I dislike tumblr but I LOVE the PUSHEEN

I joined tumblr but I don't like it... I had trouble uploading my photos; I couldn't get my posted links to work on my tumblr blog even though I did it through their system (add custom link option, etc); I had trouble posting/sharing content from other sites that didn't have an automatic "share on tumblr" button. Therefore, I don't think I will use it that much since I love this blog and since I already have a twitter account for sharing (and EVERY site has a "share on twitter" button!). GRRRRRRR I also logged back into my livejournal account and found it ti be even more confusing to navigate....sigh*

Aways , I have recently fallen in love with a webcomic cat called Pusheen. Pusheen is sooooo cute and plump, and I LOVE the animated gifs that the artist, Claire, draws, and the cartoons are cute too, love her &Andrew's sense of humor.
Please look at this link http://everyday-cute.tumblr.com/ and see her Tumblr blog and old comics page links- both are soooooooooooo awesome. You can even see a shop link and buy pusheen jewelry, tees, and plush.

I am uploading the free wallpaper background pic as an example of her cuteness above..
Epic Cuteness!

So now I like dangle-y earrings ? :)

Lately I have taken a liking to earrings..... I don't know why.... Perhaps it is because of the variety of unique ideas that I see.




It's always fun to be wearing a bit of art!  I am especially developing a liking for "dangly" earrings even though I did not like them growing up...... You will note that my taste is very eclectic and eccentric though, and here are some from etsy that I especially like (and now own). These range from dichroic glass in fiery lavender and sky blue, to playful paper dolls reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland. I also love the current floral trends as well as anything that reminds me of ice cream....because who doesn't!   ;)

So, here are the featured earrings- all found on etsy.com in the following shops.
The paper doll ones are by munieca
The ice cream ones are by ajillionpieces
The flower ones are by smilingsoul2
The dichroic glass ones are by myfusedglass

Hawaiian theme gift basket

These are some ideas for a Hawaiian themed gift basket for a girl.
1. Pacifica solid (or spray) Perfumes in Waikiki Pikake or Hawaiian Ruby Guava
2. Tickets to see the movie "Princess Kualani" (aka. title "Barbarian Princess") staring the beautiful and refined Q'orianka Kilcher
3. a Fabric lei or , for a modern twist, a flower hair clip (from Claires or anywhere else that sells them)
4. a cd by Isreal Kamakawiwo'ole, his rendition of "Over the rainbow" is amazing!

lovely eyeshadows

I went and splurged on make-up today.....I saw all these reviews online for Coastal Scents 88 palettes and bought myself the matte one and the shimmer one.....actually over ebay its not that expensive. I (as an artist and a girl) am excited to play arround with these colors!!!!!!!
