“What do you want for Christmas?” My husband asked me one day. I told him a new book and Fantasia. He then asked me after all the gifts were unwrapped why I wanted Fantasia of all things. Well it is really simple. Let me explain.



When I was a kid one of my fondest memories was popping in the VHS of Fantasia and watching it with my grandma around Christmas time. It is a memory that has stuck with me. It is what I feel keeps me close to my grandmother. I don’t need any of things that really belonged to her to feel close, Fantasia is all I need. Yes, there are things in that movie that are by today’s standards not that great. And some controversy in some parts. But it is the memories of the movie and the feeling I get when I watch it. To me Fantasia is my ultimate Christmas movie. Even though it has nothing to do with Christmas or the Yuletide season. 




















It is something I want to have my sons love too. The appreciation for the music and composers. The appreciation for the artworks. Yeah the fairies are nudey patooty, and the centaurs or centaurettes as they were called are almost nude too. This was a different time and I am greatful some characters were cut, there was one in particular which I have found on Pinterest that I think we all can be grateful to the removal.if you are feelin froggy  and want to see what I mean click here.  There is also some scientific inaccuracies with the Rite of Spring piece that now I have trouble getting over. (My brain won’t let me, just like with Land Before Time! Stegosaurus and tyrannosaurus as well as triceratops being on the same era!no no no no!) still overall it is a great movie, and even though it was a flop in it’s initial release with the nudey things, the Rite of Spring being performed badly according to the composer, and the racist centaurette Sunflower, it was not even finished on it’s theatrical debut only finishing right before viewing, still like so many movies it became a cult classic years later. My love for the film is one that will continue for years to come.

Vegan nail polish Pacifica

Ok I think I have found another polish that stays on!This Vega and cruelty free polish is by Pacifica! Pacifica also makes other stuff like makeup , body, and hair products. I have used their makeup, eyeshadow and lip products before. I loved my palette, but my kids decided to destroy it! Anyways, how I ended up with these was when I took my oldest to Ulta with me. We went to Ulta with the intent of a new compact for me besides the shapetapeone by Tarte, because it was not that good. For me! May be fine for you. But it oxidized on my skin. Anyways, we went through the store and got to the polish. And my son picked out all these greens and blues and neon pinks in polish. But the opi and orly do not work on my nails. They peel right off. And then I saw the Pacifica, and said “let’s try these on mommy nails!” I let him pick, and he chose these beautiful colors.  JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.

The empress card

 I have been coloring my Rider Waitdeck coloring book. A lot. And if you don’t know , it is a tarot card deck. And wearing this tee I bought from Juniper Fox on instagram is an awesome tie in for this concept of tarot cards. It is a fabulous tee featuring a fabulous fox, juniper. I also had to add the crown because it requires it I think.Shooting these pictures I didn’t want any old place to shoot, and then. I found the flowers, my allergies were not thrilled but my creative mind was. The empress stands for authority and a strong female figure.I am not either of those things, by the way But there is more to the card than that. Th empress is passionate and motherly a “I am woman hear me roar!” Kind of woman. She is not mysterious or a secretive lady like the high priestess. For this card it symbolizes pleasure ,abundance , and fertility. Birth marriage and literal or creative type pregnancy.but there is also a reversed side to the card as with most tarot. The reversed view of the car is

A lot of people are lucky to have some great thrift shops near them. They find all sorts of stuff! Me? I have to shop online so I shop on the Real Real. I love them and have bought many a Herve Leger dresses from them. Gucci, Chloe, Dvf, etc. I need to wear those dresses more, they are comfy.And also Irent clothes, or did before they kept getting sent dirty and stinky! The top I have on is by Gucci and I got it onThe Real Real. Along with a Tibi skirt. And I love this top! It is one of those great scores!
