My juice/smoothie guy isn’t here again today. I’m starting to feel he’s quit the market.

I hope he’s not sick.

I DON’T KNOW WHY I HAVEN’T WATCHED IT BEFORE

But today I’ve become totally addicted to the Great British Baking Show. It’s so… fun!

Omg it’s the best!

I just heard an ad on the radio from an optical place and they used the word “spectacles” like we were still wearing corsets and recovering from the vapors.

I went into my studio today to make some resin pieces. I decided to try out a new brand of resin I bought that got really good reviews. Mistake. It’s way too thick and sets up too quickly compared to my regular brand. Now I’m pissed at myself for buying it cause I have to use it all up.

Also, resin is really hard to clean off. And I don’t know why but I have a habit of removing my damn gloves and getting it all over my hands and then I’m sticky for the rest of the damn day. 

It is really hurting me to see the pictures coming out of my fellow Caribbean islands after Hurricane Irma. My heart feels so heavy. I am praying somehow it loses strength before it hits Miami.

hedaclara:

Guys, the first images of Irma’s level of devastation are coming out of Barbuda and it’s heartbreaking. The President of Barbuda says that 90% of the island is uninhabitable, upwards of 60% of the TOTAL population are now homeless because the hurricane destroyed virtually every building and home on the island, and that the estimated damage is valued at no less than $200 million dollars. That’s money a small island like that doesn’t have. They’re saying it’s going to take years to rebuild and Hurricane Jose is right behind Irma on the same path which means they could be hit twice. This is just one of the islands being affected.

Please, show up for the Caribbean like you did for Houston. There is no safety net for any of these islands including mine. They’ll rely entirely on foreign aid. Find local charities or global trustworthy charities (NOT the Red Cross) and make a donation asking them to aid the Caribbean. There’s whole countries being turned into rubble with no financial means to repair their infrastructures. They’re going to need help.

I walked to a deli and got a sandwich to go and a coffee and while I was waiting these two teenage girls ran up and were like OH MY GOD JESSICA HOW ARE YOU and then hugged me and the one whispered “that guy was following you and taking pictures of you” and then they walked home with me and that one guy stopped following me and hONESTLY THIS IS WHAT I AM HERE FOR

Y’all I was at the river just hanging with my friend and these two high school girls run up to us and say “Can you pretend to be our friends? Cause this guy has been following us,” and we sat with them and they called their parents to pick them up and I really want to share that story cause it’s SO SMART and when you’re in crisis your mind can just blank in panic so I want everyone to have that story in the back of their heads. NEVER be afraid to ask strangers for protection!

Once in like ninth grade, I was at Starbucks by myself doing homework and this weirdo came and sat at my table and was telling me how he was a photographer and how he was “scouting” for models and he really liked my “look” and he was trying to ask my name and how old I was and I was panicking bc I didn’t know what to do
Then this middle aged woman came up to us and was like “EMILY there you are sweetie I was looking for you it’s time to go home!” and the guy left really awkwardly and then she told me that she had a daughter my age and asked if I told him my name and I said no and she told me to be safe
Keep an eye out. Protect each other

why do men have to be so goddamn creepy like shit dude

FOREVER REBLOG

We tell our kids to look for the families, the moms, the dads playing with their kids. 

But I’m in a position where I often have to ask random strangers for a moment of help, and I will tell you… 99 times out of 100, people are delighted to help. 

(I use an electric cart to shop, and it’s often easier to ask the person standing between me and the shelf to hand me what’s in front of them than it is to wait for them to move, etc. etc. and then they’re embarrassed that they were in the way, etc. People are pretty much invariably kind.)

My husband was coming off the bus reading a book and a woman fell in next to him and said, “Will you walk me to the store over there?” (100 feet away).

He said, “Sure!” and then he realized some guy was yelling racial insults at her. He walked her to the store. 

When you are in public, you are not alone. But the trick is not to yell, “Will somebody help me” but to look someone in the eye and say, “Will you please help me?”

Here’s the secret: 

People like being asked and want to help, especially if the thing being asked is small to them and large to the person they’re helping.

What movie can you watch over and over again and never get bored?

I’ve seen it 1,000 times and I’ve cried at this part 1,000 times.

There are so many movies I could list, but this is definitely one of them.

Trying out rose essential oil in the diffuser.

This place smells like a flower shop.

I think I like it though. It’s soothing.

I think I underestimated how tired I’d be today.

I spent an hour in the studio and felt like I wanted to collapse.

I really want to do some more work but I’m way too tired.

Catching up on Suits. Any Netflix suggestions would be welcome.

I got some new supplies in the mail today. Some of them ring molds. So tomorrow I’m gonna head into the studio and experiment with making some resin rings. 

It’s supposed to be my day off but I’m too excited to relax. When work feels like play… 😀

I wrote the date out on a receipt for a customer this morning and sighed with relief at the visible evidence that I was no longer in the month of August.

Last month was one of the worst months I’ve had in a really long time. Every manner of problem that could arise did. I have been stressed to a point of wanting to break.

Judging from my sales today at least the financial drought seems to have ended. Once that horrible retrograde is over hopefully other things will balance themselves out. I never used to believe in astrology but my life seems to fall into disarray every time there’s a retrograde. This has been no exception.

There are two kids at the market today that look like Hitler Youth.

I don’t meant to be derogatory but we don’t get lots of blue eyed blond haired people in Trinidad and their hairstyles look like something straight out of a third reich propaganda newsreel.

They’re kinda creeping me out a bit to be honest.

Let’s get this done guys.

As some of you probably know @msdeenyc is having a rough time right now.

Her beautiful, wonderful nephew has passed.

The family is trying to fly him home for the funeral

but that shit is expensive and he didn’t have any insurance.

So they have started a gofundme.

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Any amount would be helpful guys.

Thanks guys. ❤❤

👆🏼👆🏼This is important.

I can’t imagine what this family is going through right now. Help if you can! ❤️

Today I was sanding some tiny little resin spheres (16mm) for earrings. I made six, two pairs. They kept flying out my hands because of the friction with the sanding wheel.

I lost one and I can’t find it. So two pairs of earrings for now 😦

*sad trombone sound*

shoutout to everyone making progress that no one recognized because you never let anyone see your darkest moments. i see you and i am so, so proud of every little step you’re making in the right direction.

I just randomly remembered Speakers’ Corner on Much Music in the 90’s. I spent a summer in Toronto and I thought the concept was so cool.

I made plans with a girlfriend and now I’m praying she doesn’t call cause I am too tired and all peopled out today.

1: Did you answer all these truthfully?

Sure, why not?

I’m still a bit drunk. We are going to a party filled with folks I don’t know to watch the fight I could not care less about.

So let’s do this…

edit: drunk answers likely. I was just handed a yeti filled with something rummy!

Let’s do this!

Pick a number. Cure my boredom. Not guaranteed to cure yours.

I just saw syph- I mean Brendan walking by

Even when people don’t buy my stuff, they are so incredibly complimentary and encouraging of what I’m doing. It really warms my heart. I meet so many really wonderful people through making and selling jewelry.

I just heard the steelpan version of Despacito.

Kill me now.

Many years ago I was good friends with this girl I worked with. And one day she told me she had caught syphilis from one of her partners.

She was really embarrassed and she had to call every guy she’d slept with in however long and tell them to go get tested.

Eventually one of them called back and told her he’d tested positive so we knew then who she got it from.

In private we started referring to him as syphilis as a joke. And over the years it just stuck.

And now every time I see him I hear that in my head. And he sells stuff at all the markets I go to, so I see him every weekend.

So the point is that I am just grateful that I’ve never slipped up and called him syphilis to his face.

James Cameron can truly GTFO with this “Wonder Woman is just a product of male Hollywood” crap. He is the literal epitome of male Hollywood as a freaking MALE DIRECTOR. The fact that he sees absolutely no irony in being like “no you dumb woman, I, a man can write better female characters than you” is absolutely beyond words.

Between Cameron and Whedon I just don’t get the obsession with women having to be ‘broken’/traumatized (usually in a really sexual, degrading way) to justify them being “empowered” and badass.

Apparently women can’t be born strong. We must be made that way

To raid the house next to my mom’s. 

The son of the owner of the house is a drug dealer. Everybody knows he’s a drug dealer. He’s been doing it for years.

It’s a nice neighbourhood. No one likes what he’s doing. But at this point, his customers drive up, pick up their weed and leave. 

Gone are the days when he used to have all kinds of degenerates over at the house, smoking crack, getting into fights where police had to be called. Things are quiet. Judging by the cars his clients are upscale. So everybody looks the other way and deals with the occasional contact high.

So every now and then the police make a feeble attempt at catching him at something illegal. But you can’t search a house (that honestly looks like a junk yard) for drugs without a dog. So they go hunting through the yard, through the house, lazily trying to find some evidence of wrongdoing, and then they leave.

The only difference today was that they carried off one of his friends in handcuffs. Maybe he had a joint on him. Son wasn’t even home. They could save their time and money if they’d just decriminalize marijuana. But that would make sense. And this is Trinidad. So once more, an exercise in futility that resulted in nothing. Like I said, this is Trinidad.
