How to keep crafting when you have a newborn..

Easy! Don't sleep! Works for me anyhow..I have a couple golden hours between baby's bedtime at 9 and her 1 a.m. feeding to frantically appease my creative needs. So here are a couple of recent things.. I'm not really a talent at making jewelry necessarily but I went to the Beadhive and inspiration struck. Speaking of the Beedhive I ran into former on-air talent and buddy Robin Robinson while I was there and if you haven't checked out her jewelry line, it's a must. The website is www.roxmpls.com.

Also wanted to give you all a sneak peek at the swatches for the new Glo Apothecary Spring/Summer stuff (see left.) I got these gorgeous threads at Crafty Planet and will be using them to make Lavendar Eye Pillows, Sleep Masks and other sundry Spa-cessories for sale at Glo Skin Spa. Speaking of which we have a fab new massage therapist offering 50% OFF FOR FIRST TIMERS! I know, ridiculous! Book online at www.gloskinspa.com.


And finally on a side note, I usually do a "raw detox" for about two weeks in the spring and fall. This time I've got a little added pregnancy "cushion" to get rid of and I swear, other than making you feel fabulous, this really does the trick. I found an amazing company, Pure Market Express (www.puremarketexpress.com), that pre makes, raw/vegan dishes and sends them to you. And I'm all for being healthy but if it doesn't taste good- I'm not eating it! This definitely does and is such a life saver when you really don't have time to cook. I inhaled the chocolate macaroons already..

Hope you're all having a great intro to Summer! xoxo-Farah
