TOTAL RELAXATION AT ART SPA

First of all, can I just say I have some fucking rad women in my life.  Period.  A few months back, the amazing girls who co-author the Bohemian Collective with me all pitched in and surprised me with a spa gift certificate for whatever I wanted to get, to pamper myself with as a thank you for the hard work I put into creating this site, and as a thank you for asking them to come on board with me and share the space.  Needless to say, its the best thing Ive ever done.  This site went from something I felt was drowning b/c I could not keep up with it myself on top of my day job, my own blog, and partnering with James company.  It was such a big dream of mine and I felt like it was going down the drain b/c I just couldn't do it all.  Asking for help was the best decision Ive ever made.  And I love The Bohemian Collective more than I ever had before when it was just me.  Having all of these amazingly rad spirited women collectively share their hearts in this one space... its been life changing.  They inspire me!  And my excitement for this site has grown exponentially since they came on board. 

I was completely overjoyed and surprised when they generously gifted me this gift.  I was having a hard time deciding when to use it, b/c something like this I didn't want to just use on a whim, I wanted it to be special.  So about two months ago when I found out we were taking another women's trip I thought it would be perfect to kick it off with this massage.  Right before I went to schedule it I found out the my aunt was also planning on getting a massage before the trip, so I sweet talked her into coming with me! 

When we pulled up to this little building my heart melted.  Right there in the middle of the bustling city was this little green gem tucked away that instantly felt like home.  Then I walked inside and it completely reminded me of a little homey coffee shop in austin, from the chalk board menu, to beautiful cluttered things to pamper yourself with, to the earthy smell, to the paint and zen like decor, to the adorable girls who run the place.  It was perfect.  And it was the most laid back massage place Id ever been to in the city.  My massage therapist was super sweet and gave me the BEST massage Ive ever had (and Ive had some damn good ones).  Its like she intuitively knew my body already.  If anyone goes to Art Body Spa in San Antonio, ask for Tiffany!  Can't wait to go back to see her one day.  And next time Ill take my time and take photos, and really get to look through all their goodies.  We had hungry people waiting for us to pick up chinese when we were done, so we left quickly.  But I made my aunt snap these two picks below before we left!  The perfect way to start off a vacation.  Ahhhhh.....

These are from the day we went to see Jamestown Revival play.  I conned James into taking a few shots with me.  Rare, but I love it when it happens.  Man it was such a good night...  Now onto one of my alltime favorite outfits...

This week has been full of furry babies, good food, making orders and rain.  Lots of rain.  We actually got a pretty good flood at the river by our house.  It should be just right to swim in in about a week I'm hoping! 

It's been an emotional week too.  We found out Violet had skin cancer and a few days after that we had her in the vet for surgery.  She is doing really well!  She has to wear a cone collar for two weeks, but we can handle that!  We are just glad we caught it so early. 

Bella has been a goofball all week.  Lots of silly playing.  She has decided the empty cubby above in our shipping mailer area is her new spot to chill while we work on printing shirts.  She gets in it everytime!  So so cute. 

This week we made homeade burgers & fries... blackened salmon salad... pasta with zucchini, asian chicken & rice tacos... mmmmmmm...  And over the weekend we went to a bbq at our friends house and lots of yummy food there too!  Its been a good food week.  :)

I worked on tons of orders for Roots & Feathers after my sale!  Almost done, but still a few I won't be able to get to until I return home from vaca.  I leave today and don't get back till monday evening.  Luckily just I am leaving so James will be home all weekend to take care of Violet! 

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!  I have a few posts that will go up over the weekend, I just won't be here to respond.  Peace!

ADORN ME // CUSTOMER LOVE

I'm so excited to introduce a little series here on the blog dedicated to my most loyal Roots & Feathers customers!  Over the years I have had a few customers who grown quite the collections of my work, and I must say, rad girls tend to be behind the scences!  So I thought it would be fun to get to know some of them and see how they style my work.  We are kicking this off with the soulful, traveling gypsy, Alicia Thiede of Milagro Girl.

My family and I live full time in an RV, traveling and exploring along the way. I’m a true gypsy soul. With such limited space and the ability to only have things that are beautiful (or useful) l I am in love with Roots and Feathers. I wish I could explain to you the way it feels to wear what Laura creates. It’s like there are little bits of magic woven in. When I received my Luna Dreams necklace I fell head over heals. My friend Hillary gifted me the feather necklace that I’m wearing in my new blog banner and while the photos that Laura uses are so stunning, they can’t begin to capture the quality and beauty of her work. Life in my motorhome is cozy and I love these so much that I leave them all dangling from the cabinet knobs above my bed. I cannot wait to add more to my collection. These are by far some of my most treasured belongings.
