To Do

So, I have been uber-busy lately at work. Really no time at all to do anything else. It has always been a challenge in life for me to balance things. I get tired very easily, so if I have a busy day at work, then I come home and sleep. See, it is very hard for me to have a normal balanced life. I see people who have a job or jobs, then they take care of their kids, make dinner (and dessert), clean, craft, blog, etc., etc. Me, nope, can't do it. So as I was pondering this idea, I decided I was going to add "Multi-tasking, but making sure I finish the tasks" to my TO DO IN LIFE. Then of course it led to the question: What else do I need to do in life? So I would like to share some of the ones I was thinking about this morning.

1. Learn to Multi-task/ Make sure I finish the produces
2. Shoot more images
3. Get back into painting
4. Learn to cook/ Put recipes in my recipe book that are legit
5. Learn to make tiramisu for Matt
6. Finish all sewing projects before starting a new one
7. Blog more
8. Read more
9. Keep myself more organized
10. Keep in contact more with my friends and family
11. Stop spending so much time on facebook. It is a life suck.
12. Meet creative souls and share ideas
13. Hang with Carla and my kiddies more
**14. Get back into working out. Go for a hike. Take the dogs for longer walks.

** Most important To Do on my list.

I will add more to this list as I think of them. Or if you see one that I am missing, send me a comment.

Guilt

I feel so guilty that I have left my poor little blog shivering alone in the night. I love you little blog, and all the little readers you have. Know that I am very very very busy, as of late and I will come back to you soon. Until then, please don't be mad. I have lots and lots of DIY's coming, new spring fashion and of course MUSIC! Will be back sometime this week!

MIMI'S MUST HAVES: APRIL EDITION... part1

Spring is here! My soul is so happy now. The sun is shining, I feel like dancing all the time and Matt has been smiling more! I think that the most important thing for spring, is looking fresh! So for my little makeup junkies, such as I, here is my LUST MUST LIST for April. This is part one. I will show y'all how i use them! Enjoy and let me know what you love and hate!

Noir Radical. YSL. Blackest of black glossy mascara.

This MUST be mentioned again because it works like a miracle! GET IT NOW!

Girl about Town. MAC. Fushia is the new Red. Must have for spring.

This color makes my little finger so happy. Hard to find and pricey at 18 a pop. But worth every penny.

Ok little bunnies. Stay tuned for part two. Plus a little fun contest!

peace.love.mimi.

Oliver Mother F'in Peoples

I can't describe how much I love Oliver Peoples' ads. He and his director are brilliant!


In this first video, every shot is like a beautiful photograph. I dream to make images like this one day.



This one stars Zooey. She is perfection and so is musician Matt Costa. Enjoy!



Both of these videos make my soul so happy and giddy.

Three down, Seven more to go

Hello Lovelies,

I am so excited how fast and wonderful this week has been thus far. I am working a stretch of 10 days before I head off to the windy city for 4 days, but feel like I haven't worked at all! It is such an exciting feeling to love my job, to wake up and love getting ready for it. I haven't felt this way since my 8 year stint in college. I love my job and all of the wonderful perks I get with it. I spent yesterday at school with my beautiful counterparts of the Giorgio Armani Las Vegas Make-up Artist Team. They were fun, they were full of information and really a great group of ladies. So, for being such a good group of girls, we got some goodies. I think every girl who has dry dry dry skin should know about OMC3.



So I am going to break it down. It moisturizes the driest of skins, re-plumps and most importantly helps with ANTI-AGING! I used it last night when my skin was feeling tight and felt immediate relief. This morning when I woke up, my skin looked supple. I love that word, supple. It was pretty and supple. So please please please, go to your nearest Giorgio Armani counter and get yourself a vat of this product. It is amazzzzzingggggggg.

Ok, now that I am done with my supple in a jar tangent, I will head off to enjoy the rest of my morning getting ready for the best job in the world!

Enjoy this beautiful Friday.

peace.love.mimi.
