In case you haven’t heard, it’s the start of a new year, which means millions are running around, frantically creating lists of unrealistic goals that will soon be forgotten. Welp, resolutions are pipe dreams, but a visual reminder to make awesome might do the trick. The To Resolve Project is a collection of well designed, inspiring mantras for your iPhone, and soon, your wall. Making room for what matters has never looked so good. [h/t Quipsologies]

‘Tis the season to give back, and the San Diego arts and music community needs your support! Tonight, Sezio launches their 2012 Membership program, which helps our favorite non-profit make awesome all year long. (Remember this? Or this? Or this? You get the point.) For the reasonable price of $40, the Sezio Card gets you 10% off your tab at a bunch of rad local businesses including Starlite, Tiger!Tiger! and Bottlecraft, just to name a few. If that wasn’t already amazing enough, try these letterpress sketchbooks on for size. Oh no you didn’t!

This evening, they’re celebrating the 2012 Membership with a huge art show, delicious food truck fare and crafty cocktails (did someone say Moscow Mule?) at the Luce Loft from 7-11pm. The event is free, so come down and join us for a night of local art, music and culture!

Growing up is seriously overrated, so why not give gifts that bring out the little kid within all of us? You know, the one that welcomed each day with a smile, dreamt big and always made time for fun? Here are ten gems to get the party started…you can thank me later.

Clockwise: All City Breakers Mini Series, Twin Lens Holga with Color Flash, don’t forget to play Print, The You Are Awesome Ribbon, Crayon Rings, Duck Hunt NES Hard Drive, Yellow Owl Workshop Big Stamps, Ice Cream Cone Trinket Box, Blue Harold plush monster, OMG Pillow

This is internet and THIS is our monthly mixtape. With Dirty Gold, The Drums, Cant and more, “Dayummm” is what we hope you’ll be saying about this one. And in case you were wondering…. yes, it’s Chuck Norris approved. [animated GIFs via IHeartChaos]

By the stache of Rollie, it’s Movember, a month-long celebration of fine mustachery that raises awareness for prostate cancer and other c-words that affect men. That’s right, mustache season is officially open, and TOMS is getting in on the facial hair fun. Grab these limited edition kicks for both gents and gals (because even ladies feel the love), and grow a Mo to save a bro this month! [h/t Bless this Stuff]

By now, you know we’re big believers in making mistakes (and misteaks), so I’m loving this gem from the gentlemen behind The Phraseology Project. The artists also take submissions, so think of something clever and perhaps they’ll turn your favorite phrase into beautiful type. Keeping all twenty digits crossed my beloved “make sandwiches, not war.“ quote makes the cut! [h/t PUBLIC SCHOOL]

What’s your favorite part of October? Indian summers, costumes, pumpkins, decorative gourds? Please just don’t say tell us the new Bieber single that’s out today. This month’s mix has Real Estate, Mayer Hawthorne, Hodgy Beats, Jonathan Wilson and something totally unexpected to close. Just go ahead now.
