Currently Loving : February 2012

This months installment of currently loving is utterly RANDOM. Yes, I'm totally strange - and you all know that already - so this should come as no surprise. :)

Here goes - in no particular order :)

Tostitos Roasted Garlic & Black Bean Chips.... anyone else had these yet? AHHHHHMAZING!

Streaming Netflix on my Apple TV

Specifically - Streaming Vampire Diaries via Netflix on my Apple TV.  My current routine is to watch one or two episodes in bed before turning out the light. I'm about 14 episodes into the 44 that are on demand.

Ole Henrickson Truth Serum - My new BFF. This little bottle has gotten my skin back in spectacular shape. It was just plain ANGRY with me for awhile. A sweet lady at SEPHORA hooked me up with it and I'm a total believer!

Now that I'm back to having somewhat non-problematic skin - I'm also delving into a different makeup routine. The same sales chick who recommended the Truth Serum also recommended this MINERAL based liquid foundation.

DIOR SKIN : NUDE FOUNDATION    (*my color is 21 - linen)

I've also recently subscribed to this YouTube Channel - of blogger & makeup artist TANYA BURR. She does these fab makeup tutorials each week and posts them on the web. I'm so inspired by these - and by some of the new products in my lineup - I might try to film one of my own tutorials  just of my everyday makeup. What do you guys think?

 

Tried on this dress from Anthropologie a few weeks ago... LOVED it. But too much looty loot... especially since I have no place to wear it.

 

Just received this Chevron Fabric in the mail last week - going to ATTEMPT to sew some pillows for my couch with it. Key word.... attempt. :) Sewing just isn't my gift.

I ordered it in the grey and green. I'm thinking now that I have it here that the green is going to look best in the room. Though - if all goes well - I may make a pillow out of the grey and just give as a gift.

I'm currently wearing the Essie nail polish - FLIRT. :) It's sort of a brighty orangey-pink. It's a happy color.

Scored this book at Anthropologie (instead of the dress) for my coffee table - still pouring over it. :)

One of my vices as of late...Two of these and a cup of my favorite K-Cup Tea and I'm a happy girl.

Just downloaded this song from iTunes. Played it a bunch of times for Macho this weekend. We danced like monkeys in the playroom and I would pick him up and spin around and around during the choruses. So much that I nearly made myself sick. It was good fun. :)

 

Still practicing the self-portrait thing with my remote control doo-hickey. I'm having a hard time with focus since I'm not able to depress my shutter half way to lock it from behind. Gonna have to Google some tips on how to improve that.

You'll notice - I didn't get dressed up for these (I never do). I kinda like the spontaneous "real life" aspect of this exercise. Just decide to do it in 5 minutes or so - exactly as I am.

And yes.... I am still HATING my hair. Left it go curly (it's naturally curly) on this particular day. HELMET!!!!  However, I'm just trying to be a big girl and suck it up and be patient while it grows.  Blah.

In this case, however, I kinda like the soft focus. Entirely accidental but cool.

I love photography because there's always something to learn.

See? I told you.

RANDOM!

WOW! Love your self-portraits! Please please please share your tricks with the remote-control as I'm having the same troubles... I'm just not able to get the self-portraits in focus. (I'm also using the D7000).

[Katie Pegher]

honestly - up till this point I think its just been dumb luck that Ive gotten anything worthy of keeping. my next move is to call Nikon and ask them about the best way to set up for a shot with the remote.
thanks for being here! ill keep you guys posted.
