Style Alert: Galaxy Print

I am obssessed with galaxy print! And Stars! And anything having to do with the vast universe. Something about it hypnotizes me and draws me in. Maybe its that feeling of something bigger than us in this world that is beautiful and unknown. Galaxy prints were popular last year and it seems the trend is still in the running. Which knowing this makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. hehehe

You can do a google search of "galaxy inspired fashion" and you can find all sorts of things. I saved a few of my favs and wanted to share them with you.








Of course I have done a few things galaxy inspired like this makeup shoot and a custom guitar!





I am so inspired. I want to design a whole line of galaxy or something! I am even going to have my chest piece filled with galaxies and stars one of these days.

Well, I am off to attempt to start spring cleaning with the kiddos! Have a wonderful sunday and a beautiful weekend!

The Silver Lining

As an artist, makeup artist, hairstylist, you should know I love COLOR! I posted a timeline of my hair and what colors I have had last year. I have had this current style for a few months now and Im ready for a new change in my hair. I have been scoping the internet for inspiration on what I want to do. From google ro Pintrest I have found some photos I love!

So of course, I wanna share with you what inspires me. I am waiting for my kids to get ready and dressed so we can go out and I can go to the hair supply store. Matthias wants to paint pottery today, but thats a bit too expensive right now, so were gonna go to Micheals in a bit and get some fun things to paint.

I have some sketching to do later for a Vegas Theme prop I am doing. I have to figure out also what the best material will be to make it because I am thinking plywood will be too heavy. I dunno yet. But thats later, so let me share these photos and I am pretty sure you can guess what color I am leaning towards more. hahaha



I love this hair cut





Of course I am gonna put my own spin on this. I have someone that is going to do this for me (hopefully if everything works out the way its supposed to) if not, Ill prolly get too impatient and do it myself. Ill make sure to take before and after pics and share!

I am off to help the kiddos get ready and maybe we will go by the beach and get some icecream on this nice day. I hope you have a gorgeous day too!

So do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will take care of itself.
 
Though we are never promised tomorrow, and though we should always make an effort to go for our dreams and to have plans for tomorrow, we must never worry about tomorrow so much that we forget about today.

Today is the day that we can make tomorrow greater. In an effort to live the best life we can possibly live we have to put all of ourselves into every single day, and every step that we take in life so that we may be able to make the best future for ourselves.

The rest of our lives dont start tomorrow, the rest of our lives start today. The person that you are today may have come from who you were before, and the person you are today will be influential in who you are tomorrow as well. So be the best person that you can possibly be today, take risks, live courageously, work hard and love with everything inside of you.

Vday Blog Swap

I participated in a blogger swap, and I cant find the blogger or her page who actually hosted it (bummer) for Valentines Day. There were different spending amounts you could sign up for or ask for a blogger in a different country, but I wasnt picky so I signed up for the $20 spending limit.

I got a lovely package from Kelli, who is a Mary Kay rep, she isnt an active blogger but wanted to participated. So I made  a quick lil 5 min video




I got a girl in Sweden, you can check out her blog here. Although you may need to translate it to read it! I sent her package late to her only because I couldnt understand how to read her address because they use a different order over there. So I hope you enjoy!

And yes thats my son in the background watching Superman!!!

Thanks for stopping by! See you soon

Crushin on Birdman

I have been glued to my DVR watching INK MASTERS (and attempting to do some ab workout while watching), I was pleasantly surprised to see that this weeks judge was none other than Denver Nuggets Chris "Birdman" Anderson. I forgot how much I have a crush on this man. hahahaha I dont know if its the tattoos or the fact that he is a pro athlete and is super tall, or that my husband resembles him. And my husband is from Denver, the "303" which if course is tatted on the Birdman. oh I am bad.



Now, I am not really into sports, but I remember sometime last year I caught a glimpse of him playing and I was like "WHO IS THAT????" Immediate fan. He is very interesting to watch play basketball. I would def go to one of his games. hahaha


His tattoos are amazing. I love that he is not afraid of color. The vibrancy of his tattoos just make them pop off his skin. I swear, if my husband was fully tatted up like this, they would look identical...except for the fact that Birdman is sooooooo tall. My husband is 6 ft. Heheheh I love him, but I told him Birdman is sexy. hahaha Do you guys think my husband resembles?


I am a geek I know, and Im sorry you have to indulge with me on my man crush. hahahah

Just thought I would share whats been on my brain.Thanks for stopping by! See  you on the next post

 


Tattoo FEVER

My latest tattoo I got last september "Sweet Surrender" which I need to have finished


I love Tattoos. I love drawing them, looking at them, getting them and I hope to oneday to be a tattoo artist. Lately, Tattoos have been on my brain. Ive been watching INKMASTERS on tv and just been getting excited about learning how to tattoo. I dont know how to just yet. I had the chance to do a tattoo apprenticeship a year and a half ago, but I wasnt quite ready plus I needed to work first or at least have a trade (which is why I went to beauty school).

So, now that I have completed cosmetology school and have a full time job and freelancing, I am def getting focused back on Tattoos. I am sooooo itchin to get new ink too. Its been too long since last september since I got my lettering on my chest. I plan on getting more added soon once finances are a lil bit better. hahaha I only have 6 tattoos right now, but I plan on being fully sleeved and side pices and maybe some leg pieces too.

Here are my tats so far..they seem so random and I guess they are, but thats how it is.

My nautical stars symbolizes "coming home" one red and one blue for my Two children
My falling stars and "strength" tattoos
My mermaid tattoo, I want to get this one redone..covered but I want a better mermaid
Today during lunch, I went to Barnes and Nobles for a starbucks (which I had their marble mocha macchiato, which was yummy) and a bagel with cream cheese and picked up my 2 favorite tattoo magazines. I havent had a chance to read them just yet since I am catching up on Project Runway and Walking Dead episodes....hahaha but I wanted to share what I am reading to my readers!


I love this magazine. I love the way the photography is presented and their articles are well written. Just love it. I read them over and over all the time. You should pick up a copy! You wont be disappointed!

I like Rebel Ink too because they show fellow tattoo artists and I love reading how each of them started and seeing their craft. Its very inspirational.

In just a couple weeks, I will be attending my first Tattoo expo in Hampton Va. I had planned on going to one last year in Richmond, but a body painting job came up and opted to get my paint on instead. I am hoping to have fun and maybe look into buying some equipment. I cant wait to see the car show, the people and just everything!

If you are in the area, you should def come and check it out! Ill be there and of course Ill be taking pics and possibly Ill do a vlog on it! So keep your eyes open!


Thanks for stopping by! Itching for ink, Cecilia Marie

Birthdays and Showers

The past two weekends I have been busy attending birthday parties and baby showers- hence the title of this post. I havent had time to blog as much as I want to, but bare with me! I have been battling colds, sinuses and allergies, stomach bugs and migraines...which is so weird because I used to rarely ever get sick...ahhh the joys of getting older. haha

Weve gone to a bouncy house for one party then left and went to another party last week. The weather wasnt too bad although we got a lil bit of snow.

I took a quick pic while jumping and climbing in one of the humungo bounce houses
My son Matthias and the birthday boy Cole could pass as brothers, they look alike!

Arabella was running around of course!


Today, we had a baby shower to go to for a friend of mine that I attended Paul Mitchell with. I was happy to go and get out of the house and spend time with my kids and friends. I ran errands for the first half of the day, running to the post office and finally sending off my blogging swap present to a girl blogger in Sweden...its soooo late and I hope she forgives me! I sent some stuff to my grandpa in Florida too. We went to Firehouse Subs for lunch after much begging from Matti.

Matti put this hat on me right as I was snapping a picture.
I managed to clean out the car too which gets so junked up from weekly running around while the kids played nearby. I managed to take a few pics of their lil adventures.


The baby shower we attended was sooo good. The place was decorated really cute and the food was delish! I took a few photos on my other camera, but this is just a quick photo I snapped on my way out of the half eaten cake, but its so cute. I hope if I ever have any more children, I have a baby shower as beautiful as this one! Ill blog more about it and some baby and kid things I have stumbled across that I think are awesome!


Isnt this just adorable????? I did win one of the baby games for best play-doh sculpture of a baby. hahahahaha

Well, its going on 130am and the kiddos are asleep along with the rest of the house and I have two girls coming in the morning for me to color their hair! I love my clients and making them feel good about themselves! I cant wait to start planning some spring photoshoots soon!

Timeline of My Hair

I have had my head half shaved for almost a year, roughly 9 months now and I have never regretted it. I started experimenting with color too since attending Paul Mitchell Academy. I draw inspiration from many sources when I decide my colors and placement, but I have never copied just one idea. As a true artist, I do not COPY someone elses style. I build ideas off of what I see and make it my own. I recently came across some work online (of someone I know) that resembled my haircut, color placement and colored eyebrows. I like that I can inspire fellow artists, and that my style is trendy and catches the eyes of other people around me and its really flattering. 

Here is a timeline of my hair the past year! Enjoy!

Blonde Peek-a-boo highlights
Black and auburn
Half blonde, half brown/black one side shaved

Blue, blonde and black
Black and Hotpink/red (fav last summer)

Black and red/pink with leopard spots

ALL RED BABY!!!

reddish orange hues
blue/red/purple

black and teal
teal turqouise in crown of head
Blue and Black
Turquois again and blueblack
Back to BLUE and black...cant get away from it
What I have now: Teal and purple with redish/brown/black

I have so many favorites...which one do you like? What would you like to see me do next?


I hope this inspires you with your next hair color! I am still deciding what I want to do next with my hair!

I just gave my husband a haircut and he let me do a design in his hair using my Tattoo Clippers a friend gave me! I will have to take a picture of it! I will try to get some funky colors in my hubbys hair if he will let me. hahahaha

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again! I have been sick the past few weeks with the stomach flu, a cold, congestion....uggghhh its been kickin my butt! I am getting better and going to be getting back to doing photoshoots and videos real soon!
