The Importance of Sleep

Contributed by Rachel

One of our goals here on Pearls of Wisdom is to help our readers look and feel their best. We’ve posted on the topic before (some makeup roundups from across the blogsphere) and here is the next in the informal series.

At Samantha Rose Designs, we love infographics. Why keep illustrations and data separate? Like peanut butter and jelly, they’re best enjoyed together! The following infographic is informative (like good infographics always are) but also of particular interest because of the subject matter: a way in which we all can improve our health with minimal energy expended.

Youth and Beauty: Art of the American Twenties

March 4–May 27, 2012
Barrel Vault and Hanley, Lamont, Rachofsky, and Stoffel Galleries

The Dallas Museum of Art has a new exhibition! You may have heard the catchy advertisement for it on KERA. It’s called Youth and Beauty: Art of the American Twenties and is reportedly the first examination of American fine art from the close of the first World War through the beginning of the Great Depression on a large scale. This exhibition is touring across the United States and features more than 130 works of painting, sculpture, and photography by more than sixty-five artists. It demonstrates how American artists of the period embraced a progressive, idealized realism visible in a resurgence of figuration and in highly distilled images of American places and things. Organized by the Brooklyn Museum, Youth and Beauty will include three works from the DMA’s collections, so if you’re in the mood for a double dose of history and culture… check it out!
