Today was originally reserved for some book browsing and coffee, that was until I woke up to a VERY wet morning.  Not cool, mother nature not cool. As the day went on we decided to rebel and go out despite the rain and took a >5 min drive to Target. Got myself my much needed Soy machiatto and wandered the isles. We were in the techy area when the lights get out. Complete darkness people. It was intense.   

These past few days have been cray cray. Wet/muggy/sunny/ windy only in Houston. 
This weather gave me the chance to finally clean out my hard drive and get a new ipod playlist can I get a woot? (WOOT!)  I also had the chance to finish a drawing and start on another one which I will be giving to my dad.  The one pictured below is a graphite/ charcoal drawing im think about adding watercolor what do you guys think? I’m scared I’ll mess it up by doing so, but we shall see. If anyone is interested on this piece comment and we can exchange emails. I’m starting to draw more often and most of the pieces I’ve done are just in my portfolio sitting there.

 I heard this song for the first time not to long ago and it's been playing non stop since. Its such a happy let's dance kinda song. I love it!

Fruity Summers



These Blueberry popsicles have been on my to-do list for the longest. I’ve seen them all over pintrest so I thought I’ll give them a try.  I didn't have any Popsicle sticks in hand so i tried putting in some small straws..didn't work. Nonetheless they turned out amazing, my little brother who would rather eat some Oreos loves these popsicles! Apart from being easy as pi they are very healthy and perfect for the summer heat.




Blueberry popsicles:
 (Makes two servings)

-1 c. Blueberries (frozen or fresh)
-½ c. orange juice
 -Favorite flavored yougurt
- Popsicle Sticks 
   
             *Blend Blueberries and orange juice.
           *In a cup or Popsicle tray place a layer of yogurt and drop in 4-6 blueberries make sure they are not 
          visible
             *Put in the blueberry and juice mix, and place a popsicle stick 
        *Place in freezer for 2-3 hrs or until it hardens


        *Place in freezer for 2-3 hrs or until it hardens

I also made these Fruit iced cubes and paired them up with mint Lemonade. These fruit cubes are a fun twist you can add to just about anything.  Enjoy (:
