Triumph in Shang Hai

Happy Sunday everyone!

To my personal disbelief I have been in Florida for two weeks (as of tomorrow!). Time has flown by and although I've thought often of my lost love, and my two kittens ( Sasquatch & Irish) but all in all, I must say- the Florida sun has kept me full of endorphins and positivity!

I have been hard at work restocking my hoop shop and painting. As a challenge to myself I kinda made a promise to do thirty paintings in thirty days. I am successfully on day four with my newest painting of a traditional japanese lady. If you are interested in keeping up with my art, please follow my deviant art account here!


It's been fun being back with my family in Florida, my two brothers, parents, Schnucki & Niko ( dog & cat respectively) are a pretty tight knit clan. Since moving to Washington State I definitely felt way too separated and am grateful to have this opportunity to spend time with them. Although the house is a bit of a clusterf*ck excuse my language, it is cleaner & more positive then my previous residence.

So this afternoon and tomorrow I have the plan of going out and getting into a shop. Essentially my darling Dave and I are slowly and painfully splitting apart - so I dont think I have any need on planning a trip back to Washington, except of course to see my lovely Tush! perform. So far I've skated 8 miles this week- something which was impossible due to terrain and weather in WA, and I feel myself getting back to my natural state of happiness. So all in all there are ups & downs as is usual, but at least things are getting better for me :)

Finally- I just wanted to put a note out there that I have added some gorgeous new Weighted Hoola Hoops too my Etsy - which are great for beginners and a fun workout too.

Stay tuned for another bonus/giveaway/contest in the beginning of February! And I am taking suggestions on what YOU would like it to be!

Much love

My Dirty Little Secret

So earlier this year I found a new love. he's big and round, heavy, and likes to spin in circles!


My hoola hoop! It the most amazingly fun thing to do that helps me to center myself without having to sit perfectly still in some sort of yogic pose battling gnawing thoughts of stupid things as I search for some sense of peace. I've never danced or done anything on that level - but with my hoop i have found a graceful flowing movement which exposes a very sexy hip swaying me- I cant say i've heard my lov complain about it! He'll usually fire up the Bar B while I m out hooping and sit an watch.
Anyways, recently I made a handful of hoops for friends and then (see below Miss Loosie Foot demoing a handful of my hoops at the lake!)

And those great friends encouraged me to share the joy that hooping brings with others via etsy and local sales. So I made my final shop http://www.thehiprevolution.etsy.com - a place where I can hand make something for all levels of hoopers (HAVE NO FEAR BEGINNERS!! Hooping is for all ages, shapes, sizes and the such. Trust me!)

Check it out- and if you mention that you saw it in my blog I'll be sure to take $5 off of any order. Thanks a bunch!

I'm off to pick blackberries today and reshoot some pictures for TooFastClothing Online- I model some clothes for them here and there. They have some cool items and the such!

Post a new blog maybe even with a hooping vid asap- gotsta enjoy this lovely grey day for now!

Cheers!
