Drinking Out of Cups

Check out this recording of a guy who was locked in a closet on an acid trip. When his friends got a hold of it they put a video around his voice in their interpretation of what he was seeing. Funny, not safe for work!

Lavender

What girl doesn't love Lavender? The aroma, color and simplicity is timeless! One of my top wish list destinations is Provence, France. I once read that the people of Provence sleep better because of the numerous fields of lavender. Here are some beautiful images inspired by Lavender, and below that is a recipe for Lavender Sugar Cookies, which I found on lavenderchick.blogspot.com!
