🌲🌿🍃

I really love walking my pup at a near by park. The best stress relief for me is spending my time with nature and appreciating the little things. The beauty of birds, wildflowers, and trees. It’s also great for meditation. I spend my time to cleanse my aura in nature.

A great way to cleanse your aura is touching trees, I know it sounds strange but it actually works for me. The roots of trees are deeply penetrated in our Earth, visualize your negativity transferring back to Mother Earth. Trees hold wisdom and stories beyond years. As an empath I pick up negative energy, that it overwhelms me, it’s crucial to get rid of it. 

In Jacksonville, I would always smile at trees and touch them. At first I didn’t know why I was doing it but I always felt better. Upon further research, I noticed that trees are a great way to rid all negative forces. Whenever I see a tree stump I get sad and affirm them that they will grow larger than it’s previous form. Make sure you ask the tree for permission before you approach them.

It doesn’t mean I don’t believe in God I do, I love God he created Earth. I just don’t need religion to suppress my beliefs. I’m a free thinker and religion was made to control minds, for lost souls. Without religion the world would be in more chaos than it is. Humans need structure, morals, and faith. Something to believe in. I was raised Roman Catholic and my husband is a devout Christian, our middle ground: if you believe in God, all is well. I’m not going to force my beliefs down throats.

Here’s a tune for the day, very reminiscent of Breathe Me by Sia:

Today Mark and I went to the Arts Market and it was amazing!~ First I tried the Blueberry Basil popsicle from this vendor. It was such a hot day! And be careful eating this flavor because most of the seeds were stuck in my teeth, not a good look. Then we wandered around, live music, everyone brings their dog here, I'll bring my future pup here too!

Mark got curry and I got a salmon "poke" bowl, the fish wasn’t raw, I'm from Hawaii so when I hear poke- it's raw. The food here is so different. It was pretty good not what I expected but meh. 

Before we left I got another popsicle it was guava hibiscus, yummmm!!!! Mark got banana cream, it's alright. He liked mines better and I told him to get the same one but he wanted to try more flavors, oh wells! Fun filled day, I have to spend as much time with him because he will be gone for 2 weeks, work stuff.

Today I wanted to go take photos at a park, but I was too shy to do it because there were people around so we drove around and saw this dock where all these boats were, then tada!!! It was quite difficult shooting because this Florida heat makes both of us (Mark and I) impatient. The sun was beaming and Mark hates to sweat, so I tried to relax more on my facial expressions, I totally was going to be a grouch today if he didn't get it right. 

The deal is if he takes my photos for my blog then I will go grocery shopping and be a total angel to him. I HATE grocery shopping, there's crowds and I get really anxious and nervous. I have no clue why but I just hate going there. He takes forever, but he says it his favorite past time with his mom, so I can't complain. Adorable right?

The last photo sums up pretty much the mood that I was in, FRUSTRATED. I reviewed all the photos and we had some lighting problems. Then we decided to walk to another location where I guess people have parties, and he took some photos there. I was happy because of the lighting but then the location just threw me off because I'm on the rocks then grass and now a wooden platform. As I started uploading my photos from my camera I remembered I have Adobe Photoshop <3 ***angel harps playing***

Long story short I'm an idiot and I will use the location, wooden platform place, on another blog post with a different outfit. So it doesn't confuse people. And I am so glad that I have Photoshop to edit my pics because now I don't have to worry about the lighting as much. I will be cautious though because no one likes an overexposed pic.

What the Fringe?

Hello Earthlings!~

So recently I went to the Alexander Wang x H&M collab, and I can't wait to style looks with it. I also have 2 more looks coming up I did earlier this week but I'm putting it on hold and shooting the A Wang collab instead. It was crazy busy! If you follow me on instagram, @monicahellz I look like a happy camper! My best friend and I were in line since 5am luckily people in Hawaii don't give a sht about designer collabs, or they just don't know about them... We had a game plan and I walked out with all the items I wanted! Don't worry I will post it up pretty soon, I've just been busy at work. It's so much fun working with my best friend! Especially when I am helping with his sales. 

Anyways back to this post I love the slimy peace symbol and fringe. The skirt is getting faded (*sad face*). I bought the shoes at H&M a while back and it was on sale for only $8! Great for the Holiday season! I'm so stoked for the Holidays.

STRIPES, PAISLEY, and WINE

Wine Floppy (Chapel Hats). Cropped Top (American Apparel). Bell Bottoms (F21).

I'm a huge fan of mixing prints and BOLD colors. I guess that's the filipino in me,  LMFAO. Anyways, I'm really digging the whole bell bottom look and I'm on a quest to find the perfect DENIM bell bottoms for my 5'2'' arse. I've been searching for the longest time-like to be specific-it has to be high waisted dark denim flared bell bottoms. NO: patches, extra pockets, buttons, style lines, and the "faded" look. I can't sew it because my sewing needle broke and I have no idea where to buy industrial needles... Btw I'm wearing platforms with this look, I can never find bell bottoms for my short self. Enough of that, I just really love the composition on my first photo because the juxtaposition of clouds and solar panels then there's me.
