BLURB INSTAGRAM BOOK KEEPSAKES

Most of you know by now my obsession with Instagram.  I kind of can't seem to stop taking them!  But as much as I love the super quick capability of capturing random daily moments, I don't like that I don't have any hard copies of my photos anymore.  Going to drop off your film at the store and waiting for prints is no longer a part of my life.  For a long time now I've been wanting to create some photo books of our favorite memories, and I finally did so a while back with Blurb.  I'm pretty much in love with Blurb.  They are so easy to use, and very affordable compared to other book makers online.  

I made one for James for our anniversary in September.  I called it Twenty Seasons, to mark our 5 year anniversary.  I love that you can title it yourself with anything you want!  I made another one just for fun of other sweet memories.  These two books I used all Instagram photos, but you can use any photos through Blurb.  And the cool part is you can layout each page however you want.  You can even write words on each page if you want, there are so many options.  I just went for a super clean and simple layout with these.  It lets you automatically upload your pics from Instagram, so it is seriously so simple!  

I think these would make amazing christmas gifts... Or gifts for any other season or special moment.  Or keepsake for your childrens photos.  Or to have a hard copy of your best photography work to show clients.  So many endless possibilities.  

If any of you want to make your own Blurb book, you can get a 15% discount by clicking on their button on the left side banner (under my instagram pics) or click the link below.

MOON TIME ECOURSE GIVEAWAY

The Moon is apart of a woman's life so intimately. Our menstrual cycle is physically connected to the Moon's cycle of 28 1/2 days. Meaning our hormones, moods, energy levels, emotions, thoughts, spirit are all affected by the Moon! However, as modern technology, over-population, hormonal contraceptives, poor diets, and an estranged relationship to nature have become the norm for a typical woman in Western Society, we have lost track of this sacred cycle in our lives. We don't have a consistent moon cycle nowadays, so it is easy to set this cycle aside and "deal" with it when it arrives. 

This e-course is designed for women to get back in touch with what makes us truly feminine. Our moon-times are a time of month for us to honor, retreat, create, and rest in our sacredness and femininity.  I will provide 7 days of nourishing, soulful, creative activities you can do to get in touch with your unique flow and rhythm. You can skip around, pick and choose, repeat, or take this course day by day while on your moon-time to help you create your own nourishing cycle.

There will be:
*Meditations
*Chakra work
*Lunar wisdom
*Goddess rituals
*Opening and Closing ceremony
*Journal pages
*A private Facebook group to be
surrounded by a supportive,
healing circle of women

Let's learn how to honor this part of ourselves again.

 

 

There will be four winners for each phase of the Moon: New, Waxing, Full, Waning.

THREADS - CARAMEL & TEDDY BEAR

I'm excited to post this outfit post today, for a number of reasons... The biggest one being that I was even able to do something extracurricular like take photos of my outfit today.  My days have been spent doing nothing but sitting in this computer chair, editing and working on the collective.  Im not even joking.  The breaks I have taken are for eating and peeing, with the occasional 'freak out' I have do to something else before I go insane. 

After going to bed last night almost in tears... I got a migraine in the middle of the night.  Not really to my surprise b/c its almost my moontime, which migraines come with the territory for me.  But then I woke up this morning still with it, and then... my computer would not turn on.  I tried for a few hours to get it to turn on, and I was convinced it was fried.  (insert total freak out crying melt down).  Yep, that was me this morning.  Luckily, I have a husband with magic fingers, and when he got home from work, he pressed the button and it turned on without a problem for him.  Figures.  So after a big sigh of relief, I got to work.

BUT, I had a few hours in between!!!  So, I actually took a shower, fixed my hair, put on makeup and got dressed!  (something that hasn't happened all week, which can start to make a girl feel like blah).  I needed to take photos of James new shirts for Skyline Fever, so I did that.  I swept my house (gasping at how dirty it was) and cleaned my kitchen.  Then I took my photos!  This was one of the most transitional outfits ever.  I lounged around the house in these leggings and long tee, and then just put on shoes and a jacket to go out and it turned it into a great outfit!  I will be planning more wardrobe pieces like this.  Way too easy.  Then once my computer was on again, I edited tons of photos of new jewelry for the shop, along with other many other photos.  So what began as a meltdown morning, ended up being a very productive day in other ways.  And I must say, it felt pretty darn good to feel clean and pretty after this week.
