I’ m extending the Photograph the Ordinary Challenge until Sunday, since I know you are all busy, and I want more entries! :)

I’d love to see how your ordinary weekend looks like!

I first saw this video on See Hear Say, and in case you aren’t following that blog (you should!) I just have to repost it. I bought my very own Olympus PEN when I was in London, which makes this video even more interesting for me. I hope you like it!

I’ve got a very interesting post coming up soon, so stay tuned! And don’t forget to enter the Photograph the Ordinary Challenge!

Ps. Have you seen this amazing giveaway over at Fleur Avenue?

When browsing flickr, I realize that the photos I enjoy the most are simple photos of everyday life.

This has really inspired me to start a little photography challenge:

1. Take at least 10 photographs of something ordinary. It could be something on your desk, an item from your house, a photo from your travels to work, your family etc. Try to see what you see every day  from a different perspective. In a different light maybe? Or from another angle? Try to figure out what makes ordinary unique.

2. Chose your best photograph and post it on your blog with a description of the item/person.

3. Comment with a link to your photo. If you don’t have a blog, you can e-mail me a link to your photo at me(at)mausumi(dot)com.

The closing date is Friday March 5th at noon GMT. I’ll have the photos up over the weekend! Have fun!

I have noticed that my most popular posts are the articles I have written. These are also the most challenging posts to do, but I really do enjoy writing them! This has got me thinking, and I’m wondering if you would like more of these posts?

If you haven’t done it already, check out some of my articles to understand what I’m talking about: 10 ways to make your work day lovely, 10 tips on how to relax after a long day, How to live in the moment, How to wear interesting jewellery, and 14 Ways to Beat the Blues.

If you do want more posts like these, please tell me if there are any specific topics you would like me to cover! :)

The Sweeterie is possibly one of the sweetest blogs I have ever stumbled upon. Each post is usually a photo and a little story. The greatness of it is the simple story that says so much in so few words. And the photo is always a great source of inspiration too.

These little words make me so happy. I think it’s my new favorite blog! Enjoy!

I’m in love with the style in this Talula campaign. Anyone know where I can buy online or find a similar utility style jacket?
