💐Fairy Tarot: Spring Reading💐

Hey Friends!

One of my interest, is tarot reading! Growing up my mom didn’t approve of tarot cards and witchcraft because she’s very superstitious. But I was always drawn to it. My older sister, Michelle had a Wiccan book that I’d look at. She was really into it because of the tv series, Charmed. She used to tell us we’re the Halliwell sisters because all of us start with the letter M and there’s 3 of us. The power of three.

One day after work, I stopped in at Barnes and Noble, that’s where it all happened... At the corner of my eye I saw the word “Victorian”, I walked up closer and it said Fairy Tarot Cards, I snatched that book up like no tomorrow. It had my name written all over it. I love the fairy lore and myths.

Which brings us here today, for every season there are different tarot spreads. This is my Spring Tarot Spread. The Herald of Spring is basically calling in the new season. He’s helping me pick my cards. Basically he’s the mascot of this spread.

What to expect in Spring?
My first card that I picked up is The Conjuror (The Magician). It is very weird, but I feel like the universe is giving me so many signs that I can’t ignore this now. I had picked up this card on my last reading in the winter 2017. Seeing it today makes me realize that I do have potential in life and I need to use it for good. This card is becoming my favorite from this deck because it’s a Major Arcana.

What is brewing...
The second card I picked up is the 2 of Winter (Two of Swords). This is something that I have to over come, since I started this blog I want it to thrive and flourish like the flowers in spring. But I can’t let poor decisions or no decisions, at all, constrict me from my future. If that makes any sense. It means stalemate, indecision, truce, blocked emotions. Which is true, I do have the potential to start something amazing. I just have to be decisive and not procrastinate. My sisters always motivate me to put more content out there. It always has to be consistent, and don’t be lazy.

What are the fruits of my future...
And lastly, the Stars card. Another Major Arcana card, we are all connected to the universe and everyone has their path. Trusting the universe is a key role to having faith and courage. I always have doubts in my mind about if I’m doing the right thing. My endgame, I want to be self employed and my own boss. I’m happy that Mark is letting me focus on my blog and YouTube. I just don’t want all this hard work, stress, and tears to be for nothing.

Doing my tarot cards always gives me great insight. I know this can also relate to people out there who are struggling with what they want in life. My advice, you all have the potential to succeed in whatever your mind and hearts desire. You have to trust the universe and make smart decisions, also have faith in yourself! You can accomplish anything, and if you keep failing at it like me, I’m here for you! Let’s be brave and courageous together!

I love you and you are special,

🔮Don’t give up on your dreams: Blog Journey🔮

Today is a very special topic because I want to share my journey into blogging. During my 3 year hiatus, I did a lot of self reflection, now I’m ready to restart this journey.

After countlessly getting denied on Lookbook.nu, I decided to start a blog in 2009, I wanted to share my style. Back then, Lookbook was very selective, you would have to apply to get invited. Now, everyone can join it. I’m guilty for having one, but no grudges. All love.

Always trust the process

I always had a fascination for fashion and style. Heck my mom even signed me up for Susan Page Modeling in Hawaii back in 8th grade. Growing up, my inspirations were (and still are) my sisters and my aunty. My aunt would sew my Halloween outfits, prom dress, ect. I used to sketch designs and she brought it all to life. It was magic!

In high school I would go thrift shopping and buy high waisted shorts or rompers and style them with my favorite oxfords. I even participated in a fashion show my senior year with my life long friend Ian. We went on a school field trip to Honolulu Community College together and was interested majoring in fashion.

Then in college, I started actively updating my blog here and there, hoping to make it a career. Sadly it was my downfall, I started becoming something I’m not. Buying all the “trends” in brands that were not in a budget of a struggling college student. I used to work on campus to support myself, I paid my last semester on my own... textbooks, fabric, tuition.

🌸I believe for every raindrop, a flower grows🌸

I remember when blogspot first did Adsense, they told me I needed to keep trying and get more views. Once I finally did, it took a long time to see any income. It was exciting at first but I had to keep trucking it through just to get a dollar. I felt so defeated, I even tried to stand out and make videos for each look. Anything to get recognized. 

I kept thinking that life was a competition and I have to be on trend to stay relevant. I started becoming superficial and narcissistic. Trying to get as many followers on chictopia, lookbook, and blogspot. It was unhealthy. 

Don’t validate your life on likes

People don’t like talking about their failures because their ashamed. Don’t be, it what makes you, you. The reason why I stopped sewing, was because I felt humiliated during my fashion line review in college. I let it get to me, I felt that fashion wasn’t my love but my enemy. I wasn’t passionate about it. I hated it. I resented it. My blog and sewing didn’t make me happy. I was mentally defeated.

After years of solitude, I had to find myself, fall in love with fashion again. My friends in Jacksonville inspired me to start an Etsy. I showed them my line I made in college, and they loved it. They created a spark that I thought had disappeared.

That’s why I wanted to revive this blog, I enjoy writing. I want to share my sewing creations, show you my outfit posts, link you to music that I’m vibing with. I want to ignite your passions and dreams.

Right now, my goals are: writing substance for this blog, getting back to sewing and creating an Etsy shop. I’m doing this because it makes me happy. Everyone should strive for happiness. Happiness always comes within. Do things you love and what makes you happy! 💖
