Governor's Ball Music Festival Bucket List

Today's the day! Outkast reunites tonight in New York to headline day one of The Governors Ball Music Festival, and I get to say, "I was there!" ( jealous, I know..) My excitement level is at an all time high. this is history in the making! Currently en route to New York, and compiling an impromptu bucket list to make the day even more interesting. So here it goes:

1. Get face painted!
2. Spend an obnoxious amount of time in the mixology tent
3. Cotton candy bigger than my hair
4. DON'T lose phone
5. Take a picture with a hot stranger in a witty t-shirt
6. Play a game of Live Size Connect Four
7. Get asked to be on someone's street fashion blog
8. Partake in National Donut Day, (free donuts all day) or if not, funnel cake!
9. Vandalize something, courtesy of Tiff (dolcezzasweet.blogspot.com) lol

I'm sure there will be plenty of shenanigans to come. Recap coming soon. ;)

Hello New York!

Things We Forget: 6/5/2014

a few things forgot

and remembered in

May/June



Whatever Your Past, Your Future is Spotless.

Working on a new "Things We Forget" for the month of May/ beginning of June, and this post stood out to me. It saddens me that people are so caught up in their past lives and try to relive their yesterday's when those days are long gone. We get new chances every day to start anew and sometimes are so blind to it because we're still looking over our shoulders. Erykah Badu said it best in 'Bag Lady' when speaking of carrying the weight of the past into something that is ahead of us. Every new interaction, person, experience is "spotless;" a chance at a new start.. untarnished. Stop dragging your past into new situations and muddying them up. Think of it like a sling shot... the longer you hold back, the less time you have to spring forward.

There are people actively rooting against you, sending prayers into the Universe that you will fail.. your relationships, dreams, goals, health... There are people praying for your downfall more than they pray for themselves. You have to have a faith stronger than all that.. Strong foundations can't be shaken or stirred!

If I don't know anything else, I know this... People put up a fight for what they love.

Links We Love: Etsy x The Dino Tea Party

 my girls and I this summer.

 

 

Etsy is really the best thing since sliced bread. They are my go-to when I want to find something unique; anything from art, jewelry, band tee's, creative gift wrap, knitted scarves, etc. The list goes on. And the best part is it's all fairly affordable.

 

 

Get these fun prints and more from Sautter Pictures.

What's better than this?

I Love Fortune Cookies

I love fortune cookies... not the actual cookie, which I never eat, but the fortune inside. Admit it, when you get a good one it can help boost your mood, or give you a quick burst of hope. Most of the time they're pretty generic, but it's fun to pretend that it was destined to find it's way to your meal... just. for. you.

 

That's exactly how I chose to view this 'fortune.' Change is good, and Lord knows we ALL need it. I'm ready for mine.

 

( SIDE NOTE: Please don't judge.. 'Panda Express'.. lol. I was on break from my part time and needed a quick bite. )
