No one, not even Midas.

process
noun
1 investigation is a long process procedure, operation, action, activity, exercise, affair, business, job, task, undertaking.
2 a new canning process method, system, technique, means, practice, way, approach, methodology.


If you ask me there is nothing more beautiful than process, I mean the finish product is lovely but I'm am in love with the process. Maybe that's why I have a soft spot for handmade/reworked/vintage/homemade/recycled good.

I make theses bracelet because I love it. I can always look at a bracelet I mad and know when I made, or where I was, or even how I was feeling.
No on not even Midas has a touch like yours

Pamper Thineself pt. 1

As you guys know my name is Jay and most of the time I look like this:
But when most people see me I look like this



Now in order to appear fabulous I partake in some weekly pampering: (so here's my weekly pampering routine)

  • exfoliate with volcanic ash for a smooth clean face, followed by whatever moisturizer I am loving at the moment.
  • I exfoliate my lips with my sugar/ground flaxseed/honey and olive oil lip scub

(this current batch has a little bit which is partially responsible for the color)
  • Now my favorite part is the weekly pedicure. I don't know about you guys but I hate when I'm on a blog and I see fabulous shoes paired with atrocious feet. So I trim paint and moisturize weekly. My favorite way to ensure deep moisture is to finish off with a heavy cream and spend the next hour or two in my thick tinkerbelle socks.
P.S I'm doing this from my iPhone so production is a little choppy over here
