Coco Loco

So I have been hearing so much about this virgin coconut oil craze lately, that I decided to look into it myself. A little research and I found the health and wellbeing benefits are more than I could have imagined.

One of the most amazing things about virgin coconut oil is that it has multiple uses. For me, the benefits it has on my skin and hair are far beyond anything I have seen before.  Applying it topically as a body oil and moisturiser, will help to provide balance and smooth out your skin. Not to mention adding a teaspoon of brown sugar and you have yourself a delicious exfoliating scrub that is good enough to eat (I am not joking! You can actually eat it). Finally adding it to your shampoo and conditioner, allows broken or damaged hair to absorb the nutrient rich oil, adding moisture and shine. Let’s be honest, who doesn’t want luscious locks?

Chaos creates Beauty

Final-Quote---300dpi2_main

A representation of Nietzsche’s ‘You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star’ by illustrator Charlie Gardiner.

Let’s face it we are all a little bit crazy at heart. But without such craziness and moments in which we just let go and enjoy the freedom of being, we would not be able to overcome the struggles of life nor would we see humanity’s true beauty.  Let your soul wander and never settle for boring, because you are extraordinary.

Summer, Back then.

Our parents had it good. Very good. Sure there were times of turmoil and some wars that not many understood, but the seventies we’re (as most remember them) a time of fun, frivolity and fashion.

I stumbled across a photo essay today – the details of which are below, and took a few mins out to appreciate the era that was just before my time.

The project was called DOCUMERICA (1971-1977).

Created by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), DOCUMERICA was born out of the decade’s environmental awakening, producing striking photographs of many of that era’s environmental problems and achievements. Drawing its inspiration from the depression era Farm Security Administration photography project, project photographers created a portrait of America in the early-and-mid-1970s.

They documented small Midwestern towns, barrios in the Southwest, and coal mining communities in Appalachia. Their assignments were as varied as African American life in Chicago, urban renewal in Kansas City, commuters in Washington, DC, and migrant farm workers in Colorado.

you can see the ENTIRE collection over at their Flickr Page. Beautiful.

I know what you did every summer.

We’ve mentioned him before, but we’re going to talk quickly about photographer Chris Searle again. Whilst browsing through his portfolio or, more fascinatingly, his photo diary – there’s a sense of peaceful fun that comes across in every image. Not a great amount of photographers have the ability make a single image feel like an entire set, but Chris proves himself worthy of this description with ever click of the shutter.

You’ll see more of his work at the links above.
