There’s nothing I appreciate more than turning a corner to find street art. Upfest is a three-day event that draws (pun intended!) over 250 artists to paint 30,000 sq ft of surfaces in Bristol, UK. Such a cool event!

The world’s best travel jacket by Baubax
If you haven’t heard already, this is most funded clothing project in the history of crowdfunding! What is it? A travel jacket that comes in four diferent styles (sweatshirt, bomber jacket, with a built in eye-mask, inflatable neck pillow, gloves, multiple pockets for everything (ipad, passport, wallet etc), a drink pocket, and headphone holders. When I first read about BauBax, they were at $2.4M of an original $20,000 goal. Flash forward less than a week, and it’s at $3.35M!

Vegetable Ramen by The Woks of Life
Thanks to Buzzfeed, I found this amazing food blog, The Wok’s of Life. Their photos are drool-worthy, and the three recipes I’ve made so far have been delicious. The fresh veggies in this recipe really enhance the flavors of the ramen and the best part is you get to use whatever vegetables you have in your kitchen. I subbed green beans for the snow peas…yum!
Have an amazing weekend!
