Buzy Makin' Buzkits

I've been craving some craft time like a mutha.
My DIY life = having piles and piles of fabric, glue, bright colored ink thangs, sewing machine etc
 and never doing what I plan on. I'll give myself credit for shredding shirts,
and recovering the occasional ottoman, but I really need to get cracking on this shiz. 

I've stumbled upon this blog that has THE BOMB-EST (?) DIY projects.
My personal favorite is the spike head band. Gad! Who doesn't want to look like a stegosaurus?
 Visit their blog and click on DIY to get the full how-to. They've got great photos too.  

Maybe if I make a promise to myself in blog-life.... I'll follow through. 

I'm gunna make that thing. 

In further news, my friend Kendall has moved to the country and started a blog!
  Clicky to looky!! She's neato, and so is her husband.
Plus she's starting an online vintage store, Yeah Vintage, so keep your eyeballz peeled. 

Pool time commencing. 

xo!

Liquid Love

I was gazing upon the massive amount of products on my bathroom sink

and began to seriously consider downsizing. There are so many nasty 

products out there with horrible fragrances and harmful chemicals

that promise tanner, firmer, better smelling skin... For 7 dollars? 

Seriously doubt it. 

It will make your breast milk flammable though!!!

Here are some keepers. 

1. Prada has been my scent ever since I met Jonathan. I've 

stuck with it for over four years. It's woodsy, and musky

and patchouli, and sandalwood and best of all it makes me

feel like a woman!

2. Tom Ford's Tuscan Leather Yum Yum Yum. I walked

around Barney's and Neimans squirting this 

stuff on me for about a year before somebody bought it

for me as a gift. It's a special occasion scent for me, and

it truly does smell like leather. It's dry and androgynous, like many of his scents,

and I guarantee if you wear it, NO ONE will smell like you.

It is a very particular and peculiar scent. I LOVE IT!

This shiz is like cocain. Really...

it's rumored to smell like cocain. Of course i have no personal 

experience with the substance, but there's got to be a reason 

it's hard to kick. Also, it's really expensive. 

3. Mario Badescu Drying Lotion. Lasts forever. Zaps blemishes over night.

4.Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel. I like this toner because it doesn't

dry out my skin. I have such sensitive skin it's hard to find a product

I want to rub all over my face. This'll do. 

5. Lavender Oil I keep in my purse. It goes under my nose

when I feel anxious or stressed. 

6. Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Body Lotion. This stuff

reminds me of my mom. Is it just me, or is Crabtree and Evelyn super 80's?

It's such a light and clean scent. I guess they

have a deal with Holiday Inn Express, so whenever I stay in one...

I stock up on the travel bottles. 

ROLL that Beautiful Bolo Footage.

I gaze at my bolo tie amidst my necklaces nearly every morning.

Trying to come up with a way to wear it is more difficult than it should be.

I am of the opinion everyone in Texas needs one, even if you wear it with nothing else.

(What am I talking about "even if" wearing a bolo tie naked, is no doubt the best way to do it).

Here, let me show you....

NO, not the naked way....perv!

Shirt: Old Navy, Belt, Bolo and Accessories: Thrifted, Ring: H&M, Jeans: Thrifted.

My little brother made me a friendship bracelet. (You can barely see it in the 

arm candy shot)..... Yeah, he's 25. It tickles my 

heart we're grown-ass adults and we still do arts and crafts for each other. 

There's really not much better than incorporating sentimental pieces into a look. 

This weekend will be full of thrifting (I've got a shopping bug, but I am poor).

Photos of my finds to come!

Also board games with friends.
