “What you say Snart, clean slate?”

               Hesoftens slightly, accepting the handshake. “Clean slate.”

Valuable Travel Items Everyone Will Actually Love This Year

Throughout the year, we discover many new travel items. Some things are great and some not so great. We personally used all of these and thought we would bring to you the ones that were fabulous. Many are not the typical travel items you read about so much. These are a little more unusual and probably things you didn’t know existed. Here are our top seven travel items of 2018.

ORGO Travel Organizer

The folks at ORGO are committed to finding smart solutions for small spaces. They came up with the ORGO organizer. It’s great for travel. Whether you’re on a plane, RV, cruise ship or hotel room, this organizer is perfect for a women’s cosmetics. Its innovative design is perfect for small bathrooms with limited counter space.

If you travel outside of the US, you will most likely be faced with a hotel bathroom with just a pedestal sink. That’s where the ORGO excels. You can pack all of your makeup neatly in the different compartments (2 with zippers). Then it expands from 15 inches to 36 inches to create your own tabletop over a sink. The ORGO is lightweight, durable and they make it to fit into a carry-on.  Here is a picture of us using it in a Slovakia hotel.

  Our emphasis and test were for travel items but this can also be used for everyday use and even to store craft supplies. It comes in a bunch of different colors.

  Check out the ORGO organizer here:

  EcoRaider Mosquito and Bed Bug Spray

I know bed bugs are something most people don’t want to talk about but they are a reality. It’s surprising the number of travelers we meet that have been bitten by bed bugs. With this travel size 2-ounce bottle, you can be sure that bed bugs won’t bother you. Simply spray the hotel bed and sleep sound. I know that all this talk about bed bugs is making you squirm but I have to tell you that the spray also works great on bed bug eggs. And to ensure you don’t bring any of those nasty critters home, spray it on the outside of your luggage.

EcoRaider is the only natural product that kills bed bugs with 100% efficacy, according to Entomological Society of America journal publication.

Mosquitos can be such a pain. We used the EcoRaider Mosquito repellent while we were in India for 17 days. In a country where you have to worry about Malaria, wearing a good mosquito repellent is necessary. We all know that DEET is an effective repellent but at what cost? I never liked that chemical on my skin. EcoRaider makes an effective repellent that is safe for not only you but also the environment. While in India, we never had a single mosquito problem.

Family Visit in Florida

On the way back, we stopped in Florida to see family. If you think mosquitos are bad in India, you need to be by the beach and intercostal of Florida. Our friends were being bitten like crazy whenever they had to take their dog outside. Basically, they wore long pants and a long sleeve shirt when walking the dog. They tried our EcoRaider repellent and were amazed at how well it worked. From bites to no bites. In addition, they love that it is safe for their dog.

EcoRaider Natural & Non-Toxic Mosquito & Flying Insect Killer is all you need to protect your family during the mosquito season. It has not only effectively repels, but also kills 100% adult mosquitoes instantly by contact. When applied in stagnant water, it kills 100% of existing larvae effectively but also keeps two weeks residual efficacy killing new larvae.

Eco-Friendly

All of the EcoRaider products make great travel items and are eco-friendly and non-toxic but lethal to targeted insect and pests. It does not affect humans, animals, birds, and fish. It delivers outstanding performance while being non-toxic and safety, proving that green can work effectively.

  Eustachi (Plugged Ears)

If you fly on planes, then I’m sure you’ve had plugged ears. For some people, this can be very painful and they can’t always unplug them the conventional way. Eustachi works with your body to clear your ears anytime, anywhere using just a little air. It’s all natural, safe and completely drug-free. Great for cold and allergies, flying, swimming, and diving.

Plugged ears are no fun. Especially when flying. Tina sometimes has real problems with getting her ears to unplug. We heard about this small electronic device that supposedly works miracles. The Eustachi works by helping exercise your Eustachian tubes using a little bit of air. The air is delivered into your nostril where it can reach the Eustachian tube openings. Combine that with a timely swallow and the pressure behind the ears is equalized. For some people, this could be a lifesaver for comfort.

Their website offers lots of information on the Eustachian tubes including how to videos and Eustachian tube exercises. They also have a 100% money back guarantee. So if it doesn’t work for you, no loss.

This battery operated device is small and can easily be carried in your carry on or purse which makes it an ideal pick for my travel items list.

  Travelan (Digestive Tract Protection)

The most common illness that travelers face is traveler’s diarrhea. Not something fun to talk about but when you visit other countries that may not have the same purification processes that your body is used to, diarrhea can happen. E. coli can ruin any one’s holiday. Now there’s an answer to preventing this from affecting you. Travelan is a natural dietary supplement specifically designed to reduce the risk of infection by E.coli (ETEC) as well as Shigella, Salmonella and other bacteria that cause Travelers’ diarrhea around the globe.

Travelers diarrhea is caused by the consumption of food or water infected with bacteria, these bacteria attack the intestines releasing diarrhea-causing toxins into the bloodstream. Travelan binds to E.coli in the gastrointestinal track preventing them from attaching to the intestinal wall and thereby neutralizing their ability to cause diarrhea and its associated symptoms.

Our Trip to India

We traveled to India for 17 days. Throughout this time I took Travelan as instructed. One tablet just before each meal. I did drink bottled water throughout the trip (a least that is what I was told I was drinking). And we didn’t think twice about anything we were eating. We ate in all levels of restaurants including street food. I’m happy to say that for the entire trip, I had no stomach problems. I can’t say with 100% certainty it was due to Travelan but I have friends who visit India frequently and tell me every time they visit they get diarrhea. So my faith is pretty high that Travelan works.

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials show Travelan confers protection of up to 90% against infection with the major strain of E.coli that causes travelers’ diarrhea. In addition, these trials showed a significant reduction in abdominal cramps and stomach pain compared to those who did not receive Travelan. There were no reported treatment-related side effects.

Why take a chance? Here’s where you can buy Travelan for yourself to make sure it’s one of those travel items you always have with you:

  Nixplay WiFi Photo Frame

If you travel, then I’m sure you take a bunch of digital photos. Even if you just use your phone, you end up with some great shots that I’m sure you’d love to display. Enter the Nixplay Seed 10.1 inch Widescreen WIFI photo frame. We have this frame on our desk and love it. This is nothing like the digital photo frames of the past. This has a 1280 x 800 high definition screen. It has a motion sensor on the front that will turn the frame off when no one is in the room. You load photos via WIFI from your computer or mobile device. It so simple to use. 

Originally, we were going to give this frame as a gift to my mother who lives far from us and then remotely loads photos of our trips so she could enjoy them. But, once I played with this frame for a bit, we ended up keeping it for ourselves.

Your photos are uploaded to the cloud and then the device downloads them automatically. You can create playlists and show only the playlists you want. Maybe have a playlist of your kid’s birthday parties, another for a vacation you went on.

Using the Nixplay Web app, you manage all your photos from one account. Upload photos from your social media platform, mobile device or computer and assign them to your Nixplay frame with drag and drop simplicity. It’s even Amazon Alexa compatible. So you can just tell Alexa what playlist to display.

The Nixplay comes in a few different models. I picked the narrow bezel frame and widescreen format since I shoot all my pictures in a 16:9 aspect ratio. Even though I don’t travel with it, it made my travel items list because it’s a great way to keep the last trip fresh in your mind.

  Receptra Naturals CBD Oils

You’ve probably heard lately all the hype over CBD oil. There’s a reason it’s in the news, and that’s because it’s a powerful health supplement to help you achieve optimal physical and mental performance.

CBD is the abbreviation for the word “cannabidiol” and it is one of over 100 cannabinoids you find in the hemp plant. CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid known for its positive effects on both the body and mind.

Receptra makes its full spectrum CBD oil from organic hemp grown in Colorado. Marijuana plants also produce CBD oil, but these products often have different cannabinoid profiles and are likely illegal as they regularly contain more than the legal amount of 0.3% THC. Also, don’t confuse CBD hemp oil with hemp seed oil. Hemp seed oil is a product they use in food and beauty items similar to how you would use olive oil or walnut oil.

You Won’t Get High

CBD will not get you high. Receptra’s makes their CBD oil from organically farmed hemp, not from marijuana. The cannabinoid responsible for generating notable psychoactive effects is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Hemp and marijuana are both considered cannabis. Aside from their method of growth, the big difference is that to be considered hemp, the plant must contain no more than 0.3% THC. In Colorado, where Receptra’s organic hemp is grown, the Department of Agriculture does not allow hemp with more than that percentage to be used for the creation of CBD products. In fact, they destroy any crop that tests higher than 0.3% THC.

  Full-Spectrum CBD and the Entourage Effect

Some people work best alone and others prefer to be a part of a team. CBD is a team player. Receptra full-spectrum CBD oil includes all of the cannabinoids in the hemp plant and hundreds of additional plant compounds such as vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, flavonoids, and terpenes. This creates a synergy between cannabinoids, providing the ideal environment for CBD to interact with your body’s natural receptors. This concept is called the “entourage effect.”

Pure full-spectrum CBD oil gives the body what it needs when it needs it with more effectiveness than if the CBD molecule was separated out (isolated) from all of the other cannabinoids and compounds.

How does this relate to travel? Well if you travel then you know it can be taxing on you both physically and mentally. From the long plane rides to time zone changes, all are taxing on the body. My son and I take the CBD Elite and the Plus.

It’s not always that obvious whether you see or feel an improvement. Especially when you are generally a healthy person. My son takes the CBD Elite and after about a week was noticing that he was sleeping better. Overall, we both felt more energetic and alert. I also think it helped with jet lag recovery after a long flight.

They also make one for your pets. We give our two dogs Max and Molly the Receptra Pet that has been specially formulated for your pet.

Receptra makes some other great products that help with your aches and pains and soothing your skin.

  Timeshifter (Jet Lag App)

This is a must-have app if you cross time zones in your travels. We don’t want to waste a day or more of travel trying to adjust to time zones because of jet lag. That’s why we love this app that turns advanced science into simple advice. When we follow the advice in this app, we never have a travel down day. Timeshifter is the most advanced jet lag tool in the world. It’s based on the latest research in sleep and circadian neuroscience and is used by astronauts, elite athletes, and top CEOs to perform at their very best.

You simply enter your flight itinerary into the app and it creates a custom schedule for you to follow. It’s as simple as taking small actions at specific times. I especially like that it works offline. You get alerts even when you’re on the plane in airplane mode.

You can download the app below and get one trip for free to try it out for yourself.

  Disk Drill (Data Recovery Software)

This is not really a typical travel item but I think it is very important for everyone to have software that can recover a deleted file. At some point in our lives, we will delete a file (maybe a photo) by accident. Wouldn’t you like to have the ability to recover that file? With Disk Drill, you can recover a deleted file on a Windows or Mac computer. This simple to use software scans your hard drive or thumb drive and displays all the files it is able to recover. Then a one-click recovery makes it simple to use.

Disk Drill offers a basic free version so there’s no reason not to have this software. You can also upgrade to the pro version to give you more capabilities and peace of mind.

Here is where you can download the software now:

The best of 1960s fashion and the icons who helped shape it

http://fashion-trendin.com/the-best-of-1960s-fashion-and-the-icons-who-helped-shape-it/

The best of 1960s fashion and the icons who helped shape it

If buying into a certain prim look à la Dior was a big hit for 1950s fashion, the sartorial rule book was completely thrown out in swinging sixties. From Brigitte Bardot‘s beehive to Mary Quant’s geometric prints, every 1960s fashion icon contributed their own signature style to the decade (a theme that continued well into 1970s fashion and beyond). It was the era of the girl group, the gamine supermodel and the original IT-girls, who are still inspiring this generation’s Alexa Chung et al.

After a decade of cinched waists, full skirts and impeccable hair and makeup, many fashion traditions were broken in an act of rebellion, mirroring the momentous social and political changes of the decade. It was the era where no skirt was too short and no beehive too high. Today, we can thank the decade for culottes, geometric prints and boxy silhouettes.

From the sixties’ answer to street style stars to the key fashion designers, consider this everything you need to know about the style defining era.

The wealthy socialite, toast of the New York art scene and a certain Andy Warhol’s muse, Edie Sedgwick was the original IT girl. The essential ingredients of her good-girl-gone-bad aesthetic were lashings of eyeliner, chandelier earrings, mini mod dresses with sheer black tights and a crop of platinum hair – one day to be celebrated by Sienna Miller in the film Factory Girl.

Twiggy’s 1960s fashion

No 1960s fashion round-up would be complete without mentioning Twiggy, real name Lesley Hornby. Bob hairstyles were huge for 1920s fashion, but this girl cemented an even short hairstyle‘s place in history – the pixie crop. One of the greatest muses of all time, Twiggy quickly rose to supermodel fame, thanks to her paint ’em on thick eyelashes and the boyish style celebrity hairdresser Leonard chopped for her in ’66. Almost overnight she became the face of the decade; instantly recognisable, she’s been immortalised on everything from Andy Warhol screen prints to M&S shopping bags.

Anita Pallenberg and the Rolling Stones 1960s fashion

The biggest style influence on the Rolling Stones, archetypal rock chick Anita Pallenberg just so happened to have flings with half of the band’s members. Her quintessential rock chick look of thigh-high boots, fringing and skin-tight prints still serves as a source of inspiration for the band and all our wardrobes.

Mary Quant’s 1960s fashion

Not only was Mary Quant a 1960s fashion icon in her own right, she brought the era’s greatest trends to the wardrobes of the masses from her shop on the King’s Road. The mini skirt, hot pants, coloured tights and plastic macs – we owe them all to design pioneer and epitome of sixties style, Quant.

Jackie Kennedy’s 1960s fashion

Before Michelle Obama and Samantha Cameron, there was Jackie Kennedy Onassis. The original fashionable First Lady managed to maintain her impeccable style throughout her time in the White House, even as she lived through tragedy. Jackie’s prim skirt suits, pillbox hats and super-sized dark glasses made her the style inspiration for women across America. The pink suit she was wearing on the day of her husband’s assassination has gone down in history as one of the most iconic outfits of all time, and is a staple 1960s fashion look.

Audrey Hepburn’s 1960s fashion

How do we love Audrey Heburn’s amazing 1960s fashion and style? Let us count the ways… First it was that 1961 Breakfast at Tiffany’s that put little black dresses back on the fashion map, teamed with movie star shades and a top-handle bag which won over our hearts. Then came the off-duty style game; she was an utter champion of chic capri pants and ballet pumps. Oh, Audrey…

Jean Shrimpton’s 1960s fashion

In 1960, Jean Shrimpton brought the fashion world to a halt. Unlike the more voluptuous models of the 1950s that came packaged with stiff aristocratic poses, this leggy British brunette broke the modelling mould entirely with her super slender frame. Jean paved the way for fellow free-spirited waifs such as Twiggy and Penelope Tree, and eventually Kate Moss and co., who spearheaded the grungy 1990s fashion aesthetic we still love.

Dusty Springfield’s 1960s fashion

Big eyes, big hair and an even bigger voice, Dusty Springfield rocked a blonde wig and a column dress like no other (this pink lace number is particularly dreamy).

Mia Farrow’s 1960s fashion

The (even shorter) elfin crop was made famous by Mia Farrow in the late 1960s and still continues to inspire the hair world today. The Rosemary’s Baby star and former wife of Frank Sinatra was an icon of the era, always adding a playful touch to her looks and paving the way for the likes of Alexa Chung with her Peter Pan collar dresses and off-beat shoe pairings. A fairly popular feature of 1940s fashion, Peter Pan collars really took off in the sixties.

The Supremes’ 1960s fashion

Long before Destiny’s Child made fashion and music collide, there was The Supremes. From all-sequin gowns to matching skirt suits (not to mention those incredible beehives) their impeccable matching style led the way for girl-groups and musicians the world over.

Tippi Hedren’s 1960s fashion

Hitchcock heroine Tippi Hedren made one of the most famous roles in film history look effortlessly stylish and poised, thanks to her neat blonde ‘do and ladylike skirt suits. Legendary costumier Edith Head was the woman behind her now-famous looks in The Birds, ensuring she was timelessly elegant and understatedly glamorous (even when running screaming from a flock of birds).

Jane Birkin’s 1960s fashion

Trends come and go but we will never tire of Jane Birkin’s style. The free-spirited Blow Up actress’ penchant for care-free classics and her laissez-faire spirit earned her instant world recognition in the sixties, while her gap-teeth and quirky French-meets-British dress sense charmed Serge Gainsbourg.

We love the fact she carried basket bags before they became a major trend circa SS17.

Patti Boyd and Mary Quant 1960s fashion

Patti Boyd’s enchanting modish style, flippy hair, and endless legs ensured she was the inspiration behind some of the greatest hits of the 60s. The former wife of both Eric Clapton and George Harrison was the quintessential sixties beauty and a favourite of Mary Quant – she was quite the unsung style hero of the decade.

Cher’s 1960s fashion

With her blunt bangs, kohl-rimmed eyes and a love of outlandish prints and the widest of flared trousers, Cher was a certified sixties icon. The then other half of Sonny and Cher led the way with the bold and the daring, and launched the hippie look with cool, Californian style. Kim Kardashian is one of her most famous fans.

Yoko Ono’s 1960s fashion

Yoko Ono has never done colour. From her private wedding to one of the most defining moments of the 60s, the John Lennon and Yoko Ono bed-in, the petite artist championed a head-to-toe white aesthetic. Wide-brimmed hats and knee-high boots were her signature accessories during this defining decade.

Marianne Faithful and Mick Jagger 1960s fashion

With Mick Jagger her arm candy and swinging mini dresses her go-to, Marianne Faithful’s style was one of the most desired of the 60s. Her love of over-sized sunglasses, the shortest of minis and full, choppy bangs – all rounded off with a heavy rock ‘n’ roll attitude – are just some of the reasons she inspired some of the Rolling Stones’ biggest hits including You Can’t Always Get What You Want, Wild Horses, and I Got the Blues.

The Ronettes’ 1960s fashion

There were a million girl groups in the sixties, but The Ronettes were by far the one of the coolest and sexiest of the bunch. At the heart of their look was the standard-issue mascara-and-miniskirt uniform but taken to new extremes. Skirts were super tight and eyeliner was flicked so high it disappeared into their bangs.

Jane Fonda 1960s fashion

Before the many workout videos and leotards that defined 1980s fashion, this actress was helping to shape sixties glamour. While off-screen, Jane Fonda’s style was all American girl, but on-screen she took the lead in the space age cult-classic Barbarella. By doing so, she created one of the most iconic images of sixties cinema that would influence fashion for many years to come.

Brigitte Bardot’s 1960s fashion

You might say that BB set the French fashion style rules. The world-famous French bombshell’s style was unabashedly sexy and would define 1960s fashion forever. She made messy, piled-high up-dos the hair of choice, and every girl wanted a piece of her signature confidence. Who knew that perfectly un-perfect, slightly parted fringe would still be so sought-after more than 50 years later?

Catherine Deneuve 1960s fashion

Another chic French dresser, Catherine Deneuve shot to fame in the 1960s, marrying fashion photographer David Bailey and becoming the muse to Yves Saint Laurent. It was her role in Belle de Jour, in which she played a prostitute by day and a frustrated housewife by night, that turned her into a bonafide icon – if only for the incredible clothes.

Nancy Sinatra’s 1960s fashion

If ever a song – and singer – could symbolise the style of the era, it was Nancy Sinatra’s hit single These Boots Were Made For Walking. With her tousled blonde hair, shortest of mini dresses and ability to pull off a pair of knee-high boots with aplomb, both the song and Nancy’s look were emblems for the decade.

Paulene Stone and David Bailey 1960s fashion

Former magazine cover girl Paulene Stone may not be as well-known as other models from the era, but her style was certainly what everyone wanted. The statuesque beauty embodied the ‘swinging London’ vibe of 1960s fashion more than any other, and her work with David Bailey is what the photographer has attributed to kicking off his career in 1960.

Marsha Hunt 1960s fashion

Singer and novelist Marsha Hunt shot to fame when she played Dionne in the smash musical Hair and posed nude for the promotional images. Famed for her huge afro hairstyle, which provided one of the most iconic images of the sixties, the former Marc Bolan and Rolling Stones muse is also renowned for her rock-chick-meets boho mix of daring leather hotpants and floaty maxi dresses.

Veruschka’s 1960s fashion

Shot by Avedon, Irving Penn and Helmut Newton, Veruschka is the splashy German model who landed her first major magazine cover in 1963. All legs, eyes and lips, she exuded sex appeal and lead style in a new direction for 1960s fashion, by pioneering a new ‘skinny chic’ ideal.

Barbara Hulanicki 1960s fashion

Barbara Hulanicki opened the doors to her cult Biba boutique in 1964, a defining moment for 1960s fashion. The shop was renowned for its decadent Art Nouveau interiors, and soon became a hip hangout for artists, actors and rock stars including Mick Jagger and David Bowie. Known for her affordable velvet trouser suits and unisex T-shirts, the shop maintained steam until 1975 when it eventually shut its doors. After its closure, Hulanicki stepped away from the Biba label, but remained in the fashion industry, working with brands such as Cacharel.

SIRI’S Now not EVEN THE Satisfactory IPHONE ASSISTANT ANYMORE

APPLE’S SIRI May is not the maximum successful voice assistant, or the most cherished. Within the race to dominate the next technology of interfaces, though, Siri had one key benefit: a cushy domestic on hundreds of hundreds of thousands of iPhones. Now, but, Amazon has snuck Alexa onto iOS—making this look increasingly like a blowout.

                                       PHONE ASSISTANT

Iphone 5c

What makes Alexa on iOS so exciting isn’t just that it’s there, however in which. There has been already an Alexa app, a rudimentary application that permits customers fiddle with the settings on their Amazon Echoes. And there were a handful of 0.33-party paid apps that delivered a few Alexa voice capability to the iPhone. Now, even though, Alexa will live within the principal iOS Amazon app, one of the maximum famous downloads Inside the entire App Keep.

That puts iPhone and iPad owners simply faucets away—one to open the Amazon app, the next to activate the microphone—from a voice assistant that doesn’t simply rival Siri but surpasses it in sizable approaches. Alexa’s popularity ought to already be giving Apple fits. Now it’s coming from within the phone.

With the Assist Folks that are acquainted with Siri however Now not other voice assistants might have the wrong impression. Even as Siri predated the rise of Alexa and Google Assistant, it hasn’t managed to hold up with their evolutions. Siri may be beneficial for brief-burst desires, however, it’s additionally sluggish, and constrained, and albeit sort of dumb.

Nearly all of these competencies will come to the iPhone as nicely, in addition to being able to summon up songs from Amazon Track or concentrate on books for your Kindle series. Alexa can control your clever home, take a look at the visitors, or give you an information briefing, all from inside the Amazon app. And yes, you may order Trolls sticker books, too. (Google Assistant lives on iOS as properly, as part of its Allo chat app, however, it’s No longer voice-friendly, and no one makes use of Allo.)

“Frankly, I’m amazed Apple allowed it,” says Forrester Research analyst James McQuivey.

And Not even as a separate app. Amazon’s purchasing app, already a top destination, now turns into a Worm for Amazon’s most promising product in years. Stop in to test the day by day deals, and get acquainted with the maximum fully shaped voice assistant accessible At the same time as you’re at it. may as nicely order an Echo or Dot or Faucet Even as you’re in there. The Hearth smartphone may additionally have fizzled, but who desires it whilst you’re at the iPhone 7?

Recruiting Season That’s the idea, besides. And whether or not it really works will decide Alexa’s fortunes greater than it might first appear.

“Getting on smartphones has always been the biggest roadblock to Alexa turning into truly useful as a private assistant because a private assistant which can’t depart the house isn’t an awful lot good when you’re out and about,” says Jan Dawson, founder of Jackdaw Studies. Alexa does extraordinary at controlling your lighting fixtures, however except Amazon can study greater approximately how you spend the rest of your day, it’s going to have a tough time keeping up with Google’s ubiquity, or maybe Apple’s hardware dominance. Siri can’t do much now, but it’s simply an overhaul away from offering real overall performance opposition.

Which receives to any other roadblock Alexa will run into. It is able to be handier than Siri by using a mile, but being even two faucets makes it substantially much less convenient.

“I’m Now not satisfied that humans will either need to open a shopping app to apply a digital assistant or, for that count, need to open an app in any respect,” says Dawson.

In any case, you can summon Siri with one button-push. With the rollout of Google Assistant, Pixel and Nexus proprietors can chat up Google Assistant without touching the display screen in any respect.

Nonetheless, it looks as if a truthful fight. In a single nook, it’s hit-or-miss Siri you may summon without breaking a sweat. Inside the different, the High-quality voice assistant on the market—Jeopardy covered—lurking in an app you discover yourself in pretty frequently besides.

Asistir in Spanish

No matter whether you use Alexa on iOS, the maximum outstanding thing is which you’ve now were given the choice. And if that conjures up Siri to in the end play a few capture-up, well, all of the higher.
