Fill in the Blank Friday

While checking blogs this morning, I found this fun little blog and decided to play along. Enjoy...

Give this blog some love the little things we do

1. If I didn't have to work anymore I would open my own Bed and Breakfast and make art all day long.

2. My favorite thing about a vacation is seeing new things, making new adventures to fill up the chapters in my book of life.

3. When packing for a trip I try every single thing in my closet on. Then I lay out all of my favorite outfits on the floor. I am a flat packer so i can get sooo much stuff in my luggage. I am the best packer ever.

4. If I could go on a road trip with anyone (dead OR alive) I would choose My cousins, a little caravan action from DC to NC, because, They are awesome. Our family did that every year and it was always really fun. We would use our CB radio and come up with ridiculous names. Memories and we would go from Virginia to Emeral Isle North Caroline. I really hope that my kids get to experience it one day .

5. My top 3 absolute travel essentials are 1) IPOD, 2) My skin care regimin, 3) my Chi, just in case my hair goes wonky.

6. Vacations are something I look forward to and then they go by too fast .

7. On vacation you must always enjoy the people you are with, and eat everything in site!

What is your perfect vacation? Beach, cruise, Europe??

I am off to dream of my next dream vacay.

Emeral Isle, NC... my favorite place in the world.

When I was a kid this place was like a castle. There were bunk beds and it was amazing.

Hangin' with my Homies

Is that how you spell "homies"? I am not sure, is it even a proper word? Anywho, so every now and then, I talk Starry Eyed Charlie into doing photoshoots like when we were kids. It is really wonderful to be the one in front of the camera instead of behind the lens and Starry Eyed Charlie might be the only person in the world that I let shoot me. You know, our mothers did the exact same thing at our age. There are stacks and stacks of beautiful images of our mothers at our age. When I was young, I would look at my mothers pictures and I would dream of the day I was her age and be an adult, in love, seeing the world and being beautiful. Now the day is here, I am keeping that promise to myself, so one day my little one will have a pile of pictures of her mother and dream of the day she too would be this wonderful age.







So please enjoy. Thank you to my creative-partner-in-crime Starry Eyed Charlie. Read her blog, now!

Lovin' my lovely earrings

I really want to thank Dinosaur Toes for my lovely, beautiful, unique earrings. I have been wearing them everyday and get compliments every time I rock them! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Also, the blog is getting a new look. Fall is here and it needs a little love and tender care. So let me know what you think.

Have a wonderful night.

Musical Sunday Funday

I have been on a musical expedition as of late, scouring the internet airwaves, the awesome secret music blogs that I keep like a beautiful treasure chest and exchanging cd's with my sista-from-anotha-mista, Starry Eyed Charlie. I need the perfect playlist immediately. So I am throwing this question into the universe in hopes of getting responses, what is your favorite song? What song can you play over and over and over again, and feel it give your soul a little hug?

Cleaning out Kissmekoko's Closet

My new couch arrived. It is the prettiest couch ever! My husband has a very strong opinion that it is the ugliest couch ever, but he does not see beauty in things that have age and have many stories behind them. I love it, don't you agree???

It needs a little love and a little cleaning, but it will be perfection when I am done.

Which brings me to my newest change in lifestyle. I am going to give Matt all my credit cards today. I was going through my closet and crafts and realized... I AM HOARDING!!!! My room is jam packed with tons of awesomeness, but I keep buying and buying new projects and never finishing old projects! Anyone who knows me, knows that hoarding is a family tendency, so I have to be uber-careful to not let thoses way sneak into my lifestyle. So, as of today, I am broke as a joke, unless I clean house. Starting this week, every Sunday is "Cleaning house at Kissmekoko." I can't wait to find new homes for some of these amazing items.

Hey, if you are reading me, but having added me, please do!! Also, comments are like little rays of sunshine to my pretty little eyes.. so leave one too!!

Re-Design a la Kiss Me Koko

Oh my!!! I feel like it has been ages since I last wrote on Kissmekoko. So many new things have been happening in my world and I have not been so good to my wonderful blog. I got a new job! I am running a cosmetics boutique and get to meet all kinds of amazing people everyday! I have been crazy in love with Matty and trying to spend time with him, but sometimes there are not enough hours in the day. And my sista-from-another-mista and I have made it a mission to find every single amazing thrift store there is in fine Vegas. We have been coming up with the most unbelievable finds!

My new Polish slippers.. they are hand stiched!!

New little paintings and plates

My new little hobby, collecting bird houses

Vintage piggy bank

Russian strawberry doll and vintage vase

A beautiful hand painted Virgin Mary

Handcut rooster in a vintage velvet frame

My new favorite thing in the world is.... my new eyelashes!!! Hello, I think this is the way that I was always suppose to look.


My second favorite thing in the world is... NPR Tiny Desk Concerts on NPR. They have the most fantasic people come in and play little sets of amazing songs. Please please please check it out


Oh don't hate, but I am going to see them on the 2nd... yes.

Ok, I think I am officially making this post too long... so I will get ready for work.

peace.love.mimi.

Back in USA

Oh my, I am finally back from our trip to Poland and Germany. I had the loveliest of lovely times. Poland was a page taken from a Brothers Grimm tale. BEAUTIFUL! I would like to share some stories in the next couple of weeks along with some images I took. So I hope I don't bore you. Also, I will be starting back up on my normal blogging. I have found some amazing little treasures, that I can't wait to brag about! Ok, so for today, I leave you with some images from my trip.
