Well folks, I don't know what  to tell you......

ANOTHER GREAT DAY I SAY! Yes, indeed it was. Yesterday was another day of photography and this time the style was a little different. This time I had a friend Alex pose for me :)

It was fun to do a shoot with this girl because her style is a little different, which makes me love it! I should love it because Alex and I spent, I think, an hour planning out the outfit LOL!!Maybe you can tell just why this was a fun shoot for me, by looking at these photos....!!!!!

Enjoy :)

HOLY COW!!!! I can't believe that yesterday was the third day in a ROW that I did some photography work!

Yesterday was a beautiful day and I couldn't let it go to waste! So guess who I gave a call to? 
LAUREN :)

Yep, I got my girl to agree to another photo shoot and this time we wanted to go with a Flower Power type of theme. But instead of the usual spots around our apartment we decided to go to a near by park to take pictures. Although we got a little lost at first we finally found the park and then the magic began!

So ladies and gentlemen here are some pictures from yesterday's adventure! ENJOY :)

Until Next Time :)

I'm On A Journey For Photography

"Take A Picture I Hear It Lasts Longer"

"There and back again. A Hobbit's tale".....haha JK :) 

HEY!!! So first off, totally want to apologize about not posting new blogs recently. I have been a tad bit busy with that thing called....oh right LIFE! School and other stuff love to get in the way and keep me distracted lol. 


But with no further delay, let me show you what I have been up to these past 2 days!!!!

It's pretty clear that I LOVE LOVE LOVE taking pictures :D I mentioned in a previous post that photography is not just a hobby that I love, but it is also a means of escape for me when the world around me gets a little blue. So the last two days I have been snapping away with my camera. 

On Monday, I asked my roommate Lauren if she could model for me. I was actually getting my "cheap" art supplies (oh my credit card was seriously damaged with that expense) when I realized that once I got back to my apartment I didn't really have an agenda. So I thought, "Perfect chance to take some pictures!", plus the weather was really nice that day too. 

For some of you who haven't seen previous pictures I use Lauren a lot for photos because she is my roommate and she is always willing to help me out :) I love her haha!!

:D Those pictures were just a few I picked out, because they stand out to me more.

Now moving right along to what I did Tuesday which was in fact yesterday lol! Yesterday my photo shoot with my friend Desiree was also a last minute thing. I was feeling a bit down and I wanted to get my mind off a few things. So I hit my girl up and she agreed to help me out! She was a little nervous at first but we both laughed a lot because this was something she wasn't use to but looking at the pictures, she definitely did a great job!!!

These are just a few of the pictures I took of Desiree! I want her to know I am extremely grateful she helped me out yesterday, because I just get soooo much joy when I get to edit pictures lol.

If anyone reading this blog and have read others where I mention my photography below is a link to my facebook page I recently created, so definitely go check it out!!

Thank You!!!!!

and....

until next time ;)

Saving A Life

 Today I Helped Rescue A Pigeon

 So today I woke up debating if I wanted to go to Michaels ( in Rockville) or Joanne's Fabrics (in College Park). Thank God I was feeling too lazy to the point that I didn't want to drive to Rockville because it just so happens that when I went to the Shopping mall area where Joanne's Fabric is located, an injured pigeon was in need of some rescuing! A lot of people just looked at the poor bird and just continued to walk away, not me! I literally sat next to the little one and checked for any bleeding or serious injuries on the outside. The pigeon did not attempt to fly away when I sat next to it. So I called up 911 who directed me to Animal Control. When I called them they said they would send someone as soon as they could. Well I was sitting there for a good 20-25 minutes and still nothing. Then a man walked up to me and asked if the bird was hurt. I told him that I didn't know for sure, and I also told him that I was waiting for help. He then told me that he did the same once but help for the bird he was trying to save came the next day. The man then found a plastic bag helped me wrap the bird up and directed me to a man in the mall with a Pet Store. So I carried the pigeon through the mall and found the Pet Store, where a man took the pigeon from me examined him and then looked at me and said, "This little guy would be safe with him." He told me he would make extra sure he could do everything in his power to make sure the bird would feel safe and relaxed.

After I left the bird in good hands, I couldn't help but think, "Wow if I had chosen to have gone to Rockville I would have not been able to help this pigeon out. "

My Stunning Studded Backpack :)

DIY Denim Backpack!
Crafty Little Me


So I recently got back into my crafty side again. Over the past 2 weeks, creative ideas have been running back and forth in my head...and its TOTALLY CRAY!.....okay so I have Pinterest to blame for this sudden outburst of ideas lol.

I can't help how short of an attention span I have when it comes to school stuff versus when it's time to get crafty lol. One of the crafty ideas I had been thinking about a lot, was to find a way to spice up my light blue denim backpack my boyfriend got me as a gift :) !!!!

I love seeing the different types of bags girls have to carry their school stuff in, whether it's an actual backpack, a larger purse, or a tote bag. I love admiring how some of the girl's personalize their bag with pins, ribbons, paint and other materials to make it their own. 

For those who don't know me, I'm basically obsessed with bags, not just purses but backpacks and totes. I have no idea where this obsession first started but it happened and it's taking over my life :( lol jk! I just love when bags have the special "WOW" factor to them. But to me it means a little more when you add something to your bag that symbols you and your taste. 

That's why I wanted to decorate my denim backpack! 

The bag was bought at American Apparel and I believe my boyfriend said it was around 40 dollars. It took me a bit of time to know exactly what I wanted to do with it, to make it come alive. I did consider using my favorite colors of paint patterns and splatter it on the bag (but I didn't warm up enough to that idea), I also considered just putting different pins on it (but felt that wasn't something of my taste), I also thought of putting cute patches on the bag, I found an adorable patch on Etsy which I loved but it was a little big, and I questioned if it would fit in the area of the bag I wanted it to be. 

....but FINALLY I thought of an idea that just felt right for me :) 

I remember seeing a nice blue fabric with a small amount of dark pink and light pink which formed some floral designs, at Joanne's Fabric. Best believe that once I knew what I wanted, I got in my car and raced over to Joanne's! They had the fabric I wanted (so check) then I also wanted to add some studs to my bag as well so I definitely grabbed those off the shelf!

After collecting all my materials, time to get crafting! Okay so let me admit something first....I'm not the best sewer in the world :( Having that said I had to ask my Mama if she could help me stitch the fabric to the bag. With her skills she did an amazing job and if I did it myself...well I don't honestly know what the final outcome would have been lol :) After she finished I put the studs on which was a bit painful at times but I survived LOL!

I know that when some people see the final product, they may have thoughts like "That's it? It's so simple." But to me I love how my bag came out, I didn't want to do to much to it because I felt to much would be overwhelming to me. PLus I like things that cute and simple :) 

Well with everything said and done here is my backpack!!! :)))

Good Luck Charlie Does It Big

 Thumbs Up For Good Luck Charlie!!

Hello to Everyone....who reads my blog posts lol

Now I am not sure how many of you know the show Good Luck Charlie that is aired on Disney channel, but for those who don't let me start off by saying its a great show! I love it!

For those of you familiar with the show did you hear about what they did?!

Good Luck Charlie had an episode where Charlie has a play-date with a child who has two moms,  a same sex couple!

When I read this on US Weekly on twitter I was actually really happy for Disney doing this :) But there were others who didn't have the same exact thoughts I did, which is alright. We are all entitled to our own beliefs and opinions.

The reason I am writing this blog to be honest is I tried to post a comment under the article on twitter but I had to put my name and email address and I didn't want to do that, but I really wanted to share what I thought, so down below is what I would have posted if I could.

I am proud of Disney. I think that it is important to make kids just a little aware of this. So the next time they go to school and make a new friend who might just have 2 mommys or daddys they will look back to Good Luck Charlie and maybe other shows (if shows have done this)  and how the show portrayed it as something that is "alright". Children are too young now to know whether they will support it or not, but when they come of age, it's their decision not their parents. As a parent you are suppose to love and support your children. You want them to grow up and learn to make decisions on their own because that's being independent. If a child chooses to love the same sex, so what? It's LOVE ! That boy or girl is still the same person, just one thing is different, that's not a big deal. More shows are opening up to the idea of same sex couples because it's real life, its what we see in the real world. To have shows just where men marry women is not realistic because thats not how it always is. And if people are saying they are getting tired of getting it shoved down their throats and are complaining about how its too much (to see gay couples on TV shows) well how do you think Gays feel when they see just shows about straight couples living happy with the one's they love? It's not fair to them. With Good Luck Charlie they didn't go over board with the display, because its a kids channel. Some kids might ask "why did they have two mommys?" All you have to say is something short and simple. Don't start lecturing them about gays and stating your opinion. If you don't want to get into detail either, turn off the TV, or just tell your kids "That's interesting but I honestly don't know why". Its more likely that some kids will just shrug their shoulders and move on to another show, or just want to go play. If you don't support Gays you don't support Gays. If you do support Gays you do, but never try and force someone to think one way, because that's the true sin.

I brought up sin because people were bringing up religion. People posted their idea about how it is a sin for one to fall in love with the same sex, which is something I disagree on. But that is my opinion. I am not going to "hate" on those who disagree with me nor will I say "go to...." no, I think people just need to take the time to think about it and give it some thought. Everyone deserves to find their special someone and live a happy life :) no matter if its with a man or a woman.

I know that some people might read this blog and have their own thoughts, but if you don't have something nice to say then please don't post a comment.

Thank You Very Much

Animals Will Surprise You

Alina Misses Her Brother Blackie

So early today around 11ish-12ish Alina my Siamese cat did something amazing.  

I posted what she did as my Facebook status, and instead of re-writing the event, i just copied and pasted my status down below :)

Alina :)

The most amazing thing just happened. I was on my laptop on iMovie just watching my videos when I saw the video of Blackie chasing his laser. I got curious and played that video for Alina. What happened next was beautiful.

As the video started Alina was laying down until Blackie appeared on the screen, Alina's eyes got all BIG and she stood up from her bed and approached the laptop sniffing the screen and following Blackie with her nose. She looked so amazed and had a look that said, " That's Blackie! He's here in this thing. "

I played some other clips of Blackie, ones where he meows and she had the same response but this time her eyes actually began to water, the same way when we found Blackie the day he died.

Why it's amazing is because I have played clips of cats and kittens on youtube to see how Alina would react. She gets curious but then she loses interest and just walks away. So to see her reaction to seeing Blackie I knew it meant something different

She does miss her bother.
Animals are just amazing creatures 

Rest In Paradise Booboo Boy :)

Blackie, her baby brother :)
