  • In an attempt to save time

    September 27, 2017December 12, 2018

    In an attempt to save time, I successfully gave myself a bang trim, (or actually pretty much recut my bangs since they had become a long shaggy non-bang.) Any former hair stylists of mine might

    September 13, 2017December 12, 2018

    Somehow after having a kid, the back 2/3 of my hair are now wavy, and whenever I wake up I tend to resemble Duff from Guns N Roses. However, lately I’ve been sleeping with my

  • A lot of people go lighter

    August 1, 2017December 12, 2018

    April 15, 2017December 12, 2018

    January 24, 2017December 12, 2018

    Ok, I have important things to talk abut and share, but sometimes there just are freakishly good hair days that are worth documenting too.  My hair was actually clean for this one, which has me

    November 22, 2016December 12, 2018

    Even sweater weather calls for a flower in your hair. (Sorry, couldn’t decide on a filter. It happens.)  So, about this sweater. Since I’ve gotten a bunch of questions where I got it, just by

    November 10, 2016December 12, 2018

    So this is pretty cool. And amusing. And long overdue in sharing. This summer I made a video for Brocato showing how to use their Vibrastrait flat iron to easily make some messy beach waves.

    October 31, 2016December 12, 2018

    If you see me doing my hair like this rather frequently, It’s because 1: it’s super easy and 2: Looks like I have a lot more hair (and really know how to style it well)

    September 29, 2016December 12, 2018

    It’s the small victories sometimes. Like my hair today, for example. I’ve been trying to achieve this type of wet beach wave look for over a week now, and finally figured it out. High five.

    Here’s the last painting I did before I packed up Here’s the last painting I did before I packed up my office…and I haven’t touched a brush since. Feels weird, but the break helped get lots of ideas brewin’ now, too. 🎨🧡 Life’s a beach. Embrace the mess and get the tattoo. #goldfishkissart #watercolor #radart

    Well, in life update news, we moved to Michigan. T Well, in life update news, we moved to Michigan. Two days after saying goodbye to Kili, I said bye to beach life, felt like a chapter of life I loved was slammed shut, and all the air and motivation was knocked out of me. Changes like this take time, and the idea of ever being truly settled in is a bit foreign to me. But, you just have to look for the little glimmers in ordinary days (what’s in all these pics), be present, get out and about, and choose joy while also giving those tears permission to flow. Ok, and say hi to every dog I can, while holding onto summer as long as I can, too. But I hear Fall is next level up here. 🧡

So, if you’ve been following me for a while, life’s taken us many places. I feel like I’m part chameleon and part lone wolf by now, and we will see what this new season brings. I have a feeling Lake Michigan and the upper peninsula will be my happy place, so hopefully we’ll make it out there a bunch. Life’s crazy. Wear a helmet and thank goodness for Facebook marketplace. And that I didn’t give away all my cold weather gear.
    Well, I had to say goodbye to my best four-legged Well, I had to say goodbye to my best four-legged friend, then to life at the beach in a matter of a few days. Life’s been heavy, full of random ugly cries, a bit of a blur, and my brain fog is at capacity, all while having one too many tabs open, too.

But I did manage to scribble down some journal thoughts before the move, and wanted to share. I love these things.

I’ll post a bunch of final beach pics and about life in our new location soon. But for now, I’m just taking it one day at a time.

Or in this case, page. Hope they’re somewhat legible. 🌊❤️‍🩹🖊️ #goldfishkisswriting #thoughts
    How do you sum up an incredible life in few slides How do you sum up an incredible life in few slides and words…I can’t. This loss is such a deep hurt, and the love is so pure. Kili pup, I miss you, and my heart is so damn heavy. Run wild, run free, soak up the sun, steal all the pizza, and find all the sticks and tennis balls, my best four legged friend. ❤️‍🩹🐾
