Sunday Inspiration: Volume 1.33

For the most interesting woman in the room; designed to bring more depth, intention, and luxury into your week

Sentiment of the week: “When women lose themselves, the world loses its way. We do not need more selfless women. What we need right now is more women who have detoxed themselves so completely from the world's expectations that they are full of nothing but themselves. What we need are women who are full of themselves. A woman who is full of herself knows and trusts herself enough to say and do what must be done. She lets the rest burn.” ― Glennon Doyle, Untamed

Here’s what is currently inspiring us: The avalanche of our emotions - how they rise, plateau, dip, spike, and settle; how we ride them with our intuition, with our wounds, with our awareness; how we move through those sticky moments back to our highest alignment, the sweet abyss and relaxing disorientation of the upcoming holiday week, these silk pants, morning meditations, a 15-minute at-home pilates workout, drinking warm water and lemon first thing in the morning, reclaiming our creativity, these ballet flats, doing less in pursuit of what is truly necessary and right for each of us as individuals, Picasso’s blue period, the power of verbally processing with a dear friend, a nourishing body care routine, not knowing the outcome but pursuing the destination regardless of that fact, reflecting on how far you came this year, starting new year habits today, family movie marathon days, prioritizing your nervous system.

What we are consuming this week:

Podcast: The Body Language Expert: Stop Using This, It’s Making People Dislike You, So Are These Subtle Mistakes! Your Resting Face Matters & How To Fix It! on The Diary of a CEO

Article: The Editorialization of Brand Social - Undivided Attention by Kristen Vinakmens

Song: Wild Horses by The Rolling Stones

Brand of the week: The moment we laid eyes on the Ramil leather shoulder bag - black! croc leather! embossed! - it was a love affair that quickly deepened. Unlike quick love affairs, ours was not quick. The more we dove into the world of Malene Birger, the more permanent our love grew. For the critics who believe quiet luxury to be too simplistic without a specific point of view but who adore a more minimalistic wardrobe with a ten percent bohemian flair, Malene Birger is awaiting you. Animal prints done tastefully, structural bags that are draped in chicness, and outerwear that guarantees sophistication. On our Malene Birger wishlist: this bag, this dress, this trench.

Ritual to implement: Entering the shower as an energetic cleanse. Knowing that at the end of the day - or at the beginning! - there is the opportunity to not just clean our physical vessels but our spiritual, emotional, and mental vessels as well. Practice ritualistically washing away your limiting beliefs, stagnant energies, fears, doubts. A daily cleanse that can give a mundane chore enriched meaning.

Home of the week: This sustainable home in São Paulo, Brazil blends architecture with the surrounding nature.

Architecture by: Bernardes Arquitetura. Photography by Fernando Guerra. Featured in Architectural Digest.

Nostalgic for: The Tumblr days. The poetry of it all. The early internet of it all. The aesthetics of it all.

Question to ask yourself this week: What is currently going right in your life?

Have a beautiful week. Until next Sunday.

Sincerely,

The REVUE Team
