Lakes & Reservoirs is beautiful photography series by Matthew Brandt. The icing on the cake? Brandt uses water from the location where the photo was taken during the development process. The chemicals and minerals present are what give each photo its distinct colors and look.

I have not been gifted with patience in this life. I try to keep calm and collected, but more times than not it ends with me yelling obscenities in my car or in my head. Sometimes I even make up my own combinations from different parts of words, that part’s just a gift. Citations for Real Life is the perfect fit with notes for coworkers, neighbors, parking, cell phone usage, and grammar. Choose from 20 different citations and get the weight of bearing someone else’s stupidity off your shoulders.

The past few summers – and who knows how many before that – have been swept up in a frenzy of popsicles. (As evidenced here and here.) No one can seem to get enough, and the migration of Mexican paletas making their way further north is only driving the craze.

ARWEY was kind enough to send me one of their well-thought out, well-designed notebooks. Being the multi-tasker that I am, I went with the Lewitt in bright red. (Although maybe I should have gone with the fuchsia. Oh, decisions.) The set-up is really nice. On the left of the trifold is a blank paged notebook, the center houses an expandable pocket along with a pen/holder and business card slot, and on the right sits a lined notebook. The entire thing binds together nicely with the aid of an elastic band. I think my favorite part is the vivid canvas cover – it makes the entire thing tougher for me to lose in my bag, a job in itself. ARWEY just launched their new site with lots and lots of fantastic notebooks and organizational tools, check it out.
