Within the past year, my boyfriend and I decided to start trying out new activities to bide our time. One day he picked up a kendama, he'd had for a few years and started playing around a bit. Over the past year we've both picked up tons of new skills and totally immersed ourselves within the community. The kendama community is so warm, welcoming, and full of so much talent. Everyone at different levels, with strengths in various skills. Plus it's a fun workout :) if you're looking for a new hobby, give the kendama a try, i'm sure you won't regret it!

lowkey picky with music. I don’t just listen to anything—I like music that actually feels like something. This is the type of music I keep on repeat… jazz, quiet storm, slow jams, city pop, yacht rock, real R&B and hip-hop. If you’re tired of hearing the same songs everywhere, this is where I’d start.

Because I'm just a kid at heart and legos are such a good hyper fixation for stress! I recently got back into legos as a 34 year old mama and it’s been my favorite things to unwind at night. I even bought a Lego table (linked) and that’s been so helpful for the larger builds! My main tip with new Lego builders is to download the Lego builder app(apple) I’m not sure if google play has the app. It makes it so much easier for color matching and to be able to turn the picture at any angle so you don’t misplace a Lego. Make sure to KEEP all your Lego remover tools. I never thought I would use them and have needed them so many times! Have fun building ❤️

Valentine's Day Gifts to treat your loved ones and yourself

I sew, quilt, crochet, and knit. I am a maker and the right supplies make all the difference.

Everything ships fast to Kissimmee, Poinciana, and Orlando.

It all started back in May, when I turned 34. My husband purchased a mini orchid botanical Lego set… He knew not what he’d done. An innocent gift. A cutesy little activity for his hobby goblin wife. A trinket to display for her time and effort, he thought. WRONG. I am insatiable. I’m a dragon and this is my hoard. I acquired set after set after set and next thing he knew he’d purchased 20+ sets in 6 weeks- including two Bluey sets for our daughter. His bank account pleading to be bandaged before it bled dry! Alas, twas not to be. For the monster he’d unknowingly created had been unleashed upon the world. All too soon, she’d turned the child into one of her minions. It was only a matter of time before he, too, succumbed to the fever…… …To be continued…

The East Village and Lower East Side are home to some of the best Indie music clubs in New York City. From rock to dance, and pop to jazz, these unique and lively creative spaces are a fun way to find something new.

I’ve gone through so much music, and Shazammed music while in Egypt. It’s annoying as a dancer to see every single dancer dance to the same 5 songs. Granted, they’re popular for a reason, but as a lover of music, a dancer, and specially a lover of Egyptian/cultural music, I’ve taken it upon myself to go through some intense rabbit holes on Spotify to bring some not-so-oft-used music 😁

Films from across the categories that I just think are perfect, and that I've probably watched over 25 times

While you're out leaf gazing take a minute to view some autumn blooms and see what the flowers have to say. Make your decor & arrangements for fall gatherings more mindful by understanding the language of flowers! Floriography is the use of flowers to communicate messages covertly and has been a popular practice throughout the world for centuries. In Victorian times, when expressing open emotion was greatly frowned upon, floriography was introduced as a means to share true feelings. With influences from Asia and Africa Victorian flower language spread from the UK throughout Europe. The practice remains popular in certain countries to this day. This guide will explain the meanings behind popular fall blossoms so you can make extra mindful seasonal wreaths, bouquets, and floral garden additions!

Digital downloads are an easy and cost effective way to get one of a kind art printed they way you want or need it. I personally have painted items available for digital downloads and allow customers to use them for third party printing to sell on their e-commerce platforms. It is a win win for everyone since you can print the image as many times as you want and the artist get to keep their precious original copy. As an artist myself sometimes it is hard to sell a piece that you love and put so much time into.

This is all of my go-to stuff for live performance and studio recording. We're a two person band on a budget, but we like to get the good stuff where and when we can.
