But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will...

i took this photo while standing on the santa monica pier. i took it when i was happy in a relationship.

now i'm not.

love is exorbitantly messy.

This Makes Me Smile!

last summer i traveled to israel for my friend's wedding and there met the amazing odelia! i am so excited that she is the current featured seller on etsy.

her and her man dani live in this amazing re-fashioned chicken coop on a hill. it is one of the most peaceful places i have ever been.





her softies are adorable! i love her caterpillars.




and who doesn't love a hedgehog?!

Just a little glimpse....

of what my life sorta looks like.....

it's all in the family...

i would just like to present to you the newest addition to my sister's etsy shop:

this diptych is called "agatha and the bird" and features a cute little girl with a tiny sly grin and a big plan. bekah is a graphic design student at the university of oklahoma and creates these prints on the side. she is also responsible for artwork hanging on my wall as well as the majority of the graphics, logos, album artwork, and t-shirt designs of my band.

when i think of her growing up, she was either catching turtles in the backyard of our michigan home or drawing. i'm pretty sure sometimes she drew turtles, too.

Trying to be a responsible human being....

plastic free shaving is finally in my life.

and let me tell you....i'm excited about it.

i purchased this weishi razor on ebay from a guy here in los angeles. he sent me around 30 extra blades and offered free shipping, all for $20.
i can't wait to use it and will update this post when i do. i've only heard wonderful things about these little guys.

i will say that i would love a more feminine and ornate one, but those are harder to come by, more expensive, and usually vintage (which kinda weirds me out). someone could make a killing manufacturing feminine, plastic-free safety razors, i tell ya.

i've also been trying out bar soap from soaptopia on my hair as shampoo (instead of buying plastic bottles). i am unsure about this though since it seems to make my scalp sorta itchy.
this one is called green machine. it is my favorite! the smell of basil fills the entire house when i use it! they said they'll be coming out with a shampoo bar in the future, but i think i might just buy a bottle of shampoo and conditioner as backup for now. i cannot stand a flaky, itchy scalp.

well, that's all for now!


UPDATE: razor is amazing. i was scared at first as to how much pressure to apply and how to get certain angles, but it went very smoothly (no pun intended). you hardly have to press at all! (and it also makes that nice sound that you hear when men shave). no more buying plastic cartridges!
