The next time you see an escalator, I hope you’ll think twice before using it. True, it is a hard to choice between standing still and exerting energy – so if you need a little inspiration to use the stairs, just take a look at the video below.

4. Stunning Insect Macro Photography - (via @kim)
I have never been much of an insect lady, but I would certainly put these macro photographs of creepy crawlies into the category - “amazing.” Who knew that such vile creatures could actually be so beautiful?

5. A Mix of Reality and Illusion - (via @minervity)
I couldn’t let another week go by without showcasing one of my favorite artistic genres: animation. This short film by Evelien Lohbeck is a gem – I haven’t seen anything else like it. Lohbeck, a Netherlands-based freelance artist, has a reputation for confusing reality and challenging the expectations of her audience. After watching this piece, I can certainly see why. Push play and see what Lohbeck is all about – I know you won’t be disappointed!
