More Adventurous

It seems like time is flying by and soon September will be over. There is so much going on this time of year and it just picks up with all the holidays. Today I focused on making a tentative schedule to try to fit in some studio time and yoga. Clint and I took a journey to Hastings today and had a fun little date at Chipotle, where we sat on the patio. Since I've been home I've been working on this painting. It actually looked very different before...I've decided to take a break because I've been staring at this for 3 hours.

This little marshmallow-y goodness was at Hastings and it sang me a little song...

I actually took this picture last week at the Bluelight. I thought it turned out pretty cool.

I haven't done iphone outfit posts in a while.....

That's What She Said Sunday

Maybe I'll get lucky and I'll be able to go to New York in October. Cross your heart and kiss your elbow.

Fill In the Blank Friday

1.   Somewhere someone is     thinking they really do have super powers  .

2.    Hello Kitty      is my muse.

3.  It would suck if    cupcakes    were no more because,    I wouldn't have anything to cheer me up or think about all day  .

4.    Coffee and puppies   are my favorite thing about today.

5.  Life is kind of like     a disney movie...well mine is anyway .

6.  If I could have anything I wanted I would want   to have that camera that meows when you take pictures (stop judging me)    .

7.  A funny thing happened the other day...    was when my coworker fixed the toilet seat at work and demonstrated how you won't be flying off when you sit down...you had to be there   .

How To Make A Pumpkin Spice Latte At Home

It's that time of the year where the weather gets cooler, Hobby Lobby puts out Halloween and fall stuff, Bath and Body Works gets yummy smelling candles, and Starbucks brings back the pumpkin spice latte.  If you don't know, I am a coffee addict, and I've already had like 10 pumpkin spice lattes and spent my weekly food allowance for 'mall food'.  Since I'm off today, and it's a pj day, I'm not leaving my house, but I was craving a pumpkin spice latte. Then it came to me....I can make my own! So here is the recipe to make your own pumpkin spice latte super cheap and probably enough fixins to last you the whole season (unless you share, which I don't).

Here's what you need:

Maxwell House International Coffee. I like the hazelnut flavor and the cafe style since it makes it more frothy like a latte.

 Loco Cocoa from Think Geek. You obviously need the Pumpkin Spice Mocha Cocoa. (The other flavors are really good too!)

What you do:

1. Heat water in your coffee mug in the microwave. ( I use a standard mug and it takes 2 minutes. Note: Don't fill your mug to the top with water, you need room to put the coffee in.)

2. After it's heated I put in 2 regular kitchen spoons of instant coffee and 2 of the same of Loco Cocoa.

3. Mix and enjoy!

4. Sometimes if I have it on hand, I put some cool whip and cinnamon on top, just to be fancy. 

Side Note: I like my coffee caffeinated which is why I use the loco cocoa (it has 175mg of caffeine).

Let me know if you try it or if you have any other cool fall drink recipes!

Taco Tuesday: Better Late Than Never

 I realize today is Wednesday and I totally missed out on some rad tacos, but here I am....If you don't follow me on twitter or facebook, you may not know that I did get the promotion! I'm kinda excited and kinda scared because I'm the big boss now. The only bad thing that my regional manager had to say was that I was too nice...lol...he hasn't been on the receiving end of my stink eye so I'll give him a break.

 I am really loving tote bags right now! I have a million of them (mostly with Hello Kitty on them), and I like to screen print on them too....

 My goal on my days off, is to work on some of my art projects. They've been neglected with all this working and trying to sleep nonsense.

 I have this rad vintage fur hat, that I can't wait to wear...come on fall, stick around!

 I love hot air balloons...I think they're magical. There used to be this girl band here in Lubbock that sang a song about hot air balloons....

 Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is my hero and I could listen to Pon Pon Pon all day long.

I hope to one day visit Harajuku.

What are you up to today? I have some emails to write and errand to run. I am sad today couldn't be a pj day....

I now I've been MIA, but I'm back! Work has been crazy! I find out tomorrow if I got the promotion I interviewed for this past week. Then it's training for me and training for the person to take my spot.
