Dime A Daisiee was founded by my friend Jami not too long ago. Even though her venture into baby clothing is recent, she’s been sewing since early childhood. I met her around the time I moved to Los Angeles in 2010, and I modeled for her retro pinup fashion line when she was still doing wedding and special occasion dresses and accessories. We’ve been friends since then, and I’m so happy to see her business evolve and grow and become more and more successful over time. I’m absolutely in love with her frilly lace rompers for babies as well as the simple, yet classic tiny pants with knee patches. If you’re a parent, know a parent, or are a photographer who specializes or dabbles in child portraits, please visit her website and see if there’s anything you need to “add to cart”.

Fashion Friday: Winged Eyeliner

Beauty is all around us and our Creator has given us so much inspiration to work with. We all know that true beauty comes from the inside, but on Fashion Fridays we discover the latest fashion and beauty trends that help us to feel beautiful on the outside.

It can be a simple addition to your makeup that draws attention to your eyes, or an extreme effect to add drama to your editorial photoshoot. Either way, winged eyeliner is an amazing look that isn’t going away any time soon. We know it’s a little intimidating in the beginning, but we believe–with enough practice–you can master the artistry of liquid liner. It comes in fun colors and glittery shades, but classic black will always be our favorite. What’s your go-to winged look? Continue reading “Fashion Friday: Winged Eyeliner” →

The Problem with Comparison

Comparison is the thief of joy. It robs us of our gratitude because we’re either too busy being envious of something we don’t have, or being prideful that what we do have is better than so-and-so’s. Remember the term “Keeping up with the Jones'”? (Do people still use that phrase?) You could see it as an endearing way of striving for “better” so that we don’t become content with “not good enough”. However, everyone’s “better” looks different. If you ask a group of people what success means to them, I bet it will be a different definition to each person.

I remember when I first moved to Los Angeles from Hawaii, and I thought “Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I made it all the way here. I can’t believe I’m already working as an actress just weeks after I changed my address.” I felt pretty great about myself until the auditions started wearing on me. When you’re sitting in the waiting room eager for your name to be called, sometimes other actors in the room will start chit-chatting about their career or what they’ve been up to lately.

B-SweetZ Bakery is a new company, but you wouldn’t know it based on how many baked treats come flying out of Brandi’s home. Holiday parties, baby showers, and special events all call for special treats. You can get yours with hand lettering or printed images for that special person who has a birthday coming up. Check out her gallery of goods and contact her the next time your sweet tooth is tingling.

Here’s a little about her business in her own words:

“A home based bakery specializing in custom designed cookies. There are a variety of other treats from classic cookies to brownies to cupcakes & more!”

In Love,

Dating with Intention

Can you imagine being a 17 year old girl and deciding that dating was “not for you”? I’ve talked to many people about the span of five years in my life that I chose not to date, but I thought it would be a good idea to expound upon that subject. I had a few boyfriends before I made this decision. I later realized that I chose to date those guys mostly because they pursued me, and my friends thought that I “should” date them because we were cute together or because I needed a boyfriend.

Promo Tuesday with Jennifer Sosa

I first met Jennifer Sosa at a wedding in 2010 where she scurried around dressed in black, taking photos of the guests and wedding party during the reception. I never really understood the artistry of wedding photographers until I saw the photos she had taken uploaded onto social media. One of the photos I remember most was of the bride and groom in the reflection of water she found on site at the church. I was so used to the staged photography you see time and time again, and I had no idea photographers were “allowed” to experiment on someone’s wedding day. Her portfolio has grown and her style has become more defined since then. It’s hard to keep track of which city she’s in because her talents have her traveling for work often. The fact that she’s hilarious and down-to-earth is another reason to love this woman. From magazines, collaborations, and real-life events, you’ll see the way she paints her world when you visit her beautiful website. Continue reading “Promo Tuesday with Jennifer Sosa” →

He Loves Me

Our first ever contributor Khyra has a gift for writing poems, and has graciously allowed us to share them with our readers. Stay tuned for more contributors in the future!

He Loves Me

Jesus died for me.

He loves me.

My Father which art in Heaven came up with the perfect plan for me to able to abide with Him forever once my days on earth are up.

He loves me.

The Holy Spirit chose to leave His dwelling in Heavenly places and take up residency in me.

He convicts me of sin, He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake, he makes all my paths straight when I acknowledge Him in all my ways, He speaks to me, He lets me know gently when I have lost focus.

He loves me.

Jesus will destroy the option for me to be in a sticky situation if I allow Him to, if I am willing to listen.

He loves me.

He created the heavens and the earth, a place for me to dwell, He went before His disciples to prepare a place in Heaven for us.

He loves me.

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good.

He loves me.

Jesus protects me from the demons that prowl the earth, that have been given power over the flesh.

He loves me.

Jesus gave me another opportunity to do what is righteous, to choose Him, to choose love, and to choose godliness.

He loves me.

He loves me.

Oh, how He loves me.

In Love,

-Khyra L’amour
