War Paint

As a little country girl, I can remember playing Cowboys & Indians. I, being the little princess that I am, always wanted to play an Indian squaw. While my brother was always a Cowboy….& not much has changed! It’s been 12 years since I’ve called myself by my Indian Princess name (Pretty as Sunflower), did a rain dance or hunted buffalo in the cow pasture. But there is one thing that this Indian Princess has never forgotten, & that’s how to do battle. No self respecting Indian can go into battle without her war paint!
Each day I rise & prepare for battle…
& my inner diva is currently in love with these trendy Summer Colors: Aveda lip pigment cana913 & Aveda eye definer: jade vine990.

breakfast of champions

If you’re like me, you enjoy your sleep. If I had it my way, I’d sleep right through breakfast & well into lunch. Alas, the life of a full time student & working gal leaves little time for beauty rest, & even less time for fancy meals no matter what time they’re scheduled for.
I find myself in a constant struggle to stay healthy on a budget. I’ve save myself precious sleeping time & money, just by getting a little creative with my meal planning.

The Easy Eggo:

1. Toast an Eggo Waffle (or if you have the time batter your own).
2. Spread your favorite nut butter on top. (My favorite is almond butter)
3. Slice a banana & fan slices over the layer of peanut butter.
4. Drizzle with honey.
5. Top with berries.

Bon Appetit!

¡mi papá es una viajera del mundo!

I’ve always been envious of my father’s travels. He’s been to more countries than I can even name, eaten things that most would swat, and made friend of all colors & sizes!
He would always return from afar with the most interesting things! My favorite was when he would return with things that I could wear…fancy that!

Today, I’m feeling primitive-chic:

obsessied

Essie brand polish is seriously my new favorite thing! So this summer, I chose to compliment my reddish ruse locks with pops of peach from their coral collection, {essie.com}. Essie has a brilliant collection of color in all shades & for all disguises.

This Spring, Essie has partnered wit TOM’S shoes to help support the “One Day without Shoes” movement to raise awareness for barefoot babes around the world. If you’re going to polish your paws,  support a worthy cause while you’re at it.

baby janes

Lately, I’ve been a tad bit obsessed with crocheting. A very dear older friend taught me how to crochet when I was still in grade school. Now, 15 years later, I’m in a crochet craze and I can’t control myself. My latest crochet creation, baby Janes has inspired more baby bootie ideas via my crochet hook.

I intend to send these little ladies to a very special baby girl in Louisiana. They do make a perfect, from the heart, baby gift.

 

masquerade

I spent the last week pondering what I should be for the costume party I’ll be attending on Saturday evening. It’s always fun to have partners in crime, so my best friend, boyfriend & I are going as Clue characters. I will be Ms. Peacock, she will be Ms. Scarlet & he will be Cornell Mustard.

Happy costuming!

Starving Artist Showcase

It’s less than 24hrs till our artists will be setting up & sound checks will be radiating from the roof top of our industrial oasis in downtown Dallas. When I find time to breathe, I plan on updating new outfits & renovations…Oh what a beautiful life! Can not wait!
