Staying in a two-story apartment style Love Hotel
There is a perception that Japanese “love hotels” were those designed for discreet meetings for lovers, the kind of places that you can hire by the hour, which give them a slightly unsavoury reputation. Although this ultra luxurious love hotel has managed to change my mind and I would actually want to stay in one of these! I love the private terrace looking out over the Zen garden, just stunning!
Painting Bonny Prince Charlie as a Guinea Pig
This is such a sweet and gentle channel I think you will enjoy watching this artist create this painting, a great likeness and I must say that I prefer the guinea pig version to the human face. The artist Danny Banner seems like a really lovely person.
Intricate parenting behaviours of social animals
Winnie Cheche has an incredible website packed full of information about animals, conservation and how to be an effective animal and environmental advocate, read more.
Parenting in social animals is a complex and intricate process that relies on effective communication, coordination, education, and social support. By sharing parenting responsibilities, engaging in cooperative behaviours, and promoting social bonding, social animals ensure the survival and success of their offspring.

Every time that Keith Brymer Jones cried because of beautiful art on The Great Pottery Throwdown
I could go on and on and on about this show…it is incredibly special. I am not one to really watch TV at all nor reality TV shows. However, this is a show with pure heart, wholesomeness, authencity and connection at its core and it stays with you. Keith (and the equally endearing Rich) is the host of the show and when he sees the beauty and struggle of the potters and their creations he sometimes spontaneously bursts into tears, these are beautiful and authentic and real moments – in contrast to 99% of TV which is staged and fake. If you’ve never watched the Great Pottery Throwdown well you have five seasons of pure delight to look forward to.
And here is Brad Pitt gushing about how much he loves Keith crying and the Throwdown!
Small works of comforting prehistoric art worshipping the goddess
The purpose of monumental works of art is to diminish the viewer, to make the her feel small, to induce her to bow down, to worship, and to obey a power or powers greater and higher than herself.
In contrast, the small scale of the art of Old Europe does not diminish anyone or anything. Its purpose is not to make anyone one want to bow down. Instead small works of art make the viewer feel comfortable, welcomed, and part of the beauty of life that is depicted.

Bernadette Banner’s “dark academia” velvet robe
Every straight girl’s fantasy witch companion sashays around her work room in a green velvet robe looking very hot and very cool all at the same time.
Gypsy in my mind (Disco Rave Edit)
An intoxicating mix of 90’s house, with two famed songs of that era mixed together: Ella Eyre – Deep Down (feat. Never Dull) and Gypsy Woman (La Dee Da) by Crystal Waters. I like the created video clip in a loop too, that kid looks like he’s having the time of his life!
“Cottage Core” versus the American Dream
Is “cottagecore” a counterculture, or is it actually a modernized term for the classic American Dream?
The term “cottagecore” is fairly new, yet captures the meaning of something that has been around since the birth of the USA.
I used to think that I was different for being attracted to cottagecore. But recently, I’ve discovered, that this is a concept that has ingrained in American culture since the beginning of time.

The Island of the Sea Wolves
Vancouver Island in the US is a sacred wilderness for sea wolves, eagles, bears, sea otters and many other animals. This documentary allows you to get up close to these families as they struggle against extreme temperatures brought on by climate change and other seasonal challenges. This was an uplifting, gorgeous and satisfying documentary series to watch, I would highly recommend this Netflix series!
