Week 1 -> Drawing a background with more things, details. 

I Decide to draw Caeliam in an annexed room to her bedroom, where the majority of her book of magic are, talking of any magic of Azeroth, to the light magic, to the magic of the druid to the ancient kaldorei, etc etc. She sometime forget to sleep so much she is into one of her book, often taking not at the same time with her magic of what she is reading when it important! I did want to recreate that background of where is is concentrated and how much it’s a place where she can hide herself and feel happy and in security.

My main difficulty was my persopective, so i use vanishing point to guide me in this drawing, I think it have help me and I will have to work on it more, but now I will ue that to all my other drawing.

Here’s my first work for Femslash February inspired by the Sherlock Femslash challenge “Going Away” for week 1.

FF.Net

Summary: Janine hopes a relaxing trip to a spa might be just the thing to forget about the drama Mr. Sherlock Holmes. Just her luck, Irene Adler has the same idea. When Janine gets an offer to help her relax, she's reluctant at first. But she soon finds a day with the Woman beats one at the spa.

Challenge: WEEK 1 MINI CHALLENGE – GOING AWAY Pack the bags! It’s time to go on a romantic vacation to sunny Greece or snowy Chamonix. Or maybe a business trip with a random meeting in a crowded airport? Who knows? The world is bigger than London.

Shade’s Eve week 1 - Autumn is here!  And Xerune is bundled up for warmth.  This Mechari is not use to “outdoor” weather.  Plus thinnest chassis, not a lot of systems to purr into a heater.

NWM 2015 Challenges Week 1

Show us your room!

So, here we see my bedroom. Looks like the room of a 45 year-old, mature, adult female, no?  That’s because I’m not. On my dresser is my wee collection of Pop! figurines, and a whole slew of candles. I have pink twinkle lights along the ceiling, because I love the effect the light gives (for real… change your bedroom lamp bulbs to pink…they make your skin look gorgeous!). I love owls, and have a few about my room. 

Make a collage or a picture set post about what healthy living means to you.

Healthy living is making the conscious choice to be active and make healthy eating a priority. For me, it means choosing to bring my lunch to work instead of ordering out, and to engage in activities I enjoy that are good for me. like biking and hiking.

Take a picture of your best feature and brag about it!

 I am rather fond of my lips. They have a nice shape, they are soft, and they create a nice smile. 

See yourself clearly. Take a picture of a “problem area” and make a post about it. Then say something nice about the same spot.

The booty!  It is a problem area, because it makes pants shopping a real trial. 

I can say that it is firm, and I can feel the muscles in it, which means it is strong. And, I like that there is now a definite starting/ending point where the thighs and booty meet. 

Post about your daily rituals. What ones are fitness related? Which do you think are unique to you?

Daily rituals…..hmmm…. well, if I am not working… at 0615 my alarm goes off, and I listen to make sure the Kiddo is in the shower. While I wait for him to get out, I check the tumblr for a bit. Then I go hang out with him until he heads to the bus stop. He usually will play the latest movie or game review from his favorite You Tube dudes.  I usually will make myself a smoothie or something at this time, as well. After he leaves, I will stretch out, and decide what I am going to do in the morning, and I usually go to the gym at anytime between 10 am - 1 PM, and I will stay for about 1.5 hours doing cardio and weights. I try to miss the morning and afternoon rushes.  If I have any other outside chores (groceries, etc.), I try to take care of those after the gym.  If it is a day that I will be working at night, I will take a nap from noon til 4 pm. Then I get up, make dinner for the Kiddo and myself, and pack my lunch. 5 pm is shower time (and I put the fitbit to charge while I shower), and I am usually dressed, dried and out the door by 6 Pm. Work starts at 6:45, but my commute is only 10 minutes. So, I use the extra half hour to walk around the medical center to make steps for my fitbit. Then I fill myself a huge cup of water and clock in. The rest of the night is work. If I am working three nights in a row, I usually do not gym on the second and third days, simply because I don’t get enough sleep, and I am beat after working all night. But, I do still get the half hour of walking at the hospital, and I try to stretch out a home when I wake up. On my nights off, I usually try to be in bed by 10 pm. If I miss my sleepy time, then third shift syndrome kicks in and I am up all night, and can’t get off the night schedule.  I guess some of it is unique to me, just because the nature of my work.

#FMLS90 Day 5: Weekly Report!

Basic Weekly:

Weight: 278.2 lbs

Gain / loss from last week: -1.8 lbs

Gain / loss from baseline: -1.8 lbs

What went well during last week that I should continue? 

Stuck to Tumblr challenges.

MUCH better eating habits: less soda (hardest for me to quit), more water, less sweets, more fruits & veggies.

Ate mostly vegan food choices (with a few exceptions, but at least the exceptions were free - which is at least good for my resolution to spend less money this year, and would have otherwise been thrown in the trash so it’s not like anyone else spent money on it.)

Prepared and ate significantly more food at home than out.

Stuck to my more intensive hygiene routine.

Went for longer walks with my dogs.

Took active steps toward reducing my stress levels (baths, painting nails, reading more, doing make up, yoga, etc.)

Took my medicine every day.

What did not go well that I want to change? (Also including what I’d like to do to improve.)

Didn’t work out nearly enough. - Starting 30 Day Shred, and getting in at least 3 half hour walks weekly.

Still had soda - want to quit soda entirely.

Didn’t make 100% vegan choices - want to eliminate all animal products.

Still didn’t eat enough fruits and veggies - Better grocery store shopping and planning ahead with planned recipes.

Too much TV & too little activity - exercise changes, more meditation, and going back to work should help. 

Not enough yoga practice over all- longer sessions should help this, scheduling times with myself to work on it.

How are you doing on your healthy habits? Super embarrassing, but for whatever reason I missed this challenge. Getting on board this week for sure! For not participating though I’d say I did decently. Maybe a 3/10

2014TBL Weekly Challenge, Week 1, Challenge #2

Pick something that you have struggled with in the past and give yourself a second chance, try it again and try to do it better this time. Focus on improvement not perfection.

So, there are some yoga poses that I always really struggle with, so I thought I'd try one of those for this challenge. I'm honestly not sure how I thought I would see any real improvement in these since I haven't been doing much yoga the last couple of months, but one can dream, right? 

I tried Half Moon, one which I've never been able to really do without a block. Tried it without a block, that didn't go well...

Tried it with a block and ... a bit better ...

For about three seconds, anyway, but then ...

So, I think the real lesson here is, at least for me, yoga requires consistent practice. I've always had very poor balance. Doing yoga consistently had started to improve it, but since I hurt my back in July and haven't been consistent, those gains have slipped away.

I'm hopeful that I'll be able to get back to a consistent yoga practice very soon and see improvement in that again.

i tagged it wrong so im doing it again oops

favourite fall out boy songs for the ppc network ^_^

hum hallelujah because it was the first song by fall out boy i ever learned all the words to. its such a good song and the beat is so heart eye emoji. and paTRCICKS VOCALS

rat a tat because its different, but so good!!!! and i love feeling badass after singing courtney love’s part tbh

themighty fall because i can rap the parts and feel really cool. and i mean coller than how cool i already am((bc a loser emo kid is so cool in 2k14)) and big sean did a rly good job on his voals

i dont care because it was such an iconic song as not many songs are so blatantly telling people to go fuck themselves ((especially cuties like fob)) and i feel like a pin up girl lying on my bed singing along

chicago is so two years ago because i love how fob were so tru to their roots in this song and also it was while they sung this that i made eye contact with pete the emo queen so good memories tbh

1. Okay so my first favorite song would be 27 because I can relate to some of the lyrics and I would listen to this song over and over again when I first heard it. The guitar solo is pretty cool too and the whole song in general is amazing. 2. Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying because of the sound of the song and I love how Pete sings with Patrick during the bridge. Then the ending poem was my favorite and I remember that I had memorized it and would always say it with Pete whenever I listened to the song.

3. Aaa I'm gonna say Thriller because I listened to this song a lot when they went on hiatus. It meant a lot to me and I love the lyric "long live the car crash hearts". When they got back together I listened to this so much and it made me happy cause I always told people that they would get back together but they never believed me.

4. Dance, Dance because this song was the first fob song I had heard and after hearing it, that's when I feel in love with them. Me and my friend Gabby would always play guitar hero and she was the one of showed them to me so I probably wouldn't of had found them without her.

5. This is hard because I have so many more but I guess the last one would be Save Rock And Roll. The first time I heard it I was at school and I almost cried because I knew they would get back together. I could relate to the lyrics and I loved how it had lyrics from other songs and I loved the message of the song so yeah. :)
