What are you doing this mothers day weekend? I have been
celebrating with some of my favorite friends for the past week. So
many birthdays, and and great friends in town, it only seems natural to
keep the party going! I have been loving settling into my new home
overlooking Swamis and looking forward to my next adventure in life.
While waiting around to find out what is next I may as well hang out
and work with one of my friends Shaney. She just opened a pop up shop
next to UNIV in the Hansen's parking lot.
Join me this Friday
for fun in the sun at Keep a Breast's pop up shop. Shaney and I will be
hanging out like old times and possibly having some sort of fun, I can
only imagine. All profits from It's a Luv Thing will benefit Keep a
Breast.
I hope you are all enjoying this magical month of May, this
weekend is not only Mother's Day but a new moon and solar eclipse, so
all kinds of wacky things are going on in the universe. I will bring my
tarot cards and we can hang out in the boobies trailer and see what's
next for you.
I hope you will join me as well as my friend Lindsay from Malaika this Saturday for a spring shopping fling at Lemongrass.
What a great way to try on spring than a stroll through their amazing
garden and to seek out a few treasures for yourself. This amazing space
is the perfect place for me to host my last public showing for It's a
luv thing for this season. I am looking forward to trying on a few
other career opportunities while still doing its a luv thing on the
side. I do hope you will grab your girlfriends and join in the fun.
Saturday 10 to 3 Lemongrass Spa
And you know how I love change! I am also moving so everything must go!
Spring has Sprung and I am happy to be back on the road in my Luv
bus. This week I am touring around town with my friend and fellow
fashionista Mandy from Sasha & Me. We often hang at the same
events, having similar clientelle and style, so we have decided to
spend the weekend on a bus tour. Check us out around town for Easter
treats for the ones you love in your life! Of course it is always
important to love yourself first so track us down for some fun this
weekend and to see all my new Spring Luv Thing brand items.

Grey Day, Sunny Day? Please March make up your mind already! March is one of those months where, when the sun is shining I am up and ready to take on the day, but when it is grey, well not so much. And what to wear? So difficult, cold then hot. Layering of all shades and textures is usually a go to for me, but mostly, I get the itch to move things around in my house. Last week I had surgery on my knee. Could it be the 5 years of walking and 10 years of yoga that I had just worn the thing out? Well bad knee or not I found myself moving the couch by myself 4 days after surgery. I just saw that it had to move and girlfriend it was going down! Something I recently learned about myself and have gotten a good chuckle out of. Determination! Yep I had it. Some prefer the word stubborn but for me it is determination. Well I had been down for days and things needed a good shift. You know how it is, you walk into a room and you just KNOW if you like it. It either feels good or it doesn't. I often call myself a visual and energy freak, this may sound like a negative term, and I probably should work on a better title for it, but come on, it is what it is.
Yes I have been moving things around my whole life, its what I do, making sure everything is in its correct spot. I was like this long before I knew or studied about feng shui. And yes I have accomplished all levels of Reiki but would hardly call myself a master. The only 2 people I have really done Reiki on is a racecardriver and his wife. She is a good customer, and while shopping said she felt yucky and if I knew anyone who could do an energy cleansing. Hmm no, not really, this was 6 years or so ago. But I do have some of my favorite oils and crystals sit down I will see what I can do. I worked on her for a few minutes. She shopped and came back telling me how much better she felt and wanted to bring her husband in. He was a professional race car driver and had been having a rough streak. He came in to the old store, sat on the girly white couch, held crystals and let me put ointments on his head, neck, chest and back. I did a little energy work on him. I laughed so hard when they left hugging him and saying "well good luck with that!" Funny thing is, he started winning. His wife laughed and said he would never admit that the energy shift changed his racing but I think that was one of his best years at Nascar.
We all need to shift up the energy! Change is good and spring definitely inspires change for me. I have recently been working on redecorating my friends house. The girl has a gorgeous home and impeccable taste but sometimes you just need a fresh eye and some good moving around with fresh paint. Sounded easy at first. Now a few months later I am finally going to finish it up. We created 3 awesome outdoor seating areas, turned her unused dining area into an office and study area for the kids. Painted the entire inside of the house and moved everything around. No more stuck Chi in my gal pals house. Now her unused giant formal living room is a sexy hang out room for adults and a great place to gather with the kids for a good old fashioned board game. We cozied up the great room and changed up the seating and tables in the kitchen. All the bedrooms are getting fresh paint with organized home work and play area for kids in the "tween stage". Out with the kid toys and in with the chalk wall to inspire fun and creativity. Also a great place to write chores or homework assignments. I will admit I had the best time spending her money to buy furniture. There are a lot of great bargains out there at consignment stores, but like anything, having a good eye, theme or color scheme is important before you go shopping. Looking forward to posting some cool pics of her cozy new sanctuary soon. What are you up to this Spring?
If you need a little help getting your home sanctuary together I am almost ready for my next home project!
Change up your chi and get your spring sprung! I would love to help you.

As you all know, I try to find affordable trends. . . but what I love most is the feel of the fabric. If it doesn't scream, "OMG I love how this thing feels" I don't usually like to buy it. Michael Lauren is one of the few brands I am still carrying while continuing to focus on the its a luv thing brand. This morning I got up early eager to go to LA to shop. I looked through my giant stack of tanks and decided I really did deserve one of these Michael Lauren tanks/mini slips. I had sold one to a woman at the farmers market paired with the black velvet heart on your sleeve. If I were just a "few" years younger you would so be watching me rock this look with some short shorts and some great boots!
Michael Lauren Tank/Mini slip 42.00 and worth every penny. Pink, chocolate, & cream. Paired with the cream black velvet heart on your sleeve thermal, instant cuteness!
