Ok party people. So my print shop is *almost* ready to launch - still got some more work to do. But I wanted to let you guys in just in case you want to buy some! I'm not going to lie - they look pretty rad when they're framed ;) Anyways, here's a coupon code you can use for 10% off your order: S15Q1F http://joannegarcia.bigcartel.com/
MONDAY MUSIC SHARE (on a Tuesday): Adele - Hello
Honestly, I didn’t even watch this video before I posted it. I just knew that it came out and it had to be good. So obviously I had to go with Adele for this week’s music share.
So this is the newest single from Adele’s upcoming album, 25.
If her first two albums (19 and 21) can attest to anything, it’s that she writes and sings from a very personal place.
“My last record was a break-up record, and if I had to label this one, I would call it a make-up record. Making up for lost time. Making up for everything I ever did and never did. 25. is about getting to know who I’ve become without realising. And I’m sorry it took so long but, you know, life happened.”
Anyways. Here you go. Enjoy!

MONDAY MUSIC SHARE (on a Tuesday): Beirut performing "No No No" Live on KCRW
I’m a day late! My bad. Which I guess means my 5TT post will go up tomorrow.
From KCRW, because they say it best:
Zach Condon recorded his debut album as Beirut at age 18 after dropping out of college and running away to Paris. A decade later, he found creative inspiration in his newest international home – Turkey -- for his fourth album, No No No. He plays songs from across his discography in this live session recorded at Cutting Room Studios in New York.
Enjoy!

Treat Yo Self 5 Things
IT’S OFFICIALLY TREAT YO SELF DAY. And well, that’s the best news ever. Anyways, here’s 5 things going on with me:
1 IT’S STUPID HOT IN LA AND I HATE IT - You guys, I don’t understand what is going on with the weather in LA. It legitimately has been 100 degrees this week and everyone is miserable.
And since I don’t have AC in my car, I’ve been sweating bullets every time I go anywhere. It’s so gross.
HOT WEATHER GO AWAY! It’s supposed to be autumn! It’s supposed to be sweater weather!
2 TONIGHT I MET A NINJA TURTLE - Life is crazy sometimes. I went to go babysit for a bunch of people tonight who were having a weekly Bible Study. Oh yeah, sometimes I nanny on the side because I’m pretty good with kids. Small detail.
Anyways, it was a crazy couple hours watching seven kids. But one of the adults there was a guy named Alan and when we met I immediately thought to myself “you’re a ninja turtle.”
Technically I know him from NBC’s I Can Do That because I watched it all summer (he and Jeff Dye were hilarious). But it was just weird to be like “Hey, I know you. And you’re here with these people every week to talk about Jesus. That’s pretty cool.”
LA is so weird like that. Since I’ve been here I’ve met and gone to community group with a Jabbawockee and also nannied for Jenna Fischer’s neice (so weird seeing her in that family’s wedding photos - I was like “is that Pam Beesly?”).
But anyways. LA life. It’s a little nutz.

3 THE CUBBIES ARE ON THEIR WAY - YOU GUYS! BACK TO THE FUTURE 2 MIGHT’VE BEEN RIGHT ALL THIS TIME! SO CRAZY!
Tonight the Chicago Cubs won Game 4 against the Cardinals and are advancing! They just might be World Series Champs! Who knows!

4 OKLAHOMA PLANS ARE UP IN THE AIR - As of now my plans to go to ORU’s 50th anniversary has been put on hold. For the first time, Alaska Airlines is fling to OKC and I can finally go there but there’s not enough passes to make it there and back and go home for Christmas.
It makes me sad because I really want to go and be there for all the festivities and see my friends. But I have no idea how to swing it. Anyone want to sponsor my trip to Tulsa? Please let me know!

5 TREAT YO SELF 2015 - It’s been three years since Tom Haverford and Donna have shared the wonderfulness of TREAT YO SELF day to the world. And today is that day!!
First, watch THIS VIDEO to know what I’m talking about. Even if you haven’t watching Parks and Rec. It’s just so great.
And two, GO TREAT YO SELF.
I still need to do something too.

MONDAY MUSIC SHARE: "Satisfied in You" by the Sing Team
What to say about this song. It really got me through a rough season this last few months.
Those words. Why are you downcast, oh my soul? Why so disturbed within me?
There’s so many times I’ve asked myself that. When I’m just a hurricane of emotions and I don’t know how to pinpoint why I feel the way that I feel.
And to think that there’s a God out there that loves me so. And that I should remember that He’s good and that He’s wonderful. And that I shouldn’t have to worry about anything else.
Honestly, I can probably dissect the lyrics here and would have remarks about everything because I identify with all of it. This is the season I’m in. Or was in. Or why I was absent for awhile.
I needed to rest and be satisfied in Him.

5 Things Tuesday - Comeback Style
Hello.
How goes it? I know it’s been awhile. I guess I was on some sort of social media sabbatical. Not completely, just enough to not share everything that’s going on with life.
It just really got to me how there’s this subculture of people so into their technology and who they are online that they’re not enjoying life to the fullest. IRL.
Anyways, I thought it was about time to comeback. Because I do miss you people. Not sure if you missed me! But at least I’ll be getting back into the swing of things. It always helped to process life this way. And to just throw something out there for friends to read.
Anyways, here are 5 things going on with me:
1 BOOK READING CLUB - I’m not sure if I’ve talked about it so much but I’ve discovered this crazy thing called THE LIBRARY and got myself a little library card thingie to put on my keychain and have been just placing holds online. And all these amazing books that I’ve been wanting to read and never gave priority to - I’ve been reading!
You guys, I’m super proud of myself. There’s some great stuff out there.
By far my favorite book has been Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari. It is SO FRICKIN FASCINATING. I also really loved Yes Please by Amy Poehler. And One More Thing by BJ Novak.
Do you have any book recs? I’d love to add some to my reading list.
:)
2 GO MODE - So I’ve been kicking the biz in high gear with coordinating multiple test shoots. This time I’m reeling in agency models, hair & makeup artists, assistants, and wardrobe stylists. Which is great because I really need new stuff in my book.
But it’s so much work! Coordinating everything and also doing all the creative directing. I guess this is why people hire production managers!
It’s crazy because I see the trajectory of where I want to be .. and it’s almost in reach. Almost.
Anyways, check out this mood board I made. I call it “print & pattern” - trying to pull something new in my portfolio. Photo cred: We Are The Rhoads, Sarah Laird & Co, Zara
3 TALKING DEAD - So it doesn’t hurt to have friends in high places. Or at least high places at CBS. Thanks to an amazing friend I was able to score two tickets to the live taping of the Talking Dead episode for the Season 6 Premiere of The Walking Dead.
If you know me at all you know that I’m obsessed with that show. And I cannot wait for this.
CANNOT. WAIT.
4 PRINT SHOP PRELAUNCH - So I’ve been brewing over this idea for over a year. I’ve been wanting to create signature prints forever now. And so I’m doing a soft launch.
I’ve only gotten a handful printed and they’re small (5x5) but they look so good and they look even better framed!
Currently I’m working on creating sets (the first to launch is the Sky’s The Limit set) but I also want to eventually make larger prints and t-shirts.
Yeah! T-shirts. I’m really excited about that one.
All this time doodling t-shirts - maybe it was worth something after all.
Anyways, check out the shop. (it’s still in beta mode).
Or check it out on Etsy (there’s a few more prints available there).
5 NERDWAX ON SHARKTANK - So more friends in high places. Last year some HA alumni friends of mine had launched a Kickstarter to create their first big batch of Nerdwax (it keeps your glasses up). Their goal was something like $5000 and within days they raised over $61,000.
It was nutz.
Anyways, the latest big news is that they’re going to be on Sharktank this week!
I’m so excited for them and am so happy that the Lord continues to bless them.
Y’all can send me some of those good vibes my way ;) <--- I’m talking to the Hejny’s.
Anyways, watch it! And/or buy some!
MONDAY MUSIC SHARE: Jon Foreman - "Caroline" (Official Video)
Oh hey there. It’s been awhile.
You’re probably like “Jo, where the heck have you been?” I’ll tell you more about that later. But for now, I just want to bask in the wonderfulness (haha ... the Wonderlands) that is Jon Foreman.
If you know me at all, you know that I LOVE Jon Foreman. Like, I love Switchfoot. But I LOVE Jon Foreman.
I love his music. I love his writing. I love his stage presence (Switchfoot shows are unreal). And I absolutely love his voice. There was a time in my life that when I was super stressed out, I’d play Switchfoot just to mellow out.
Recently I went to a concert at the Greek where they were one of the four bands that performed (NeedToBreathe, Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors, and Colony House). It was an amazing outdoor concert under the stars. But I swear I had some sort of spiritual experience. And it wasn’t just me - everyone was moved and probably tearing up some.
[SEE PREVIEWS OF THAT CONCERT AND THAT WEEKEND WITH TRES DUDES HERE]
But seriously, I walked away really emotionally raw and just sad at how I lost myself these past few years.
Anyways, I’m in the process of finding myself again. Trying to get back to who I am. And well, Jon Foreman’s newest set of EP’s couldn’t have come at a better time.
Enjoy!

MONDAY MUSIC SHARE: Of Monsters and Men - Crystals
Two weeks in a row!
Here’s a brand new single from the upcoming Of Monsters and Men album, Beneath the Skin.
I feel so on top of it, since it just released this morning.
Sweet.
Ok, I have to get back to work. It’s been one of those kind of Mondays. Where I started late and am now working into the night.
Which is totally cool. Because that’s the kind of productivity that works best for me.
Later tater.

May the 5th Things Tuesday
Hello world.
Long time, no see.
Yeah ... I didn’t mean to be gone for so long.
It’s just life, man. Life kind of swooped in like a storm and just did not quit for awhile.
Sorry about it. But here’s five things going on with me:
1 A TECH REVOLT - It’s been quite a push and pull when it comes to me and my technology. I’ve had issues with my 2011 MacBook Pro. And it’s made it super hard to do anything creative biz related. For the most part, I could get away with just my iPhone or iPad for sales leads and whatnot ... but the actual working on and editing photos, I NEED MY COMPUTER.
And I still haven’t quite fully fixed that problem. But my dinosaur of a Macbook Pro (the old one - from 2008!) is still functional enough for me to do basic things like mail, interwebz, and Excel. So that’s cool. And well, my amazing roommate has graciously let me use her computer when I need to. So praise God. It’s been months in this makeshift computer sitch, but I’m rolling with it.
Not mentioned - the 50mm lens that I finally replaced, the camera battery that’s been shotty for awhile, and I’m still missing the top bar to my background stand. I’m a hot mess. Bah.
It’s been frustrating but manageable. And well, it’s like the #1 reason why I went on my blogging hiatus. If you were wondering why I went all MIA - that’s a big reason why.
2 CIVIC DUTY FULFILLED - Another reason I’ve been gone for awhile is because I served on jury duty FOR THREE WEEKS. It took over my life. Not only were those weeks super hectic, but it was bookended with projects galore.
Which is great, because I was busy, but it was horrible because I couldn’t really take on new work. So it just was bummer financially.
Although, I did learn a lot about the law and have a newfound respect for the LAPD. So I guess that’s a good thing.
3 APRIL WAS FAMILY TIME - If March was all about jury duty well April was all about family time. I’ve had back to back to back to back weekends with family visiting me in LA.
Which is awesome. Don’t get me wrong.
I just didn’t get a chance to rest in between their visits.
Multiple days at Disney. A funeral in Anaheim. A boho chic baby birthday party. A very trafficky weekend dinner on the Queen Mary. And lots and lots of touring LA.
I love my family. And I’m so happy they came to visit. I've just been so exhausted. And I still haven’t had a chance to recover from it all.
But it’s OK! Look, it’s my gigantic baby broseph ... he braved the roller coaster at California Adventure. I’m very proud of him. Next up - Six Flags!
4 TIME TO RECHARGE - So usually I manage to get out of town every 6-8 weeks to let my brain breathe for a bit. But since life has been just plain nutso, I’ve actually gone four months without getting out of LA.
Until today.
I’m officially out of town and back home in Seattle.
I could’ve gone anywhere. Hawaii. Houston. Portland. Orlando.
(And soon OKC - starting in July).
Not this time. Home sounded great. I just want to do nothing.
It’s time to rest and recharge. And I’ll get back to life next week.
5 A BACKLOG OF 5TT’S - I’ve actually had an ongoing outline of drafted 5 Things Tuesdays going on in my head all this time. And I’ve been wanting to write about it all.
There’s something cathartic when it comes to processing all my thoughts. And I found it to be really healthy to think through things and share them with others. And since I haven’t done that in such a long while, I feel so stagnant in life.
So here you go. Here’s the backlog of things I would have shared these past few months:
how absolutely heartbroken it was when Diem Brown passed away
how excited I was about Pitch Perfect 2
the Gilmore Guys Podcast and how amazingly hilarious it is
how completely ROBBED we were in the Super Bowl
how I’ve been a book fiend - Yes Please, #Girl Boss, One More Thing and Other Short Stories just to name a few
that Dear John Hughes was BOMMMMMBBBBB
saw Pete Holmes at the new Sunset UCB Theater
incredibly sad about Harris Wittle’s passing
the absolutely CRAZINESS in the Walking Dead’s second half
and what a BADASS Morgan is
and how freakishly scary Carol is
the awesomeness in the SNL 40th Anniversary show
Back the the Future is coming to the Hollywood Bowl for the 30th anniversary. Huzzah!
Micah Tawlks is doing music again! This time under the name of Myzika.
that Jesse Carey listened to the entire Nickelback discography for seven days straight and raised a TON of money for Charity: Water
that Parenthood finished up and it was beautiful
that Pretty Little Liars is renewed for two more seasons and we still don’t know wtf is going on
um ... GREY’S ANATOMY?! WHAT THE WHAT.
how I managed to pull together a pretty slick Bellatrix costume for a Harry Potter themed birthday party
how Easter service at Reality LA was amazing
how two of my friends got engaged and they let me photograph the wondrous moment
how two of my others friends had a beautiful baby girl and I just can’t even
how I finally finished training for my retouching gig in Pasadena and can now work from home (PRAISE GOD)
There’s probably more. But that’s all that I can think of right now.
:)
MONDAY MUSIC SHARE: MYZICA - Wait Just A Minute
You guys ... after MONTHS of being in hibernation, THIS SONG inspired me to write again.
Hopefully, I’ll follow suit with tomorrow’s first 5TT post of the year.
Thank you, Micah Tawlks, for pairing up this lovely lady to bring us some fun, emotive pop music. And thank you, Nylon Magazine for bringing it to the forefront by calling it the “best thing to come out of Nashville in awhile.”
Make sure to check out their Soundcloud to hear their other single - “Ready or Not.”
That’s it for now. Happy Monday, folks!
:)

But I cracked the code and I'm back. And I'll be updating you on life again!
Happy 2015. Year of the sheep!

5 Things Tuesday
Thursday is just as good as Tuesday, right? I thought so.
1 PRINT COLOR CONUNDRUM - You guys, I've been part of the design world for like ever. I know a lot about creative just as much as sales/marketing but dude, I haven't really gotten any formal training in this stuff. I was a finance major.
So when I have to print a promo piece on a postcard and it doesn't quite look the same as it does on my monitor ... what the heck. Apparently there's a difference in print and web? RGB and CMYK?!
Yeah. I know that. But apparently I don't really know that.
So now. I have a bunch of promo postcards that to me, seem a little off color. They might be OK. But ugh, I guess this is why they send over proofs.
This is dumb. Can we get a do-over?

2 THIS VID - Everytime I watch this, I die laughing. Not because the baby girl is super cute. #hihellocharlie. And not because she's my cousin Eddie's chubster baby girl. I die laughing because of what Jenn says at the end of the video. Hilarious!
Good enough for me!!! #hihellocharlie
A video posted by Eddie Garcia (@djeverede) on Nov 11, 2014 at 3:00pm PST
3 TRAILER CLUB IS BACK - It's official, folks. Some of the best godly men that I know are back sharing their best advice on life, family, and manly stuff.
It's like legit. What one man can do ... another man can do.
I love Trailer Men. And Armor Men.
Anyways, they launched the first podcast episode and I listened to DH speak and my mind was frickin blown. It's about the Blood Covenant. So you can check it if you want. Just know it's like straight up biblical teaching awesomeness. Can't wait for part 2.
Look at these guys. They're the best.
l-r: Randy Olsson, Dave Hasz, Heath Stoner ... straight up legendaries
4 SO MY DAD IS ALL INTO DAVE RAMSEY NOW - and it's awesome. After years of talking to him about finances and life and just the way he spends his money, my dad has seen the light!
So it's kind of funny to be like - yeah. I know, dad. Envelopes. Eat at home. Gazelle intensity.
But I love it. Now just gotta wait until my mom caves.
Although - I'm getting some traction which is good. Hard at times to say "no" to movies and outings and such. But it also makes the times that I do go out a treat. It's a great lifestyle change.
I'm also glad that there's Dave's daughter, Rachel Cruze because she's the BEST. She incorporates a more younger feel to her angle on money. Y'all should listen to her too. Not to mention she's totally legit, funny, and incorporates things like style tips! She's so cool.
OMG - this video is kind of an off shoot, but it's still hilarious. It's TRIPP VISITING DAVE. It's SO FUNNY!
5 MY LITTLE BRO TURNED 15 THIS WEEK - Can't believe it. He's already taller than me. Pretty soon he'll be driving. Getting a job (and taking us out for dinner!).
I can't wait for that day.
Anyways, happy birthday, Nathan! Gimme some Korean Cake!
YOU GUYS - I am in love. With this.

5 Things Tuesday
So ... I sort of was on an unexpected hiatus of sorts. Sorry about that.
I didn't mean to just check out like that, but I kind of was in a funk pretty much all of October and I just needed a break. From like everything. I quit posting on both this blog and my FB Biz Page because I was just kind of burnt out.
Anyways. I'm back. I'm here. I've sort of moved past my funky, cloudiness and am present again.
Lord willing, November will be a much better month.
All this to say, here are 5 things that are going on with me:
1 ON THE BIZ FRONT - Honestly, I've been really overwhelmed because I've been working on actual targeted marketing efforts. This includes setting up on email blasts, researching printers, designing promo mailers, working on the biggest Excel sheet ever of target clients, and figuring out how in the world we'll be reaching out to ad agencies and magazine editors.
It's a big mountain to climb but it's worth it if we start getting bigger, better jobs. That's the goal.
I can't wait to get things going though. It's going to be awesome.
Other big goals on the horizon - complete overhaul of the website (something a bit more SEO friendly) and looking into studio space (I think I may have found one, just need to make sure I have room in the budget for it).
2 SOMETIMES I JUST GOTTA BAKE - October was just super overwhelming for me. There was just a lot going on and I couldn't deal with it at times. So instead, I would bake.
It's just nice to make something with your hands. For me, there's something therapeutic about baking - I don't necessarily want to eat whatever I baked but there's this slight satisfaction with making something from scratch.
I really wish I had a bakery or coffee shop that I could drop these off at. That would be ideal.
Also, I wish I still had my pastry chef jackets. I don't know what happened to them. Someone buy me one.
3 SPEAKING OF CULINARY GOODNESS - I'm on a HUGE cooking show kick. Like for serious.
Ever since we got Hulu hooked up on our BluRay player, I've been eating up the MasterChef and Top Chef episodes. I just looooove it.
And I cannot wait for season 2 of MasterChef Junior. Those kids are what shamed me into learning how to cook this year. Seriously ... 8 year olds who'd school you in the kitchen.
You know what else is amazing? The movie Chef. I mean, that grilled cheese!
I just really appreciate good food photography and art direction.
4 FRIEND FUNK - A while back I talked about how I had a semi falling out with a great friend that really wrecked me. Like I was pretty distraught over what happened then. We're cool now ... it just was a really hard thing to get through.
Well, these last couple months was like deja vu or something. I had two hiccups with two separate friends that sort of destroyed me for a while. It's all cool now, I was just really confused then. I mean, not knowing where you are with friends just jacks you up sometimes.
It's just so weird how that affected me so much.
Thank God for reconciliation. And communication. And grace.
Seriously.
It's all good now. Praise God.
On a side note, lots of other friend circles are great. Clementine (the brunch spot that's featured below) was the home to some great meetups recently. One with my core from Reality LA. Another with a random girl from ORU who lives in LA. I've never met her before but I found her on LinkedIn, of all places. Apparently we were at ORU at the same time, just didn't cross paths at all. So weird! We talked all morning about life and how we ended up in LA. It was kind of awesome.
Apparently there's more ORU people out here ... too bad LA is so spread out. I'd totally love to hang out with more alumni.
5 HEAD IN THE CLOUDS - You guys, this subtitle is two-fold. That's how witty I am with words. Not really.
my vision was totally cloudy - last month I lived in quite a fog, and in most cases I just didn't want to do anything at all. That's what happens when I get in a funk. Which honestly hasn't happened in a long time. But I think it was just a culmination of everything I've mentioned - work overload, friend sitch, and well there was a death in the family too. That last one really hit hard. I'm sad that I couldn't go home for the funeral.
and I really need to get out of town (travel = flying = soaring above the clouds. boom!) - I'm at that critical point where I have to get out of town or my head will explode. I technically still have a few passes to blow before the end of the year, but flying really takes so much out of me sometimes. I've thought about doing some local day trips to like San Diego or Santa Barbara. So we'll see what happens.
So yeah. Hopefully this fog will let up. I really need it to.
MONDAY MUSIC SHARE: The Lone Bellow - Then Came the Morning (Live)
Please forgive me for being so MIA! October was quite a month.
And well, a lot of my posts just got put on the back burner.
But I'm back and kicking off a brand new month with a new Monday Music Share from the Lone Bellow. Hooray!
:)

5 Things Tuesday
Let's see if I can get this in before midnight!
Here are five things going on with me:
1 YOU CAN CALL ME FORGETFUL LUCY - You guys, I have been a quite a Forgetful Lucy lately. First while in the Denver airport, I left my Moleskine notebook behind. If you've ever sat next to me in church, you'd know that this notebook is super important to me. It's chock full of church notes and doodles and to-do lists ... it would be a shame to lose it. Thank God some random guy found it and called the number inside. Apparently I owe him a million cupcakes now.
But that's not it. While shooting that wedding in Denver, I gave my Honor Ring to one of the bridesmaids to hold on to. Apparently, I forgot to get it back. And I've gone about two weeks wondering where the heck it was. Thank God she told the bride. Now I'm just waiting for it to come in the mail. I've had that ring for 14 years! CANNOT LOSE IT. I CANNOT LOSE MY HONOR.
Well, I'm still a hot mess. Yesterday during a shoot I dropped my camera on the lens. On my 50mm prime lens. Like on my favorite lens. UGH.
It's OK though. Ima get me a grip on life soon. Thank God for random strangers who mail you back your things and lenses that you can replace (eventually).
2 THERE'S A HILLSONG MOVIE COMING OUT - Did you guys hear about this? Apparently the trailer is being released in theaters among regular movies.
Can't wait to check it out.
3 BACHI BURGER - If you know me at all, you know that I love me some good burgers. Like legit. Well, I found a new burger joint that is BOMB. And it's on Sawtelle (which is walking distance from where I live).
I love that I live so close to just a bunch of amazing eateries. I'm totally spoiled by it. Come visit me in LA and we can definitely go get some Bachi Burger!
4 GETTING IN THE WALKING DEAD MOOD - We're less than two weeks away from the Season 5 premiere of The Walking Dead. And what better way to prepare for that than by actually doing a TWD marathon with friends who somewhat stopped partway through season 2?
That's exactly what we're doing. Ramming through 3-4 episodes at a time together. Freaking out together. Crying together. It's intense.
I cannot wait until they get to even more crazier parts. Oh man, I love TV.
But I also love me some Bad Lip Reading. Check it.
5 FEEDING THE MIND - I've been trying to stimulate my brain lately with more business, creative industry, and entertainment resources.
I read some very interesting articles on both Ben Schwartz and Bill Hader and was just so intrigued by their journeys. I'm just such a big fan of them both that it was great reading about how hard eventually pays off.
The thing is, as an entrepreneur you can get so caught up in the doing. Answering emails, working on web/social media stuff, being on an assignment. But there are some things that are essential to growing a thriving business. You have to know how to network. You need to always have passion projects. And you have to just keep learning. Always adapting, studying new trends.
It's been really good. And I actually love it. Especially now that I schedule it in. Praise God.
