☆ FakKit ☆ Part#3

Since I wrote the first post about the easiest and cheapest way to be happier in life {{Fakkit}}, I have been keeping my ears open and discovered lots of funny things I am now going to share with you. I didn't fully watch the video when I uploaded it in the previous post, so I didn't notice the website it was referring to: www.thefuckitway.com >> Awesome!! I had no idea this whole thing existed.
Browsing the website, another amazing thing popped out: the F**k It Retreat in Italy!!
So, as you can see I am not the only one advising this as spiritual therapy :)
In my Economizer opinion, I think I'll apply the Fakkit theory in the comfort of my home or at the nearest beach or wood. For me walking in the nature or engaging in any crafty/creative activity are good ways to get detached from the daily routine. Cheap.

☆ FakKit ☆ the Economizer way to be happy in life - Part#2

I told you I was going to look for info to back up my Fakkit theory.... well this morning a supercool friend of mine {{check his website for lots of funky stuff}} has posted this video on Facebook. When I saw it I thought "It can't be! It says the same sh*t I vomited in my Fakkit post!!". Thus I am not the only one embracing the ☆ FakKit ☆ philosophy, which I am really glad about. Of course now that I am aware of the existence of this discipline I will look for more info and support it as much as I can!!



Happy to support my thoughts, I wish all of you a very happy Sunday ☆

Blue Strings

The sea had big waves
Kitesurfers were riding along the shore flying like birds without home.
Silent steps besides her, walking with a stick in the hand,
plowing the sand leaving behind a wake of strings and curls and shapes.
The noise of a camera shutter, a pose and a smile, laughters.
A forgotten umbrella buried in the sand, pieces of a torned apart flag,
the beginning of a moment that would never end.
Hidden in the dunes, forgotten by the time, rocked by the wind.
Lovers, accompained by the sound of the sea,
tight, intertwined, creating blue strings.

New banner ♥ kawaii !!!

Step by step I will completely change my blog look.. as promised. I have been looking around for templates, but I really don't like any. I noticed the nicest one are on sale which is ok for people that can't design a blog, but I can, I am just too lazy to get around it. So I thought... ok, what is the first thing I can change without too much complication?! The banner. Yes because I have lots of ideas for the background, but I need to work on those, while the banner was easy. I used photoshop brushes from people I will now give credit to, one by one. I know PS quite well, as you can see from the very first posts in this blog (2005 or so) were mostly links to PS tutorials, and web sources. Fact is, because of my RSI I usually don't get to spend much time on graphic as I used to. But here it is, my first kawaii banner. I decided I wanted a kawaii - anime banner because I have been looking at manga cartoons since I am a little child. They shaped the way I think and therefore play a huge role in my non-sense. They are probably even the cause of it... I remember a specific cartoon, named Arale Norimaki where everything talks, even a poo! Yep.. a talking poo. A quite cute one too. Just to make you understand where some non-sense can come from. This said, I love anime, manga, kawaii and whatever cute thing that is produced in Japan.
Back to the banner credits.. {{always credit back the nice people that share their creations and ideas with you}}
♥ super cute piggy from Gray Megumi
♥ kawaii cloud from Mistress Mariko
♥ nice windy dandelions by e.derby
The rest was pretty much made by me.. I should download some cool font, used to have many but then formatted my PC and lost a lot. But so far I like it, and it can be a nice temp-banner, till I figure out the final blog look.
Hope you like it! ☆ Shine On ☆
