Disneyland charm bracelet

A Diamond Studded Affair

July 30, 2015, 9 Comments on A Diamond Studded Affair

Despite my many visits to Disneyland Resort during its 60th anniversary Diamond Celebration, I had yet to meet our beloved characters along Main Street USA in their special outfits designed just for the 60th. Part of that was because I wanted to wear an outfit inspired by their outfits! And I finally was able to…

Prepare to be Dazzled

While the actual anniversary of Disneyland is not until July 17th, the Resort kicked off the celebration (which is slated to…

COVID has not only taken half a million victims he COVID has not only taken half a million victims here in the US, it has also been used as an excuse for racist violence and verbal abuse toward the Asian-American and Pacific Islander communities. Hate crimes toward AAPI is up an amount I never thought I would see. Here in Orange County, CBSLA reported AAPI hate crimes were up 1200%, yes, 1200%, that is not a typo! In other major cities they are seeing increases over 100% from the past. Please take time to learn, and take a stand against racism. In my linktree you’ll find links on how to help APPI communities.

It’s one wild ride. See and read more on the blog, link on profile!

Fresh oranges and kitty cuddles make living throug Fresh oranges and kitty cuddles make living through a pandemic just a bit easier. 🍊🐈‍⬛ Visit the blog for more about our new orange tree! Link on profile!

UPDATE: I want to discuss something in this photo unrelated to oranges or CW, the blanket. This is a knock off of the iconic Hudson Bay point blanket, this version was by Golden Dawn Penco, a find at a local antique mall a few years ago. However they are vertically identical. The Hudson Bay blankets are questionably linked to the spread of small pox among the First Nations in Canada, and debate for that being intentional or not still rages. However, the blanket can cause pain for some. While aware of the blanket-small pox history, I was not aware of the direct link to Hudson Bay. I want to apologize to anyone who may have been hurt, and I plan to refrain from using Hudson Bay blankets in future content.

Amid the chaos of last year I completely forgot I Amid the chaos of last year I completely forgot I wrote a cover story and I just now got my hands on a copy. 🤦🏼‍♀️ It’s the first time I’ve had such an honor, and trust me, I’m very proud. As well as thankful for my friendship with @jericl . But it is mildly bittersweet, because it’s about Knott’s Berry Farm. If you’ve been following me for awhile, then you know I absolutely adored Knott’s. I even became an ambassador for them. But when police brutality as a result of racism came to a head, and companies began to take a stand with Black Lives Matter, Knott’s failed to step up. I left the ambassador program over it. It’s a convoluted subject that I wrote about in greater depth on the blog, search “Knott’s Ambassador” if you want to learn more. Link on my profile.

The sun shines bright, the beaches are wide and inviting, and the orange groves stretch as far as the eye can see.” 🍊 Today we plucked the first orange from our orange tree. It is a day I’ve been dreaming about since we first moved to California, and despite the gloomy weather, the fruit did not disappoint. Blog post in the near future!
