Hello January! {A post of updates}
Posted on | January 15, 2012 | 17 Comments
What a blur, this new year has been! Full of the most exciting things: a trip to Boston with just T last weekend, the start of the snowboarding season, a new job that has the very best job description I could imagine, and a trip to California to see my best friend before she has her baby!
I loved reading your responses to my PART 1 post on CREATIVE PROCESS. It’s such a wild ride, to be in the thick of creating, and it made me so satisfied to read about how the process is the same across all mediums.
This week I’m resolved to write here daily. To just show up with a few photographs and some notes. I’ve been recording glimmers in my notebook lately: snippets of conversations overheard, or details observed, and I think I’ll share a few of those here too.
Coming up this week I’ll share PART 2 of the CREATIVE PROCESS, a post about that job that I so casually mentioned (though inside I’m still doing a giddy happy dance about it) and some news about this here blog. Cool news. Exciting news. Stay tuned.
* * *
What is in store for your week?
I’d love to know the following:
1. An album you’re loving listening to…
2. A magazine that strikes your fancy…
3. A cold-weather beauty secret you rely on…
4. And a fav food that is getting you through these mid January days.
xoxo!
Christina

1. Listening to my “Adele” station on Pandora
2. “The Sun” magazine is about the only thing I have time to read, but it’s enough.
3. Winter beauty tip – don’t lick your lips before stepping outside. (I always catch myself doing that for some weird reason.)
4. Avocados.
We’ve been having the mildest winter ever here in Kansas. 65 yesterday. It feels like spring, summer, fall here. No snow to speak of yet. (Yay.)
January 16th, 2012 @ 9:32 am
1. the Robert Plant/Alison Krauss album. Forget the name. Liam and I love it, his favorite is the song “Gone gone gone” and mine is “killing the blues”
2. Garden and Gun!! I don’t have either. But, it’s the best magazine I’ve ever read, quality wise, and if you’re interested in what southern culture is like, it’s where it’s at.
3. Almond Oil in the bath for my dry legs
4. Umm, it’s not really cold here today
. I had the most amazing Guacamole this week. It was regular Guacamole, with olive vinagrette (chunks of olive) in it. Who would guess…it’s awesome! Also, guac mixed with a bit of blue cheese. Also yummy.
Okay, get with dispensing the news … you’re a tease !

3: Lotion, lotion, lotion!
4: I made some breakfast cookies that were delicious, but I think my green smoothies have been great at kicking in some vitamins I feel that I’ve not been getting. And chocolate.

A JOB??? You ARE a tease!
1. I haven’t really been listening to anything, except some local Christmas music from Trailer Trash. (I know…Christmas is over…)
2. I don’t do magazines. I am too rigid, and feel like I have to read the whole thing and then they stack up. I gave up on them a while ago. I read blogs instead.
3. Aveda Hand Relief. My mom always gives it to me for Christmas, and I horde it because they it is so expensive.
4. We had Chili last night that was perfect, and I have to go with the avocados as well…I am addicted.
When is your next post? I want to know about that JOB! And that picture of Clover…SO SWEET! Did you already go to see Willow? How fun! I am so glad that you two are finding time before the big event!

1. Ray LaMontagne: God Willing & The Creek Don’t Rise
2. I don’t really read magazines — the adverts annoy me.
3. Pure, cold pressed jojoba oil as a moisturizer, I steam my face regularly, running the mountain in the wind and cold puts the most beautiful rose in my cheeks.
4. Making my way through the pickled beets I put up in the summer and fall. They’re so delicious as a side with dinner or chopped over salad.

Hello! I used to read you long ago before I got a job that meant I had to give up reading my blogs so I could use my free time to do my errands and talk to people! I’m so glad I now have the chance to get to read your blog again:)

2. I LOVE Real Simple magazine.
3. Palmer’s Cocoa Butter — I have it in a fat stick that is like a giant chapstick. Every night before bed and every day before I leave for work. Good stuff — and it smells heavenly.
