Frustrations...

Hola gorgeous Hippies!!!

I have been having some troubles lately when it comes to finding the motivation to be creative. It's like I see awesome pictures and paintings and jewellery in my head but tell myself that I don't have the skills to actually make them happen. I did make two awesome pictures in December as gifts for Christy and my sister but it's like my brain decided to no longer do anything of the sort. It's bullshit!!! I want to stop being so lazy... I spend a lot of time getting high and watching movies in my smoking room, just because it's easy. I don't know why I can't convince myself that it is just as easy to get high, sit in my smoking room and work on some art. IT IS THAT EASY!! So I really need to start focusing on that. It honestly isn't going to be as easy as it seems but that is just because I am already working on becoming my dream self. I am changing so many things in my life that I don't make a point of changing anything else... But who says that I can't just keep changing things until everything is the way I want it to be. It's possible... people manage it all the time, which means that I can too!

Just because I am already rambling... I have made some amazing changes in my life this month already. I am honestly super proud of myself! I have started getting up at 7:00 am everyday except Sunday so I have enough time to form some kind of personal hygiene habit (cause I am a dirty hippie haha) and eat breakfast. I have also started buying actual groceries on Sunday's and preparing all of my breakfasts and lunches (and even some dinners) for the entire week. I feel so good today knowing that I have been taking care of myself... I mean come on... I have eaten a spinach salad every day this week...Who's the man?? That's right... ME! So... not only have I been cleaner and eating regular, healthy meals everyday; I have also been making a serious attempt at regular exercise. I do crunches everyday, hula hoop three times per week, and have started doing a work out video three times per week (which I will be increasing to four times per week next week). I am so excited about this new direction my life is taking.  I have wanted to be the healthy, fit girl my entire life...so of course I became fat instead. I was fat! I know it... but I have lost 95 lbs so far and have 10 more to go to reach my goal weight. It is attainable now, I can feel it, and I will not let anything stop me. Anyway... so yes incorporating regular exercise has always been a goal of mine, and now I am finally making it happen. Once I get in a little bit better shape I hope to take a few exercise classes like dance (especially African dance), pilates, and yoga. Then I will move to the island where I plan on taking rock climbing and scuba diving lessons. I am going to be one seriously fit and healthy woman!! SQUEEE!! Haha!

I will definitely be keeping you (not that anybody reads this yet lol) up to date on my progress with this because I am super stoked about it. Maybe I will even post before and after pictures one day... not any time soon because I am definitely still too insecure for that... but one day!

More rambling... Well now you know what I have been working on lately... so I am going to make this last little bit quick... 

GOALS FOR THE REST OF JANUARY

1. Cook one real meal every week and save the leftovers to use for future dinners/lunches

2. Do a workout video four times per week

3. Plan at least one what I wore post 

4. Paint entire 4' x 4' canvas black so I can start my collage

5. Go bra shopping... man is it terrible wearing bras that don't fit lol

So...to end this rambling post... I was going to post a couple pictures... but I just got a new mac and haven't figured it out yet... oops

Much Love

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

HOLA!!!

Well it is finally 2013... and I am so damn excited. There are so many changes that are going to happen this year and I couldn't be happier about it. My life is finally going the direction that I want it to. I feel such over whelming positivity when I think about the coming year. Seriously... I am completely incapable of typing a coherent paragraph because there is so much happening... So I am going to break it down for you...

2013

1. I am moving to Nanaimo with my darling best friend Christy.

2. We are also going to Peru and Bolivia for about a month... I think in June

3. I start school @ VIU in September

4. I only have 20 lbs to go before I reach my goal weight...SQUEEE

5. Shambhala in August... of course

I know this really doesn't seem like much, but when you are a person who hasn't really had anything significant happen in your entire life... having such major changes happen in one year is kind of crazy.

- Also... I apologize for taking such an extended break... but I really wanted to not have to worry about having nothing to say for a while. It felt good but now I am going to come up with some sort of blogging schedule and actually start using this blog for what I originally wanted it for. Which is a lifestyle blog. I want to showcase what I wear and where I go and what I do... I want to document everything and use this blog as a way to track my progress for becoming who I want to be. I am finally starting to becoming my own person and starting to dress and act like my real self... I will get there... and I pretty sure this is the year that it will happen. Anyway... yes I will start to have a real blog in the next little while... GO ME

Life Lately... This will be a picture over load of Christmas stuff, my cats, art I've worked on... etc. And I am not going to put them in any kind of order... life has been wonderful lately :)

Isn't my baby cute lol

So... gifts, christmas, spending time with Christy.

Much Love

P.S. It took me fucking FOREVER to figure out how to finally get pictures side by side... damn I hate not knowing anything about computers sometimes... And I can't figure out how to make the pictures stay inside the lines of my blog... but I keep fucking it up trying to fix it... so I give up for now

Hiatus... obviously...

Alright my lovelies... I have been (and plan to continue) taking a little blogging break. The main reason behind this is that this blog has no direction or real purpose. I haven't been properly invested in it and have not been taking enough pictures to have any form of blog content. I do plan on returning to some form of blogging schedule once December hits... I just need the month to plan out what I actually want to accomplish and get in the habit of taking more pictures everyday.

So until I return... This is what I have been up to lately...

- NEW TATTOO!! Isn't it fabulous! If I ever see it replicated I will HUNT YOU DOWN lol



- New purchase... I finally own a pair of Minnetonka moccasins!!

- New pictures... I am excited to finish the second one. It is for my sisters b-day!

So until next time...

Much Love

Hmmm... blah blee blu blah

Well... I don't really have anything of value to say... but I have been thinking about this quite a bit recently. Take a gander... because I feel it is quite important.

Also... Hello me.

I have spent quite a bit of time cuddling this cutie pie lately!!

- Here is a preview of my next masterpiece lol I think it is going to look trippy as fuck when it is done. I am excited and I really really hope I don't fuck it up!

Have a good weekend loves!

Much Love

SMASH!

I'm going to make today's post short and sweet :)

Now I know this is a terrible picture but... last night I went and saw the smashing pumpkins and they were pretty great, especially when they started playing their older stuff. Good times with good friends :)

- It is basically the general consensus of ALL of my friends that I need to dress up as a sexy Bob Ross for Halloween... I feel like this will NEVER happen!

And... SNEAK PEAK

Much Love

Wow... I just disagree.

Alright... I read an article today that I absolutely have to comment on.
Sparkly nail polish, Katy Perry, and frozen eggs: Meet the Woman-Child.

WTF... Are people seriously wasting their time writing bullshit about how women who decorate their nails, like cats, have games nights with their friends, and go and see the Hunger Games instead of What to Expect when you're Expecting are less worthy of societies attention then a more mature woman. Who says that mature women can't watch whatever the fuck they want or dress however they want.
I know that I am not yet at the level of comfort I hope to one day achieve where I wear whatever I want and don't give a fuck... but to the women out there who live to please themselves, who dress and act the way that they want to... I SALUTE YOU!!! If we are going to be classified by some scared "mature" publication, then we need to fucking own it.
WE ARE WOMEN- CHILDREN!!!

If you are interested in reading the sad little article here it is... Sad little article

The smell of the leaves...

I find it very difficult to be productive on a Monday. I just want to do nothing all day... but unfortunately I must be a member of the work force and show up at 8:00 ish in the morning. Sad face :(

Oh well... Pretty soon I will be working a job that will not pay anywhere near as much as I make now... but it will be in a new location. SO STOKED lol I just want to move right now!

This weekend was so chill... I actually didn't do anything productive at all. I worked and slept and watched movies. It was a nice change of pace. I usually have a to do list a mile long on the weekends that Christy works, but not this time. My plan was to do nothing... and for the first time I completed my entire to do list.

- It was so beautiful outside. I love the smell of Autumn. So crisp... It is just wonderful.

- Speaking of Autumn... now that there is a definitely crispness in the air... it has got me thinking about fall fashion. Now I am by no means a fashion forward kind of person, but one of my goals for this year (and every year after this year lol) is to stop being so damn lazy and actually put an effort into the way I dress... I want the way I dress to reflect who I am as a person. I don't want to be embarrassed when people look at me. I just want a stranger to see me on the street and go "Whoa... that girl is a hippie chick."

So I have been looking through Polyvore and dreaming about oversize sweaters, patterned tights, short dresses with long sleeves, moccasins, boots (lots and lots of boots).

- I think I love the vest the most... I probably should not buy one though... once I have a vest in my possession  I wear it...EVERYDAY!! It's a problem lol

- I love the polka dot over the knee socks... best shit ever.

- Every fall I dream of the perfect over the knee boot... this one might be it!!

- So yeah... fall fashion... planning needs to happen :)

And to end today's post... MORE GINGER CUTENESS

Much Love
