Janelle’s Bouquet

Here is the main arrangement I made for Janelle. The bottom portion is a stand as she wanted to keep her bouquet as a momento. I also made her two table arrangements with purple tipped roses and a matching boutonniere for her husband. Always fun…

Goodbye 2018

Curve-billed Visitor♡

There has been a curve-billed Thrasher visiting me for the last couple of weeks. I had never seen one before? He is a beautiful, big bird and loves to chat with me. Hope he stays a while!

Super Lit!

☆My new hat… A gift a couple weeks ago from Nick… owner of downtown Santa Fe’s… Evangelo’s Cocktail Lounge. My Greek gym bud tells me…”you’re a machine babe!” Hahahaa… Yassssss! When we took this pic I told him, “wait… now we need one with my real gym face.” He laughed as I took the pic. His daughter Kiki lent me an awesome book too. She strong n sexy.☆

‘Laine n I

I love when my friends share old pics they find with me. Elaine has given me a few gems over the last couple years. I love her for being a lil citizen archivist.

We were in college here. My thoughts about female body image have really changed. I thought I looked sick when I first saw it and that my arm looked like a toothpick lol.

Green Beerz n Hard Ciderz

Mine isn’t green cuz I stuck to the 7% Blackberry Ciderz, but it’s alwayz fun to share a few smilez with Char, Tommy and Julio.

Strength and Belief

♡Affirmation Stone… A wonderful gift from Gail. I also have the word inked on my rear delt. I keep the heart shaped stone in my car near the one I got from Marlene. The stones remind me to stay strong and to always believe.♡

“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.”

Susan Kills It!

So proud of Susan for killing it and representing for New Mexico women, our capital city, and our home away from home (Mandrill’s Gym). Making history with fleshin’ gunz ablaze… amongst several cool pics and videos she sent me from her recent comp in Cali, I selected four to share. How can I not share pics of her meeting Bradley Martyn and looking mighty shredded? #winsonwins

Santero Mission

We chilled on Ortega Lane with Julio and his peeps and some of our peeps not long ago. Those guys are super funny and tacos and a Bloody Mary made it even better!! I loved the pic with all our shadows as Julio cooked up some kick ass traditional discada. We were on a mission and being spied on by the eye in the sky behind a santero’s creation.
