Little bits and bobs.

Creating content is difficult. I've been trying to think of new things to try to blog about but when ever I try to be creative it ends up just being a giant mess. I did buy some Mod Podge and some crafting paper last week and gave it go. I have so far made a few keepsake boxes and a cell phone case but they are sorely lacking. I have a couple of more boxes and now that I kinda know how to use the Mod Podge stuff I'll give it another go. I also tried out a couple of recipes I found on Pinterest, One was for Chicken enchiladas and the other for a churro cake. Both were turned out well but were not quite as flavorful as I was hoping. Although my family did enjoy them; I now have two more things I can make from memory and adjust to make it more to my liking. So not a total fail there. I have been taking quite a few pictures with my "big camera" here are a few from this Sunday. I also have a couple of DIY projects planed and this year I am going to attempt ...

Social Media Letdown.

So about a month ago I stupidly clicked on a link on twitter from someone I follow. I was on my phone at the time and when the link loaded it forced me to log out of twitter. I panicked and quickly changed all of my passwords and had anxiety for weeks about it. Then news of this new virus/hacker that's come around I am so uber paranoid about something or someone getting into one of my accounts and spamming my friends and family in my name. I hate the thought of that, it's gives me the creeps. So as of about 5 minutes ago I decided to cut down on "social sharing" and have thus deleted/deactivated my twitter account and my tumblr. Two time sucks that I really did not need to be a part of. Although it was fun to see some of my favorite celbs and people posting about their daily lives and activities, the risk of someone sealing my social identity was just to much for me to bare. So just a little FYI to anyone out there who followed me on those two social media outlets...

March Favorites! 2014

So it's that time of the month again where I share a few of my favorite things! I tried to film a video but apparently I'm an idiot and nothing turned out right lol so for now it's just a regular bog post! First off my hair is/was PURPLE! Yes, I have always wanted my hair to be a vibrant color and this go around I went rather bold and had the lower half of my hair "ombre" or what ever you want to call it. It started out purple but has faded to a magenta color which I don't mind. I would however like to have it a deep purple but I'm not sure that possible. I have also found an awesome mascara, it's the Maybelline The Mega Plush Volume Express. It has a nice gel formula that goes on really nicely and doesn't clump. I've had a hard time finding a good mascara but this one seams to be pretty darn good. It's light weight, good pigment (I have it in Blackest Black K900) It has a nice brush with varying lengths of bristles that helps me ...

They say it's your birthday! It's My birthday too!

Hey there! It feels like it's been forever since I made a blog post. I've been quite busy with work and now Spring Break and you know, things. Anyway on with the blogging! March 16th marked my 28th birthday. It feels like the past 10 years have just flew by but somehow I don't feel any older then I always did. What has changed is how people treat me. I'm no longer the youngest one in a group or the odd one out when going to functions with my Mother for her work. Its getting ever more difficult to tell the age of people younger then I. What gets me the most is the memories I can share with people. I've done relatively minor things but I've now I've got something to say and an articulated opinion to express and other people actually take my at my word. I feel pretty good about my self for the most part. So onward and upward! As the years go by it seams like the older we get the longer we drag out our birthdays. This year I decided that I would have an en...

It's Paranormal!

Image
This is going to be a ramble kind of blog post. So....here we go! Picture take by me 1-14 Since I was very little I have been fascinated with the Paranormal. Due in large part to my Father. He was a sci-fi guy and loved to watch all of those kinds of shows from Star Trek to Star Wars and The X Files. I loved going to visit him on the weekends and watch the Sci-Fi and History channel. As a teen I loved The Secret World of Alex Mac, reading and watching Goosebumps, reading Scary Stories in the 3rd grade was one of the best parts of class. As a young adult it just spread from TV shows to movies to books and so on. My love of the macabre just went from there. Creepy things and grave yards, even finding dead animals out in the desert was fascinating to me. I embraced the odd and enjoyed it. Through my late teens and early twenties I went through a time, like most people that age I suppose, where I was finding out who I was and I have to say the Paranormal has played a huge part in...

February Favorites! 2014

Wow its just about the end of February! Spring is right around the corner and so is my Birthday! Just a couple more weeks and I will be 28. Yikes! lol I don't worry to much about getting older though I am now at that age where I can say "when I was a kid". I've got actual stories to tell, not good ones mind you but still stories! Anyway on with the faves! Music Lets start with the new Katy Perry album Prism. Oh wow is it good! I have been listening to it non stop after her performance at the Grammy's I was hooked. Dark Horse, Legendary Lovers and Walking on Air are real standout for me. But really the entire things is wonderful! Okay I have to talk about 2 Cellos . I can't even express how much I loves these guys! A Pagan page I follow on Facebook posted a link to them playing Thunderstruck and I was blown away! I spent the next hour on their YouTube page rocking out. They are so talented and make any song that much more beautiful! Go have a listen for...

So...

So it's been a couple of weeks since my last  blog post and the reason for that is I got a severe sinus infection with led to a sever tooth infections. I was all infected! After three different rounds of antibiotics I am finally on the mend. I have learned a few things from this experience, first was how to sleep sitting up, second was how to eat without using my teeth and third was no matter how afraid of the dentist you are GO! No matter how well you brush and floss you still need twice yearly checkups! I was well enough to attend a local "black tie" fundraiser. I've gone the past three years and it's always fun. This year though I got to really play with my makeup, I felt like a proper lady in my dress, nude open toe stilettos and false lashes. As vain as that sounds I really felt nice. The copious amount of wine I had helped also. The food was great! I had some things I've never tried like oysters and lamb. Other then that I've been brain...
