What we gonna do when they come for you...?....?

(Extremely random title...Badu on the brain...)

Once again, I've neglected to update for the longest. :-/

By this point I've changed my mind about showing the dress mentioned in the last post. Instead, look below for something really cool.


Yep, yep! Bottom of the right page...with the green background....that's me! :-) Click to make larger.

Last month I spoke with an editor at 008magazine (local publication) about having a write-up about me and my designs published in their magazine. I did a couple outside photo shoots at her request (some of the pics can be seen here) so I could get some with good lighting. At the end of the month I sent the final pics and waited to here back. Well, I never did, so I figured they'd decided against it or something.

The other day, though, while visiting with the owner of one of the boutiques where I sell my creations, I was congratulated for my article in 008magazine. My reaction was, "Huh?" I hadn't checked out this month's issue but was pleasantly surprised when I finally got a hold of a few (several) copies. Such a nice summary that was written. Other than the original email, I really didn't submit any info other than pics. Matter of fact, the pics I submitted weren't even used. It's all good though. I'm thrilled just the same. :-)

Unfortunately, it's hard to read here, but I'm really pleased with what was said.

*big goofy smile*

Green Goodness

Ok...back to the clothes sometime this week. (I have a cute dress I wanna show y'all)

But for today I just have to share this beautifully delicious salad I made.

It haaaaas...... red leaf lettuce, green cabbage, cucumber, carrots, alfalfa sprouts, tomatoes, broccoli, onion, garlic, parsley, fresh lime juice, a little pure, cold- pressed, unrefined olive oil, and a (large) pinch of cayenne pepper.

Maaaaan, was it good! I was gonna make tahini dressing but decided against it. A good tahini dressing can really set it over the top, but I'm always satisfied with nothing but lime juice. I don't even need olive oil. If I have some I'll use it, though, to help keep the insides right. ;-)

Natural, holistic food and holistic health and wellness in general are other passions of mine. It's just the goodness. For real. :-)
