Icelandic Chronic Bitchface

Don’t worry, this post isn’t bashing anyone! It’s about natural beauty and positive vibes…

I’ve been following Iceland on Twitter for some time now. Every now and then the bastards {marvelous souls} behind that account post the most amazing pictures and videos that make me want to impulsively buy a ticket to Reykjavik, go swim in their amazing hot springs and take a hike on Eyjafjallajokull {the volcano that spits ashes…and consonants} oh and if you still have trouble pronouncing it – here, watch this instructional Icelandic video.

The main reason I want to go is because really, those landscapes would inspire anyone. If you don’t get inspired by their beauty, there is something wrong with you and you should get your eyes checked. And your brain.

Natural beauty has the best regenerating properties; it calms your mind, cleanses your soul and recharges your creative batteries.

Here are a few of my favorite shots from Iceland taken on a trip by a great freelance illustrator – Kristina of Kris Atomic – and a few other shots from peeps on Flickr {found on her blog}. By the way, Kristina has some awesome illustrations too, one of my favorites is her ‘Chronic Bitchface‘ {are you a sufferer?}. Also, I’ll share with you a happy video that gets you in the right mood in the AM – cuz we all need happy vibes in the morning, right?

2012 might be the year that I could potentially visit this land of greatness {hopefully before the whole end-of-the-world prophecy} fingers crossed!

A huge thank you to both, Kristina and Iceland, for being so lively and inspirational. Takk Fyrir! {sophisticated, yes}
