My point gets more across when I’m an asshole.

It seems like everytime I try to be nice and reason with someone it goes one ear out of the other but when i’m on my rude shit all of a sudden motherfuckers wanna reason with me

Been A While

Hi y’all, it has been quite a while since my last blog post! This one itself is just going to be a quickie-update-teaser of things I’ve been working on lately.

Most of these things will have their own posts coming soon, but I haven’t had quite enough time to sit & write a full post. I’ve been very busy lately!

I don’t like going this long without blogging though; makes it too easy for me…

Pictures from Arizona

I always take a crap load of pictures & never share them with anyone. So, I'm trying to stop doing that! Here is just a whole bunch of pictures I took when we went to AZ last month.

Just a small collection of pictures from Zach & I’s recent trip to Arizona. We drove there & back so most of these pics are taken from the road. We had a wonderful time. It definitely reminded me that we should vacation more often!

Due to my ever busy schedule, we left the city at 9pm right after I finished teaching a class. This was the sunrise as we started to get into Arizona.

Once…

Sewing a Baseball Tee in a Night

I recently made Zach a shirt overnight so he could rock it to his annual Art in the Yard show in Arizona! Read all about what inspired this baseball tee & why it had such a tight deadline.

A couple weekends ago, Zach & I were in Arizona for the annual Art in the Yard show that he participates in each spring. Lots of family came out to support him & we spent the weekend in a very full house of parents, aunts, uncle and sister.

Zach rocked his new shirt at the Art in the Yard show we drove to Arizona for.

We drove out this time around in order to try to enjoy a little bit more…

Teaching Update

Dear Bloggy, I LOVE my jobby! Here's a quick update on how great my new teaching gig is so far!

Alright y’all, last Tuesday marked exactly a month since I taught my first class at Sips N Sews. Figured that meant it was time to update everyone on how it’s going!

Update 1: I love it! I absolutely love it. It’s so much fun and exciting every class.

Update 2: I am absolutely exhausted. I am passing out hard at the end of each day and am yawning every 30 seconds while typing this.

Upda…

Creating HeadBANDs

NEW PRODUCT ALERT!! Read all about how I created my new headBANDs in this blog post. And then go buy one cuz they are super freakin cute!

When I shaved 2/3 my head 4 years ago I gave/threw away most of my hair accessories. I didn’t need them/was moving in with Zach & just didn’t have space for them.

It was great! The top of my dresser could be dedicated to aalllll my makeup. I used my curling iron to touch up some bedhead here & there, but otherwise never needed much more than a bobby pin or two.

Then I decided grow it all…

Dear bloggy, I got a jobby!

I got a new job! I've been sitting on this news for a little bit now, but wanted to make sure everything was in order before I announced it. I talk more about how I got here in my latest blog post. Spoiler alert: I am super happy & can't wait to start!

A few months ago I was laid off from the social media job that was my main source of income. It was a hard blow but something I saw coming. Thus, the job hunt began.

Applying for work during the holidays can be very dodgy. No one is seriously hiring for long term, and a holiday position is exhausting. You learn how to do the job right as it ends, making you either start all over again or have…

With a new site comes new projects as I’m going to be expanding the Summer Sapphires brand as a whole. Here are a few of the…

Consistency is harder when no one is clapping for you. You must clap for yourself during those times, you should always be your biggest fan.

When you ask your sister to model your new products but she's extra dorky with it 😂 (at Stockton, California)

[summersapphires]

Haven't been posting as much lately due to the fact I've been mostly behind a computer screen working on website upgrades, better product details & other un-photogenic parts of running your own business.
