Summer Retro Gardening

Hello Lovies!

My little make shift garden has been updated and I figured I'd give you an update! No need for unnecessary words, let's get to the good stuff!

 Showing off my $1 watering pitcher, it's an electric teal blue color!

Watering the jasmine bush. It smells nice now but it
smells really nice in the spring time. My bar fight scar is showing..kidding,
I've never been in a bar fight before, but you knew that!

The tomato plant we got from Costco on a whim sprouted one
little cherry tomato so far, the direct heat isn't helping so we have 

an umbrella covering it.  Thanks to that, it'll actually bear fruit now!

 

  These are some other tomatoes that my beloved picked, they started growing wildly in the back of the house one day and they're the most delicious tomatoes I've ever had. I hated raw tomatoes before tasting fresh,
home grown ones..love them now!

This little sweetheart started growing on its own. It's lemon mint! I  have no idea how it actually grew, my best guess is that the lemon mint clippings I got from the Farmer's Market somehow ended up in the soil. Nevertheless, it's growing like a champ and it tastes nice. Smells...well ...lemon-esque :)  (I'm trying to grow another tomato plant in the tiny pot to the left with seeds from a tomato, how adorable, right?)

Do you grow anything? How's it coming along during these months?

Cooking & Miami!

Hello, Lovies!

Hope you're all as happy as I am, it is Friday afterall! :)

I wanted to share some great news with ya, the first being that I'll be creating a series of videos focusing on health food on my YouTube channel, CurlyChronicles, titled (so unique, right?) Curly Chronicles Cooking, the first episode was posted yesterday!  Woo hoo!

 I find myself taking down my hair when I get home but I should have kept it in that cute updo lol

The other great news is that I've been invited to be a special invited guest at the A Million Queens Conference and Expo which takes place in Miami, FL and this is a natural living focused event with tons of information on how to live a more natural life.  Many gals would like to take a natural approach to their hair, makeup products, fitness routine, food choices, etc. Those of you who know me, know I'm a health nerd (health nut sounds so ..not right!) so this is right up my alley and I'm excited to be a part of it. They've even graced me with a page for my subscribers, friends, and fam to leave comments and of course talk about the event as we approach the date of September 15th. The video goes over more details but it's going to be tons of fun and I'll get to a green hotel resort and spa, never done that before!

I'll be providing more details soon, hope to see some of ya there!  :)
