Monday Morning Inspiration

posted: 1 year ago

Smiling Breakfast

The Independent on Sunday published its Fifth Annual Happy List yesterday. May we all take a moment to glean some inspiration: inspiration on how to overcome hardship, and maybe even inspiration on ways we, too, could give back.

As the article in yesterday's paper said about those included:

"They include the woman who lost her sight on her wedding day 47 years ago and has campaigned for blind people ever since; the 91-year-old who raises money for charity by wing walking; the former gang member now helping young people avoid a life of crime; the victim of domestic abuse who went on to found three refuges and a helpline; the Bristol foster parents who have given homes to 150 children; and the teenager who survived 23 operations and founded her own charity for sick children."

Read the article here.

See the full list here.

The list was started as an antidote to the Sunday Times Rich list. If you just can't help yourself, the Sunday Times Rich list will be published on the 29th of April, 2012.

Five of the Best

Things we love, things we want, things we want to do, and things we think are just cool, interesting, or at least noteworthy.

  1. Awesome, overnight hair rollers are back! (It's so 1985 all over again.) Only now they're available in different shades to, well, match your hair. Whatever. You'll look great in the morning.
  2. At a loss for Father's Day (16th June)? If he likes Burgers & Beer, Cheese & Ale or Steaks & Wine, then click here.
  3. Summering in England got you down? Relish in these weekend spots. You'll be putting in for a transfer to New York in no time.
  4. If you wish you lived in a luxurious, hip barns like we do, then you'll want to click here to find out about renting one for a self-catering holiday.
  5. We haven't exactly fact-checked this Abercrombie & Fitch slam, but we're certainly open to it (and think you should be, too).
