Super Moon

Be sure to look out for the Moon these next few months as it approaches Perigee, because the full moons during these times will appear exceptionally large. The Moon will be at its Perigee, or closest approach, in June 23 and it will reach full moon only a few minutes after it passes this point in its orbit.

I hate when you tell someone you’re a writer and they say, “I got a hit story for you to write…” I always respond with then why haven’t you written it? the excuse is usually I’m not a writer. If you’re a thinker you’re a writer, you just haven’t picked up a pen and written down your thoughts. That’s the whole point of inspiration. You can hire a ghostwriter, but only one person can tell their story the best and thats YOU!

when i isolate myself, kind of feels like this lol….

the ladies of vena cava deserve a medal for “best brand to churn out cool designs and still not take themselves too seriously” for the recent release of this commercial promoting their lower-priced line viva vena. starring lizzy caplan [of ‘mean girls’ fame] and directed by photographer/filmmaker matthew frost, it is two minutes of mockery that is well worth a watch. also, there are adorable (affordable!) clothes.

It’s time for a make over, I’ve had the ombre look not for style but for my laziness to go to a hair salon. Ombre is great for girls like me who can’t keep up with roots, so thx to the style Gods they came up with an eezy breezy lazy way to keep in style. I finally grew out years of dye and highlights foil biolage etc etc. I decided 3 years ago not to dye my hair and let my natural color grow out. Aside from the 4 inches of ombre (i got a cut the other day it was like 8) My hair is just about born again virgin hair! So tomorrow we’ll see if blondes really do have more fun! I’ll post pics after the visit to the salon. Wish me luck. I don’t know why but I truly do prefer going to the dentist then the hair salon, I guess it has something to do with the nitrous… And one can only take so much listening to women complain or as the woman species terms it talk, which to me is more like gossip. Ahh the woes of being a female, wish me luck!!!
