<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> Hello readers! After much consideration and planning, I have deiced to <a href="http://www.hellomrrabbitblog.com/">move my blog</a> to a new platform (along with my photography portfolio). I have been using Blogger as a platform for almost two years, and I decided it was a great time for a change. You can visit my new site at the same domain, here. I have also decided to keep this page up for a little way longer, for those who wish to see my past postings and thoughts. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> I am thankful for all the memories this space has provided me, but I am ready for something new. I will also be focusing much of my time on my new magazine, Plenilune Mag, which you can find some of our social media <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PleniluneMag">here</a> and <a href="http://instagram.com/plenilunemag">here</a> (website is under construction!). This does not mean that blogging will be put on the backburner, I just will not be updating quite as frequently anymore. You can follow all of my adventures on my <a href="http://www.hellomrrabbitblog.com/">new space</a> and browse through my photography portfolio at the same time, I hope to hear from everyone their personal thoughts on these changes, and to follow along with my new projects. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> Ah, it may have took a bit longer than I excepted, but the trees are finally looking like spring has arrived. I forgot how much I love driving down Broadway and seeing all the "cotton ball" like blossoms on the trees on my way home from school, the little flowers popping up everywhere (even a small tulip plant right outside my apartment), and the green grass glowing so bright in the sunshine. This time of the year is perfect for wearing lots of color, hints the bright blue skirt I wore the other day, and still time for sweater tights (to provide a little bit of extra warmth, I'm the girl who is always cold). For some reason I also decided to support a middle part that day, which happens sometimes when your bangs are cut in a V shape and are getting rather long... possibly thinking of growing them out again. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> I also recently found a new favorite store, <a href="https://sites.google.com/a/yokistore.com/home/home"><span style="color: black;">Yoki</span></a><span style="color: #444444;">,</span> which is a Japanese-themed home decor/goods store in the Rivermarket neighborhood. I fell in love with every single item here, I could hardly walk away from anything, and I can't wait to purchase more of the cutest things I have ever seen from here. I bought a little sushi rolling kit from <span style="color: black;"><a href="https://sites.google.com/a/yokistore.com/home/home">Yoki</a> </span>the other day, and my boyfriend and I have been eating it for all of our meals. We have also been going to the local farmer's market more frequently since the weather is warmer, and nothing is better than buying fresh veggies then coming home to cook them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> I just finished up a weekend of dog sitting, which consisted of me lounging around and watching cable television (I don't have that luxury at my apartment). I am ready for a much more relaxing week than the last few have been. I recently finished up training for some volunteering I am starting, looking for a summer job, and starting on a new magazine project. I think I just simply like keeping myself busy... and that's okay. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> Although it snowed for a bit earlier today, spring has been in full-force for the last couple of weeks. Seeing blossoms bloom on all of the trees, ladies in long flowing dresses, people on the street eating ice cream, and fresh flowers all around town makes me feel so much joy for this time of the year. I read in a quote earlier today about how when you get older, you seem to become more in love with spring than fall. I believe I am becoming older, because I think spring is my new favorite season. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> This collection of photographs, to me, screams joy and happiness of a new season. I photographed these at the <a href="http://kansastravel.org/kansascitykansas/rosedalearch.htm"><span style="color: #444444;">Rosedale Arch</span></a>, with my friend Bethany as the model. The gloves are for sale in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/hellomrrabbit"><span style="color: #444444;">shop</span></a>, along with the dress that is coming soon to the shop (so sorry ladies whom have already asked me about the dress, life has been so busy lately! I will post it as soon as I get a free second). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> Disposable cameras have always been a guilty pleasure for me. I love the idea of simply carrying around a film camera with me at all times, and snapping little bits of my day that I don't pick up my phone/digital camera for. I used to use disposable cameras (well, film cameras in general) all the time back in high school, and the days before Instagram or this blog. My mom is very into photography, so I always had a digtal camera growing up, but I preferred using her old film cameras or buying disposables to develop. After I started blogging and got a DSLR, and after I caved in a joined Instagram a little over a year ago (which I a glad I did, I ended up loving it instead of the hatred I had when the app first came out), I didn't use my disposable camera as much as I used to. I decided to change that months ago, and bought a large amount of disposable cameras I found at a store on sale. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> This collection of photographs is from the first disposable I developed a couple weeks ago, which is a random assortment of past adventures varying even from seasons (as you can tell, with the snow and fall photographs). The one thing I am still doing poor at is developing the cameras in a descent amount of time, they are actually quite expensive now to get prints and the photographs onto a C.D. I have a handful of disposable cameras that I am currently using, and trying to use daily, so I am hoping to start a schedule of developing one camera a month. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> My favorite thing about these cameras, and film in general, is the fact that is it not "right here, right now". I feel like that mindset is something I need to work on for myself and understand that not everything should be so sudden or instant, and using these film cameras.... in a way, is a good break from the instant gratification the past years have thought me. I also love using film because you have no idea how it is going to come out, and how the image will actually look when it is developed. I am also re-learning making mistakes with photography and experimenting with chemical burns/lens burning. I experimented with burning sections of my disposable camera to see how the images would turn out, which ended up not going as I planned, but I couldn't remember the last time I shoot something and it DIDN'T turn out. I don't know about you, but I semi-liked the fact I came away with nothing during the shoot I experimented with. With today's photography, you always get what you want and you know the way the images will turn out.. it was insightful in a way to walk away with simply knowledge. Well, and some interesting wrapped blurry pictures. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> I was at Costco the other week with my parents, and I saw a huge box of dates that I just couldn't leave without. When it actually came down to eating the dates at home, I usually just snacked on them throughout the day, and then I decided I needed to bake something with them. Date bars have always been one of my favorite desserts, and this was my first time baking them myself. I snacked on these on my car rides to school.. because in some way they remind me of a breakfast treat. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this recipe, and think of this next time you have too many dates from a Costco trip. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> I cannot fully comprehend that spring has arrived. It seemed just like yesterday I was digging out my woolly sweaters and heavy coats for the winter season. Although I am on the verge of sadness to see winter leave, I do love the blooming of flowers and warmer breezes in the spring time. I have been trying to pull out all my pastels and floral prints for the start of the season, and I can't wait for more rainy April days that will shortly bring flowers in May. </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">I have made my seasonal to-do list here as you can see, which I am excited about checking all of these off my list by the time summer arrives.

This cemetery was founded in 1857 and many famous Kansas Cityians reside here. The mossy and unreadable (almost all) tombstones, the abundance of trees, and the old stone-enclosed tombs make this spot unmissable. I photographed my friend Laura here the other week, and I was so excited to dress her up (and I am in love with her dreadlocks, normally I am not a fan but she pulls them off so well).

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">(tights: <a href="http://www.target.com/">target</a>, everything else is thrifted or vintage)</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"> I have not took the normal route for my spring break this year. It was too chilly for my boyfriend and I's original plans to go to Eureka Springs (we would have been camping), or even to simply camp somewhere nearby. With the weather the way it always is in the midwest, I've been staying around town working setting up my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/hellomrrabbit"><span style="color: #444444;">shop</span></a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/480413292077737/"><span style="color: #444444;">charity event</span></a>. I can always seem to find things that I need to work on, and those have been keeping me quite busy while my plans fell through. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"> Earlier this week, my boyfriend and I decided to take a small day-trip into Kansas since the weather was too cold for our previous plans. We are both fans of anything "haunted" and "slightly-creepy", and that's where the idea of visiting Stull Kansas came to my mind (you can read more about it<a href="http://www.weirdus.com/states/kansas/stories/gateway_to_hell/"> <span style="color: #444444;">here</span></a> and <a href="http://www.fearnet.com/news/news-article/stull-kansas-gateway-hell"><span style="color: #444444;">here</span></a>, it's quite creepy.) My boyfriend has visited years ago with friends in the nighttime, but I opted for a daytime visit in hopes to explore and see what all the tall-tales were about. Needless to say (proof of the lack of photographs) the tales were true about the locals chasing out anyone who dared to come to their town. I was hoping to walk through the graveyard to see if I could find the rubble from the old church, or the supposed "stairway to Hell" behind it. As we arrived to Stull, parked my car in the church parking lot, walked to the abandoned fire station to take a few pictures, and then out of no where two large trucks pulled up blocking the view of the cemetery. Slightly confused, we walked back to my car and drove out of town, while the trucks followed us to the main road and then turned back around. It was a silent way of them telling us to leave. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"> I was disappointed about Stull and the lack of documenting anything really, but the "something is wrong here" feelings were all on point. The tiny, almost abandoned town, is probably the single-handedly creepiest place I've been in my life (and I love exploring places like this). If you have been thinking about visiting, I am not sure if I would suggest going. But then again, I might try and go back again one day. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"> After our short trip to Stull, we headed to Lawrence to go to a favorite <span style="color: #444444;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lawrence-Antique-Mall/93689583671">antique mall</a> </span>in the downtown area. There were so many treasures to be found, and so many things I wish I could have brought home with me. We later went to <a href="http://www.freestatebrewing.com/"><span style="color: #444444;">Free State Brewing Company</span></a>, then <a href="http://www.billyvanillycupcakes.com/index//home&"><span style="color: #444444;">Billy Vanilly Cupcakes</span></a> (where I decided to get three small cupcakes so I could try different flavors). All and all, our little day trip was a bit interesting/strange, but Lawrence is always a great town to go to escape the "big city" for awhile. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"> I am so delighted to be bringing you March's "Inspirational People" interview, because Kelly-Marie is one of my favorite bloggers/shop owners out on the internet.</span><span style="color: #444444;"> <a href="http://www.haremofpeacocks.com/"><span style="color: #444444;">A Harem of Peacocks</span></a> </span><span style="color: #666666;">is a whimsical, early 1900's-fulled inspiration space that Kelly-Marie showcases her personal style and her love for vintage treasures. I also find myself lusting over the dainty items in her </span><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/haremofpeacocks"><span style="color: #444444;">shop</span></a><span style="color: #666666;">, and find myself wishing I could play dress up in her collection. I have been a huge fan of Kelly's since I discovered her blog quite awhile ago, and have been following her adventures in London (and now the The New Forest in the United Kingdom) ever since. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"> I hope you become inspired by Kelly-Marie's interview here, and her perfectly put together outfits (just look at her head pieces, ah!). </span></div>

<b><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"> Who are some of your favorite vintage stores/vintage stylists/etch that inspire your work?<i> "</i></span></b><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"><i>I'm really inspired by the creative ways that people have been able to adapt their styling into a digital, online format. Etsy is a great source of inspiration for this and it's something that i'm constantly working on. </i></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"> When you don't have a bricks & mortar shop you have to find different ways to style your products whilst still maintaining your aesthetic and vision. Some of my favourite stylists are the ones that combine vintage props and flowers, mainly because </span><span style="color: #666666;">that's</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"> the way my work is headed.

<b><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"> What are your other creative outlets besides styling/prop making? <i>"</i></span></b><i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">I love to draw and that's something i'm trying to do more of now and I am also trying to get back to my roots of textile design and get making these headdress that I have been promising people for years! I think when you're creative your hobbies naturally become your work...not always intentionally. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">My other hobbies nearly always involve history, animals and nature. I love being outside and try to spend as much time out and about in nature as possible.I am taking up horse riding again this year and I am looking into doing some volunteering for a local animal sanctuary, animal welfare is something i'm extremely passionate about. </span></i></div>
</div>
<div>
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"> Craig and I are usually spend ours days off exploring, visiting museums, galleries and heritage sites. Most of our dates involve a museum/ National trust visit, combined with a walk and a yummy meal. We always joke that our move to the countryside was like us starting our early retirement, but really we're just culture vultures. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">I have recently become vegan which has got my absolutely loving being in the kitchen. I have always loved to cook and because i'm gluten free it makes every meal exciting and a challenge. I have started researching natural remedies and the healing properties of herbs, I have always loved the folklore of it all but want to actually start adapting it into my lifestyle. </span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"> My other big loves are magic, books and flowers. I am always inquisitive and keen to learn, and I love books as physical objects as well as the fact that they are filled with endless inspiration and learning opportunities. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">My Mum used to be a florist and I seem to have inherited her love for flowers and plants. I love anything to do with flowers and especially floral styling, she is slowly teaching me her tricks of the trade. This actually perfectly leads us on to your next question." </span></i></div>

<b><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"> I saw that you work for a Court, with their historical homes/gardens, tell us more about your job and what you love about it. <i>"</i></span></b><i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">Yes I work at a place called Deans Court in Wimborne, Dorset. It is a Historic estate which has been owned by the same family for over 500 years. It's currently the home of Sir William and Lady Ali Hanham who are the lovely people I work for. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">I help run Ali's 'general store & Cafe' which is housed in the estates amazing 1930's Squash Court. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">We sell a quirky mix of Vintage, antiques and carefully selected contemporary lifestyle products. We also sell fresh, organic produce and cut flowers from the Deans Court estate. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">Every summer the grounds are host to weddings, antique fairs and courses and they have holiday cottages too. </span></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"> I help with all kind of jobs around the shop & estate but my main responsibilities are the social media, updating the shop website, running the shop and helping with the wedding tours. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">This year I am so excited to start doing the flowers for the weddings and in 2015 we are launching flowers and styling packages. All of the cut flowers are seasonal and the weddings are very much centred around the 'romantic country' aesthetic of the grounds. It's aesthetically and professionally a dream come true for me! </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"> What I love most about my job is the surroundings, and what Deans Court stands for. I am constantly surrounded by so much beauty and heritage and the Deans Court ethos is very much about sustainability and making use of what the estate has to offer. It's a very special place and I feel so lucky to have found a job down here in the countryside that fits me so well. Especially now that I have a creative outlet with the weddings too.</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">It is worlds away from what I was doing in London but I have grown so much as a person and am constantly learning. I feel like my life skills have doubled in size since I started a year ago."</span></i></div>

<b><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"> How did you develop yourself as a freelance vintage buyer? <i>"</i></span></b><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"><i>I have collected vintage myself for years and when I graduated from university I got offered a job at Beyond Retro, the UK's leading vintage retailer. I worked first as a buyer and then went on into my role as window dresser and Prop co ordinator. </i></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"> When I was working in the buying department I learnt so much about fashion history, and sourcing. They sent me on buying trips to India and Germany and we had to train the vintage pickers on what to look out for. So in terms of clothes most of my knowledge came from the Five years I spent at BR but all my furniture, prop and interiors knowledge is self taught. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">Since then a lot of the opportunities I have got in terms of buying have been through contacts I have made through work and the following I have on my blog, people just getting to know me and what I do."</span></i></div>

What have been your accomplishments and challenges? <i>"</i></span></b><i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">I started the shop a few years a go now, but originally only as an outlet to sell off parts of my vintage collection. It has been on and off a place for me to 'rotate' my collection of vintage finds. I am so terrible because I love it all, and I unfortunately love to keep everything (hoarder alert), I have had to get really strict with myself. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">So I guess my biggest accomplishment for my shop has been the amazing following It has created without me actually giving it 100% of my time. </span></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"> This year I have decided to fully commit myself to the 'A Harem Of Peacocks Shop' and will be aiming to make it work as a proper business. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">I'm also planning to set up a 'prop hire' part to the website so definitely watch this space. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">So I guess in answer to your question, the biggest challenge has been time management.Juggling the shop, my blog and my work have been the biggest challenge but I feel like I have a good balance now."</span></i></div>

I feel as though I could spend an hour just walking around each room and admiring the many pieces carefully placed in their collections. I was invited to attend the first Kansas City Blogger Brunch, which is how I discovered </span><a href="http://vivilore.com/"><span style="color: #444444;">Vivilore</span></a><span style="color: #666666;">. The brunch was hosted by </span><a href="https://www.hellocheeseburger.com/"><span style="color: #444444;">Hello Cheeseburger</span></a><span style="color: #666666;">, </span><a href="http://www.theadoredlife.com/"><span style="color: #444444;">The Adored Life</span></a><span style="color: #666666;">, and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/"><span id="goog_689109651"></span>Tulip<span id="goog_689109652"></span></a> (along with various other sponsors). The brunch was fantastic, their decorating/seating arrangement of the upstairs area was the cutest, and I loved the handful of mimosas I drank as well. I can’t wait to bring some friends to Vivilore’s back patio during the warmer months. </span></span></span></div>

I couldn’t resist this print, so after she gave it to me I shortened the length and have been wearing it with a belt ever since. Although spring is officially here for the year, it still snowed yesterday in Kansas City.. so I’m still dressing like it’s winter, with thigh high sweater socks, capes, and dark shades. And that’s honestly perfect, because this chilly weather can stay awhile longer. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> I had never attended <a href="http://www.kcfashionweek.com/"><span style="color: #444444;">Kansas City Fashion Week</span></a> before, until this year when I was invited to.. which I can say I wish I had gone in during the past years. The two-day event was held at Union Station, which I post about occasionally here, and that location was a perfect choice. The lighting during the afternoon shows was amazing, but I could tell I was finding myself getting too drawn to the designs to focus on photographing the pieces. If you follow me on Instagram, you would have seen a few runway pictures and snapshots of my outfit from Kansas City Fashion week, which my phone was honestly my choice of camera besides when I was seated. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> Besides the runway shows themselves, I was allowed backstage to see the make-up artists prepping the models and all the other before-the-show features. <a href="http://www.ulta.com/"><span style="color: #444444;">Ulta Beauty</span></a> was one of the main sponsors for <a href="http://www.kcfashionweek.com/"><span style="color: #444444;">Kansas City Fashion Week</span></a> this year, and they gave out the most wonderful gift bags backstage. I adored admiring the pieces on their own, before they were worn on the runway. We were also served some of the most delicious whiskey cocktails from the <a href="http://kansascleandistilled.com/eng.html"><span style="color: #444444;">Kansas Clean Distilled Whiskey</span></a>. I am so glad that I attended KCFW this season, and that we have such a wonderful and inspiring event in my hometown. Huge props for the event coordinators and designers, I was most defiantly inspired to start making a few pieces of my own again and met many inspirational people throughout the weekend. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> I'm very pleased to bring you Niki Rosario for March's "Inspirational Abode" feature. When Niki contacted me, she stated "I like to keep the girly-ness to a minimum, but there still seems to be sparkles and vintage treasures everywhere...", that is when I knew I'd love to feature her home. Niki is a <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/firstladiesvintage"><span style="color: #444444;">shop owner</span></a>, who sells an array of vintage lovelies (many pastels from what I saw so far) and lives with her boyfriend in Chicago. I hope you gather inspirational from the details of her abode, as I did, and enjoy! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"> The season of spring is upon us, the afternoons are becoming full of warmth of again and the evenings are still full of a slight chill. Although I have said many times how winter is my favorite season of the year, I am actually more than ready for the flowers to bloom again. I have been trying to gather seasonal inspiration lately to prepare myself for the change of the weather, which is how I decided on how to style this shoot I conducted here. This vintage flower print dress, paired with a diy yarn pom pom headband, was the perfect attire for the "still-wintery" outside scenery. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"> We explored around <a href="http://www.cavespring.org/"><span style="color: black;">Cave Spring</span></a>, a historical nature site/trail, which was by far one of the neatest places I've wandered through in the last couple of months. There is a small cave, which was far too tiny to slip past anything besides the small entrance. If you are a local, I'd highly recommend heading there. It was also my first time experimenting with smoke bombs while photographing, which will probably not be the last time. <i><b>You can find more of my previous shoots on my <a href="http://lindseylouise.4ormat.com/"><span style="color: black;">photography website</span></a></b></i>. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> I have a huge love and </span>appreciation<span style="font-family: inherit;"> for </span>Catholic<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span>cathedrals<span style="font-family: inherit;"> and churches. All of the stained glass, the giant organs, the gothic structure of the pillars, the light reflections, the </span>sculptures<span style="font-family: inherit;">... I could go on and on. There is well-known </span>Catholic<span style="font-family: inherit;"> church, <a href="http://www.redemptoristkc.org/">Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish</a>, a walk away from my apartment that I had never ventured to. After grabbing daytime bloody mary's at a local bar, and instead of going </span>antiquing<span style="font-family: inherit;">, my boyfriend and I decided to travel up to the church. The inside was even more beautiful than the outer views, with the light perfectly reflecting from the stained glass onto the white walls and a </span>choir<span style="font-family: inherit;"> practicing that could be heard. I am not a </span>religious<span style="font-family: inherit;"> person by any means, but I was completely</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> overwhelmed by the beauty of the </span>atmosphere<span style="font-family: inherit;"> I was in.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">The weather is getting warmer in Kansas City, which I have mixed feelings about (I love the winter time, and dread the summer heat), but I have yet to create my first iced latte of the season. I have been drinking and purchasing a lot of tea these past couple of weeks, possibly even more than I have been drinking coffee. I have also been finding myself getting extremely bored with my current hair style (in the process of growing it out, still) and thought about bleaching it until it becomes almost white... then decided not to, and to simply change up my bangs. I tried to cut them into a V shape, which sort of failed, but bangs tend to grow pretty quickly right?! Until next time. </span>Lindsey Louise Baleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16158525871866334891noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8672950745321582244.post-69154017936283385392014-03-07T13:39:00.003-09:002014-03-07T13:39:58.616-09:00made at home: lavender lemon mini-doughnuts<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> How can you go wrong with lavender? I mean, if someone baked me something with lavender, chances are I would fall in love with it. </span>Usually<span style="font-family: inherit;">, I use lavender for simple </span>syrups<span style="font-family: inherit;"> to use in lattes or </span>lemonade<span style="font-family: inherit;">, but I decided to bake a few treats with some of the bag I bought earlier in the week. Lemon is also a perfect pair for lavender, which makes these doughnuts have such a wonderful taste... and bring a little spring time to these winter days. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Hello readers! I am very excited to be hosting a giveaway, because I haven't in over a year on this space, and I couldn't be happier with the items we have in store for you. I have teamed up with one of my favorite people to photograph, a friend I have had forever, and a new shop owner (<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/xwanderlust">Wanderlust Shop</a>) to bring you a little giveaway in honor of a great opening of both of our new shops. As you might now, I have opened a new online shop, where I will be selling professional prints of my personal photography collections, and later be adding more items. The winner will be receiving a set of six professional metallic prints (signed by both Courtnie and I, and numbered) and a Blue Gold Stone Necklace from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/xwanderlust">Wanderlust Shop</a>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> The rules are simply as follows below, and the giveaway is open internationally. The giveaway will be closing next Tuesday, the 11th. Good luck, and thank you for entering/supporting us!</span> You can also purchase other necklaces and crystal treasures from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/xwanderlust">Courtnie's Shop</a>, and find more of my prints for sale in my <a href="http://hellomrrabbit.storenvy.com/">shop</a>. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"> Exploring the City Workhouse Castle (also known as the Vine Castle, and various other nicknames), is something I do every couple of years. I had ever been in the snow, or winter for that fact even, and when I gathered the idea to do a small photo-shoot there I decided to venture back. This is probably one of the most commonly known places to go urban exploring in Kansas City, but still an interesting and eerie place that is one of the "safer" places to wander around. I had some free time a couple afternoons ago and decided to shoot a few photographs here, and thankfully my imagination didn't get the best of me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> The castle was built in 1897, and </span>originally<span style="font-family: inherit;"> was used a prison for a period of time. It became abandoned in the 1970's, and still to this day. There is another abandoned workhouse right across the street, but the castle is still the most interesting of all. If you are a local and haven't explored here, or simply someone who likes castles, I would suggest a trip here (during the daytime of course!). This collection was inspired </span>completely<span style="font-family: inherit;"> by the eerie surroundings, a movie about exorcisms I watched the evening before, and a few winter wardrobe pieces. Find more of my photo-shoots on my photography website, </span><a href="http://lindseylouise.4ormat.com/" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">. (A few of these prints will be for sale soon in my <a href="http://hellomrrabbit.storenvy.com/"><span style="color: black;">print shop</span></a>, as well.) </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"> Although nothing compares to the cemeteries in New Orleans, there is something special about exploring historical cemeteries. There are two more historical graveyards close to me, which <a href="http://elmwoodcem-kc.org/">Elmwood Cemtery</a> is one of them. I had been longing to walk around the grounds since I drove past it a couple months ago, this past week I finally got my chance to roam around. Many famous Kansas Cityians are buried here, so it was neat finding the grave-sites and seeing which names I could remember from a history lesson. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"> While I was out in the area, I found an amazing estate/store closing sale, which I bought a bag full of lovely items for almost nothing. I think I'm too good at finding amazing sales, because my apartment is becoming quite full of miscellaneous treasures. On another note, I went to <a href="http://phoenixherb.com/about-us/">Phoenix Herb</a> for the first time in a long time the other day. I forgot how much I adore that store and I proceeded to purchase rose petals (for bath soaks and baking), lavender (for, well many things), and some of their house tea blend. I believe I will be spending much more time there in the future. </span>Lindsey Louise Baleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16158525871866334891noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8672950745321582244.post-84447917836460212172014-02-26T19:18:00.002-09:002014-02-26T19:18:51.346-09:00made at home: ginger blood orange tea <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i> Cut and peel the ginger root, and then place into the pot water. Bring the water and ginger root to a boil, let boil for about five minutes, then bring to a shimmer for another 10-20 minutes (the longer the ginger root is shimmering, the stronger the tea will be). After the shimmering time is up, pull the liquid mixture off the hot stove-top into a non-heated surface. Mix in the juice from two blood oranges, honey, and cayenne pepper. Serve warm, with a slice of blood orange. (The tea may also be diluted with water if a weaker ginger taste is desired.) </i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"> I have had an off-and-on cold for about three weeks now. The winter time always brings this upon me, and it usually goes and comes the same way each year. During these times of the year when I have a cold, I usually stray from any sort of medication... I stick to more natural ways to heal myself. Drinking ginger tea is one of those options I had starting using last year. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"> I used to make my ginger tea with lemons, sometimes with just ginger and honey, but I decided to try something else this year... with my favorite fruit, a blood orange. This tea is bitter, in-your-face-ginger, and so soothing to a shore thoart. The blood orange juice makes the tea more fruity, and produces the prettiest color in the tea. If you are experiencing an ongoing cold this winter, I would highly suggest boiling some ginger yourself. Enjoy. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> One's beauty/skin care routine is very personal. Not personal in a way that it is private, but personal in a way that not many see inside of all of those products/recipes they use daily. I share make-up and diy skin care secrets with my friends, talk about what color of lipstick we are lusting over this season, and what kind of perfume is their go-to scent.. but I don't actually know any of their beauty/skin care routines and all the products being involve in that. But the thing is, I love learning what other's use in their beauty routines, which is one of the reasons why I am sharing mine here. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> I have had a handle of people, over the past few months, ask me to share my diy beauty secrets and my make-up products. I was a little hesitant to share this post, because not all of my products are completely natural/diy and most of which are purchased from a drug store, but I decided to share this with those who are also college students/budget-grounded as I am. Much of my skin care products are items you would find right in your kitchen, which is mostly for the reason of using more natural products, but also because.. well, it's completely in my price range. Being a student means you are always on a budget, so I have been working with what is given to me. And honestly, most of it seems to work better than the brands I used when I was younger. </span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">a. Coffee Beans: I use the beans that I grind in the morning for my coffee for a body scrub when I shower in the mornings. Simply take the grinds out of your french press or coffee machine and mix with some olive oil (or use my scrub recipe here). b. Raw Sugar: I am constantly making simple scrubs with sugar, nutmeg, and oils. I use these daily when I shower or on my face. c. Honey:. I mix honey in with whatever scrub I am using for the day, I also make sure to use this in my facial scrubs to make my skin extremely smooth. d. Oats: I like to use oats for a bath soak at least a couple times a week, because they make your skin so soft and remove any itches or redness in your skin. I grind up my oats in a blender, then mix with some bath salts or tea tree oil for the soak. e. <a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/family/index.jsp;jsessionid=7vF2TDpLF9MySJyMMwGjX6qDz7X2BX2RQlJ2J2XGGmRHKQrZDDGc!-7588413?categoryId=4342149&cm_sp=FO-_-Fragrance+Studio-_-Japanese+Cherry+Blossom">Japanese Cherry Blossom Shower Gel and Lotion</a>: This is my favorite scent and has been for body washes for many years. I use this after I use a scrub, and I also use the lotion throughout the day. f.

I use a small amount of this when my hair is damp, and crunch/sculpt waves with my fingers. I also use this for any styling I do with my bangs. e. Sea Salt: I have been using sea salt in my hair to create "beach waves" since I was 17, when I read an interview with Mary-Kate Olsen about how she got her beachy hair. I simply pour some sea salt into my palm, along with a drop of coconut oil, and mess my hair around with it while it's damp. f. Coconut oil: I use coconut oil for a leave in conditioner before I shower, in which I put some on the ends of my hair for about an hour before I shower. I then use it as a conditioner after I wash my hair.</span></i></div>

I used "Nude" and I like to add a coat over my lipstick. c. Mosh Brushes: d. Elf Eye Shadows: I adore Elf products, not just for the price, but also because they are a quality product. I have many of these pallets and use them everyday. e. <a href="http://www.wnwbeauty.com/product.php?cid=15&pid=90&subid=24">MegaVolume Wet & Wild Mascara</a>: I have recently switched to this product, after finding it on sale at Walgreens, and it honestly works as well as any other drug store mascara. f. <a href="http://us.rimmellondon.com/products/face">Rimmel London Foundation and Powder</a>: This brand has wonderful pricing on their powder and their foundation (which drew me to them at first, not going to lie), but I actually really have grown fond of this brand. There foundation doesn't have that "make-up" smell to it, and their powder creates a completely matte effect on the face. g. <a href="http://www.covergirl.com/face-makeup/blush/cheekers-blush">Covergirl Blush</a>: I wear the "Rose Silk", and I have recently switched to a lighter shade from my normal darker tint. h. <a href="http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/p-14-matte-lipstick.aspx">NYX Matte Lip Color</a>: NYX is one of my favorite make-up brands, and I love using matte lipsticks. The one I use is "Nude" and works as well as Mac lipsticks, in my opinion. i. Nail Color: <a href="http://opi.com/">OPI</a> is my all time favorite brand, in which I am constantly wearing Black Onyx and A-Piers to be Tan. I also love my new <a href="http://www.essie.com/">Essie</a> Cute as a Button, and I always use a matte top coat from Salon Basics. j. <a href="https://catbirdnyc.com/shop/product.php?productid=19442">Catbird Tarot Deck Solid Perfume</a>: My boyfriend gifted me this for my birthday, and I am beyond in love with this sent. I feel like it was made for me. Also, wearing a solid perfume is probably the best way to wear a scent, in my opinion.</span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><i>a. Revlon Colorsilk in Black: I have been dying my hair black for the last couple of years (my hair is naturally a medium brown), and this has been my go-to hair coloring kit for that time. b. Vitamin B-12 and C-250: Since I do not eat meat, taking a B-12 vitamin daily is no option for me. I also take a Vitamin C everyday. c. <a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=30498416&cp=4090260.4090353.4342149">Handsanitizer, Japanese Cherry Blossom</a>: I always carry a small bottle of this with me. d. Green Tea: This is not just for drinking, but also for soaking them in your bath and placing them over your eyes (instead of a cucumber) during a facial) e. <a href="http://www.dove.us/Products/Deodorant/Solids/Dove-go-fresh-Rebalance-Deodorant.aspx">Dove ReBalance Deodorant</a>: I have tried my fair share of organic and making deodorant in the past, but my go-to has always been this scent/brand. </i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"> I wanted to share a few of my favorite photographs from a shoot I did with my Emily a week ago, for she has such an interesting and unique complexion. Her bright red hair (which most of it she cut off randomly, and has been wearing a short wig for awhile), her trademark facial expressions, and the fact she danced around on my bed during our shoot makes her such a character to have model for me. I wanted to do a Valentine's day themed shoot for the holiday, so we just kind of went with what we had in my bedroom one morning and made things happen. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"> This shoot was mainly inspired by the day of love, along with Peggy Lee that was playing on Pandora. I am not quite sure yet what I plan on doing with these photographs, but prints from this collection will be for sale in my <a href="http://hellomrrabbit.bigcartel.com/">shop</a> (which is about to open!) in the upcoming days. You can see a few more of these photographs from this shoot and more of my personal collections on my <a href="http://lindseylouise.4ormat.com/">photography portfolio</a>. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> I believe that the <a href="http://nelson-atkins.org/">Nelson Aktin's Museum of Art</a> is by far one the best places in Kansas City. I go here often, not just because it is five minutes away from my apartment or that the admission is free of charge, but because the museum has such a vast collection of art there is a piece for every mood. Usually though, I am feeling early American or European, the occasional modern art mood as well. I stopped here with a friend on Saturday, and mainly stuck to my favorites. Also, the courtyard dining area is by far my new favorite view. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> I decided to bring my giant mink fur (I believe mink?) coat out for this day, because the rest of the week is looking to be in the high 40's/50's... I guess Spring is arriving sooner than I had hoped. I also found this pair of low-top Doc Marten's at my favorite thrift store outlet for only a dollar, so I have been wearing them around in the snow this past week. Also this past week was my birthday, for which my mom baked me the richest cupcakes in the world full of cookie dough. They are so filling that I can hardly eat a whole one in one sitting... although I did have two yesterday, but I'm not counting. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"> A huge happy Valentine's Day to everyone reading this, and I hope you day/evening was surrounded by a loved one(s). This holiday has always been one of my favorites; from the tradition of picking a Valentine, to seeing everyone in line at floral shops picking up flowers. I like to theme my outfits with holidays, so Valentine's Day is one of my favorites to do so. I picked out pinks from my closet (including a nightgown and one of my favorite pairs of tights), and paired them with a pink-flowered headband. Yes, people did in fact ask me if I dressed specifically for the holiday... and I loved it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"> For my Valentine's Day, I went to school as usual during the day, but in the evening my boyfriend surprised me with a night of bowling and arcade games. We had planned on seeing a few bands at a holiday show, but I loved the spontaneous idea. He picked me up a dozen white roses, a bottle of blush champagne (which I mostly drank all to myself.. opps!), three of my favorite movies, and some nude matte lipstick. For him, I tracked down a collection of three short stories by one of his favorite authors, double chocolate stout, and white chocolates. Little gifts for little holidays are my favorites. </span></div>

She offers a large </span></span><span style="line-height: 20.790000915527344px;">variety</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 20.790000915527344px;"> of facials and services to meet any person's </span></span><span style="line-height: 20.790000915527344px;">individual</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 20.790000915527344px;"> needs, </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 20.790000915527344px;"> I was so happy when Caprice contacted me about booking a facial with her. I have </span></span><span style="line-height: 20.790000915527344px;">received</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 20.790000915527344px;"> one from her in the past, but this is the first I have </span></span><span style="line-height: 20.790000915527344px;">received</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 20.790000915527344px;"> from her in her personal space of booking and through her own business. Caprice offers services from her Midtown apartment, where the majority of her space seems to be </span></span><span style="line-height: 20.790000915527344px;">dedicated</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 20.790000915527344px;"> to her craft. She also runs a blog, </span></span><a href="http://flowsfree.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;">Flows Free</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 20.790000915527344px;">, where she posts recipes/offers and gives background to her studies.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"> For my facial, Caprice used an </span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">exfoliator</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"> and a facial mask, along with cleaning and moisturizing the skin. Caprice often creates her own products from </span></span><span style="line-height: 14px;">natural</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">/organic materials, along with using a local company (also her place of work) called Skin. The exfoliator is Skin's Fruity Face Cleansing Scrub, that is made with </span></span><span style="line-height: 14px;">plum</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"> kernel oil and </span></span><span style="line-height: 14px;">apricot</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"> kernel for a gentle exfoliation. The facial scrub was made by an </span></span><span style="line-height: 14px;">independent</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"> organic beauty creator, </span></span></span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/EarthwiseNaturals?ref=l2-shopheader-name" style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 14px;">Earth Wise Naturals</a><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">, made from rose petals and milk. Rose petals are calming, soothing, and naturally fragrant. The facial ended with a deep </span></span><span style="line-height: 14px;">moisturizer</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"> from Skin, and my face has ever felt more refreshed.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small; text-align: justify;"> Today marks the date that I was born 22 years ago. I was born early in the morning, so technically I've been 22 for many hours now, but I don't believe it's fully set in yet. Why you may ask? 22 is the first real "adult age marker" (in my eyes).. I'm not a teenager, I'm old enough to purchase alcohol, the only thing I can't really do is rent a car (which I suppose 25 could be a year marker for that purpose). This year marks a year that people will expect more of me, I will expect more of myself, and I believe I'll start feeling better about that. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"> Although taking on new roles throughout this upcoming year, whichever they may be, I found myself looking back on my 21st year today. I received a text from my mom this morning that said "You should be proud... you have a lot going for a 22 year old", and it made me sit and think of all the things I have accomplished in my past year. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><i>I. I have pushed through more college classes than some take two years, transferred to the university I had longed to go to, officially changed my major (for the last time, hopefully), and maintained a grade point average I am proud of.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><i>II. I have collaborated with more local businesses/artists than I had ever dreamed of doing this year. I hosted my first ever event, a pop-up shop, and began developing to co-host a charity event in early April. I was featured on a local news channel, twice, and shared a few projects of mine on air. I was also interviewed in my favorite local magazine. The opportunities I have had in my city this year have been so beneficial for me to be where I am today.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><i>III. I opened and closed personal businesses this year. I started to re-brand my vintage clothing store, made it a little success for awhile and shopped for a few people locally, then decided to close it down to focus on other projects. I also started collecting rare and used books, which I sold either through my shop or on ebay. I also decided to start taking my photography/styling more seriously, and created a portfolio website to display my work. I am currently in the process of developing a shop to sell prints/postcards and working with local models to create beautiful pieces. </i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"> And honestly, that's not even half of what I believe I've accomplished during my time of being 21, but other's are more personal. I urge everyone to list out these accomplishments on their birthdays, and share them with other's surrounding them. If there is one thing I've learned this year past year, it's to not be afraid to share what you're proud of and great accomplishments made by YOU. They make you who you are and inspire those around you as well. With that being said, also ask about other's accomplishments as well, and encourage them to continue with their progress.<i><b>What have you accomplished this past year?</b></i></span><i><b> </b></i></div>
