So it was brought to my attention that I should start a blog; a thing that could be a creative outlet for all the fun stuff boiling up inside of me. Problem? I like too many things!
A little about me:
I grew up in the arts. Dance and music were a huge part of my life. I was a band geek and pretty much lived in the performing arts building in high school. I played the cello in orchestra, took choir, was in the colorguard/marching band, and even took drama at one point. (I even marched drum corp when I was in college). I was exposed to the arts from all different directions. So as I became an adult, my love of the arts kept going. Some of my favorite things are movies, music, art, crafts, books...if it is created by someone, I probably love it.
A few years back I went to pastry school. It didn't pan out as a career, but it developed my love of art (drawing, painting, creating) and baking. I learned to create in many mediums taking traditional art classes along with learning pastry techniques. I also worked along side an amazing cake decorator and artist that I can only hope a small amount of her talent rubbed off on me. She is an incredible artist that has been on TV many times and even won a cake challenge. Her abilities were above anything I could even imagine and she was so nice about teaching me how to do anything I asked. Just having her there in the same room while I was creating taught me so much.
Among all of these things, I also have health issues and food allergies that have led me to a love of homeopathic and natural remedies as well as allergy free cooking and baking. I also recently became an independent consultant for Jamberry Nail Wraps. (harmonystar.jamberry.com) Beauty? Yup! That too! I know...my brain and likes are all over the place.
So, my randomness has led me here. I want to share my love and passion for all of these things (and maybe more). I will post my thoughts, reviews, projects, attempts, fails, and anything that strikes me to write about. I hope to keep the chaos as coordinated as possible.
