I think it’s safe to say that Pinterest, hands down, has changed the motivational game. With countless inspirational quotes floating around and going viral, it’s obvious to see that we all enjoy a good reminder to be our better selves every now and then.  I can speak for the entire WOM team in saying that we sure love us some words to live by.  In fact, we have an entire board dedicated to them; the quotes that calm us, the quotes that entertain us and of course the quotes that inspire us. I’ve rounded up five inspirational quotes that are currently really speaking to me personally in the slideshow above, along with a few gifts from the Shop with great one-liners below. Do any of the quotes resonate with you right now, too?  Do you have a favorite mantra you return to, time and time again?  Cheers, Kat

BE A GIVER

BE A GIVER

I THINK BEING A GIVER CAN SOMETIMES BE ASSOCIATED WITH WEAKNESS. BUT BEING A GIVER CAN EQUAL STRENGTH TOO, AS MY MOM HAS TAUGHT ME THROUGH HER UNWAVERING CONSIDERATION AND SELFLESSNESS OVER THE YEARS. I'M STRIVING TO BE A GIVER OF THE THINGS THAT I HOPE DEFINE ME: COMPASSION, POSITIVITY AND STRENGTH.

TAKE THE STAIRS

TAKE THE STAIRS

IT'S ALL TOO EASY TO DREAM ABOUT SUCCESS, AND EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN OVERNIGHT. AS PART OF A SMALL BUSINESS, I'M REMINDED OF THIS POINT ALL THE TIME: YOU GOTTA TAKE THE STAIRS IF YOU PLAN TO SUCCEED. THERE ARE RARELY SHORTCUTS TO TAKE, AND SUCCESS WON'T JUST BE HANDED TO YOU. IT WON'T ALL BE PRETTY, AND YOU'LL FIND YOURSELF IN THE TRENCHES, BUT THE REWARDS ARE WORTH IT ALL TENFOLD.

STOP COMPETING

STOP COMPETING

WHEN DID WE ALL START COMPETING WITH EACH OTHER? IT'S WAY TOO EASY TO COMPARE OUR CRAFT WITH OTHERS', BUT IT'S ALL JUST WASTED ENERGY IN THE END. I KNOW THIS QUOTE SERVES AS A SIMPLE REMINDER TO ME PERSONALLY TO SUPPORT OTHERS, FUEL THE FEED OF INSPIRATION AND IGNITE DEEPER CREATIVITY IN THE SPACE.

LIVE MORE

LIVE MORE

MY LIFE MANTRA RIGHT NOW, THIS QUOTE PERFECTLY SUMS UP MY AIM TO LIVE MORE INTENTIONALLY. WITHOUT REALIZING IT, WE FALL INTO RUTS AND ROUTINES, BUT LIFE IS TRULY TOO SHORT TO LET THAT HAPPEN. BY CHOOSING TO WORK HARDER, EAT HEALTHIER, AND LOVE LONGER, WE CAN DISCOVER A MORE VIVID FORM OF OURSELVES.

MAKE NO APOLOGIES

MAKE NO APOLOGIES

AS I GROW OLDER, I'M FINDING MYSELF. I'M COMING TO REALIZE THAT FAULTS AND FLAWS AND ALL OF THE FEELS HELP MAKE ME WHO I AM. I'M LEARNING THAT NO APOLOGIES ARE NEEDED FOR MY PERSONALITY.

Adventure-Awaits

As I race through a travel-filled summer with already so many cherished memories I can’t help but think at every click of the camera button how will I remember this?  Sure, I’d love to hang each moment on my always expanding gallery wall, but there’s just not enough room for every framer.  And with trips to St. Simons, Chicago, Athens, and New York already on the books I’ll have my hands full with more than enough wall-worthy moments.

So you can imagine my utter delight being recently introduced to Art.com’s SwitchArt™ frames; a magnetic frame that allows you to literally switch out your art whenever your little heart desires.  Can we say game changer.  So for the rest of summer, I’ll be capturing more adventures on Instagram with the plan to showcase them all at the end of what I’m hoping will be one memorable summer.  And because adventures are usually a more-the-merrier situation I’d love for you to follow along, and tag your favorites with #SwitchArtStyle for a chance to win your own frame.  Happy trails my Loves.  Truly, MKR

After years of reading about smoothies, their full-body health benefits and just how tasty they really can be, I’m ready to pull the trigger on a blender and make all of my smoothie dreams come true.  MKR swears by her Vitamix, but I’ve heard great things about having a Blendtec too.  So naturally, I went ahead and rounded up a list of the eight smoothie recipes I’ll be trying as soon as I decide which blender it’s going to be.  First on my list, the Beet Strawberry Smoothie on slide 5.  Which recipes catch your eye? And are there any I should add to the list?  Cheers, Kat
