Mother's Day!


 My illustration! 


My inspiration! 


    I am still learning! I am teaching myself everything about painting, drawing, sketching, everything! I am reading, practicing,  studying, screwing up, trying again and putting myself out there as much as I can! 

    I drew this in honor of Mother's Day! It's the most recent picture of my parents in Florida! It's not perfect, but I am SO proud of the way this turned out! I am getting more and more confident with every piece I produce! 

    It's stressful, I'll admit! I always think, " I want people to like this. I want people to like this!" But I know that at the end of the day, the only person who has to like it is me! 

    I sometimes forget that I don't care about what people think anymore. Because I lived in that place for such a long time! And I would be lying if I said I didn't sometimes fall back down into that rabbit hole! But, I always try to remind myself that I am so much stronger than I ever was before! I have so much potential and all I have to do is keep myself accountable for MYSELF and I will be OKAY! 

    Anyway, I am off to see my mom or mama's day! One day I will hopefully be a mama myself but until then, I have a pretty great one who deserves to be loved every day of the year and not just today! (But a little celebrating never hurt anyone, right?!)


Happy Sunday, babes! 

And Happy Mother's Day to all the mama's! 


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.

Adult Money...

Image
Having access to adult money is ridiculous sometimes! Gets notification: “Your TV will be delivered Saturday!” Gets another notification: “Your remaining packages will be being delivered several a day until Christmas” Like okay, Siri! Thanks for reminding me of my inability to stick to the budget I created each week! I go over it by an offensive amount each week! I should know by now that I can't even follow my own rules.  If you're good at this kind of stuff, I applaud you!  XOXO  Also, thanks for selling me out, SIRI- you bitch!

What would you tell your former self if you had the chance?

So yesterday was all about confessions and today I am going to talk about what I wish I knew back then that I know now.   I have always thought the world was out to get me. If not the world, the people in my world. I haven ’t always had the easiest time and I have had some hard shit happen in my life; but who hasn’t?    Here’s a list of some of the things I've dealt with: 1.  Being an overweight child 2.  Having undiagnosed anxiety 3.  Being bullied 4.  Having literally no self confidence  5.  Being completely introverted   And h ere are the things I wish I could have said to myself back then :   Bullies:    It’s hard to even describe what it’s like to be bullied. Unless you’ve been there you just don’t know. My parents always made sure I had nice, name brand clothes and that I had anything I ever needed. But it didn’t matter, people couldn’t get over my size long enough to see that I had a good personality. And eventually...
