PRESCRIPTIONS FOR BOREDOM life : like a martini you need to shake it not stir!!!!!!!!!!!   Boredom is curable, say doctors. And you have plenty of options.   Give yourself antiboredom assignments. For generalized boredom, Dr. Braiker prescribes the following remedy: “Every day, do two things that are different from the usual–preferably, activities that you can discuss with others–like reading a news, travel or sports magazine; listening to new music or taking a class.” Make a wish / bucket list…. (or 5 different ones) this is the most important thing here….. don’t get bored with your life. change it up…you and only you can make a change. Write down new things that you would like to try- -see that new foreign movie, for example, or  take a bikram yoga class…… Think ahead. For activities that require advance planning, start now, says Dr. Lloyd. If you’ve jotted down “learn French,” for instance, pick up the...

I’ve included some images at the bottom of this that includes some of Matilda Jane’s clothes in my shoots! If you are not familiar with Matilda Jane Clothing,  the clothes are super cute and colorful, with a vintage flair. They are fun and unique- better than Anthropologie for girls.    These clothes are always on my  “What to Wear”  for pictures list.  Every little girl feels like a princess plus they are comfortable and offer lots of textures and patterns so you can mix and match with things you already may have for your girl.  Little girlies don’t get all the fun- they make cool stuff for women as well.
