INSPIRATIONAL TUESDAY…I MEAN WEDNESDAY

Well, helloooooo strangers. I’ve been a bit MIA lately. I’ve had so much going on that I really haven’t had much of a chance to blog. I’ve got new things going up in the store, prepping for shoots, creating logo suites and just generally trying not to loose my hair. I missed my favorite blog day yesterday. So, I decided to go ahead and make today INSPIRATIONAL TUESDAY. Hakuna Matata people.

MY LIFE // SATURDAY MORNINGS

Saturday mornings are for making pancakes and snuggling…how did you start off your weekend? Back when my work didn’t consume my life 24/7, pancakes were made every Saturday morning. And whenever I get some time, I try to make those for my handsome boyfriend. I’m on a clean eating diet, so I had to adapt my recipe accordingly, but these clean-eating pancakes were pretty yummy nonetheless. You can find the recipe at the end of the jump.

PHOTOGRAPHY // MEN’S SHOOT

Sorry, no blog post yesterday. I was busy being CREATIVE. I’ve recently really started to expand in to film photography. I think it will open so many more doors for me as well as make me a better photographer and artist. I’m kind of shy about using film with people–so, I asked my lovely boyfriend to do a shoot with me. And bless his southern, conservative heart-he agreed. And he’s one of those types who doesn’t really pay attention to how he looks so he doesn’t really know how handsome he is….here is a preview…the rest will be on my photography (MINUTES OF LOVE) blog next week…
