International Women's Day!




    I've been getting some art done lately and I couldn't be happier about that! Here's one for International Women's Day! 



    It's time to celebrate ourselves! I for one want to feel empowered and strong in my own skin and when it’s a, “mans world” it makes it difficult to feel that way! I am working on myself from every single aspect and I can't wait for it to be, "Shelby's World!" And pay NO attention to the power hungry males of the world! 

 

    it’s getting easier and easier! I’m learning to take what I want instead of waiting for it to be given to me. You can’t expect to just be handed things in life! You can’t be upset either, if you’re not even asking for what you want either! Personally, I want to work my ass off and be so confident in myself that I just go for what I want, instead of waiting around for it. 

 

    It’s okay to celebrate ourselves, every single day of the year. Not one day dedicated to it. But today is a special day, I admit, it makes me stop and appreciate every bad-ass woman around the globe; including myself! I’ve come such a long way, and I am so unbelievably proud of the woman I have become! 

 

    I am going to be spending more time observing and appreciating the strong and empowering women all around me! And maybe showing myself a little more appreciation too! 

 

“You can be a strong woman and struggle with mental health.”

 

    That statement right there is such a GREAT reminder that you aren’t weak or any less of a STRONG woman if you struggle with your mental health! It was 1000% something that I personally needed to hear! 

 

I hope your Monday was amazing and a great starter to the week ahead! 

 

 

 

XOXO

Cookie Era!

  Listen, I’m in my cookie era! Here’s what I did! I made a double batch, scooped them and placed them on parchment paper to keep them separated. Placed them in freezer bags and then froze the second batch. That way I have chemical free cookies ready to take out of the freezer whenever I want and bake fresh! This way I can bake 2 if I want instead of making up a whole batch.

My Manic...

Image
     I have been stressing myself out lately about perfection. I can’t share anything I do unless I know it’s perfect. It’s probably going to give me an ulcer.       I decided today that I didn’t need perfection.      It’s not about that. I mean I’ve always known that but I am so unbelievably hard on myself that I allowed those feelings to creep in and attack my inner peace!        I haven’t felt that manic in about a year! So it was definitely something that I had to take care of right away! I almost forgot that my manic was an emotional response to stress.          I was being unappreciative of my own strengths, too hard on my personal weaknesses and turning a blind eye to my mental state.       I called it quits yesterday and decided to do absolutely nothing all day to let my brain rest and recover from my own abuse. Until inspiration hit and I decided to DOODLE.  ...

Ditch Kitty!

Image
  It’s been awhile since I’ve had an update on my little rescued ditch kitty! Sirius is thriving! he came to me at 1.5 pounds soaking wet and he’s up to 7.5 pounds now! Which is perfectly in line for his age! He’s all up to date on his vaccinations and he doesn’t have to go back for another year! (Unless he needs to!) His personality can only be described as wildly unpredictable and entertaining! His favorite things are wet food, cucumbers and pull tabs from my almond milk and playing nonstop!
