WHAT'S YOUR AURA LOOK LIKE?

today me, andrea and hazel went to chinatown to get our aura's read and it was a really interesting experience. 

you walk into the little store full of crystals and they take your photo for a small fee. after a short developing time, they walk you through the picture and what the different colors, brightnesses, and shapes mean in relationship to you and your life.

it was pretty much spot on

fun thing to do on a winter afternoon.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S COLD?

it was three degrees this morning so i'm going into full-on denial mode and transporting myself mentally to warmer, more tropical times.

EMOJI'S IN THE WILD

 

realized i never posted about the emoji balloons i sell in my etsy shop! 

i sell six different emoji's by themselves as well as in sets of 6, 50 or 100. they ship deflated so you decide when you want to inflate your emotions.

check 'em out yourself here

thanks to nina for taking the pics!

MY VALENTINES

 

i've always been a fan of holidays, or rather, having an excuse to celebrate for any reason. but now that we have a little girl it's even more fun to find ways to make some days a little more special than others.

tonight chris and i are continuing our valentines day tradition of making crab rangoons and sushi from scratch, and drinking a little champagne (and this year some sake). we'll just keep the wasabi away from the baby.

happy valentines day friends!

#SUSANDSTEE

last weekend i made a quick trip to austin for susannah and steve's wedding. i was bummed chris and hazel couldn't make the trek with me but it was good to have a weekend solo to catch up with a bunch of old friends who i haven't seen in way too long.

friends traveled from missouri, chicago, LA , and new york to come together to celebrate these two and it was a ton of fun.

highlights include non-stop dancing, meeting sissy spacek, a conga line, and the bride singing 'this is how we do it' (her go-to karaoke jam) for the crowd.

BABY'S FIRST PASSPORT STAMP

as i mentioned, we went to tortola, a british virgin island for a week with two other couples and their kids, and it friggin ruled.

it was everything we wanted (and needed) - sunshine, beautiful views, sand, good friends, and rum. lots and lots of rum.

gonna try to make our little vacation club a reoccurring event. sure would be great to see these kids get big together in this tropical paradise.

ISLAND TIME

we got back sunday from our epic island vacation in tortola to a cold and snowy nyc. dropping off two rolls of film today so hopefully i'll be able to relive the magic (and warmth) with lots of photos very shortly.
