Imaginary.

Today I woke up at 1am to finish a few things, in preparations for today’s Tie-Dye event in East Atlanta Village (EAV). Once I completed my to-do’s, I went back to sleep until 7am. Then the rest of the morning was dedicated to the vending opportunity in EAV, today.

To make a loooong story short, after setting up the tent, table, merch, blahhhh blahhh blahhhh…. myself, along with other vendors that also set-up, learn the event was cancelled. 😂 we were ready by 12 and out there for at least 2.5 hours thinking the event was still in happening. Hilarious !!

But I DID meet an inspiring little girl that makes her own clip-on’s. I purchased 2 pair for my niece and for my friends’ daughter. The excitement in me wanted to purchased like 5 pair but I lost my debit card and have limited cash. Lol.

Also, i managed to take an awesome clip of a teenie tiny 🦎. We had a moment and it was pretty 😎 cool. I love life and think it’s so interesting. It should be cherished and celebrated.

I also saw a mama squirrel 🐿 sprucing up her young’s nest! I actually sat and watched her run from the n’est across the walkway… crawl up the tree….FRANTICALLY grab leaves, ripping them from the trees….. run down the tree… back across the wall way…. and up into the scupture’s center that nests her babies. And you could hear little squalls 😊 absolutely sweet to witness. Super grateful for that moment!

but anyway, this is a really rad park in East Atlanta Village and they host artist markets every so often’s Saturday, from 12-6pm.

Maybe we will catch you at the next show?? Thé NON imaginary show. :) 😂

1. Citronella oil is available in health food or beauty shops but these commercial goods don't keep all their natural properties and, apart from being expensive, contain processed oils through steam distillation. Therefore, it is better to use homemade DIY citronella oil to get a natural result that provides you with all of the benefits of citronella.
   

2. The first thing you should do is to get the necessary tools and ingredients that you are going to use to make homemade citronella oil.

• 1 cup olive oil

• One slow cooker

• 1/4 cup citronella

• 1 cheesecloth or gauze
  

3. XSA Next, to make citronella oil you should mix the olive oil with the citronella leaves and stalks inside the slow cooker. Once boiled, strain the mixture using gauze or cheesecloth, always with a container underneath to collect the citronella oil, and discard plants that are left in the strainer.

Finally, repeat the process with the resulting mixture, using fresh citronella leaves and stalks but without changing the olive oil. This way you get oil with an even purer aroma. Afterwards, simply keep the citronella oil in a dark container and store it in a cool, dry place.

4. Bear in mind that citronella oil can be kept in optimum condition for an average of 6 months. You should not consume or use it during pregnancy and it also cannot be applied directly onto the skin as it can cause irritation. So, to be able to apply it as a lotion it should be premixed with soft oil like olive or coconut oil.

5. If you do not have nard leaves or stems, they can be replaced with lemongrass. Also, if you want to learn how to ward off insects with this aroma, we recommend our article on how to keep mosquitoes away with citronella. However, remember that citronella does not kill insects but repels them.

** We do not recommend applying the oil directly to the body. Add to lotion or coconut oil to dilute your extract **

People are so beautiful... everyone LITERALLY has a story. Their story that makes them who they are at this very moment in time. And it is an ART to be able to remove your ego, remain present, and wholeheartedly SEE within the that person as they guide you through their self portrait.

And in that sense– you see, I am a lion tamer. A professional, yet far from perfect.. There are mental obstacles that I cycle through sometimes, when I am slowing down and out of the inner-ring, I can count my blessings and be thankful. I can be thankful during those low periods even when I am not able to see light, at that moment in time. I realize people are literally walking before us with their heads high and guns loaded but dealing with a war with themselves, DAILY. And I am proud of those people and admire their strength through the lens of empathy and aspiration.

Three days ago my life took a crazy turn... I began getting further treatment and care for 3 “debilitating” mental diagnosis, at the age of 29. Today I am at peace and feel soooo much more stronger than yesterdays. I own those diagnosis’ treatments and I am proud of myself. This point in my life, has sent me into a state of extreme non-resistance– In the best ways!!! I have no fight left to resist and sensing soooo much compassion and excitement on my journey’s new twist. There is a greater compassion for myself, which leads to compassion and understanding for people. Especially for the beautiful women that have rallied behind me during these last couple of weeks. I am so BLESSED and THANKFUL for the amazing people that I’ve crossed paths with and have shared experiences with. Good and bad :)

We have our own stories and unique life experiences that make us shine a little more brighter everyday. Year 29 is teaching me to live more outward for MYSELF + the people around me. We are put on this earth to love unconditionally and by that, it is my duty to take the help of others by listening and being present when we cross paths and share moments.

All thanks for my journey and the people that are meant to be in my life for a reason or even a season. If anything, this moment is telling me to tighten my focus a little more on things that matter– things that are worth of my fucks. Like the people that continue to be here for me and have rallied behind me during this brief time in my life. 

I share this very intimate experience to be vulnerable with you all and share the spirit of empowerment and hope with anyone dealing with a mental war on a daily bases. Just know that you are loved by SOMEONE out here, even if it is just 1 person. The universe is made to work with us, so it is important to stay as positive as possible. Even if we have to fake it, it will eventually appear again. There is ALWAYS light at the end of the tunnel, even if that tunnel appear over and over… embrace the ways you were created and learn how to “dance” or cope with those unique attributions. If you seek to be more cooperative with society, learn ways to cope that help you better communicate with people and and better communicate what you are trying to convey. Just know that everyone is different and just because you have a diagnosis… or 2…. or 3…. that doesn’t mean that is who you are. Don’t let anything divine you!! Just learn how to drive SAFELY in your new whip and keep it pushing.

SHERT-SKERT!
