DAY 033/365

Watching Vivre sa Vie
(My Life to Live)
and taking screenshots of
moments of inspiration.

It's a french flick where a girl subjects herself to prostitution as a way to make a living. She knows the value of ones decisions and yet pursues this path.

  

Finding herself lost, she strikes up an conversation with an opinionated patron at the local cafe.  She eventually finds love but does she live happily ever after?

Hello, February

xoxo, Mari

Bisquick Bisquits

Homemade bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits.

DAY 030/365

Late Nite Trims

My husband always asks me to cut his hair right before I want to get in bed, and 

70% of the time I do it every time. lol He deserves it though <3

Wake-up Barks

It's pretty cold outside and if this cute little dog of mine didn't need to be let out, I'd gladly stay in bed.

DAY 027/365

Cinnamon tea just like mom used to make, except with maybe a pinch more sugar. Mmm.

Here Kitty, Kitty...

Either I'm hungover, or my cat's playing tricks on me.

I love how this came out.

Playing pool and having a few beers with an old friend in the old neighborhood.

Worry dolls I got in Mexico years ago. I might try them tonight cause I have too much on the brain.

Four Eyes

I have to get some good film so I can try out this camera with four apertures. Yes, four!

New Nook

Pulled together this reading nook.  Just repurposed a beat-up cozy, reclining 

chair with some vintage fabric and added a lamp so I can read into the night. 

DAY 021/365

Spending the day in bed working on mind puzzles and watching movies.

Window Shopper

My bright-eyed kit kat.

Welly, Welly, Well

Another lazy Sunday on the couch watching movies and having a cup of the ol' chai.

DAY 018/365

There's a Cocktail Conference in town this weekend, and so there's a bunch of beer/alcohol tastings go. I was asked to represent a local brewery and pass out some samples of their beer, for which I'd be paid. It was an offer I couldn't refuse. The brewer decided he wanted to pass our their SOUR beer, apparently sour beer among craft beers is a tricky process to master. Anyways...I felt as if I was on candid camera because everyone that tasted it hated it, just a few wanted more. It became entertaining for me to call people over and try out wonderful beer. Everyone compared it to pickle juice. Once the sour beer ran out, we poured a stout and that wasn't as fun. haha. Great experience though.

Tooty-Fruity

Homemade blueberry pancakes, with baked apple-cinnamon apples, and freshly whipped whip cream.

Such a treat, I whipped this all together in no time and it tasted perfect.

Fashion Glossary

I spent way too much time getting into this. Ha. I swear, I'll read anything.

DAY 015/365

Cruising around downtown after dinner with the familia.

Tea Time

Breaking in the cast iron kettle my sister-in-law gave us. It's super sturdy and small. 

Mom's Kitchen

My mom called me to come over cause she made menudo, extra hominy because that's all I eat.

Of course, I brought tupperware to take some home. MMm Mmm good!

DAY 012/365

Glimpses of my cozy Sunday:

Bundled up and reading, then the record shop looking to score a few gems

and an amazing Indian dinner at Simi's catching-up with a friend over some chai.

So it Goes...

Hecho-a-Mari canvas tote with Kurt Vonnegut inspired art.

bookended faces I had fun playing with different color combos. 

This is a hand-painted gift for a friend of mine, I hope she loves it!

Choco

By far the biggest slice of cake I've ever had. This pic really doesn't do it justice.

My husband brought home some roses from the front of his work.  There's even a pink bud attached.

Feliz Año Nuevo!

Ringing in another year on my rooftop.  First time in seven years one of my neighbors went blazing bullets in the air, we heard six shots with the sound of the gun cocking back between each shot. Crazy.
