beginnings.

I'll try to keep this first post short. Aesthetics have always been very important to me. Not just beauty, "looks," or fashion as a singular interest, but collectively; aesthetics as a whole have always appealed to me. I started mostly in drawing and photography, and I attended an art college after highschool. An art school is a great place for a troubled youth to quickly become even more troubled. The temptations proved too much for me, and I lost my way in life. I made it through the first year only to drop out, move around and waste a lot of my youth on experiences and adventures that got me into a decent amount of trouble at a young age. My youth was fun, but it was a huge set back.

Now, a reformed party girl and newly married woman, I have finally picked up all the pieces of my previously broken life and I'm ready to focus on myself once again. I'm coming off a year of positive experiences and huge life changes, and it seems like a great time to start writing. I have a constant cycle of ongoing projects, and this will be the place to document them and keep myself on track. This blog should end up a strange cross-breed of a fashion and beauty blog with an art and craft blog. I plan to post musings on art, fashion, crafting, cooking, home decorating, and whatever else I am working on or thinking about at the time!











Some photos of me taken with my Holga camera on my cross-country drive from California to Pennsylvania in spring 2009.





I'm currently working on my next collection for my line of hair accessories. They're feather and floral hair ornaments, and they're beautiful. I'm still working on the Etsy shop for it... Should be up soon. Here are a few examples from past collections:



Other projects I'll be posting soon include my guide to diy spa treatments, a photo tour of my home and some interior design projects, and a recipe for apple mango salsa that I'm waiting to make. My mangos aren't ripe yet!

Not that anyone reads this yet... But it should get pretty good, so do keep that in mind!
