My friend Marion from Home Collection recently mentioned this blog dedicated to lists. I love lists, they really help me a lot in my daily life. This one particular list is amazing so I thought i'd share it with you (the picture also comes from Lists of Notes).

(c) Am I trying to make my body a useful instrument or am I neglecting it?
With dearest love,
