Feeling Green

 It is Thursday, and I could not be happier. Tomorrow is Good Friday which for the greater majority of us means no work. This morning has been rough, here in Houston it thundered and rained like crazy all night which means that I was in a deep snooze.

Needless to say I didn't so much as hear any alarm ring and was a few minutes late to work. Since it is spring I am all about bright and inviting colors as always, so since it has been rainy and gloomy all day I decided to make a pick me up green smoothie. This little guy is made with love and is all organic. Here are the ingredients that are sure not to only give you a boost, but also are a much better choice than soda, and I might argue sometimes coffee (gotta have my Starbucks). But without further ado:

One green apple- organic (got all at Whole Foods)

Four strawberries

Chia seeds

Half of a Kiwi

Three Blueberries

A handful of Spinach

Blend and Enjoy!

Love Soul Style

I recently have been super caught up with work.. it has been crazy, sometimes sitting in front of a computer at a desk all day makes you not want to be close to one at all..for a while. I have been in a slump,writing just hasn't been something I've been wanting to do but I am sitting here with at the peak of my caffeine levels an am finally writing (music helps too).I had to drag myself out of the house because it was almost like I never had coffee all day or energy for that matter. But what's important is that I am here to talk about my recent collaboration, with Love Soul Style a brand of boho bracelets that helps women embrace who they are, with the struggles and insecurities we all have.

 I am collaborating to inspire other women to be who they are and embrace all of their flaws the actual ones and the ones other people make us think we have. I remember always loving to have my hair curly as a little girl, and as I grew older I remember someone at school making fun of me for wearing my hair curly, maybe it was because in middle school everyone is mean intentionally or are insecure themselves. Either way I remember not wearing my hair curly for years only during the summer occasionally until just recently.

DYI Fringe

 Fringe skirts .. how can I begin to describe fringe skirts. They have become one of our guilty pleasures (admit it). And I being the huge skirt fan that I have become went on the hunt for a good spring skirt. This skirt did not look like this when it first caught my eye at a vintage shop months ago along with a Ralph Lauren one I scored for a good price. Since I personally did't not like the fact that it was too long and I stepped on it (sorry I'm short).

So since I had yet to have my needs fulfilled with having a fringe skirt in my closet I decided to make one. I sat for a while and thought deeply of how bad I could mess it up but then the thought creeped that this specific skirt wasn't very expensive (compared to the Ralph Lauren one) and that I could do something I really liked to it. I went for it dug through all my sewing supplies, found my scissors and went for it. The result.. a few miss cuts here and there which are not noticeable at all now when the entire skirt is finished and is flowing freely.  So after a painstaking hour of cutting and making sure I didn't cut crooked I was excited to try it on and I have to tell you it was well worth it. So the end result seven dollars can get you a spring skirt to love. Get your shopping on, and bring out those scissors. My sandals are from Charlotte Russe but they are sold out (sad face) Oh and did I mention I did not map out my lines to cut? Lol What do you guys think? Would you wear this or try it at home? Let me know! Also I had to do a little dance to show you guys how it flows hehe.
