imagine yourself being given the opportunity of a lifetime.  think about what it would entail to own your own business.  try to visualize what you would do with this enormous responsibility and how you could transform it into the biggest and best endeavor you have ever ventured into. now that i have put that out there i will just say that there are BIG plans in my very near future and i am

so i finally finished school...phew!!  oh, and i was the valedictorian ;)  what a long, emotional ride that was.  if i could go back in time and make some other decisions regarding this stretch of education i would, but alas it is over and i couldn't be happier. don't get me wrong, i love what i am doing, but i would have chosen a different place to have gone.  i am sooooo not aveda.  most of the

yup, it's another hellish morning with A.  how hard is it to just be nice to your partner (and the world for that matter) right when you wake up in the morning??  the funny thing is that he has no idea how crummy it starts my day off when i cheerily say "good morning!" and he proceeds to slam the bathroom door in my face.  i don't deserve this.

i want these... but since i cannot justify buying them until i am making money again, i will settle for these... which are still really quite decadent.  who knew i would be lusting after a pair of shears a mere 2 years ago?? sad, but true...

you know those little posting collages you can make at the end of the year on facebook?  well, in case you don't i will tell you that they are basically a sampling of random posts you have made throughout the year in collage style.  last year mine involved many posts referencing food.  i guess even though i am not the chef in the family my own little personal bubble in life still prominently

only about 2 months until i graduate from aveda, and time had been moving so slowly until now.  so much to do in so little time.  i feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to go to school and completely change my career path.  so, so very blessed to have had the support i needed to get through it financially.  i wish that my husband knew how much i appreciate all his help, but it is so hard to

i love, love, love halloween!  it is absolutely my most favorite holiday of the year.  i love that it represents the changing of a season, as well as an opportunity to come up with a fantastic costume and go out for some prime people watching.  i have been everything from roadkill rabbit to melanie daniels from hitchcock's the birds.  i revel in every last minute of  the sweet, candy goodness

so this past year has been tumultuous to say the least.  on top of school i have had to balance work, lucky rabbit, marriage, finances, pets, family drama,  a withering social life, the maintenance of a home, as well as keeping my personal emotional maintenance in check.  i have definitely learned a lot about myself and all the people that surround me.  i have come so far as a stylist, and it has

*ugh*  being sick in the summertime somehow seems to feel worse than being sick in the winter.  being sick always makes me depressed though no matter what the weather outside is like.  i have such a hard time not doing anything that i either make myself feel worse by actually over-doing it, or i go stir crazy by doing nothing.  today i chose the latter, and feel utterly useless for not filling my

today my friend kyra called me out of the blue to see if she could stop by and say hello.  she recently got back from a trip to hawaii, and i hadn't seen her since a couple weeks before she left.  she came over and i made us some sandwiches and we sat on the porch and caught up.  so super nice.  it was a short visit since she had to get to work, but she told me she was not fully booked for the

today had been an A-MAZINGLY beautiful day!!  according to the weather forecast it will be the last one we have for the next few months of summer hell.  ok, so "few" is an understatement.  it will actually be hot, hot, hot for the next 5 months, but it's best not to think about it this early in the summer. my mom had knee replacement surgery today, and apparently it went well.  this is

HAPPY SUNDAY!!! for everything that tucson is lacking, i have to admit that you can score some pretty sweet vintage finds here.  i have nabbed several vintage beaded sweaters and adorable dresses at a fraction of the cost you would pay in bigger cities. i have been searching for the perfect pair of cowboy boots since i moved here.  although the search continues for the "perfect" pair, in

so as i was driving to work this morning i had somewhat of an epiphany.  when i first moved to this ol' desert from the lush surroundings of the northwest all i could see was brown.  brown dirt, brown bushes, brown buildings, brown everything!  aside from the sporadic drive through the mountain park, or up the road to mount lemon where there are actually pine trees, i had a hard time even

ok, so what is it that keeps me from recording my daily, or even weekly events, thoughts, or inspirations in this blog?  i have several blogs that i follow, and i feel like i know these women on a personal level as if they were close friends of mine.  what is it that makes them ok with sharing so many facets of their lives with complete strangers?  what is their motivation to express their

i often suffer from insomnia.  i have had this affliction since i was very young, and my mom told me i used to lay in my bed as a little girl and sing all night long.  she would actually tell my babysitter to not let me nap under any circumstances because it would generally lead to a long night of sitcom opening melodies being crooned into the night from my bedroom.  i don't sing anymore, but

ok, so i know when i started this blog that i promised myself i would be more diligent about posting, but life has gotten a bit hectic for me as of late.  i knew that i would be busy when i started school, but i kind of forgot to take into account that i still have a business to run, a part-time job, as well as a household to manage.  i have to admit that my time management skills were seriously

i'll have enough time to compose a proper post.  since i started school i've been busier in the past 4 weeks than i have been for the past 2 years, and it might take me a minute to catch my breath and, as madonna would say, get into the groove.

about a month or so ago i started this "couch to 5K" running program.  it's supposed to get you running for 3 miles, or 30 minutes consecutively in just "9 short weeks" (it's all relative, right?).  i was religiously going to the gym for about 4 months prior to starting the program so i think that i may have been in better shape, physically at least, than some folks who  attempt the C25K.  i say

"Lomography emphasizes casual, snapshot photography. Characteristics such as over-saturated colors, off-kilter exposure, blurring, "happy accidents," and alternative film processing are often considered part of the "Lomographic Technique."  Users are encouraged to take a lighthearted approach to their photography, and use these techniques to document everyday life..."

a couple weeks ago i went to a circus themed party.  i "shared" a costume with my friend aja, and we went as siamese, or, to be more politically correct, conjoined twins.  it was the first time i have ever spent a substantial period of time actually zipped onto another person.  it was a strange feeling when we finally separated, kind of like losing an appendage.  if i had ever been actually

I was remembering today how I could just walk out my front door in Seattle and run into good friends, eat good food, and just enjoy my lush, green surroundings.  I'm afraid that I may have taken this luxury for granted the last couple years I lived there, and I just wanted to take a moment to admit the perpetual regret that I feel.
