NATURALLY ZEE - Fitness & Natl Hair Journey

Even though I love my STATEMENT NECKLACEs, it's hard for me to carry off wearing with my dressing style. I am pretty casual; usually jeans, boots or tennis shoes and t-shirt. But I have given myself the challenge to rock MY PEACE of jewelry. How can I ask others to wear MY PEACE of jewelry, when I won't wear it myself. A statement necklace can be paired with casual attire, such as I did here. Camo Jacket - thrifted 3/4 sleeve t-shirt - Urban Outfitters elastic waist flare denim jeans - Urban Outfitters Chuck Taylor tennis shoes - thrifted MY PEACE statement Believe it or not I wore this to work. On my lunch break, I took some photos of MY PEACE of jewelry. Mainly charm necklaces, which I have a few posted on Etsy and cuffs too. Cuffs on Etsy Handmade Jewelry

My mini - WO-MANNEQUIN. I just sold this one a few weeks ago on Etsy. The mini is really nice to feature a necklace, such as these lovelies made by me. mini-WO-MANNEQUIN featured above was the only one I made so far. I am in the process of making another one right now. Even though I liked this one, there was one thing that bothered me. It not having a neck. What little neck it does have, is just not enough for my taste. So this next one I am making now will have a long neck. When it comes to making a Mannequin, you don't have to follow the form to the tee. Be creative! Add to or subtract from the piece based on what you desire. The neck here is a little too long, but I am in the process of making it, so I will chop off some of the neck. Sounds so gruesome. Final photos of mini- WO-MANNEQUIN will be posted soon. WO-MANNEQUINs on Etsy

Last week, I was able to see MY FAVORITE , FAVORITE singer in the whole wide world. Her name is Alice Russell . She's from England. She sounds better than Amy Winehouse. Yep! I said it. She sounds better! She played at The Exchange in Downtown Los Angeles. Nestled in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles on Spring Street is Exchange LA. Clubbing, going out, dancing your ass off or just taking in a performance this is a beautiful  place to do it; in a beautiful art deco historic building. Built in 1929 and designed by architect Samuel E. Lunden , ground was broken on creating this wonderful building three days before Black Thursday when the stock market crashed, October 21st of 1929. The building was home to the Los Angeles Stock Exchange . It was considered the "Wall Street of the West. Final trading took place until 1986. And since that time, the building had remained largely unoccupied. Exchange LA opened in 2009. The place is...

The weather in "sunny" southern California has been kind of all over the place. This weekend it rained and was very cold. But last week, it WAS sunny and I wore the following outfit with MY PEACE of jewelry . Tunic top - friend gave to me because she couldn't fit anymore pants - BDG ankle length, Urban Outfitters  ankle strapped flats - DSW Necklace - MY PEACE of jewelry Tunic tops are really versatile.

Plain and simple, it makes me feel good to give. Sure I want to sell MY PEACEs, but I also want to give MY PEACEs. Especially my CUFFS because, the phrases on the CUFFS express what most people need to remind themselves. You are not alone in how you feel or what you feel. Knowing you are not alone, makes it easier to practice being kind to yourself and others. Here is my way pay it forward. I am giving away this self handmade cuff with the phrase practice faith What inspired me to stamp "practice faith" on the cuff was the need to remind myself, I must have faith in myself in order to do well in life, be confident and take risks. To make this fun and get to know a little bit about who is entering this raffle: Answer the questions below (cut and paste the questions in the Comment section and answer) and Tell me what it means to you to "practice faith"  I will write each participant's name on scraps of paper and randomly pull the winner's name. The dead...
