How Is It Already Summer?!

It's hard to believe how fast time flies. Just yesterday, I was snowboarding in the mountains and now I'm prepping for a family trip to Hawaii (shameless brag alert)! I remember the summers of my youth...the excitement, the anticipation, the long days in the sun. If I can capture just a tiny sliver of that, I'll be one happy girl!

SADDLEBAGS

08/30/2010 by JJ

Ah, age. You are a such a little brat.

Every now and again, I’ll catch a reflection of myself and see a big batch of grey hair…and I call my salon immediately. Likewise, I might notice my frown lines deepening…not because I frown a lot, but rather because I squint due to too much sun. In those cases, I slap on some deep moisturizer and call my facialist for a little microdermabrasion.

However, I just saw something HORRIFYING that I don’t know how to control. It’s new and it’s NOT pretty.

I shot a wedding earlier this month and my second shooter sent me her files today. And I saw the nastiness…deep, dark circles under my eyes. WHERE DID THESE SADDLEBAGS COME FROM and HOW LONG HAVE I HAD THEM?

See how sad and pathetic they are?

Anyone have any solutions? I need to put a REAL smile back on my face…not one like this scary fake one…and one that makes me look younger than I am. And I’m pretty sure it won’t be real until I get rid of these bags! ; )

WHERE I BLOG

08/30/2010 by JJ

My friend Kate, the Centstational Girl, is having a linky party today on where we blog. And because I’d jump off a bridge if my friends were jumping, I’m linking up!

The photo to the right is my GIGANTIC home office. {smirk} Yes, the tiny shoebox that I call home does not have an office, nook, or even built-in. Rather, I have a corner of my bedroom where I do my blogging and run my photography business. It’s tiny, but it works.

When I initially decided to make this corner my office, I knew instantly that I wanted a mirrored desk. It had the degree of “bling” that I was searching for. I had a few options to choose from, but was STOKED to find this one for a killer deal at JC Penney of all places! They have a great furniture department and this desk was hand delivered.

The convex mirror came from Aaron Brother’s and the shelves came from Target. I HATE THOSE SHELVES. They were so challenging to hang properly, and man, they fell out of the wall about seven gabillion times as I was trying to hang them. The accessories came from all sorts of stores. I really love the vintage cameras and the bust. I renovated the chair as a part of another linky party last year – woo – and the iMac is my newest baby! I LOVE this sucker!!!

So, there you have it. I blog in the corner of my bedroom on a mirrored desk with my FABULOUS computer. It’s not flashy, but I couldn’t be happier.

Where do YOU blog???
