That is why it is so important to let certain things go. To release them. To cut loose. People need to understand that no one is playing marked cards; sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Don’t expect to get anything back, don’t expect recognition for your efforts, don’t expect your genius to be discovered or your love to be understood. Complete the circle. Not out of pride, inability, or arrogance, but simply because whatever it is no longer fits in your life. Close the door, change the record, clean the house, get rid of the dust. Stop being who you were and become who you are.

I’m an emotional person—I feel things, and I need to be able to get upset and to talk about how I’m feeling. I mean, that’s just.. that’s who I am, and I can’t change it. I don’t want to.

5.29.12 Thrifted | Earrings

Went thrifting today on my lunch break and found these amazing statement earrings. I am obsessed with bold, vintage, 80s type jewelry. Almost half of my collection of earrings are from thrift stores. It’s the best place to find unique pieces. Love them.

5.26.12 Hair

Here are some pictures of the recent bridal party I did. Had so much fun working with them, it was such a pleasure! All the looks were requested. It was an outdoor wedding by the harbor. I think the choice of style was perfect for the setting.

Just purchased this 5 drawer acrylic storage unit for my make-up. Excited to fill it up and to place it on my vanity! Full review and pictures when it comes in.
