halloween deja vu

best day of the year!

hi guys and dolls...happy halloween!

this is my favorite day of the entire year. i wait patiently for this fabulous day to roll around each and every year.

with less than half an hour remaining i am a bit sad but tonight was great. i took my cousin trick-or-treating and picked up a few pieces of candy myself. yes that's right, i still go trick-or-treating. you're never too old for fun.

we dressed up and painted the town red...blood red if you will. i was a brain thirsty zombie and managed to scare a few souls here and there. (photos are on their way, just gotta get them off my sister's phone).

with this halloween almost behind me...i gotta start thinking about next year's costume.

care to share your halloween tricks and or treats with me? send me photos of your costumes or just share how you spent this all hallows eve.

back from hiatus

after a short hiatus i have decided to come back with a bang...and a whole new website.


i have been hard at work to show all you wonderful people my portfolio of work. it was super fun to make and i think that it shows off not just my art but my personality as well.

let me know what you think. view website here.

spoiler alert: the next post just might have something to do with halloween!

Nail Art: Yikes, Stripes!

I went to Target with my sister yesterday and found some fun stuff.

The base color is by Sally Hansen called Commander in Chic. It's a complete salon manicure in a bottle.

The zebra stripes were added using an ultra thin brush made by Kiss. You can use the stencils that come with this three colored set or just free hand it like I did.

Any idears on what I should do next?

A New Addition

I just bought a bike! It's a Schwinn World Tourist.

I left my other one in Oakland and since the weather is cooling down in Northridge I wanted to go for a ride.

The roads are mostly flat and we now have bike lanes, so riding will be fun. I hope I can go out later today...

Dalton Ghetti

I saw this on a friend of a friend's blog and liked it soooooo much that I just had to re-post it.

Dalton Ghetti is the artist. Three words: Fan-tas-tic!

Nail Art: Seeing Spots

I find myself in great need of an artist outlet these days. What better place to experiment than on your nails?!

Since it's still summer I chose some fun bright colors and added spots to make the fun even more fun.

Gotta get some ideas for the next time...and some lotion teehee.

Fin

I finally finished the desk that I bought off of craigslist and fixed up.

Let me know what you think.

El to the Aye

I found myself back in Los Angeles due to some personal reasons. I am making the best out of this temporary move home by taking on some projects. One big one is to completely redecorate my room. I started by stalking craigslist for some new furniture. I found the IKEA cabinet in yellow, that I have been wanting for about a year now for super cheap and this great adorable desk.

It was a nice green color but the paint was chipping and there were some bumps and bruises that needed mending. I sanded all the imperfections and picked up this great color called Coral Bliss from the hardware store.

I am not done yet but here is what I started with. I wish I took a photo before I primed but oh well.







I am just about done painting and will post the completed desk then.

Nail Art

This is sort of a late post but I still wanted to share this great find!

I went to a wedding this past weekend and I wanted something funky accessory-wise. I ended up at Sephora where I found adorable nail decor. It's called Chic Print for Nails by OPI.

They were kinda more than I would have liked to pay but a lot cheaper than going to a nail place. It was pretty easy to put them on and the good part is that I only used half the prints, so there is enough for a second coming!

I ended up having a lot of nail conversations that weekend. I felt like such a girl!
