2012 horoscope- I'll take it!

My horoscope for 2012 sounds like Eminem's "Loose Yourself."

You've got it going on this year, Leo, as Jupiter continues to reign over your career sector. If you had one shot and opportunity to seize everything you've ever wanted, would you not pounce on it? Well, now is your time! It's all about expanding your perception of what's possible in 2012. You were born for superstar status, and you know it. So what are you waiting for?

My vision for 2012 is pretty exciting.

So, this Superstar had a super-fun, super-productive day off from work in observance of New Year's.

I got my food-life in order today. I will accidentally eat some bullshit if I'm not prepared with lots of healthy snacks, and preparing healthy snacks can be really time consuming but it's worth it!



I broke out the ole glass beads and made some necklace/earrings for therapeutic purposes. Crafting is therapeutic.



I took extra-long to do my makeup for my cousin's birthday dinner.


My newest mascara is Buxom. I love this wand so much I could tell strangers about it. One coat=natural-looking. Two coats=huge, amazing, fake-looking lashes.

Christmastime Busytime

This was the busiest, craftiest Christmas. I attended, or hosted, 9 different Christmas events/gatherings. Lemon cookies for my aunt & uncle, dinner with my step-sister, my niece’s Holiday program & party at school, a Christmas parade, a visit with my Dad’s family, apple pie with friend Wendy, Doritos & koolaid with Jamie, Christmas Eve at my mom’s house, and Christmas day at my Grandmother’s. There was a work event too but that was during the day and I just bought salsa from the grocery store so it wasn’t a lot of work. This all happened within a week and a half. In addition to making candles, I made delicious food items like crab dip, and lasagna, for some of these gatherings. So that’s where I’ve been.

I wore some Christmastime cat eyeliner. My friends/family have to love me no matter what so if I happen to wear uneven cat eyeliner while I am perfecting my ability to apply it, they can’t judge me. Also, I can’t wear cat eyeliner at work. So Christmastime is the perfect time for cat eyeliner, right?


I'm wearing e.l.f. Studio Cream Eyeliner in Black that I applied with a slanted brush here. It's $3 at Target and pretty good to be so cheap! I just got Stila waterproof liquid eyeliner.

The parade I went to was in Bahama, which is a small town in Durham County. It was a cute parade and easily accessible- it was scheduled to start at 10 and we arrived at 10, parked, and found a spot all before it started. No traffic difficulties at all. Here are some highlights in pictures:









Christmastime also brought owl stuffs. A necklace, a statue-thing, and this cute ornament.


My homemade soy wax candles were a hit! Everyone loved them. I made lemon pound cake, pumpkin pie, red velvet with cream cheese frosting, chocolate walnut espresso, and fruit medley candles.


Ebi didn’t miss out on any excitement, either. He loved his milkbones and toys.
