Mandalas

First Mandala is Nature's Harmony..outer realm is surrounded by sky, mountains and clouds..the next circle is greenery with trees, plants, birds and insects..and the center is where you find your deepest self to awaken the spirit.  Second Mandala is Perfect Symmetry..let all the energies of this mandala float deeper and deeper into your consciousness until your mind becomes peaceful. Third Mandala is Avalokiteshvara (enlightened being of compassion)..feel the energy of his goodness as he sits in a lotus position.

It's My Party & I'll Cry If I Want To..

I had a groovy time on my b-day considering we couldn't go anywhere..can't even walk in parks and nature anymore either..so spent it outside in yard cuddling my Marley-boo..went for a long ride and came across a giant turkey vulture trying to climb a fence..i made my own b-day cake..i put lingonberry jam in the center and sprinkled the sides and I found a cute Care Bear to put on top..the cake is sooo delicious!!

Groovy Birthday To Me!!

Weave Me the Sunshine

"Weave, weave, weave me the sunshine out of the falling rain,

Weave me the hope of a new tomorrow, fill my cup again,

If only I could heal your sorrow, shine on me again,

I'd help you to find your new tomorrow..shine on me again.."

- Peter Mary and Paul

On The Road - Jack Kerouac

Been catching up on my reading during this horrible time! Yesterday me and mom went out in nature, tried walking around near the lake but it was too frigid and windy. Went for a ride and it feels like being in a ghost town, hardly anyone on the streets. It sux being cooped up most of the time inside..so been keeping busy spring cleaning, baking, watching films..i'm upset that my b-day is end of March and I won't be able to celebrate it out with friends coz restaurants have shut down..also i'm upset that I can't go thrifting anymore!

Jugband Blues

Been listening to Pink Floyd lately and dreaming about summer and wish it was already here!!

If Marley finds a box, he'll be in it!

Kozmic Blues

I heart Janis Joplin..I'll never forget the first time I heard her voice, when I first saw the Monterey Pop Festival on dvd.
"Time keeps moving on, Friends they turn away, Lordy Lord. Well, I keep moving on But I never found out why I keep pushing so hard a dream, I keep trying to make it right through another Lonely day..." - Kozmic Blues

Stack of Vinyl

I'm happy today coz i'm almost done learning Bohemian Rhapsody on the piano..

The Fool 1969

Rain Forest Iguana

On Sunday we went to see a wildlife area and it was so amazing to see these creatures, but mostly for seeing the sloth!!! Unfortunately, nooone was allowed to take photos of it, but we saw it close up when the keeper was feeding it..sloths are so adorable!!!! No wonder Steve Tyler of Aeorosmith has one as a pet. I would love to have a pet sloth too, but they don't live that long then, only like 2 years! Unless they have the proper plants and trees around them. Anyways, besides the beautiful sloth, we saw a squishy giant frog, giant iguana, giant turtle, and a giant chameleon..everything was giant size except for the sloth which was medium size, possibly a baby.

Monterey Pop Outfit

Wearing cute summer top from H&M, amazing trippy print skirt, thrifted, floppy hat thrifted, and beaded necklace around my neck..i wish it was summer now!! but today we are getting a severe snowstorm and ice rain and my classes were cancelled.  I will be watching Monterey Pop 68 tonight and wishing I was at an outdoor festival with the sparkling hot sun in my face!

Sugar Shoppe 1967

Now I've been getting into the film Godspell 1973 and Victor is now my latest heartthrob..like Marcia would say "he's sooo dreamy!!" Also been putting scarves over lamps to create a warm summer hippie ambience in my room (yes I make sure that it doesn't get hot!), also I found this groovy organic hippie shampoo at the flea market..its all dried up though..can't use it but I bought specifically for the packaging!

Hippie Art

Jerry Garcia and Alice Cooper in pencil, and Eat Me drawing with markers for art class project..

Cosmic Make Up

New make up stuff I picked up over the weekend..these amazing false eyelashes and Rocketman eyeliner and the two glitter eyeshadows..the pink glitter one is Mars, and the purple glitter is Moonchild.  Went to bed late watching the Oscars..the best part was Elton John performing the song "I'm Gonna Love Me Again" in 1970s technicolor background which was sooo super funky!!!

Technicolor Dreams

I haven't been creative for a long while and suddenly I felt like painting, and I love how this turned out..very cute!! Clouds, planets, and the sun make my day.

Happy B-Day Alice Cooper!

Happy Birthday to a total inspiration and forever muse!!

Janis Joplin Style

Forever inspiration in life!! I heart Janis!! I love her style, her voice, her music..

Hippie Style Q & A

#1. When did you get into hippie fashion?
Thanks to the groovy people in my art class..so inspiring..and then i did loads of researches online and i discovered The Doors and the song "Light My Fire" really did it for me.  Also watching "Monterey Pop" and "Woodstock 69" online, and then I started my obsession with Janis Joplin and what she wore back then.  

#2. Would you want to live in the 1960s?
I would say late 60s, but mostly I would love to live in the 1970s!!

#3. Are you a mod or a rocker?
hippie/boho flowerchild

#4. What got you into the 1960s?
My art class friends, basically.  They wear the most amazing hippie stuff!! So, i'd like to shout out to them for making me realize who I am and sticking with it.

#5. Worst fashion decade?
I'd like to say the millennium because there is nothing in fashion to get excited about anymore, thus I thrift loads!! Also, people today basically dress like its the freakin' apocalypse! People all dress the same in dark, drab colours, with no patterns hardly just a blank slate just to blend themselves into the crowd.  

#6. Best fashion decade?
late 60s/psychedelic trippy people

#7. What's the oldest hippie item you possess?
A picture made out of wooden sticks that my Grandmama gave me..made by Swedish artist.

Sunflower Girl Daydreamer

Strange weather has prompted me to place a sunflower on my a hippie floppy hat. I love the way the sunlight hits my Mandala rug wall hanging a lot! Its been raining all day today and by the time I got home from art class, my shoes were totally soaked..ugh!  I will be watching a hippie movie later..haven't decided between "Taking Woodstock" or "Festival Express".
