OK I know it's not fall yet... But these colors just stuck out in my head today. I felt a little morning chill on campus so of course I automatically started dreaming about sweaters, vest and boots {OH MY}. Shhhh I'm kind of excited for a little season change... I know San Diego's season change isn't as dramatic, but hey a girl can dream! Orange and Black just seemed so fitting today.   hope you all are enjoying your day today!

tuesday {tell all}

Lately my skin has been pretty bad... Yes, I'm in my 30's and I still get acne. Yes, I have stress and break out because of my hormones {arghhh}... And Yes, I do still pick  my pimples. Ok... I'm human! But you know what as you all were in hours and hours of horrible labor I only pushed for 13 minutes and gave birth to my son... All natural! HA take that! So theirs a trade off in life. {hahaha} 

Ok... Back to the tuesday {tell all} of a beauty product. I was informed by one of my clients that their is a brand at Walmart called Equate Beauty... That's equivalent to Proactive. Her father is a dermatologist and says it's pretty much the exact same product and way cheeper. Well, I'm pretty sure you all guessed what I did after that meeting.. Yes, went to Walmart. No joke my assistant was still in the car... Hey, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do!   

 

I would try it... I'm religiously using it right now and so far I can see a change in my skin. Plus, it saves me the hassle of ordering Proactive on line or going to UTC to the little cart and buying it. Talk about expensive and such a headache... 

good luck

happy sunday...

I need to remember this... I struggle with getting stuck in the past {constantly}. I know it's normal... And extremely common! We tend to do what is most comfortable to us in life...  But I know it's not going to move me forward to my new chapter. I'm definitely trying to change and grow... I know that's the best ingredients for a successful future!

big big news

{Aug. 2014 - 3rd & 1st grade - Paul Ecke Central}

Well, Sean and I did something that we've been thinking about for a few years now... Put our little ones into our local public school! This huge decision has been weighing on me for new joke this entire summer! It was so hard for me to make the final decision. Not gonna lie I was the reason why we didn't send the kids to our local public school since the beginning!  Hey, I'm going to own up to that!  See, I was raised in the private school district as a child in Los Angeles... So I figured that's what my children were going to do. In private school... I love the uniforms {no joke EVERY school public/private should have uniforms}, the secure environment {all gates are locked down... hard core security}... No joke white gloved service at pick up and drop off {very safe and organized} and the family environment is so comforting to me.... Plus, they say the lords prayer and the pledge of allegiance! Hello, I believe {cherish} in morals and values and traditions for my kids. I wish all public schools were like that! Ok I won't preach because I don't like it when people do that to me... {wink}. I can't tell you if we made the right move, but I do know that my kids are so happy right now! Monday was their first day at Paul Ecke Central. They told me all the kids are so nice and super friendly. That was music to my ears. I was worried that they wouldn't fit in or make new friends. I know it's still the beginning and time will tell... But just seeing their happy faces makes us so happy and content! I absolutely loved walking on PEC campus this week and running into so many people that I know... It's great to see their jaws dropped and eyes bug out seeing me there {HUGE smile}! HI! 

The funny thing is... I was running last Saturday with my bike partner little man Ryan and made the final decision. It came clear to me that their is more to life than iPods, iPads, cell phones or the latest and greatest purchase or who has what. I want my kids to see the real world through real kids... I want them not to judge or be superficial in life. Not saying that's all private schools... So please don't take that sentence that way at all! This is our feelings for our children... To each his own in life! I do want to show them that trips around the world and volunteering at their local shelter is the real deal. My parents did that with my brother and I. Thank you mom and dad! We will try our hardest to teach our kids kindness and to love all... Poor or rich! Life is truly so short. I had a huge conversation with my dad the night before school started... I asked for him to protect and watch over my babies! Let them find happiness and have so much fun!  He did! Thank you so much dad... I do believe in heaven! I do believe in you... STILL! 

As I said before Sean and I made this decision for our children... We are happy. We do understand that the kids will have bad days, I will get upset with kids and even parents and teachers... But that's life at every school! Nothing is never perfect, but we do know we will be right there for our little ones every step of the way... The good, bad and then ugly {hahah}! I am scared what the future will hold... But guess what you guys I am real! I will admit my faults and cry or squeal with excitement when I'm right! So onward and upward... It's time to smile and laugh more! OMG I still can't believe that that my kids are in a different school... {smile}! Talk about big big news!

looking back...

 

I've been looking back at some of my past projects today {trying to organize my portfolio}... This one home here in Encinitas really stands out to me for many  many reasons. One I just adored the clients and two this project was so much fun designing from top to bottom. The freedom that they gave me... Really helped our design process together run absolutely smooth and extremely fast. We laughed and definitely conquered on this job site! I hope to work on many more homes with this family! It does make a difference when  a client trusts you {wink}. I understand trust is huge... If you don't feel it from the beginning then yes, I do advise you run from the project with them. Hire an interior design that you want to be around. Believe me Interior Designers do that too... If it doesn't feel right you shouldn't work together. Back to this client... Thank you for letting me be me... And make your home absolutely stunning!
