Filling my evenings lately with being a political junkie and man, this week was a doozy. One of my favorite things to do is to curl up with the pups, turn on the news and plink around on the web. I need to step up my game though. Belle Belle’s editorial calendar is packed! I might go back to four posts per week just to share all the new goodness in makeup and products. But my favorite post of the week is always sharing favorites from around the web:

Manic week! But the days are flying by and my favorite thing to say is that means we are having fun.

Some finds from around the web:

After a long stretch with no subscription, I bit the bullet and ordered print delivery of my favorite paper to my office this week. Hitha’s post about keeping up with the news was part of the inspiration – such wonderful tips. While digital is great, there is nothing like those soft, grey pages to make a morning. In lighter reading, I found some other gems from around the web this week:

Thanks to Victoria, I discovered the practice of dorveille – or segmented sleep – something I’ve unintentionally practiced but always thought was “wrong”. Turns out that segmented sleep used to be quite common. Note that it also “fits snugly within the Christian Liturgy of the Hours“. I won’t make it a routine, but next time, I won’t feel so bad about those magical pre-dawn hours spent reading. And the unexpected wakefulness that happens the next day.

Speaking of sleep, I read recently that Americans are seriously sleep deprived and I believe it. One thing I’ve been working on is prioritizing sleep – segmented or not. I am almost more vigilant about my FitBit sleep goals than steps. Turns out I might be onto something. This article makes the case that sleep is crucial to being successful in business.
