babysitting + makeovers = fun!

The other night I babysat two of the cutest girls on the planet with my awesome bud, Claire. The highlight of the night? Giving Maya (age 4) and Claire makeovers. Mind you, neither of them have EVER had one before- making the experience all the more memorable.

Dinner @ Leann Chin's and a short trip to Patina beforehand was also a plus.

Already thinking of Baby Sydney, here's what we found at Patina:

MMM. CHEESEBALLS. 

After we put the little one down, we got rollin'.
Let the festivities begin!

After we put the other little one down, we continued partyin'.

A fun and beautiful evening!

self lovin' [gala darling: radical self love]

This should go viral.

Too many girls and women today lack love for themselves. It's time for that to change.

This new and amazing role model of mine shares her story and inspiration on starting the movement.

daddy's day

Today's a day to celebrate dad's everywhere.
Today's the day that I thank mine.

I love you Dad! And I appreciate all that you do.

brother's card.

my card.

[too bad 'today' was actually yesterday. sorry for the late post!]

stormy weather

Rainy days are my favorite. There's just something about the pitter patter of the droplets on the window that is calming. And so, relaxed and inspired, I grabbed my umbrella and took a wonderful walk in the rain yesterday.

Very cleansing and thought provoking.

start a booming business

I know it's been a while since my last post, but school's out and summer's here! But being a teenager comes with many expenses. There's the important stuff: sports/activity fees, gas money, insurance, etc. Then there's the not-so-important-but-still-need-money-for stuff: going out to the movies, the pool, plays, museums, restaurants, clothes, etc. And my budget's pretty tight, (i.e. nonexistent). So if you're looking for a way to make a little extra dough without the constraints of a summer job, join me in my business building efforts.
In past years, I've been a big babysitter. But since the school year picked up my schedule's been booked, and my name's gotten a little lost. So I thought creating a business card would help bring it back.

(I apologize for the horrible image quality)

It's simple yet colorful enough to catch one's eye, and hopefully put on the fridge. A business card brings a bit of class and professionalism to what you do, and proves to customers/clients that you take your job seriously.
Any other ideas or stories? Let us know.
Well, I wish you the best of luck!
