I’ve known of Carl Gustav Jung for a long time, his name and work inevitably came up in any Philosophy and Psychology classes I took in high school and college. I have even loved some of his quotes for a while, but it was recently while gathering some of my favorite quotes, that seeing them all together and realizing how many of his quotes really connect with me that a deeper curiosity about him and his work really ignited. So, I started doing a little research on him and found even more to love. His work is vast and since I haven’t read it all, I can’t claim to agree with that I don’t know, meaning I can’t surely say I’d agree with completely all of his ideas and philosophies. However, most of the bits and pieces I have read I was able to relate to, deeply. A lot of what he wrote about and believed in, I have found to be true in my own experience.

Beautiful Canvas
Well, as I mentioned on my welcome to the blog, I had been planning all along to post about anything that I found interesting or worth sharing, and although so far my posts have been pretty consistently fitting of a “pondering about life” type of category, this post is about beauty and makeup, thus directed to all you pretty girls out there.
I Heart Mexico
Graffiti on sidewalk in Colonia Roma
Sorry I was absent from the blog the past couple of weeks, but I am happy to confirm I’m still alive! I just took a little vacation to Mexico City last week, and even though I left for just one week, preparing for the trip and recuperating from it always takes time, at least for me anyway. However, this little vacation was more about spending time with loved ones and attending one lovely wedding, than about touring around the city.
I have toured the city several times before, in fact I lived there for a year a few years ago, but still I had planned to do it again on this trip; first, just because I love doing it, the city is beautiful, full of history, idiosyncrasies and fascinating sites; and then, because I wanted to take pictures of it all to share with you guys; but things didn’t go as planned… not that I’m complaining, it was wonderful to catch up with friends and family. Nevertheless, my friend Salvador, who lives in Seattle, but also happened to be in Mexico City last week, came to the rescue of my picture sharing plans. He is quite the photographer and took some wonderful shots of his adventures around the city, and has been kind enough to let me share some of them with you here. So, once again it all worked out for the best, because my amateur little pictures wouldn’t had been half as good as his.
So here I leave you to enjoy his skillful photos… plus some I took at the aforementioned lovely wedding, which were the only pictures I manage to take the whole time I was there.
