Follow Your Dreams

Don't let anyone doubt who you are or what you can achieve until you actually try and achieve them and know for yourself. The biggest doubt is yourself and fear of failure will stop anyone in their tracks.

 

The mind is powerful. We are what we think we are, so choose wisely. There is so much out there in the world. So much hate and so much hurt. There are moments missed and moments too short to not remember that each second is valuable. If you don't do it yourself, no one will. So decide. Decide who you want to ultimately win that battle inside of you and you must decide if you will choose happiness.

 

These words are meant to strengthen and inspire. Centering oneself is a powerful tool and remembering that we can achieve great things can lead us to become something greater than we can imagine. Be creative, be bold and have an open mind.

 

 

Ahh, good times. I had to start off with that because I wanted to start off with something positive and inspiring and something that's been a topic as of late. This week is Thanksgiving, so a time to reboot, recharge and give thanks.

 

I use to think that I was getting road blocks and that when I wasn't creating everyday I was getting behind and putting too much emphasis on how much outcome I had and less on the input. What we put into our bodies is what we get out of it. So time for a revamp. Everything I did changed and it started with one small step. Breakfast. I ate differently, chose different foods and found inspiration by making myself an inspiration. I put what art I could on my nails to remind me of my desires and mood that would light my way.  

Make time for yourself, make time for others, be aware of your surroundings and never forget that anything is possible. Even the simplest things can be inspiring.

On another note, check out these brush strokes, foods and plating techniques :)

Excuse some of the blurriness because the camera is being a big poop butt, but hopefully i'll be able to fix it soon. I just wanted to be able to post something for everyone as an update since the holidays are going to be quite busy!

 

 

Until next time,

Fall Falling

Changes, Changes, Changes

As the seasons change and temperatures fluctuate, nature is a great source of inspiration for naturally occuring beauty and fuels internal motivation. Lately, some of my days have been sparked with imagination and creativity and others not so much. I've been feeling a bit bogged down and what better way to change it up than to take a breath of fresh air and take another look at my surroundings?

Unfortunately, my favorite fall red leaves weren't on the ground yet, but the yellows still made a beautiful mix of colors. Maybe that's why I added the Red type into the photo for a graphic contrast. I hope to bring you more goodies now that i'm all cozied up and inspired by texture and warmth. Where will you go for inspiration today?

Design Mee Mugs

Super excited to make more mugs for the shop! The one shown above was designed and hand painted by meeeee and more will be coming with my original artworks on them. I love how the minimal abstract design can go with simple or more personalized styles. Can't wait 'til everything gets finalized. What would u like on your mug?

Shop coming soon!

Hi Everyone!

Excited to announce some new developments coming soon to the site and changes to incorporate some of the things I've been working on. A shop will soon be available so stay tuned!!! Feel free to like and follow for continued updates so that with enough support i'll be able to offer more in the future.




   

Pre/PostOp Gifts

Looking for something to tide you over when you'll be having cabin fever?

Make a checklist of things to have before you bunker down in your abode:

1.  A calendar to keep track of time - yes you can use the one on your phone, but what if there's a power outage or what if you need a little pick me up and learn through tactile senses? It only helps that you're staring at something motivational, like a zombie killing fighting machine in times of need :)

2. Cozy socks - Definitely helps that one of the coldest parts of the body, in my opinion, is comforted and it's definitely a plus if they're printed so that you don't fall into the cave-person-slump. Feel lively and energetic as you take care of yourself with these simple items.

 

 

3. A shawl/sweater/drapery of some sort - helps to just throw something around yourself in case you get chilly and if unexpected company stops by. Opt for something simple so that it will go with whatever gear you have underneath. I've been wearing mine day in and day out to give me the cozy feeling I need no matter what the temperature is outside. Also take into account the lightweight material. Choose something easy to carry and put on. The last thing you want is to feel like you're carrying 5 people on your back while doing squats... eeks.


Thanks to my thoughtful sisters, i've received some amazing and simple gifts for my recovery time.  Unfortunately, i'll be undergoing another surgery and hopefully it'll be my last. Two surgeries in 3 months time is a lot to handle and takes a lot of consideration. Crossing my fingers for a positive outcome and i'm fortunate to have these wonderful gifts to tide me over a second time. 





Statement Accessories to Bring the 'Mee' Out of You

As Spring looms with rain and stormy forecasts, it is also a reminder that Summer is coming. Through the rain and sun, eating and partying, here are my picks for accessories that will bring lift to your soul instead of weigh you down. Hopefully, they'll bring out our your own personalized style as they are easily interchangeable with whatever idea you come up with.



 These will stand the test of time and are great additions to any collection.  What adds that 'oomph' to your own life?  

 

    

From Winter to Spring : A Curators' Love

For some individuals, curating comes not just in the form of a hobby, but true and real passion. It's not just pressing all the "like" buttons out there to get attention, but actually investing a part of ourselves by saying, I accept this as a representation of what i'm trying to achieve. There is no right or wrong. Instead, curators showcase to the world what can be, could be, and perhaps will be. They take the best of the best based on their vision.

 

As Spring approaches, I am reminded that I need a new inspiration board to get me through this climate transition and another turmoil... surgery. It'll be my second surgery in 3 months and I absolutely am not looking forward to it. I need to keep myself going and absolutely have to make sure that I don't sacrifice a part of myself and most importantly, my sanity!!! Thus, my curative vision has currently encompassed some of my daily needs.

 

Qualifications:

1. Comfortable

2. Flats

3. Easy and interchangeable items of clothing

4. Effortless

5. Conveys relaxed yet upbeat mood
