Holiday Sparkle

Ever have one of those days when is hard to find the sparkle inside? It's been a rough couple of days but today has proven to be most difficult. Sometimes dreaming can make this worse and thinking what could be or what has happened just gets in the way of moving forward, but remember there is always a star that shines bright in all of us... we just gotta find it. 

Lights are up and people are either happy with joy or down with their luck every winter season. It's hard to find those just muddling in between, or perhaps they're everywhere and people are too busy to notice. It's all about making time. It's about making sure that we don't forget about the little things and the people or the parts in our lives that add meaning. Sometimes finding that sparkle and creating it around you will make a big difference and an even more gratifying outcome than searching for it in places that don't exist. We only have control over ourselves and with our own spark, you can make anything shine bright!



I took some much needed love for myself and took 2 of my beloved nail polishes and layered them together. I found the best way to do this is by first applying the glitter coats then applying confetti on top. The mix of glitter and large confetti helps the glow from any angle. Also make sure that the two colors enhance each other but are not the same. The glitter pieces are very fine and pink while the confetti pieces are bold and bright gold. Most importantly, have fun with your creations! 

Take the smallest time and make an effort for the little things that maybe we forgot were a part of our daily lives. Be your own light and others will follow in your footsteps. It all starts within ourselves. 

Shine bright Mee Lovelies!

Doctors for Christmas



' Tis the season to do more than be greedy this holiday season.


Right: Dr. Marten's

The countdown is on and i will be getting hip surgery in a couple of weeks but also so Christmas nearing. I will be donating my Dr. Martens above and a few more items for those who do not have the necessities this holiday season. With all the glitz and glam that surrounds us sometimes it's easy to forget there are others with less than what we have.

Let's try to give back and spread the movement! Sometimes all you need is to give love in order to receive it. Send it share it spread it. Infect the world with love!

Crushin' Winter

While working on some undergoing projects, i had trouble focusing today. I put on my favorite bits and proceeded to mentally wash everything away.


Above are some of my darker pieces: the one on the right is vintage and the other from forever21. I'm a big believer in being able to find or create affordable items without sacrificing personal style.

Whenever we find ourselves in a rut or bombarded by white noise, why not take the little things in life we enjoy and the inspiration it takes for us to move forward on our own path? Each day is journey... why not stylize it? 





What themes do you find yourself going for this winter?
