Happy Halloween!

Not!  If you know me well then I don't have to tell you that Ghost are my number one fear.  Seriously, I can feel a spirit a mile away - it's a witch vibe that's been passed down to me from my mother's side.  My Grandmother's spirit visited me when my baby was born - which was great but the fact that she had passed years before scared the crap out of me.  Our idyllic cabin in Tahoe came with a ghost and it was not so nice and up to ghostly no good.  So if I am going to have to deal with ghost let it be the sweet kind that I can eat!

I personally love skull prints, jewelry, scarves but keep it down to one really cool ring or vintage rock n roll t - shirt.  Think Keith Richards not pirates or Alexander McQueen not Halloween Spirit. You want to look edgy and cool not like you just walked out of a costume shop.

When I was a little kid I loved Tootsie Rolls.  And it seems that the only time of year that I gorged my self with them was during Halloween. I still love Tootsie Rolls but am a little more cautious when eating one - they seem to have gotten harder and waxier over the year leaving me in fear of pulling out a filling or worse a tooth!  So to get my fix I have found a more adult way - in the form of a cocktail.  Yes!  A Tootsie Roll flavored shot.  Who would of thought that  mixing a little OJ with Kahlua taste just like a Tootsie Roll!  Have fun and remember drink responsibly.

Roasted pumpkin seeds - pain in the ass?  No way, ridiculously easy and you won't feel guilty about gutting your Jack - O Lantern this year. I haven't always been a fan of pumpkin seeds.  Tasting as bland as they look I have always found them uninteresting.  It could have also been that someone told me when  I was a little kid, that if I ate pumpkin seeds I would grow one in my stomach. As the years progress and I have become somewhat wiser (keyword "somewhat"), I have come to the conclusion that pumpkin seeds prepared properly are delicious and I now know that I  won't sprout a patch in my stomach anytime soon!

One year ago today I changed my life forever.  We all know the story, career girl working in the city letting her California dreams of sunshine and bikini's get lost in all that concrete.  It's been a good year - a transitional year.  My family had to get use to the fact that I was home and not working crazy hours and I had to get use to being home with my family.  My goal was to live a better quality of life, be there for my kid and to design swimwear.  I am happy to say all was accomplished.  Next on my list is fashion design school to further my technical skills and to keep living life - on the beach.

BIKINI - P U S H U P

No more girly push ups for me.  I just did 5 - count them 1, 2 , 3, 4 ,5.  My inspiration Gwen Stefani. She's just a girl - right?.  One bad ass girl and I am totally inspired.

Everybody should have a "signature" look. Whether it's a piece of jewelry, a belt or a color you've got to have one.  For me it would be my jewelry from India.  Gold chain necklaces with assorted charms and diamonds, bangles and rings.  I layer everything together and voila there's my look.  What's your signature look?

For me, anything that involves strawberries and whip cream is always going to be c'est magnifique!  A blissful combination, that reminds me of childhood summers.  Throw in a warm soft, pillow of a crepe and I am in heaven.  I wonder how many crepes are too many at one sitting.  Would it be gouache if I ate more than four?

It's mid October, it's Friday, it's 70 degrees!!!! Call in sick, play hooky, to hell with it all take the day off. Pull out your bikini for one last day at the beach, kick back and chillax.  I'll see you there.

My baby is home.  No, not my real baby whose really 6 and 3/4 and hates it when I call him baby (in public).  I am talking about my first love, my truest love my camera.  Oh, how I've missed you. Don't you ever ever short circuit on me again and leave me alone with just my camera phone.  See this picture?  This is a picture of a happy girl with her true love - Nikon.

For me it's a big bowl of buttered noodles, a huge pile of mash potatoes or strawberry cheesecake with a beer - yes, you heard me correctly, with a beer.  Yum.  We all have our favorite, I need a hug, woe is me, I had a bad day, I have a cold, he/she doesn't love me anymore go to comfort food.  What's your favorite comfort food?

BIKINI - S Q U A T S

The one thing I know and have always known is that I have no ass.  It runs in the family.  Who wants to see a flat ass in a perfectly cute bikini?  Not me, so it’s time to start doing some ass exercises.  Don’t get me wrong, I am not looking for a J. Lo butt or anything near Kardashian size, just a little ump.  So if I start doing squats now, I am sure that come June I’ll have a bit of “baby got back”. And if that fails there’s always padding.

I love them so much and just can’t bare to put them away.  We’ve done a lot of fun things together, gone on vacation, lunch in the city, the beach of course and kicked around town.  But the rain has come and I just don’t think my feet can take the ice cold pitter patter, drip drops of water.  Bye bye pink flip flops hello Uggs.

Toast is toasted, butter has been perfectly applied and a healthy sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar is now absorbing all of that lovely butter. One piece just won’t do.
