I'm obsessed with this song right now. Its pure magic. This is what expressing yourself through music is all about. Truly.
Argh I'm still too stupid to figure out how to make my blog wider so you can see videos and pictures better....just click it and watch it on the youtube site if you are having troubles seeing the whole thing!

Let me put music inside of you.
I want to start sharing a lot more music I love on this blog too. I listen to so much different stuff, and I'm always looking for people to share my obsession for a variety of music with.
I'll start by sharing this song,by one of my favorite bands, Cocteau Twins.
This song is off their first album, Garlands, from 1982.
The album is haunting magic, one of my favorite of theirs. The whole album is worth checking out, not just this one song. I highly suggest it <3
Their music follows me everywhere. It is like the ethereal soundtrack to my mind.
This song holds special meaning, its off the album Four-Calendar Cafe, from 1993.
This album is much different then their first album, less of dark wave/goth, but still just as ethereal and surreal.
Still just as beautiful.
Elizabeth Fraser (vocals) is such an amazing creature, putting words and sentences together in the most mystical and most of the time nonsensical of ways, and is very much glossolalia, or, speaking in tongues almost, emphasizing syllables in ways that differ from what you'd normally hear.
"part of her appeal is how she can make hard-to-interpret lyrics so emotionally gripping."

Lots more music shares to come in the future.

I'm back with lots to say
I tend to disappear for long periods of time when it comes to blogs. After March hit I was swamped with school work, getting garments finished for the end of the year and the fashion show (May 1st), which I won second place in a challenge at! Here is the winning dress:
For the next 2 weekends I was costume management on my friends film shoot about D&D in the 80's. I also acted in it, my first time ever! I played a swamp witch.
hahaha. I totally have a whole new respect for actors, doubt I'll be doing it again any time soon! But I couldn't pass that opportunity up!
Between all this I've been job hunting like crazy, and in the midst of it all I managed to find the best job ever! I help out with a vintage/womens consignment shop called Lovely Betty. Its literally next door to my house so no travel expense! That is damn nice for a change!! Its the cutest little store ever, I am totally in love with it and the owners are way too nice!
Pretty happy with life at this moment. I'm still looking for another part time job, I really hope I can find one soon!!
That is it from me for now. I'll try to make more kick ass posts

Determination
had a good little stretch and toning session this afternoon. Gave my hula hoop a good whirl too after moving some stuff out of the way. I'm getting pretty good at it!!!! :D I'm so pumped for warmer weather so I can do it outside!!!
Got a good start to my new schedule today :) Feels good!
Right now I'm just puttering around different homework assignments. I am going to be doing a presentation on Thierry Mugler so I've been reading up in 2 of his books and searching around online for different things.
I'll post some delicious images later (I'm actually having a really hard time finding nice quality images of his work online, I'm going to have to scan pages from the books I have)

Don't have to keep track of the days I love myself
because it should be every day for the rest of my life!!!
I came up with an awesome master schedule that I'd like to start first thing in the morning (though it more so applies to a week that isn't a march break)
I need to fucking focus so much more. I'm honing in on the problems, but getting the issues out of the way is the challenge to getting more in touch with myself, more focused with my life.
The past couple weeks I've been making lists, writing shit down just to try to gain a bit more organization. If I'm going to get shit done I have to plan it out. I have to think everything through, and pay attention to everything as fairly as possible.
I KNOW I'm crazy. And I definitely always feel like I'm going crazy. Sometimes I think its a good thing though.
I'm someone who likes to accomplish lots of things at the same time, and I do get things accomplished on a regular basis, but to me I still feel like I'm wasting time, like I'm not doing enough, basically I just feel like my daily time management sucks, and this is what I am hoping to change.
and here is my small but growing list of what Radical Self Love means to me:
~ Getting stuff done on your personal lists
~Doing things for your health daily.
~Pushing yourself sometimes, but not too hard
~Treating yourself to little things whenever you can
~Not putting yourself down
~Staying positive
~Staying true to your own feelings and being yourself
~Trying to face your fears
~Setting personal goals and actually working towards them
~Accepting what you are given and using what you have to work with to fullest potential
~Not beating yourself up when theres things you can't achieve immediately
~Staying as organized as possible
~Having a motivating work environment
~Removing distraction and addictions from daily routine
~Relaxing when necessary
~Not letting what other people have and/or think get you down
~Appreciate what good you have in life and know you could have it much worse.

<3
This week has been getting better, lots of ups and downs but I'm feeling pretty good today. Self loving is a very hard thing to do, and because this month has been so brutal is the reason why I decided it was the best time to start being more aware of how negative I can be about stuff.
I promise this blog will start getting more interesting to keep up with once I am better at the self love. I'm slowly but surely doing a relatively ok job.

Braces is NOT a fun go.
Extremely long and confusing story short, I am more or less an irregular case because I'm doing it after having a full time bite plate.
That bite plate realigned my jaw to sit correctly, which leaves me with literally ZERO bite (no contact at all between my top and bottom teeth except for 2 teeth on the back left side) and those 2 teeth hurt like HELL when they touch...
Oh here is what my teeth closed together looks like to give you a better mental image of what I'm talking about:
what my "bite" looks like
Pretty scary huh?
I had gone with the bite plate so long that I was so used to eating with it and I didn't realize how much of a problem this was going to be for me once my braces went on.
My teeth all hurt to touch and I've been living on yogurt,boosts,and thin soups.
The braces are prepping me for surgery in the summer to FIX my natural jaw alignment so my teeth my contact again. So I have a feeling I'll be living with this abnormality for quite a few months :(
Though its radical self love month, today was a day of radical self hate...it hurt so bad but it happened...I had gone a whole 14 days almost without getting THIS down on myself.
I'm just scared...confused...frustrated (more or less over this whole "my jaw/teeth sit frighteningly scary and my teeth ache" scenario) and I'm taking it out on myself, and even others. Depression gets the better of me, it kicks me while I'm already down.
I have to focus...realize what other people think doesn't have to matter, and that I don't have to relate or have tons in common with everyone I associate with....its a lonely feeling though sometimes, I can't help but feel out of place with tastes and such and it sucks sometimes, but I guess I can look at it as being unique and just keep all this good stuff to myself...or something along that line. <3
Focus on my big goals, and mini goals.
I need to get back to my analytical self and start making crazy schedules for EVERYTHING to get myself more organized and inclined to get more shit done. For someone that is usually very organized, it hurts how unorganized my life is lately....and I've already mentioned before that organization is a good step towards better self loving, but I'll try to organize a bit and then after a couple days the clutter (mind and physical) starts building up again. So its a hard battle at the moment, but I feel I will get there! I just have to step it up!
Its just really hard, especially at the moment, battling against annoying physical hardships and the chemical imbalances in my brain.
This will get easier... I just have to keep telling myself that. EVERYTHING is going to get easier....maybe not soonish but fucking some day, right? lets hope so!

I haven't been online much at all lately!!! Definitely been keeping pretty busy! I'm doing a major thing to love myself by not wasting time online as much, and focus more on crafting and school work :)
I'm going to start my exercising again much sooner then I thought!
I got braces put on for the first time ever today.
They are feeling fine for the most part. They said not to expect TOO much pain or spacing of teeth because of how straight my teeth already are! :d So that is a major relief. They actually look kind of cute, all purple to match my hair :D
My mouth is feeling REALLY dry with them in though. Bleh!
I came home for the afternoon, I need to get shit done around the house! I think a friend is coming over tonight for a bit, to hang out and look through the swap remains and then hopefully she'll take the rest away to the Community Living box for me, that would rock! Then I'll be able to get to my craft corner again!
I really need to self love MUCH more then I am, I sort of feel like I'm failing at it, but I tell myself I could be doing A LOT worse!!!

Day 8 and 9 of RSL
Day 8
Valenines day rambling....
Who needs valentines day when you are in a relationship like the one I'm in?
I am very thankful for how much love is in Scott and I's relationship. Its been almost 7 years. And our love just grows stronger.
Both of us more or less see valentines day as a way for a business to make a couple extra bucks after Christmas.
A day of the year shouldn't be the only excuse to be romantic...romance should happen way more often in a relationship.
But Valentines DOES remind me that I am not very romantic towards Scott on regular basis, and (normally) vise versa. But thats just it, it works both ways, right? Why should I expect romance from him if I'm not romantic back? This is totally understandable to me especially for a couple that has been together this long.
Its like we can't be bothered, but at the same time we WANT to be romantic,and valentines day reminds you to try, and its frustrating because its like not knowing how to go about it, and not wanting it to be forced..that and we don't want to be sucked in by what that day of the year has become.
I don't know.
But Valentines day confuses me and makes me feel lame and its all the commercialism's fault placing value on falsely important things.
Does this make sense to people?? Or was that really just a complete nonsense rambling? lol
So BLAH valentines...especially when its on a sunday! Scott and I will be going out to dinner and to see WolfMan tomorrow night, I'm pretty excited! That will be our "valentines" together really :) <3
All and all, there was not much self loving going on valentines, (not really any self hate either, just a neutral contemplative day) except for some well deserved relaxation before a day filled with homework.
Day 9
I decided today that I will start exercises regularly as soon as I get comfortable with my braces on (they are being put on this thursday, stay positive Kiwi!!!)
So this should give me enough time to come up with a good exercise plan. Its not like I have to lose weight, but I do need to tone up a bit and thin out my upper arms. Any suggestions? I have a few dvd's I'm planning on trying out, but I need to do up a schedule I can stick with.
Got lots of work done today at school. <3 also started reading Gala's list of 100 Ways You Can Start Loving Yourself Right Now.
Going to go finish that up and then get to doing a bit more homework!

Day 7 of RSL
Just got finished doing a very LONG awaited mermaid photo shoot. I made the fin when I was 18 (I'm 23 now) and I've been collecting other random mermaid type garb for the past several years, and I FINALLY got to put it all to good use with
Dragonfly Photography
. <3 Really I feel accomplished to have that idea done and over with FINALLY.
It went epically well, the body painter was fabulous! The miniature setting they are shopping me into (I was shot in front of a green screen) is SO FREAKING NEAT!!! :D
The girls are very excited to start their editing process! I can't wait for pics and obviously I'll share asap!
Today rocks :) I have a clothing swap I am hosting tonight followed by a mini birthday party, so I'm pretty pumped!!!

Day 5 and 6 of RSL
Yesturday was good I treated myself to solid food for the first time in over a week (it was necessary as mentioned below)
I've been doing good taking my vitamins every morning, I'm not used to doing so so I'm getting better.
I wore my kick ass vintage green dress w/black polka dots to school yesterday as well, I was feeling super awesome and colorful with my freshly dyed hair <3
Today was relaxed, had my afternoon class and now I'm just home preparing for the big day tomorrow.I have that mermaid shoot I mentioned first thing in the morning, and then I have a clothing swap party happening at my place 6-9 and then a mini birthday party for my friend after. Should be a kick ass day!!
I promise to soon start making other posts of awesome loving and inspirational collections of pictures, i've just been busy and hardly have time to make my RSL mini updates!!! I want to start making lovely lists of things I love too <3

Day 3 of RSL
....
I haven't done anything self love wise yet!!!! There was just nothing to treat myself to in that way, it was a day of nothing but school work and running around picking up prescriptions and cat litter...I bought myself a new type of pudding, even though I'm sick of pudding no matter what the flavor, but I guess its something! LMAO!!
I think I mentioned I got gum grafting surgery done on friday, and since then all I've been eating is yogurt,pudding,chicken noodle soup and apple sauce and I can't really eat anything else until thursday. I just want to eat something good SO badly!! Its hard not to be grumpy!
Maybe I'll try and start a little RSL sketch/note book this evening....

Day 2 of RSL
Today was a bit frustrating because there was too much work to do and not enough time, but I didn't let the rushed day get me down. :D
After supper I went to Jinglers(thrift store) with Rebecca and bought myself an awesome pair of pants!
The dyes I ordered came in the mail today!!! I'm making an appointment to get my roots done on wednesday evening and then I'm going home after wards to put in a fresh coat of purple, and good longer lasting stuff this time!!! Yay! excited to get rid of 2.5 months worth of roots! My hair grows way too fast. ~_~
Though I'm totally jumping ahead of myself boasting about self love on wednesday hehe
I have SO much work to catch up on this week, especially tomorrow. Gonna be a late evening at the school after classes! ~_~
But it has to be done.
I stress out a lot and I have to try and change that.
I have good news for myself too. I made a mermaid fin in hopes to do a mermaid photo shoot YEARS ago, probably going on 4 years now, I've had all this stuff sitting around waiting to be used in a magical setting.
Recently I got a hold of a studio in my area called Dragonfly Photography Studio,and they got a hold of a body painter, and now it seems after years pending I get to do my mermaid shoot 9am this saturday morning!!!!
I'm soo freaking excited, though I feel nervous, I really want it to go well because its been long anticipated, you know?!!
Today's RSL: bought myself a pair of pants,made myself a kick ass smoothie, and I started to update this blog again, revamped it and started sharing my RSL with you guys here...plus I'll start sharing other awesome stuff too <3

Day 1 of RSL
(this was actually Feb 7th, I have to catch up entries)
Today, since I'm still taking it easy from a surgery I had friday, my only act of radical self love was purging the hell out of my room.
Clothing, old nicknacky toys, accessories, jewelry, I have almost 4 of those big reusable grocery bags stuffed full for the clothing swap I'm having on saturday evening.
I've had swaps before, and I try to weed out my closet every now and then because I accumulate quickly being a thrift shopper hehe. BUT THIS TIME I meant serious business.
Its ridiculous how much stuff I hoard that I don't need. I could technically have a use for most some day, all costume and prop stuff has its use to me and that is what makes it sort of hard to do this!!! BUT the clutter dampens my organization. And I NEED organization!!!
I also started some new vitamins today, so I guess that counts as self love something too! :)

30 days of Radical Self Love
I discovered Galadarling.com very recently, and have become very in love with that whole blog site. Gala is an incredible visual writer, painting with words beautiful mini tales of inspiration!
No one has made me feel so inspired to love life since the last Francesca Lia Block book I read, so its been awhile! I'm always trying to be more positive with life, and it can really be hard sometimes. Being a small town girl,a full time fashion student with no money and too much anxiety to travel far from home, you can get down on yourself quiet easily, so its nice to be reminded to cherish all the little beauties in life.
So anyway this leads me back to me reading specifically about Gala's Radical Self Love Month. It started at the first of this month obviously, but I figured that it is always a good time to start loving yourself.
Plus this has been and will be a brutal month for me so I figured I need the TLC.
I've been wanting to start my own kick ass inspiration blog for quite some time now, and I figured this would be a good way to kick that off, and Gala definitely inspired me to get a move on it!!!
I'm sorry this isn't the most interesting looking blog in the world, I'm not the best with html, but I'll try to keep it interesting as possible!
Thanks for reading.
