Invest In: Massage

Not looking forward to this long and arduous work week, I set out to really pamper myself this last weekend. The debilitating knots in my shoulders told me the best thing to do was head down to Clear Awakening and see if lovely Carissa couldn’t alleviate months worth of computer work.

Go Ask Alice

With the release of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland comes, of course, the discovery of a million trinkets that will make you feel a little bit like Alice.   I was browsing Unique Vintage’s costume department and found a few Alice-inspired accessories that would add a touch of magic to any outfit.  (Click the images to Related posts:

Where’ve You Been, Babycakes?

Holy crap, you guys!  I’ve had about a week and a half of solid blog-neglect.  What am I out doing that’s so important I should be ignoring YOU? Well, for starters Mama got a promotion, so my life has had a little extra hustle to it as I try to adapt.  Besides that, I’ve been blogging Related posts:

Invest In: Quality Time

This weekend, mortality sort of slapped me right in the face. It reminded me how important it is to take a step back from the rush and bustle and really invest some quality time in you, and in your loved ones. In the grand scheme of things, our lives seem so fleeting. Related posts:

Wardrobe Challenge

Captain’s Log, Stardate: [-28] 02645.00 – In a disconcerting turn of events, all access to the laundry room in my apartment building has been cut off. It all started with the Laundry Thief.  I’ve had a run-in with this character once, last fall when approximately 2 outfits disappeared completely from my laundry one afternoon.  I’m not Related posts:

Value You

Do you ever toot your own horn, and then almost immediately panic – as if what you’ve done might not have been such a good idea? It’s like submitting a resume and then promptly experiencing some sort of terror that you’ll fail at what you’ve just submitted your resume for, or worse – you’ll Related posts:

Color Alchemy

I’ve recently been experimenting with colors and metallics.  I don’t normally wear coral, gold, pink, or any muted, metallic dusty warm color – these colors all seem to clash with my skin tone, and hair color.  Just recently though, I stepped outside the box and went through a bit of color alchemy.  Instantly, everything became Related posts:

In Fashion: Cultural Appropriation vs Inspiration

(This post & the one on Wicked Whimsy are a dual effort and meant to be read together, so go there and read hers too!)

To Buy or Not To Buy: Made In China

Last year, the amazing Scarlet told me she’d embarked on a mission not to buy goods with a Made in China tag. We’ve had a lot of discussion on this fact and the prevalence of overseas manufacturing in our everyday existence.  I think her decision and the reasons behind buying local and made in the Related posts:

New Year, New Focus

You all may remember my stance on resolutions – setting one huge long term goal (or many long term goals) doesn’t realistically lend to achieving those goals.  Last year when I really dived into this whole blogging thing I set a primary focus for the year and had little weekly resolutions instead.  The weekly resolutions Related posts:

Outfit: Menswear

I loooooove menswear. I think it started when I was a window dresser for a certain large retailer and we had to think creatively about ties. Menswear may seem boring, but when used in a way that seems out-of-the-box, it packs quite the punch. (Fantastic Photocollage found on The Other You) Diane Keaton’s outfit here Related posts:

Discoveries

I’ve been flipping through Barbara Sher’s Wishcraft, since I’d heard about the book from Hayden, of Through the Illusion.   The point of Wishcraft is for the reader to discover who they truly are, where they truly want to be, and how to get there.   Last night, I stumbled upon a fun little exercise that Related posts:
