When Do YOU Disappear?

March 30, 2015 · In: Happiness, Uncategorized

Avarcas USABlueberry Date ShakeColorful ChairsAm I the only one who completely goes into another world sometimes? Ok, surely not but when I get into “picture taking mode” as my husband calls it, I disappear. It kinds makes him crazy. AH! Sorry!

I get this glazed over look and I go into “A Beautiful Mind” in my head. The world becomes head shot backgrounds and geometric blocks of color. 

It is totally my happy place!!!! I took these on a smoothie/window shopping/location scouting walk this weekend. OOOHHH that blueberry date shake was good.

Where are other people escaping to?????

    Books. Books are my main escape. Nothing better than some quiet time with a book and a big cup of Earl Grey with brown sugar to unplug and escape! Though exploring remote corners of the city on my own and letting myself slip into “picture mode” is a great option too, in nice weather!

    Yes! I completely know what you mean…by seeing it in other creatives, and feeling it in myself! I think it happens to me when I’m prepping and photographing my projects as well! I’m fully in my own head and the objects that I’m working with!

    I love how you capture things through photographs. You have such a creative eye! No wonder it’s your happy place.
    I think I get lost in music, writing, and truthfully sometimes I get caught up in Netflix… haha. 🙂

    Haha it’s not just you Christina. My husband says I’m totally in my own world whenever I’m in photographer mode but my mind totally wanders when I’m doing food prep too and oddly that’s when I get some of my best creative ideas. Must be the sound of running water ^_~ Love how those colorful chairs are displayed on the wall.

    I love these photos. The chairs are great.

    I tend to zone out into my own little world too. I have always been quite the daydreamer.

After I finished breastfeeding our fourth baby, th After I finished breastfeeding our fourth baby, the varicose vein on my thigh was becoming really prominent.

It looked so bad but wasn’t sure if it was just cosmetic thing or something I should get checked out for my health.

I was avoiding it and “waiting until I had time” to deal with it as a mom of 4.

I finally made time and l’m so glad I did.

This was the start of my health journey at 45.

This makes our weekdays so much less chaotic, and I don’t feel like a scullery maid-I feel like I have a personal chef!

I get to focus my time and energy on connecting with the kids or taking a moment to rest. 

Throw these together really quickly this weekend for a smooth week. 

The mini meat loafies are a quick snack, packable lunch item or dinner main.

The turkey taco meat is so quick and you can make so many different dishes with it. 

PS it’s been a staple food in my health journey.

I like to cook my veggies day-of or have some washed and prepped in containers.

Have you considered a “pattern interrupt” element Have you considered a “pattern interrupt” element to design your space and make it stand out?

A design element that just doesn’t make total sense but adds the zest to the room that just makes it?

But why is it so hard to figure out the exact thing that will make your space special?

You’re an emotional decorator! You’re someone who walks into a room and knows she loves it but can’t explain why.

I’m here to help!

Part II of Translating what we love about this space-Nancy Meyers edition!

This iconic kitchen from It’s Complicated, is so funny because Jane is in the works to finally renovate to get her DREAM KITCHEN and we would all love to have this one as it is right now!

Why? 

Notice that there are layers of detail from floor to ceiling and even ceiling!

If you want your home decor to feel cozy, there’s nothing like decorating every surface.

Keep it neutral if too much business overwhelms you.
When I spotted this window shelf in the movie, I thought it would be the perfect way to add some interest to our very boxy dining room-my pattern interrupt.

All the moms at the mommy and me meetup looked so All the moms at the mommy and me meetup looked so amazing. I wondered what their secret was.

When was I going to bounce back like that?

Everyone was being vulnerable so when it was my turn I said, “I still can’t fit into my old jeans.”

One of the moms looked at me and said, “I just bought new jeans.”

I was shocked! She looked amazing!

I thought that if I bought jeans for my current “larger size” as in “not my ideal size,” it would mean I was settling for my current state that I didn’t want.

Then it hit me.

When you see yourself as worthy and do things that make you feel great-like new clothes that fit, your mind does something you’re not even aware of.

when your brain says, “I look cute” then you’re just going to continue to look better on a subconscious level. 

Why?

Your self image improves and when it does, you do things in alignment with a good self image like eating better or moving more or learning how to do your hair at its best!
