Head in the Cloud

Pashmina means “made from wool," but literally translates to “soft gold” in Kashmiri where first made

In the age of technology, the first assumption from the title can be to find comfort through some piece of hardware that will show you pictures of old ass friends who basically have no connection with us anymore. Let’s take it back to the classics. This is not a piece of technology or hardware, but more so, it is a piece of headwear made from the finest most comfortable material that the English have adopted- cashmere.

Understandably so, we have adopted the name cashmere from the origin country of Kashmir which founded this specific textile industry from the use of a very specific Pashmina goat in Nepal. These goats produced the softest wool products that came to be known as pashmina.

A Pashmina scarf not only is a great looking addition to any raver's wardrobe, it is actually one of the single greatest purchases I have ever made. The Persian translation from the word pashmina means “made from wool," but literally translates to “soft gold” in the original language. The feel of the textile liquid gold, except it is not some sh*tty fake cheese *cough cough*velveeta. This stuff, Pashmina, is the real f*ckin deal.

The coolest thing about this, in my opinion, is that the pashmina scarf is so versatile and can be worn with a plethora of outfits, that I think it should be added to every raver’s wardrobe. The feeling of putting it on over your head or around your shoulders literally will send chills down your spine as you’ve never felt something quite like this. Almost a return to womb as you’re encompassed by a gentle later of silky smooth cloth that will teleport you in to the clouds right above. It is like you are observing a cotton candy maker fill your body with that very fluff of the cotton candy as it swirls enchantingly around you.

There is a list of about 20 different ways to wear this item and each one will give you your own way to express this very item. If you like to wear something, for instance heady hoodies or the spirit hoodies (aka animal hoods), then this is truly going to be a great product. You feel as if you’re in your own world and these shawls are much bigger and longer than you may think, so I’ve invited friends grooving around me to join me in the cloud as it proves to be a great tepee or meeting spot haha. This is something that I have found that will help calm your nerves, relax yourself, and transport you in to another world of comfort all while not seeking some faux personal gain from some fake piece of tech.

As we grow continuously involved with media and building simulated connections with people we’ll most likely never see, such as the social media realm, it is so wonderful to reconnect with yourself and make yourself most comfortable. That’s why I recommend checking out some Pashmina scarfs at your next festival. Although there is a markup at the festival, there is such a special feeling by getting to pick one out while you’re there in the flesh. Or check out Amazon where they will have every type of pashmina you can probably find. Just make sure it says that the product is made of 100% cashmere or it will not be of the same quality. Very important that it is a genuine pashmina or cashmere scarf. Frankly with this one, I just wanted to pass on a word in good faith. To buy this thing. You can find great Pashmina scarfs for less than $20 on the web and these will satisfy the conditions of being made from pure cashmere. The true SoftGold.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
