Meditation brings many benefits: It refreshes us, helps us settle into what’s happening now, makes us wiser and gentler, helps us cope in a world that overloads us with information and communication, and more. But if you’re still looking for a business case to justify spending time meditating, try this one: Meditation makes you more productive. Hanging Triangle Garland — my.life.at.playtime. The big project for Greta's room update was this hanging tree branch with metallic triangle garlands. My inspiration was this garland from West Elm.

I was wondering why these glasses weren’t one of the projects we could choose from that day. I left there thinking that Corona glasses could only be made by the glassblowers and their fancy equipment.
