that summer time mind


It's getting to be that beautiful Seattle summer. NO City can even come close to a Seattle summer.


Sadly one of my best friends Ericka (who was SUPPOSE to be here all summer) left for Miami. I can't be really mad at her because she has a job down there. Now on the other hand miss j.mena is back home. She just graduated from college (CONGRATS!) So that means me and her are just going to be lazy asses in the sun for the next few months.

shoes (Fred Meyer) converse $12.00
shorts (DIY High Waisted Shorts)
shirt (Salvation Army) $1.50
gold chain (Goodwill) $1.00
two smaller necklaces (Trade off: freebie)
red bandanna (Dollar Store) $1.00

Let me say that converse are THE best summer time shoe. They are comfy to walk in, slip off and slip on easily, the dirty they get the cooler they look. It's my go to shoe when I don't feel like walking around in flats or putting on heavy sneakers.

dancing business


Even though I had to be at work at 6 AM this morning, I went out dancing last night with a bunch of friends. I need to blow off some steam.

I've been stressed about work, money, boy trouble, this and that. And the only thing that makes me feel better is dancing. It's the only time my body seems to make any sense. I am a clumsy goofy person but when I am dancing it's the ONLY time I am actually graceful. And frankly my dear (when I am dancing) I just don't give a damn.


The playlist of the night was Whitney Houston's "Wanna Dance with Somebody"

and iggy azalea "murda bizness"

only slightly hippie


The Dream concert the other night was bloody brilliant! I had a blast. Kendrick Lamar opened for him and I have to say it wasn't his best performance. But The Dream killed it. There wasn't that many people there so it felt like a private show.


Then last night I saw hoodie allen. There were so many children! It was an all ages show but man that shit was ridiculous. Now way what you want about him; homie's got some pretty loyal fans. Also he was so into his craft. He is a GREAT live performer. It's always a treat to see someone actually excited about their art.

(my mother.)

Also yesterday was mother's day. (I had to work at the breakfast spot) But today my mom and I are celebrating. And let me tell you my mother is amazing! She was a hippie back in her day and most def one of my style icons. A huge inspiration on how I dress.
