I've been meaning to post photos of my recent giveaway but I have been a little busy celebrating. On Thursday I turned 28 years old and on that day I announced the winner of my giveaway. I made a fun cluster ring featuring a vintage Peruvian ceramic cabochon & 5 sleeping beauty cabochons. I use a number generator to pick my winner and the number landed on Amber! {@femma_default} I was so happy that I could brighten up her day. She told me she danced for 20 mins before she could even respond lol. I am very excited for her and can't wait to ship this baby out! <<<>>> <<>> <<<>>>  
   {I had to get a shot with the Sheriff's Badge Ring}   ^I love this back and am planning on making it as its own ring^

I gifted myself this awesome turquoise butterfly open necklace. Last summer I made a similar necklace that is featured in The Turquoise Sea Collection. It was a American Turquoise open necklace with carved turquoise leaves. I think it was the prettiest piece of jewelry I ever made. It sold right away to a friend of mine, so I get to see it every once in awhile. But ever since then I knew I needed to find similar cabs so I could make it again for me. I never did find carved leaves that were as pretty. But, I did find these natural turquoise butterfly cabs that were mined at the Old Tunnel Mine Cananea, in Sonora, Mexico. They are absolutely gorgeous! I could not be any happier with how this necklace turned out. I had the best time putting together this giveaway and am certainly looking forward to the next! <<<>>> Xo! <<>>

“There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty.” <<<<<>>>>> Spring has snuck up on us again and usually it's around this time of the year in which I wish I didn't act as if I were a hibernating grizzly bear throughout the winter. This year especially since I've been working from home and during this period my diet has consisted mostly of carbs. I swear there was no good reason to leave my house at all! Except mailing out packages of course . <<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>> Anyway, this is the time where women, myself included, are really not that into themselves. I try not to take myself that seriously, especially when it comes to body image. When I was a little girl, I hated myself. I literally hated everything about me. I think I wasted way too many years as a child feeling bad about myself. And now that I am an adult, I have decide not to give my energy to negative thinking about my body. I just don't have the time for all that. I am running a business after all & put forth everything towards it.. But, I do know that summer is right around the corner. And I also know that just because I put all of me into my business, it doesn't mean I can't take care of myself. I mean, a girl can do it all, right? <<<<<<<>>>>>>> Although I'm not 100% happy with how I look, I am comfortable in my skin. Yesterday I did a photo shoot in more of an intimate setting. Wearing nothing but undergarments, a kimono & a hat. I think that it is okay to feel vulnerable. Step outside your comfort zone, bare all & to put yourself out there. Be courageous. Don't forget to {Love} yourself along the journey. <<>> To me, the photos I took yesterday speak confidence & self Love. Your probably wondering why there are so many of basically the same picture of me. The truth is I just could not pick favorites! But, If I'd have to choose, I think I like the last photo the best. I like it because my face is light and it reminds me that we're all pretty much beings of light anyways. What you look like, doesn't matter at all. What matters is how you feel about yourself. I can finally say that as a almost 28 year woman, that I am OKAY with who I am. I also know that I can do, be, feel, & look however I want. All I have to do is put in the work all the while thinking and feeling positive. That to me is a comforting thought. You want something? You do it, you go after it, you put in the work and it's yours. In the meanwhile, until your willing to make the changes in your life that you feel that you need to.... Love Thyself anyway... <<>> Xo Wearing: Hat: Target Hat Band Seven Seas Tribal Kimono: Urban Bird Boutique Jewels: The Turquoise Forest <<<>>> “When she transformed into a butterfly, the caterpillars spoke not of her beauty, but of her weirdness. They wanted her to change back into what she always had been. But she had wings.” |
