Growing Love

I entered the color palette contest over at Style Me Pretty, after seeing the beautiful board put together by SippyCups Are For Chardonney. I thought, what a fun idea! Of course, I decided to enter last night at 10:00 pm, so I was up until 1:30 putting this together. Why do I do this to myself? I just love being creative!!!! I can always sleep tonight! I could do this all day!

My color palette contest submission was inspired by a wedding photo I found online here. I love the richness of this table and I’m a huge fan of black and white with a splash of color. I chose green as that splash because it's such a vibrant color and I feel like it connects me with nature. Green represents growth, nature and good luck. Green is a symbol of fertility and was once the preferred choice of color for a wedding gown. I’m personally trying to live a “greener” life as well, so in honor of that, I present “Growing Love”.

Happy Pills

I'm a crazy person. At least, that's what I feel like some times. And it runs in my family. No, not really crazy (and don't take offense if you are one of me), but just clinically depressed and filled with anxiety. It's as if I don't have something to worry about in my head constantly, then I don't feel normal. Luckily, there's a pill for that. It's a bitter pill, one that I'll basically have to take the rest of my life, but I've slowly accepted that it's like any other disease, and just like diabetes or heart disease, that little pill is gonna make me better. But that little pill makes me gain weight, gives me the brain shivers when I miss it, and although I've tried to get off it multiple times, I just can't. So I guess that makes me an addict as well. But it's a pill that my grandparents and family didn't always have, and they suffer from it as well, so I should be thankful for this little red capsule of happiness...
