Reinvention

They say every seven year your body changes. Your skin type can change your hair changes. Well I don’t know where I am in that cycle but I’m thinking it’s time for a personal change. I’ve done this before some where in my early 20’s I was in the middle of one my dark periods. (I was never a moody teen but I was moody in my twenties. I still am to some extent.) I woke up one day decided I was depressed because I had lived my entire life as a reaction to other peoples mood swings. I just woke up over it! I don’t know what day it was but I made a decision and I changed my life going forward.

Well it’s time again. I use to sketch and draw and design stuff all the time. Somehow I got discouraged and lost my way. I feel it now like the day I decided to live my own life. My creative spirit is roaring back to life I think it’s time to reinvent myself. I think people do see me as creative but there about to realize they had know idea what I’ve been hiding. You can tell from this blog that I love clothes. Did you know I love art too sometimes I think I need it to breathe? Stay tuned the color and texture of my life is about to change I can feel it. A reinvention is on the way. When is the last time you reinvented your self?

Girl in a Box

Well it's that time I changed my hair from straight to curly for the winter. It rains too much here to deal with it straight. I've pulled out my sweaters and I'm wearing them but I'm most excited about my mew jacket. Anyone who knows me will tell you I'm a huge Anthropologie fan. That store is my happy place. If I have a bad day at work I stop by Anthropoligie on my way home. I don't need to buy anything I just like to wonder.

Everyone should find a happy place. That one place where you go to de-stress. I've been debating getting a part time job there but I wonder if the work would ruin my happy place. I don't think so but I wonder if they'd let me get creative. Because that's why I love it.  Being in there makes me want to create and design stuff. I can get that same feeling in a good book or an art museum. I know I'm weird and I've learned to go with it.

I've been going to Anthropolige a lot lately looking for inspiration for my bedroom. It's been a mess lately and I realized I don't like my room. I'm on month three in my new place and I hate my room. I think for me I need to find an inspiration piece and go from there. I'll keep you posted on my quest or if I just lose my mind and decide to move when my lease is up. Every moment spent in my room makes me want out. Help I'm traped in a box!!

A little bit of structure in our lives!

They say children need structre to turn out right. Well so does a good coat! Fall is here so let's cover the basics. Fisrt your coat is statment peice!  It will tell people the most about you at first glance. A good coat is versitile, warm, an screams "Whoo gorgeouss over here!"  To be perfectly honest regardless of what people try and deny it is human nature: we all make a silent judgements of people we see before we speak to them. Starting soon the first thing people will see is your coat. So let's start the judging off with some bonus points.

My Fountain of Youth

I have always wanted to be a writer. Bad spelling aside, I think I would be good at it. It's on my 'when I become a mommy list.' In my head I'm a stay at home mom on day and during this time I plan to save the world in my spare time. Besides the economy and the no man thing the other problem with that statement is I have no clue how not to go to work. This is why in order to make this work I have to become a writer now. This way I can work from home.

Anyway  I been waiting to grow up and become a writer.  Well I'm going to be a writer now no more waiting. I  want to write novels. I use to think I need more life experience for this but now I think I just need to start writing. I use to write all the time. I moved recently and I found all my old journals. I sat down and read a bunch of them and there are story plots in there and charters concepts and I just need to stop and develop some of these ideas. Sometimes my random characters and the plots surrounding there lives will keep me up at night. I'm not generally and insomniac because of stress for me it's this stuff. People in my head stories I can't turn off!

I think I just stumbled back in to the passion from my youth the one thing I consistently wanted to be since I was little besides a fashion desiger.  It's like and overwhelming craving I just got to do it. I fill all jazzed up maybe writing is my fountain of youth.

Random thought!

So it was a long weekend! My car got towed and that cost me $89. My puppy escaped and he was impounded and he cost me $122. Think on that for a moment….It cost more to get my dog back then my car. 

Random thought I’ll most likely have to drag puppy of the yard next week. So maybe we should up the penalty for men who fool around outside their home fence. Let’s just keep it fare in the animal kingdom. Cheaters could simply be charged a fine, incarcerated for the weekend and them we neuter them. $20 says this would cut the national debt by billions. Most men will not consider being snipped and clipped. They cringe at the thought. Think about it the humane society is genius! The bill sent to congress should be called The Humane Society Act in honor of Puppy. After all it’s only fair!

The Travel Nazi

Sometimes I travel a lot for work and that should have made me a master packer but I actually attribute my ability to pack a simple bag for travel to a friend. we’ll simply refer to as the Travel Nazi. First let me tell you I come from a family of heinous over packers. In reality we stand in our closets and vacillate but instead of making a decision, we just pack half of ever thing we own. Then add another  bag for shoes (It could snow in Hawaii and I’ll be glad I took my snow boats!).

Well the first time I went camping with friends I was told about the travel Nazi.  I was told I could only bring one bag and I complied. Ok sooo my one bag was the size of the trunk of the car. It was all in one bag I'm doing good. My friend who picked me up laughed at me as she drove me to the Travel Nazis house.  This is where every one was meeting to regroup and hit the road.  (Now it’s been 5 years and the Travel Nazi still gives me a hard time for this moment.) She looked at me, looked at my bag, and went "Are you serious?" I was but I just averted my eyes because hers just about jumped out of there sockets. She walked away and came back with a bag about the size of a brown grocery bag and said. "If it fit’s in here you can take it!" Nothing eles she just left in the foyer to work though a life time of issues and bad home training. Well I got it together and I’m still the butt of a few jokes but I am now a master packer. So here are some tips so you’re never called out in the Travel Nazis foyer:

1. Pick a theme color
2. Jeans- dress them up dress them down and 2 pair will work for 5 days
3. 1 dress that does not wrinkle
4. Shoes 1 pair walking, 1 pair simple cute (good for walking or dancing)
5. 5 tee’s
6. 1 sweater
7. 1 hoodie or jacket
8. The necessary under garment

Your good on clothes pick up some trial sized personal hygiene products and be out. It you forgot something you needed buy it and call it a trip souvenir. Enjoy your self!
