Sucker; a Chinese Band (plus a music video that I'm in!)

8/21/2012

Sucker Band
Sucker is a Xi'an, China based punk band. When I was in Xi'an I got to hang out with them and not only are they really talented musicians, but they are really nice, fun people! Here's me with them, and a couple other people, at the skate park where we filmed part of their music video.
Here is the music video (or mv as they call it in China) that we filmed at the skate park. The song is called Remain Pain, and it's all in Chinese, but it's a really fun song!
I am at 2:25 for just a couple seconds!
Cute Chinese Girls
Here's a mv for the song called "Through My Soul". I absolutely adore this song! I'm at 1:38 standing by the half pipe, and 2:36 in the group picture.
This is a video I took of Sucker playing at an outdoor concert in Xi'an. I think this video is so cool because I video the crowd also, and you can see the energy and spirit coming from the crowd. Everyone is just having so much fun! Including me! At this concert I crowd surfed onto the stage, then jumped back out! Sooo fun!
Here's some more pictures!

New Favorite Summer Snack; Peach Smoothies!

8/17/2012

Peach Smoothies
I loooove peaches. Especially fresh peaches. Yuuummm...! So today, I just out of nowhere, got the craving for a peach smoothie. I've never made a peach smoothie before, but it sounded delicious, and like something I NEEDED to make. So on my way home, I stopped and bought some peaches, and I present to you my (waaay too easy) recipe for a DELICIOUS peach smoothie!
Peach Smoothie Recipe
Put into your trusty blender:
-A fresh peach. Skin and all.
-Honey (you can skip this part if you want, cuz the peaches are already pretty sweet)
-Soy milk
-Ice
and
-A couple drops of flax oil (super duper health benefit right there)
Blend together and enjoy!

This makes for a perfect summer snack!


                                                       

Peace Love and Peaches

New Things I Want to do Before I Die!

8/16/2012

0 Comments

 
I just added 3 pictures of things I've crossed off my "Things I Want to do Before I Die" List. It is a life list I created, of things that I wish to accomplish before I leave this world. It is one of the best things I could have done for my life, because it gives me motivation, and lets me know what direction to move in! Here is an article I wrote on it.

So here is 3 more goals I have reached!
Picture


#10 Go to the Caribbean
I went on a cruise there in 2005, with my mom, aunts, and cousins. It was amaaazing. Here is me and my cousin Angela in the Cayman Islands, with a pirate statue! Haha

#16 Touch a Stingray
This was at the Pittsburg zoo that we went to on our camping vacation last month. The stingrays swam right up to the edge so you could touch them! I can't even describe how they feel, but it is sooo cool. These creatures are amazing, and I am so happy I got to touch one of them.

Picture



and #1 on my list! Go White Water Rafting!
This was also on our camping vacation! I'm not gonna lie, I was kinda nervous! But I ended up having an amaazing time.

Ladies Night Out Hair and Makeup

8/14/2012

Recently, me and my mother attended the Ladies Night Out Event in downtown Medina. While walking around, consuming way too much free wine and cupcakes, we discovered that The VCS Salon and Spa had a booth set up to do free hair and makeup! So following suit of my pinup obsession, I had a lovely lady by the name of Dawn do my makeup pinup style. She was sooo excited to do it, as she loves pinup style also! Here's an article on that night!

Rescuing Animals in Need

Rescuing Animals in Need
A couple weeks ago, we got a new addition to our family. A 3 year old boxer dog, that we named Rocky (after the song Rocky Raccoon. We have another boxer named Sadie, after Sexy Sadie [my family is huuuge Beatles fans haha]).
We hadn't originally planned on rescuing a dog, but my mom was given him for free. The man who owned him had had him since he was  a puppy, and his entire life was spent inside a tiny cage. When he didn't want him anymore, he gave him to his mom, and since then, Rocky had no human contact, except for when they threw him food (his cage couldnt even open. When we went to get him, they had to dig out the ground around it to open the cage). He didn't even have a name.
When we brought him home, the first thing we had to do was give him a bath. He was sooo dirty, and I had NEVER seen so many fleas! The first week at home, he was very skiddish, and scared of everything. After being around us for a couple weeks, he is getting accustomed to his new home, and his new family. He gives us kisses, and gets along with Sadie. It is still very slow going (it takes abused and neglected dogs a while before they can trust people and not be afraid), but he is doing wonderful, and we love him so much, and he is such a great addition to our family.

Rescuing Animals
So I would like to encourage you, the next time you are looking for a new pet, rescue one! Go to the pound and adopt, or just look for an animal that is in need. It is so worth it, to know that you gave a living creature a second chance at life, and I guarantee, that animal will give you a true friend, that will always be by your side.

We were very excited, because we got to set up the booth however we wanted to, and we made it very beautiful (as you can see!) :P
We call our business, "Hand Made with Love", and everything in it is hand made. I have my tye dyed clothing, hand made clothing, t-shirt pillows, and record bowls, and coasters. My sister has some of her paintings and handmade hemp jewelry. My brother's girlfriend also has hemp jewelry and paintings, and also her special 3-d art she makes all from things from nature.
