Glass bead making class!

Yesterday I got to use my groupon ticket for a glass bead making class, I got to learn one on one with what I would call a master , she makes the most beautiful sculptures, beads and rings from glass. In one word Amazing. She has been doing this for 9 years, so I had to remind myself  "this is your first class they do not have to come out perfect". I got to play with the torch and make 5 beads, at first I was a bit scared of the torch but after a couple of times, I got it and I was loving the torch.

These are the beads: they are beautiful but not perfect yet........................


handmade using Italian glass

Comfy in a Romper!

Nothing special, simply lounging. It's too hot to be at the pool so I stay inside munching on watermelon and enjoying the AC.

My Monday Etsy finds: The Color White

White to me means summer. I tend to wear white a lot cause I can pair it with any color. White is also the color of purity. Brides wear white in many countries, because white symbolizes a virgin. White means kindness, white is a Monday color. Here are some of my Etsy finds in the color white, enjoy.

Vibram it's like being barefoot but better!

I bought new shoes in the weekend, I did not planned on buying them but after seeing everyone trying them on I decided to give it a try. I was immediately hooked, it is like having my feet on a yummy soft mattress, sounds silly. These shoes brought me back to the time I grew up on Bonaire being barefoot , playing soccer outside with my brothers yes barefoot.  I have been walking on them for the 2 days now and even went to the grocery store in them. I hope that once the Dr. says I can go ahead and return to therapy that I will be able to run in these, who knows maybe this is what will help me. This is the one I bought.

Summer's white jeans

I recently bought a pair of white jeans at Gap and I think it has been one of my most versatile piece this season. I have worn it recently with sandals and then on a night out with heels. I love that you can wear them with a white top or add some pop of color, so many ways.... I sooo love this look.
