Time Out Tuesday with Lucy!

Meg Park knows how I feel in the mornings.

Good afternoon, Pineapples! :D

I've always wanted to say that. 

How's it going out there, on the internet? Y'all having a good Tuesday so far? How about a reward for making it past Monday? Here! Have some lovely, sweet links! And take a little Time Out. (Though not the kind SKemp was referring to! Yes, the fun kind of time outs!) 

Huzzah!

& Kat, pink-haired genius of Rock-n-Roll Bride, writes brilliantly about The Art of Self Confidence.

& NYLON has a fantastic write-up about the smell of tobacco scented candles. (WANT.)

& Talk about leaving behind a legacy! This man rowed across oceans, lived in the Amazon, worked with a pirate, was a mink farmer, and oh, became a professional gambler in his later years.

& "To Kill a Mockingbird" turns 50 this year. Here are some of the lessons learned on and off the set.

“[Fiction] is an exercise that hones our real-life social skills, another body of research suggests. Dr. Oatley and Dr. Mar, in collaboration with several other scientists, reported in two studies, published in 2006 and 2009, that individuals who frequently read fiction seem to be better able to understand other people, empathize with them and see the world from their perspective. This relationship persisted even after the researchers accounted for the possibility that more empathetic individuals might prefer reading novels.” --Your Brain on Fiction

& Speaking of turning fifty, "A Wrinkle in Time" also has the honor of being half a century young! Here is how comic book artist Faith Erin Hicks summarizes one of her favorite books.

& How to make a Rainbow cake. In a Mason jar. (SO PRETTY!)

& Amanda Wachob is the Inkist behind the most beautiful tattoos!
