HAPPY.




 
  I recently watched an amazing documentary about the importance of being happy and how to find true happiness. What I loved MOST about the documentary that it was so evidence-based and gave scientific case studies and research confirming what it is that makes us humans MOST happy!

The studies they've conducted have actually proven that those who are most happy are the ones focused on accomplishing intrinsic goals (based on a desire for personal growth, building relationships, and helping and serving others) rather than those who focus on extrinsic goals (money, status, image, and popularity) and who, as a result, were depressed, lacked purpose, meaning, and had anxiety.

The ultimate factor of happiness? Love. Compassion. Building community, serving others, being kind to others. Practicing selflessness. The happiest people in the world were those who focused on doing one random act of kindness a day, to possibly someone they did not even know, and to someone whom they did not expect anything in return. It is practicing and sharing this kind of unconditional, selfless, and joyful love that makes us most at peace, most fulfilled, and most-of-all, most happy!

I've included the trailer, as well as an interview with the filmaker Tom Shadyac and Ellen Degeneres... If you get a chance to watch the documentary, I'd say it's well worth-it! Definatley a must-see that will make you feel happier just watching! ;-)

Hearst Castle

Second Stop...
The spectacular Hearst Castle! The Opulence and magnificent history of the Castle grounds are absolutley astounding.

William Hearst was a newspaper tycoon, cattle owner, and heir to one of the wealthiest men in the world. His father struck it rich during the California Gold rush, when he found not gold, but silver ore. As a child William Hearst gained inspiration when he and his young mother (19 to be exact!) traveled the world. He began collecting artwork, and by the age of his late 40s decided to build a home on the land he grew up in: The Hills of San Simeon. 28 years later, having faced seemingly insurmountable architectural obstacles, Hearst Castle was finished. Hearst originally referred to the estate as, "La Cuesta Encantada," meaning the enchanted hill.

Where Forest Meets the Sea

On the way to Big Sur, we stopped at a rest point on the side of the road. Pine trees covered the ground up to the cliffs that dropped down to the ocean. It was beautiful! I was wearing this beige lace maxi dress--I love the romantic, soft feel it gives me.

Origins

This week I had the wonderful opportunity of working with the amazingly talented young photographer, Raul Romo. I'm wearing a nude-toned jumper by LUSH. I loved how the earth tone of the suit blended with the atmosphere of the sand and rocks.




You can see more of Raul's amazing work on his Facebook or Tumblr site :)

Marianne Williamson on Forgiveness - Super Soul Sunday with Oprah Winfrey

I love this! The "Principle of Divine Compensation" means that we are blessed when we forgive and love those who offend and hurt us. Because God is our vindicator, He will give you justice in all circumstances.



"Don't snap back at those who say unkind things about you, instead, pray for them, because we are to be kind to others, and God will bless us for it." -1 Peter 3:9

The crust is made out of dates and walnuts, the filling is banana creme and coconut meat creme, and it is topped with fresh fruits: Kiwi, Blueberry, banana, and strawberry! Yummy Yum YUM!

Greystone

Six hours from the beginning of our journey we arrive to our destination-- a quintessential suburban town flanked with willow trees and mountains as the perfect backdrop for an already-picturesque scenery. We worked on the set of an upcoming movie and finished at 3 a.m!

Day two on our journey we traveled a little further to explore the historical cite of Greystone Mansion. Originally built and owned by a wealthy oil magnate in 1892, you cannot help but marvel at the history and splendor of these magnificent grounds. My camera could hardly capture the grandeur and beauty of this mansion's  magnificent lanscape and architecture.




















Here's a video of the grounds, it's a little eerie but it displays the lovely architecture and mysterious vibe the land emits.
