I’ve decided to go as a Dia De Los Muertos Doll for Halloween this year. So, to sweeten up my costume I thought I’d make a flower crown. Turns out, it’s really simple and super fun!
Things you’ll need:
headband, masking tape, faux flowers, & a hot glue gun (I couldn’t find mine so I just used rubber cement).
1. Wrap your headband in masking tape.
2. Pull the pretty flower buds from their metal stems.
3. Glue each bud to your headband.
4. Let it dry completely & then have some fun!
you are a blur
you are the past
no longer will i be that
it’s your turn
your turn to be anything
anyone you want
to be happy
to do good
to be alive
to live & to love.
I remember way back when
We used to talk and laugh
Till dawn i’d pray it’d never end
I remember way back when
I used to love you
Take me on those walks again
Under streetlights I would wait
Words you’d say i’d take to heart
To this day I cherish every part
I wonder if you feel the same
Am I the only one who’s going insane
Why can’t I just shake it off
Guess i’ll have to wait and see
If our paths will cross
Went looking for something
Had my doubts from the start
Had my heart set on your frown
Don’t watch as I melt to the ground
You ask me how’s it going
And it’s true that I lie
Right through my teeth I fib and die
I stare up at the clouds and cry
I wonder how you’re doing
Every now and then
Since I left without a word
I think I should confess
Can you ever forgive me?
For the way that I was
I was naïve and young
Afraid of these feelings
I still run
Give and take is what they say this is
I wait for the day that I’ll change
And stay
But somehow I don’t think that day
Will ever come my way
Wait, just wait
I swear I’ll find myself one day
Please give me a moment
To pray
To change
To love
Thanks to Calico Skies, my best friend, Jen, and I decided to make our own screenprinted tees. What a seriously fun way to express yourself on a tee! I wanted to put something that had meaning and what is more perfect than these words, Live True. This saying means a lot to me. It came into fruition back when I was living in San Francisco and now, more than ever I need to remember these words. To live true to myself and never lose track of what makes my heart beat.
Under the sheets
I hide away
Hoping that this darkness
Will fade
Open my eyes
Don’t take my hand
Cause all my fears
Will push you away
Tread a little further
Hoping this will get better
As I take a look back
All I see is the beginning
Dreaming by day
I stay awake
Waiting for nightfall
To arrive
Maybe someday
I’ll look back and I’ll say
Just take a breath
And it will be
Okay
Love Out Loud
