    SUP Yoga Photography Tips

    /

    Last weekend I had the opportunity to work my first shift at Lake 288 with Big SUP yoga! One of the things I’m working on right now is how to take good SUP yoga photos for the students, so I thought I’d put together a list of SUP yoga photography tips. SUP Yoga Photography Tips Listen. Get an idea of everyone’s favorite pose and remember it along with their name. The sweetest sound to a person is the sound of their own name. While running through an intro about what it will be like on the water, throw in a few ice breakers and invite the students to introduce themselves,…

    Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl Book Review

    /

    Carrie Brownstein, guitarist from the rock band Sleater-Kinney and comic co-star of Portlandia with Fred Armisen, wrote a memoir that quickly was listed as a New York Times Bestseller. This sums up my Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl Book Review: I love Carrie Brownstein. Reading the memoir went quickly – I finished it in about 2 days. It surprised me just how good of a writer Carrie is, given that she’s a talented musician and sketch character actress. A strong narrative arc and flair for dramatic confessional lifeisms punctuates each stage of Sleater-Kinney’s career. I knew the storyline would be hard to read – coming of age is always…

    DIY Hand Embroidered Shirt

    /

    Hand embroidery brings a unique touch to any piece of clothing. Embroidered accents embellish so many apparel and home pieces lately, but my personal favorites are the amazing detailed ones made by creatives and fiber artists. It’s actually really easy to get started with a little hand embroidery yourself, although it does take time to master. I made this cute DIY hand embroidered shirt in just a few hours. The succulent was inspired by a few little guys in my garden and a weekend visit to our friend over at Sucs for You. She has so many cute plants going in her garden, and her site is a great resource…

    Best Wellness Podcasts

    /

    Wellness can cover so many different aspects of your life. When I set out to make this wellness podcast list, I first had to define what I meant by wellness. For me, it’s all about balance and positivity. Healthy living includes fitness, eating well, and caring for your head space, but it also includes finding a good work-life balance and staying motivated to do your best work. So the following are the best wellness podcasts I tune into while I sit in traffic and prepare for the next part of my day That’s So Retrograde That’s So Retrograde came highly recommended to me, and there’s a reason why it tops…

Hello!

Artist and writer in Houston, painting my way through a slower kind of life. Likely By Sea is where the studio spills into everything else — watercolor and process, slow craft, whole-food cooking, coastal days, and the small style-and-living notes in between. Trained as a fine artist; the rest just follows the same eye.
