Glitter Shoes

by graceelena on January 24, 2012

 

Do you have a pair of cute flats or pumps in your closet that are just sitting there? You love them, they are comfortable but simply look too worn to wear out? Well, I have a solution for you.

Just add glitter.

Send your shoes to Katherine and she will work her magic, turning your old pair of pumps into hot glitter heels. You can choose the color and you know they’ll fit. It’s the perfect solution to re-use old shoes or to customize new ones.

I also have inside info that Katherine is working on a few pairs right now. So, those of you who don’t want to go to the post office can simply choose the ones you like and voila! glitter shoes.

If you are interested, (and honestly, who isnt’?) check out Katherine’s esty page for all the details. These shoes hold up to many nights of dancing and shenanigans. Hint: if you are going to Vegas this May for BiSC these would look great on you!

Palm Springs Wind Storm

by graceelena on January 23, 2012

A huge wind storm swept through Palm Springs on Saturday.  It knocked down trees and power lines and left patio furniture and garbage cans all over.

Sadly, it also knocked over the giant cactus in my parents front yard. They are hoping to replant. We are lucky too. Some trees fell on cars. It certainly would have been an interesting day to be home.

To all my Palm Springs friends and family,  I hope there was not much damage to your property and you are able to clean up quickly.

Let’s hope this is the last California wind storm.

At Last

January 20, 2012

There are dozens of news articles today celebrating the life of Etta James. Discussing how she grew up and rose to fame and talking about her soulful voice. There are so many things to say about her. For me though, her death is different. Etta James’ music touched me and my family in a very [...]

Bloggers in Sin City

January 20, 2012

In May I am going to Vegas. This is not something I do often, nor care to do. But in May there is a great reason, an excellent, stupendous reason. Bloggers in Sin City (BiSC). As most of you know I’ve been running this little site since April 2009. Around that same time, Nicole decided [...]

Day Zero–101 in 1001

January 19, 2012

On March 23, 2010 I signed up for the Day Zero Project. I had seen a few lists by other bloggers and felt inspired. I immediately made a list of about 50 things I wanted to do in the next two and a half years. Then–I got stuck. I slowly added more tasks and then [...]

New Years Eve

January 3, 2012

New Years Eve was a bit haphazard this year. A dear friend was able to visit and then not visit at the last minute. It was a bummer because I love her so and we’ve spent several new years together (pesky dog sitters cancelling). That left Kiley and I to create plans on our own. [...]

Happy 2012!

January 2, 2012

2011 was a year of extreme growth and learning. As of today, I have officially been studying law for an entire year! It feels incredible to look at how much I have learned. I started my fourth consecutive semester today. And, just like the three semesters before that, I started the day by running late. [...]

Blessed.

November 8, 2011

On my walk to school I checked my email and twitter on my phone. Then I looked up and saw two men walking toward me–both looking at their phones. I immediately put mine away. I walked slowly, patiently, peacefully. I felt the breeze on my face and the warmth of the sun. I heard the rhythm [...]

The Great Toilet Paper Roll Art Project

October 10, 2011

A month ago I saw a snowflake art project that is made using empty toilet paper rolls. I immediately emailed my closest friends and family asking them to save their empty rolls. I plan to fill my apartment window with snowflakes. Can you imagine walking down a city street and then looking up and seeing [...]

Soda Mexicana–Jarritos

October 4, 2011

Sometimes I forget to blog about really cool things. I tell so many people beforehand that it seems like I have blogged about it when I have not. This is one of those things. A while ago, (forget the exact date) Jarritos was kind enough to send me a case of soda. When they emailed [...]
