Hello
//
How has your Sunday been? I love Sundays. They're perfect for doing simple, quiet things you've been meaning to do all week but it's also a perfect day to bum around the apartment or visit family and friends. Today Isaac went out with his friends to a tattoo event they were holding. Thirty dollar tattoos you can choose from and all proceeds go to a no-kill animal shelter. It's a pretty great event. He's been over there all day covering it for his blog and was planning on getting a tattoo. So that left me alone and I decided to go out to breakfast and spend time with my family. Afterwards I came home and blogged and napped with all my babies. In the mornings I took some photos around the apartment. The light was brilliant.

When I got my haircut I told my stylist to give me something that would like nice both straight and wavy because my hair is naturally wavy and most times I'm lazy and don't feel like doing anything to it. And when I was at Sephora I saw this spray for your hair by Charlotte Ronson. It's called
a perfect mess and gives you beach hair. I bought it without thinking twice because it reminded me of that John Frieda one they sold at drugstores years ago that did the same thing and smelled beachy. I was hoping it would work and I totally was not let down. I sprayed it on while my hair was damp and let it air dry. It smelled wonderful and has a nice hold to it. It made my waves more pronounced and not frizzy at all. This thing is amazing, guys. I love it.
Lately I have been reading this book on Shintoism. I'm intrigued and feel like it speaks to me. I've never felt any spirituality and had always considered myself a non-believer. But I suppose now that I am getting older and my life is falling into place, I feel like I am missing something and I suspect it's my non-existent spirituality but I also know that Western organized religion is not for me. I came upon this book while working at my library and decided to have a look. I didn't expect to have such a connection with it but, for me, Shintoism makes sense. This is a bit personal for me, writing this out, but I wanted to share and hope that's all right. I would like to read more about it and maybe more about Eastern religions and see what I think and how I feel about it afterwards. I have a stack of library books by my side of the bed. Books on screenprinting, french literature, Surrealism and watercoloring. (On a less serious note, I was happy to have found a case for my iPad and it's gold!)
Some recent favorite outfits. Vintage silk crop top, vintage silk flower skirt, olive green knit from Forever 21, pleated black maxi skirt by Kensie, and another pale pink and cream vintage top. I love that black pleated skirt. Been wearing it all day. And finally, a mini crafting project I did the other night. My friend brought me back two large shells from the beach. I thought about what I could do with them and realized they were the perfect shape to hold jewelry so I bought some gold, pale pink and pale blue craft paint. I painted the insides gold and the other edges the other colors. They came out beautifully, I think, and now they sit atop my dresser.
