Bar Cart Styling

How do you keep a bar car stylish from season to season? 

     A few years ago, I had a lot of fun refurbishing an old bar cart that seemed to be asking to be revived: After all, we received this old piece from theatre friends to use as a candy cart for our Willy Wonka play...I did not even know what the original purpose was, so it ended up doing many things:

• Holding Boxes of Art Supplies
• Filling in as a makeshift bookcase 
• Collecting dust

It was finally one day when this interesting retro contraption was being used to hold the stereo in my ballet class, that it caught my eye (Actually, I had been watching Mad Men the previous afternoon)...

This is a bar cart! It was missing a key element: glass!

I immediately became excited...I could make this old bar cart look like new! I could give it a new life!   So that's what I did. Check out my video on my YouTube channel for my bar cart summer project here.  

This makeover of my summer cart was great for family activities and get togethers during the warm weather. With that in mind, I did not include any alcoholic beverages.  But during the holiday season, spirits and signature drinks become a major part of hosting grown-up parties, so once again, the excitement built to a fever pitch, stocking up on both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, sparkling water and fruit gave everyone a variety of delights to choose from, with items that sparked conversation and humor. 

A holiday bar cart is a great way to make beverages available to your guests without them crowding the kitchen, and keeps everyone located in a central area to enjoy the festivities.  

When the New Year rolled around, I changed the theme to silver and gold details to symbolize cherishing the old and welcoming the new of the upcoming year. I even added a string of fairy lights and bottles of champagne to round out the festive look. Styling a bar cart is truly about including the items that bring you and your guests enjoyment, and all things can bring a signature look that sets your cart apart from all others. Be unique and creative!

Here are some things you will need to make your bar cart pop to set yours apart from any other:   1. Glasses are a no-brainer, but including glasses that have personality draws guests to the cart, if only out of curiosity. These glasses from J.C. Penny have a bit of a retro flair, and can be used for a variety of beverages.  2. A cocktail shaker. This one from Off Fifth is shaped like a pineapple.  I like to have shakers of different sizes available. 3. I love cut glass decanters. They add luster to the set, and allow spirits to aerate. 4. While I do not have any bar tools on my cart, having a set helps to measure and mix beverages. 5. Have some fun coasters for guests to use to protect your furniture. 6. A personal piece of art or whimsy gives creative flair, and says, "This is my cart!" 7. Pretty cocktail napkins invite conversation. I like to have a few with funny, cheeky sayings that make people laugh. 8. Fill your bucket with ice to keep traffic down in your kitchen. Fresh flowers are elegant, and add the natural element to your cart, you can also add artificial grass arrangements for a modern zen feeling.  10. Bar carts come in a variety of styles and have a wide range of price points, so you can find one that suits your taste and budget. 11. These gold hammered champagne glasses complete the Silver and Gold theme, ringing out the old and bringing in the new with every sip! 12. And always keep the most important tool handy, a corkscrew to open those bottles of wine! 

If Pinterest is any indication, bar carts have made a strong comeback, and will be around for a long time. They are an instant upgrade to the decor of your home, and they can be outfitted for a variety of occasions and uses: Hot Chocolate/Coffee Bar, Soda Stand, Wine Tasting, Tea Table...all are a useful way to easily store beverages and create a social atmosphere for gatherings.

And after the Holidays are over, simply streamline your bar cart design to include only the essentials handy.

Your bar cart can express your unique personality and be styled for all seasons and occasions as the focal point for all social events in your home.

Bringing the Hotel Home

     There is nothing that exhausts me more than returning to an untidy bedroom after a long trip away from home. Oftentimes we do not pay attention to the messes we make when preparing for an extended travel adventure, leaving clothes and toiletries out that we decided not to take along, things on the floor and the bed unmade. We are in such a hurry to leave that we forget to pick up, and what awaits us is work to be done and no time for relaxing after a long time away. It can put a damper on the return to familiar surroundings, and the memory of a well-kept hotel room, where everything was always neat when you walked in, and well appointed services and creature comforts were at your fingertips. 

     Keeping the serenity is easy, if we plan ahead to make our homecoming like checking into another 5-star suite. Making your room "hotel ready" keeps a relaxing atmosphere available to you at any time:

• Returning from vacation or a long business trip
• Coming home after a stressful day at work
• After the hustle and bustle of shopping, especially during the holiday season
• A romantic evening
• Enjoying a "Staycation"
• Just because!

     First, you'll want to CLEAN up your room. Make it spotless. Dust, wax, vacuum, and clean the mirrors and glass. If you are departing on a trip, do this a couple of days before you leave so you will not have to worry about organization while you are packing.  

   Next, create an atmosphere of 5-star luxury...and when you come home, you'll breathe a sigh of relief as you open the door to your own sanctuary. 

There is nothing like a neat, tightly tucked bed with white linens, big pillows and a throw to evoke boutique hotel quality.  For more information about how to make your bed feel like one from a hotel, visit Apartment Therapy's link here.

No room is complete without a cozy cup of tea (or coffee). Bring hot water and bags from the kitchen, or plug up an electric teapot close by to stay in the comfort of your "hotel" room. 

Every posh hotel room needs its share of amenities. Use what you have around the house to add flair to your bathroom.  Chill water in a pretty glass bottle to have it ready for a sip!

Your everyday white towels take on a whole new look when folded and stacked. Add a towel in a different color for a more personalized look. 

I used an empty Trader Joe's vinegar bottle and a spout to make this mouthwash decanter. Add a highball glass for a classy touch next to your sink...you'll feel transported to luxury!

Be the envy of any room service; add crystal glasses turned upside-down on a linen napkin. 

Bring your guest soaps home from the hotel to store in a glamorous apothecary jar. Collect bars from every hotel visited throughout the year, and when you open the jar, the fragrance will bring back beautiful memories!  Use the bars to wash your hands at your sink

Once again, those vinegar bottles come in handy to store bubble bath and body wash. Mixed bath salts and silk flowers invite soaking away the day. Unwind and indulge in tranquility...

... and don't forget to treat yourself. 

Finally, remind everyone else in the house to keep down the noise by hanging out your "Do Not Disturb" sign. Create one using the postcard setting on Canva.com. Just download the app onto your iPad! This sign was printed on photo paper, trimmed with sparkly washi tape, and a ribbon was glued to hang on the doorknob. 

 Recovering from the stresses of being away from home requires rest and calm.  

Days can be filled with stressors, from someone cutting you off in traffic to last minute office drama to suddenly missing your flight.  What better way to restore balance than to create a space where we can find ourselves again and be ready to face the challenges of every day life. Having that quiet time to reflect and unplug gives us a place to rejuvenate in peace and comfort!

Birchbox Unboxing September

Birthdays are always fun, and celebrating Birchbox's Birthday was no exception. I have been a Birchbox subscriber for one year, and September's box was filled with some pretty nice treats. The design of the packaging was my favorite of the whole year, with a confetti motif on the top  lid and black and white graphics on the bottom, the contrast made it pop with bright, cheery color!

The patio party was complete with beautiful boxes from the year, and delicious cupcakes from Nadia Cakes, which I could not wait to eat after the video taping.









I think my most favorite product in this box was the Milk Highlighter, which I use bring a glow to my cheekbones and the bridge of my nose.  I will be buying the full size ($24.00) for sure!




Next, I had the opportunity to buy a fabulous add-on from Stila:

Love, Love, Love these Stila Matte Lipsticks!

The Stila Matte About You Liquid Lipstick Trio ($20.00) comes in a pretty reusable pouch. The lipcolors are great for fall, and like my other Stila matte, they stay on all day through lecture, lunch, tea and smooches!



Birchbox is only 9.99 a month. You get 5 samples to try, and you can earn points by reviewing the products and purchasing full sized versions in the Birchbox store. I like Birchbox because I do not have to go all over town hunting for makeup and skin care products; I get to sample quality items in a beautifully wrapped box that I can keep! It's my little special something for myself each month.

     If you love birthdays and cupcakes, you'll enjoy this video! Watch my unboxing and subscribe to  my channel.

Visiting Southcoast Botanic Gardens

Salvias are some of my favorites...I especially love the purple ones!

    There is nothing like a Sunday Funday when I am alone with my camera in a beautiful, quiet place. I get an opportunity to be by myself with my thoughts, taking time to enjoy the little things in life. My visit to Southcoast Botanic Gardens was like that: rambling among the many beautiful flowers gave me a sense of calm that only comes when we say yes to allowing ourselves time for solace.

The dahlias...so many varieties...

    Purples, reds, oranges and other vibrant colors greeted me at every winding turn. I used this time to focus on practicing with my Nikon Nikkor 50mm 1.8 lens, so I did not take any other lens into the park with me to insure my dedication to working to achieve the affects I've desired.  When I reviewed my shots later that day, I was pleased with what I saw.  The time by myself enabled me to focus with not only my eye, but with my attention to what I saw.  Most people say that you cannot take a bad flower picture, but I've learned you can take awful ones. There is more than one way to shoot a flower, and I think that is the most important thing I learned while I was among these stunning blooms that were the finale of the summer. 

These pretty white flowers were a challenge for me to focus, but I like the outcomes of these shots the most.

Roses always win! 

The park had a huge pumpkin patch that was growing giant pumpkins. This one had traveled out
of the gate!

This giant pumpkin rests lazily in the green of the patch. 

An orange dahlia

These were in the dahlia garden. I thought these flowers were
so unusual, and since they were purple, they became instant favorites!

Simply gorgeous!

Keeping the flowers company...

I learned something on this day: Alone time is very good for you. As a photographer, one should learn to be
comfortable with the solitary in order to achieve mental focus and to improve skills. 

My Natural Hair Journey: Five Things I Have Learned

     I remember the day when I said, "That's it. I've had it." Since then, I have learned Five Things About Transitioning to Natural Hair. Some lessons take a year to learn, but can be truly rewarding...
                           

Balding and thinning...

     At that point, I had a bald spot at the crown of my head from years of winding a weft of hair weave around my own ponytail, and securing it with millions of bobby pins to create another one that was longer. My own hair was dying underneath, because it was not getting air, and my solution became to continue wearing this diva ponytail while the rest of my hair fell out. My edges were beginning to thin because I had been pulling my hair back almost everyday, not to mention the throbbing headaches and dizziness from the pins' pressure on my blood vessels at the top of my head. All of this? To have someone else's hair attached to my head? Deep thinking about what we are willing to sacrifice at the cost of truth flooded my mind.

     I looked at myself in the mirror that day, and realized that my self image was not only important to me, but for my daughter; she had become addicted to wearing braided extensions, covering her short, beautiful, curly hair. I knew that as a mother, I had to be her example. She needed to see her role model embracing what God gave her. So that day, I just ... did nothing to my hair but let it out.

     It has been almost a year since I have made the step to stop relaxing my hair and allow my hair to be what it is supposed to be: Curly, thick clouds of free, unprocessed hair that is big and present.

Day One of the Journey...I just let it out and rocked it with confidence.

The first few days of letting my hair out were very interesting. It was not as much of an adjustment for me as it was for some of my friends and coworkers. Seeing me with long, straight, silky locks or a glamorous ponytail each and every day, they simply believed I was donning my own, true hair. When my hair made its authentic debut, I was greeted by one coworker who asked, "What happened?! Your hair is so...wild!" She said it as though she seriously thought I was wearing a costume or was joking. Not everyone had that opinion, though. For the most part, my transition was met with loving enthusiasm, and a sense of celebration for my choice to walk toward showing the world my true self. I was not alone, however: My daughter also chose to cast away her blonde, braided locks and embraced her beautiful puffs of 4c hair. A brave move, since she works for a high-end retail store in chic Santa Monica. We have committed to this change together, and have learned so many things about how to care for our hair, and the cultural implications of saying yes to who we really are.

     There are so many situations I have encountered in this past year, but five of those things are ideas and tips that may help anyone who is thinking of transitioning from relaxed to natural hair. While I am no expert, I have lived the experience, and sharing what I know will give some information to someone who may be going through a similar situation.

Transitioning 

1. I did not do the "Big Chop" - some people recommend cutting off all of your relaxed hair to the new growth to begin your natural hair journey, while I chose to transition from straight to curly. I had already cut my hair short a year before, and wanted to keep the length. I just didn't want to start over. How you begin is your own choice. Just saying yes to going natural is what is most important. 

2. There is no such thing as a "Product Junkie"- Throughout this year, I have tried dozens of creams, oils, shampoos, conditioners and gels on my hair, many of them suggested by natural hair YouTubers who swear by whatever product they are using and highly recommend it to you. Some of them have been good, some awful, and others so great that they have become part of my hair care regimen. I would not have been able to determine what is right for me if I had not actively sought out the appropriate products, experimenting to find what worked and what didn't. 

     Another thing to bear in mind is that different products work for your hair at different phases of your transition, of your wear-out, and for different styles. For instance, one product may be effective with a "washngo", but may not even do your hair justice when you use it for a twist-out. In order to know that, you must try products to know what works for you. What other way is there? 

3. Following a natural hair regimen each and every day encourages hair growth.

"Be ethically conscious about purchasing hair for protective styles.  Remember: That hair used to belong to a fellow sister! "

• Braiding/Twisting, using liquid, oil and conditioner (LOC) before bed is the key to this whole process, in my opinion. In addition, I sleep with my hair covered with a satin bonnet so my cuticles are not rubbing along the cotton on my pillowcases, which causes breakage. 
• Liquid = Water - If anything, moisturizing and hydration of not only your hair, but your body, too. Drinking plenty of water is good for you anyway, but your hair will thank you for it. 
• I was not going to fall in to buying a hair steamer, but I did, and I now I know what I have been missing. Using a steamer has many positive benefits that stimulate hair growth and make your curls irresistibly beautiful and luxurious!
• I do not need to wash my hair with shampoo every week. Now, I co-wash once during the week, and wash my hair maybe every other weekend with a sulfate-free shampoo. 
• While protein treatments are necessary to maintain strong strands, protein-based products should not be applied daily, because they create buildup and prevent the hair shaft from absorbing liquid, which eventually leads to breakage. Beware of coconut oil and coconut oil-based products...I had to learn that lesson. See my video on how I solved the problem on my YouTube channel.



Braids to protect during winter

• Protective styles are not a sin. I had to be okay with putting my hair in braids for the winter to protect it from the harsh wind and cold. Just be responsible with how you choose the hair you use to weave and braid, and respect the fact that someone had to shave their head in order for you to wear it. See my article in my blog list. 

4. Vitamins make a huge difference. - They really do! If you are into blending, simply drop your vitamins in when you are making a smoothie. In addition to other supplements I take, the following  are ones that I know help with my hair:

• A multivitamin (which I take anyway) with folic acid and biotin
• Vitamin D
• Fish Oil
• B Complex and B-12

Smile! It's a washngo!

When I say vitamins help, I am not exaggerating. My nails and my hair grow like crazy because I take vitamins!

5.  Be your own hair crush. - This is my motto that I cannot stress enough! There is an exorbitant amount of material out there about the natural hair movement; videos on YouTube with tutorials, Pinterest boards, Instagram feeds...and every shot seems to have this girl with this super big, puffy locs that have flawless, perfect ringlets circling her face. Not everyone's hair is the same, and your hair is different and unique to you only! That is cause for celebration! If you are twisting and rolling to expect results you see on a Pinterest post, don't count on it. But DO look forward to seeing what YOU will look like. I have been pleasantly surprised with each phase of my transition, and for the first time, I can see my true curl pattern that I was born with. I look forward to looking at my big, beautiful hair and the way my hair curls into its little ringlets, or how it waves after a twist. I am in love with my own hair, and celebrate that I am part of a diverse community where beauty comes in all lengths, shades and textures.

I am not looking to straighten my hair anytime soon. A "length check" is not a priority for me right now. I am too busy enjoying the many ways I can wear my natural hair, sharing my experience with fellow naturalistas, and feeling the wind blow through my locks as I walk through life with pride and grace.

Clean Cooking

Pierced

    Sharing my view and experience on piercings and tattoos.

I got my first ear piercings when my grandmother decided that it would be fun for us to go have our ears pierced at the mall. She would later go on to spoil me with beautiful earrings as treats for good grades, birthdays, graduations and finally, my wedding day. An earring she bought me mysteriously slipped from my ear and fell in to her coffin on the day of her funeral. I guess it was her way of taking a part of me with her, and reminding me of the one thing we had in common, our pierced ears. Not even her own daughters-my aunts, or my mother-shared that experience with her. It was one of many of our special things. 

In college, the New Age Hippie look became popular, and double holes and asymmetrical haircuts were popular. While I opted out of my hair looking lopsided and unfinished (I shaved it off instead...), I did like the versatility of a two-hole piercing; you could wear a hoop in one hole, and a stud in the other...which looked attractive in my fairly sizable ears, which needed some decor because of my boy-short 80’s hair. While I am not one to mark myself up with tattoos, piercing is an art form that has intrigued me, and as the years have passed, I have grown fond of poking myself every now and then. 

While we all know that body piercings are found in almost every culture in the world, I was still curious to know where the art of poking holes in one's self began. 

Historians and anthropologists assert that humans began piercing various body parts as early as 3300 B.C.E. According to Afro Style Magazine, mummified bodies with pierced ears have been discovered, including the oldest mummified body discovered to date, the 5,300 year old Ötzi the Iceman found in an Australian glacier. Gold, ornate earrings were common in the 18th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt and were reserved for only nobility.

Through the centuries, few women pierced their ears, yet men wore ear jewelry to denote wealth and power. As sailors from early Europe ventured to far away places, they learned from other cultures the practice of piercing the earlobe for what was believed to be a remedy for poor eyesight. They also adorned their ear with gold earrings as “insurance” for their loved ones in case their bodies where washed ashore in the event of their death while at sea. 

    Piercing the left nostril is the sign of women of childbearing age in India, as the left is thought to be connected to the reproductive system. I found the significance and the beauty of this particular practice meaningful, and chose to have my nose studded on my 50th birthday. 

I've collected a few more holes in my head over the years, many of them have a significant meaning for me, marking milestones in my life or representing loved ones who are dear to my heart.  My final goal is close; to have a tragus piercing and another nose stud placed close to my current one. 

When I look at myself with my piercings, I see a woman who is confident, strong and comfortable in her own skin. They are a beautiful extension of my self expression that tells the world who I am with every sparkle.
