For a Low Budget Summer

So its June gloom outside in the morning with a hot afternoon sun burning off the rays of the roof and you scored the weekend off to do what you please...

But your on a budget and you can't plan an afternoon of mimosas and macaroons at fancy pants cafe.

Do not fret.... I have made a list of low budget Summer activities that will get you smiling in the sun.

1.  Hit the beach and bring some snacks.... don't forget to build a sand castle.

2.  Make a simple, easy on your wallet home improvement, like painting a strip on a wall or adding a small detail that makes a big difference. ( this is especially good on those 90 degree days when you can't go outside.)

3.  Picnic at your local park.... I know its an age old idea, but once you actually do it, you will appreciate how social and relaxing it is at the same time.

4.  Take a hike up Pacific Coast Highway and enjoy the view. ( Do this when it is sunset, you will have the best view and the temperature will be just right)

5.  Volunteer at a local recreation center to help with summer programs.( This will be fun and you might even learn something)

6.  Museum hopping ....on the right days when the ticket prices are the lowest, or if  you are a student or a senior, you get a sweet discount...

7.  After the museum hopping, hold an art session at your house with your buddies and draw or paint on extra sheets of paper you have and any pencils or paint lying around. (This is fun, therapeutic and inexpensive)

8.  Start a summer project that has no monetary gain.  It can be anything your heart desires, a blog, a painting, a cooking recipe or a rock and roll album.  Something just for you and your own satisfaction that you can work on at your own pace and find pleasure in.

9.  Write a series of summer love poems and save them for your wedding day.

10.  Attend a free outdoor yoga class, there are a lot out there, or better yet, start your own.

I hope this list inspires you for your 2016 Summer...

Until Next time...

Time is a Valuable Thing

Hello There,

I hope your spring has sprung and your days have been filled with the beauty of new life that is Spring.  As the still air moves and the outside leaves sway, I am glad to have some time in my day to enjoy the beautiful creation that surrounds me.

Speaking of time... It seems like there is so little time these days.  Is the globe spinning faster or are we just adding more on to the list of activities on our plates? Time is money, but what is time worth to you? As I move into the next phase of life, I can't help but ponder the elements of time and the specific meaning it holds to each individual. Please comment below and let me know your thoughts about time....

Until next time...

Its a Wrap

Hello glam family,

Can you believe I am done with school?? I am officially graduated!  First off, I want to say thank you to those who have been reading my blog and staying with me on my journey through the last eleven weeks of school.  It has been full of inspiration, action, networking and first time experiences. 

I will keep updating my blog as I enter the big scary world of post graduation, where all the surviving soldiers end up to take on the world in the next battle that we call "adult life". We are strong, brave and mighty, we can defeat the evil forces of adulthood, but first, coffee.

Please take a look at the final edits of my look book " Escape Into the Unknown"  S/S 2017

I hope you like it.
Here's to many more to come as I move swiftly into the next phase of my glamorous journey.

Until next time...

Escape Into the Unknown S/S 2017

Hello my glamorous darlings,

I am honored, excited and a little nervous to present to you my finished video look book for Spring/ Summer 2017, "Escape Into the Unknown".  I worked hard trying to make this look as polished as possible.  Please Note: This is my first time filming, editing and producing a look book. 
I hope my work clearly communicates the message. Young, wild and free to make the best mistakes.  "Escape Into the Unknown" speaks to the 24 year old girl who wakes up, goes to work, gets off late, then gathers with her best partner in crime to take on the night.

Until next time...

Time to edit...

Hello my glamorous friends,

So it is my final week of school, and man am I working hard to finish finals... I can't wait to graduate!  Only two more weeks and I am home free!! wooooohoo!  I  am still editing " Escape into the unknown".  I am pretty sure this has been my favorite shoot so far.   I am not sure if it's because I am more skilled at doing editorials or the amazing talent I got the chance to work with.  Either way it's been real...
Stay tuned to check out the final edits coming soon...

Here's another fun out take from last week's shoot...

 Until next time.....

On location....

Hey Everyone!

Today was the first day of the shoot for " Escape into the unknown".  It was fun, but quick since my model, the lovely and talented, Jarae Holloway, was booked for another photo shoot in L.A.  The weather was overcast, but worked out pretty well.  I can't wait to shoot again on Tuesday night!
Night shooting will be interesting, who knows what type of kooky adventures await us? 

Here is a little snap of some behind the scenes footage from today's shoot.

Until next time...
Stay glamorous and be open to the  adventures that await you...

The adventure continues..
