For my high school graduation, I found an outfit that made me feel confident! A white stiff but fully-pleated-like skirt, with a red fitted raunchy-side polo tee shirt. It’s that silhouette I love: fit-and-flared. So I drew it! I also love drawing cat ears and tail, because I relate to cats.
MOUTH
TOOTHBRUSH – I now buy bamboo brushes with different colored brushes so my husband and I can tell them apart. I have never liked the cups we put toothbrushes in because they get dusty and dirty and gross over time! So I found silicone suction holders that I stick on the mirror and they hold…
LAUNDRY
Back when I was trying to figure out laundry, I had learned that the conventional detergents weren’t eco-friendly, so I was determined to move away from that. Plus, lugging detergent bottles up three flights of stairs into my apartment wasn’t fun either. First, I tried making my own powder with: washing soda, borax, and grating…
MY STORY CHARACTER
Drew this around 2007. I had a story brewing in my mind then and I was determined to keep this character idea on the left. I find him very handsome! I am working on the story now finally! It’s so cool to see it come into “fruition.”
PERFUME/MAKE-UP
I love what my sister-in-law likes to say, “You Do You.” I know a lot of people wear make-up and that is perfectly fine! I personally never did it. I only put on make-up if I had to dress up for a dance or a wedding. I am also scared that if I do a…
TRAVEL
BRING LUNCH TO WORK – This is what I have always done. It’s healthier and you don’t waste money everyday! I would do sandwiches or salad, with chips on the side. Bringing snacks will curb the vending machine appetite! My husband is terrible at this, despite me trying to make sure he has enough! REUSABLE…
CHECK OUT ZERO-WASTE
Lauren Singer and Bea Johnson are two inspiring people online that completely live zero-waste to the best of their ability. There are plenty of items they talk about that can be taken-care of to make our lives easier and healthier for us and the environment. Things such as straws, water bottles, reusable sandwich baggies, cloth…
COFFEE/TEA
Reducing waste and saving money in this area isn’t so bad. I grew up drinking hot chocolate. In college I tried teas. After having children, I began drinking coffee! TEAS – I have tried loose-leaf and bagged teas. They do taste different. Right now it is faster to use bagged teas. Loose-leaf tends to get…
MUSIC AND IMAGINATION
Growing up, either during the day or at night before sleeping, I would sit with my drawing book, pencil, and music, and go to town drawing whatever I felt at the time. Much of high school I listened to Shania Twain’s Up cd. There was a lot of romance in it and I have always…
DREAM OF TRANSFORMATION?
One morning I had a vivid dream! I had been thinking a lot about some of my peers in high school and how I think they perceived me, which was negative. I was self-conscious in school about what I wore, because I chose to be comfortable over trying to impress. It was more related to…
