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.

Relationship or bust

The Scenario:  You’re starting to panic a little bit.  It seems like you’ve been single FOR-EV-ER, and you’re starting to think you might be doomed to a life of celibacy, or a life of un-fulfilling dates with men who don’t do it for you.  You start to notice your thoughts as you step up to 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:

Invest In: An Updated Resumé

Whether it’s a new job after a bout of “no job” or just poking your head into the job market to see what’s out there, the best tool in your kit is going to be your resumé. It’s the one thing you should always have on hand – ready to go (that and business Related posts:

Invest In: A New Year, A Fit You

At the forefront of many people’s resolutions lists, one is sure to find something regarding the words, “healthy, fit, gym, eat well.”   Every year-end, we’re bogged down with holiday foods – rich main dishes, loads of carbs, sweets galore.  It’s no wonder we come out of last year in an insulin haze, pushing ourselves 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:

Modern Vintage

It’s Friday and I’m wearing *THE-MOST-COMFORTABLE* outfit I could possibly think of. I got home late last night from the Twitterati Reunion party and when I dragged myself out of bed at 8 this morning, I decided comfort was key. I love when winter hits, so I can break out this skirt – which is 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:

More Beautiful Than Fiction

OMG!  *GASP!*  It’s published! (Photo and info on Blurb, or at MarkLaubenheimer.com) It started a couple months back, when I got an email from  Mark Laubenheimer.  Mark, a local (Seattle) photographer, takes gorgeous photos of normal people – untouched, unadulterated, using natural light and simple settings.  Mark needed a foreword for his newest project, and after stumbling Related posts:

HAT PARTAAAY!

AKA – An outfit post! So as you may know, the Bird’s computer died a few weeks back… and with it, went Photoshop.  I got my work station back which is excellent upgrade, but Photoshop wouldn’t let me use my product key, so  I’ve been out of luck as far as a photo editor.  I’m currently Related posts:

The New Black Barbie is “So In Style”

Remember when you were a little kid and having a black Barbie was a huge goddamn deal?  There was only one girl on my block that had one, and that was me.  We played with her in hushed tones for fear of some overprotective parent saying it was weird that a bunch of white girls Related posts:

The I in Relationship

Relationship-land is an amazing place. We discover so much about a person in such a short amount of time – the result of which can be intrinsically fascinating. We fall into a pattern of close connection; the other person becomes our world and a measure by which we view our good traits and Related posts:

The Inevitable

Fall has come, once again, reminding us that everything green and supple must come to an end; summer is over, and the long push of the colder months brings boots, berets and backpacks as people of all ages go back to school.

Work Your Passion

Slowly, you are gravitating towards doing what you love for a living. As you read this statement you’re probably thinking about your day job and what you do, and the implications of why you’re not doing what you love. I ask you: What do you do out of love, and what do you do out Related posts:

New Adventures: Bellydance at VDP

Bellydance… the word seems exotic and conjures images of beautiful girls in wispy, gauzy fabrics, jingling as they shimmy to eastern drum beats.  It almost seems like an impossible feat – the ambidextrous isolation of only your hips, only your torso, while making a strong statement in body movement.  When I tell friends I’ve enrolled Related posts:

Wholeness

I am whole. Every part of me is a part of the package deal that you get when you sign up. I am “fairy hair” and tattoos. I am a love for books and a strong hate for raisins. I am a little burlesque, a little rocker, a little My Little Pony with Related posts:
