Catching My Eye 11: igloos + mushrooms + no pants

Oh man guys. School is getting to me already and I've only had three days. I drank my first cup of coffee, EVER last night. I hate caffeine so much but I just had to. Sigh. So just a heads up, that I won't be posting 7-8 times a week like I have the last few months, but it'll be at least 4-5. I'll be here y'all!

Now for my favorite links of the week:




♥The igloo hotel in Kakslauttanen, Finland. Get up close and personal with the northern lights. Yes, please!

Built from a special thermal glass the temperature inside the igloo always stays at a normal level. It also prevents the glass from not getting white frosted, hence keeping the view clear even when the temperature outside drops to under -30°C. Every igloo is equipped with a toilet and luxury beds. On every evening a hot sauna and a refreshing ice hole are waiting for you.

Eight things I learned from 50 naked people. (And no, not me, the author)

♥This awesome video of what women have looked like through the centuries.



♥Super cool pictures of bioluminescence in action

♥Jasmine shares fall television shows you should be watching.

The awkward years project:

Remember the years between being a cute kid to the awesome person you are today? I'm talking about your awkward years. I want to share a collection of people sharing their most awkward years and show how great of people they turned out to be. To all of you who are struggling out there, and those that love before & after portraits, this project is for you!

♥Goodreads's list of Movers & Shakers every month always brings me some of my favorite new reads.

♥Kayte makes it easy with seven tips for travelers.

Chefchaouen, Morocco

♥My favorite tumblr for travel pictures: Exquisite-planet.

Lena Dunham's awesome response to her no-pants critics. #thightstillidie

  1. Mmm. How I would love to stay in those little igloos.
    Hot tub, here I come.

    And I watched the video of the woman evolving over time.
    I have to say, it was pretty cool - and I was disappointed with all the super negative comments. People disappoint me.

  5. I know right? I read those and I was like come on guys...she must have spent SO many hours making that and they're complaining that she didn't portray black women or other groups. Seriously.


    Anyways, I'm glad you thought it was cool too!

  8. Oh I've seen the Northern Lights just not like that. I lived in Minnesota and we'd see them maybe every three or four years. And then two years ago on a trip to south France, our plane flew over Iceland at maybe 3 in the morning and we saw the Northern Lights from the plane. I think that was my favorite part of the trip--even more than France itself!

  9. You're first cup of coffee... welcome to the beginning of the end. Seriously, I did exactly the same thing and now I need one in the morning just to get my head together, haha.

    Oh my goodness I love Lena Dunham! Girls is my favourite show at the moment, I'm sad we have to wait til 2014 for the next season. I am happy to see her thighs til she dies! I just love the positive self image she puts out there and how she isn't worried about an unflattering view, lighting, scene, etc.
    She's a one in a million kind of woman.
