It’s been more than 150 years since the release of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland and to this day it’s as popular as it was then. With its funny little poems, whimsical characters and obscurity, it’s a tale which has spanned generations before us and many to come. It’s one of those tales you shouldn’t ever try to make sense of, but rather let yourself go into its vortex of silliness. It’s one of my favorite fairy tales of all time. This is why I am so excited about the its Disney live-action sequel Alice Through the Looking Glass. I just can’t believe it’s been six years! And now the trailer is finally here:

I mean where else can babies turn into pigs, caterpillars dole out advice, flowers insult Alice and snooty purple striped cats disappear into thin air? Lewis Carroll’s tales have impacted generations so much that a whole exhibit in New York City (just finished) was done to showcase his work and their inspirations (don’t worry the original manuscript can be seen in the British Library). This is why I put together a fun little list of thought nibbles to better your life.

Everything You Need to Know in Life from Alice Through the Looking Glass

1. Do go through the ‘Looking Glass’.

Follow your impulses and see where it lands you. Alice doesn’t play by the conventional rules in life. She’s up for anything and is a risk taker. I’m not telling you to base jump, but do book that flight and travel, explore and see where the rabbit hole or the looking glass leads you.
