Stuff I Love Saturday - Books for The Brilliant, Cocktail Recipes, and The Meaning of Life

I had a series for a few weeks last year that was "Things I Love Thursdays" and while that was a bunch of fun, it kind of fizzled out because Thursday tend to be a super busy day for me... but now that I'm trying to implement more time for me, I'm ready to bring back a little bit of fun to the blog and what better day to share a bunch of fun than SATURDAY?! I'm going to share Stuff I Love on Saturday's everyday for the rest of the year, whether it's a quote, an upcoming event, new fashion trends, my favorite techie bits, or whatever... You'll find my favorites here.

The meaning to life is.... 

“Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer.”
—Joseph Campbell

Looks like I have some reading to do!
