Honoring the past one handmade vintage-inspired jewel at a time 💝 #lovekpd #CarambaBookClub

As I mentioned yesterday, I finally updated my web

As I mentioned yesterday, I finally updated my website's homepage! ⁠
⁠
Honestly, it was long overdue, but it wasn't always clear to me. ⁠
⁠
Over the last few years, I've put out a few collections that signal this change. ⁠
⁠
First, I released Forget Me Not Collection - in 2020! This was a sugar skull-themed collection. ⁠
⁠
Then it was my Mexican-Style Jewelry Collection - a collection inspired by Frida Kahlo's love for bold colors, hoop earrings, and gemstones. ⁠
⁠
Both collections were important and personal to me, and they provided me with so much inspiration and fulfillment.⁠
⁠
A lot of it also had to do with you guys. You seemed to embrace these collections - more than my other collections - and that was wonderful. ⁠
⁠
Admittedly, I haven't put out as many collections as I'd hoped, and I think it's because I've been in a bit of a creative slump. ⁠
⁠
Or so I thought. ⁠
⁠
The truth is, like most creatives, I work on my craft daily when I'm not working on the business side of things.⁠
⁠
I do it for me, both to have fun and with the hope of getting to my next collection - a collection that I want to find both beautiful and inspiring in its story. ⁠
⁠
Somehow, I always come back to sugar skulls, bold colors, pearls, and stories that honor my Hispanic Heritage. ⁠
⁠
It feels so good to come to this realization and finally have it at the forefront of my website. ⁠
⁠
Cheers to new beginnings! ⁠

Why, hello. 🧡⁠
⁠
I've missed everyone very much, however for the purposes of being as productive as possible and FINALLY updating my website's homepage, I took a short break.⁠
⁠
On a high note, I DID IT! ⁠
⁠
I finished the copy of my homepage. It only took me five drafts, but who's counting. ⁠
⁠
Take a peek and let me know what you think. ⁠
⁠
I'll be talking more about it tomorrow on stories - or LIVE! It just depends on my tech. 🤞🏼⁠

Are you team brooch?⁠
⁠
I used to dread the idea of poking holes through my clothes on account of wearing an accessory. ⁠
⁠
However, I've since discovered a number of ways of wearing brooches - one of which is on my purse! ⁠
⁠
I've found that it's a really lovely way to update an old bag. ⁠

Defining happiness is a journey. ⁠
⁠
It took me a long time to accept that "happy" didn't look like one thing but a lot of things working together. ⁠
⁠
Visualization, meditation, and prayer have all helped me prioritize. ⁠
⁠
I loved Chica, Why Not? by @sandrahinojosaludwig because she included so many easy-to-follow exercises after she asked several challenging questions, such as, "Define "happy"?"⁠
⁠
It would have been the most challenging question for me to answer years ago. Thankfully, I've found a practice that continuously inspires and challenges me to grow and answer this question. ⁠
⁠
I think that's why I've developed a bit of an obsession with keeping a planner. ⁠
⁠
What is something that makes you happy? ⁠

The piece that started it all...⁠
⁠
As many of you know, I adore Day of the Dead. ⁠
⁠
I love that it's a holiday that honors and celebrates life - those we've lost and loved through lively music, delectable food, altars, and costume. ⁠
⁠
It's both a day to celebrate and a day to reflect. ⁠
⁠
The more I learn about it, the more I've felt inspired by the imagery and tradition. ⁠
⁠
I created this piece about three years ago, maybe longer than that. ⁠
⁠
I probably only shared it once because it felt too personal - then. ⁠
⁠
TBH, I still feel hesitant to talk about it now, but I think it's about time. ⁠
⁠
This piece represents my creativity, heritage, and connection with The Universe/God/Goddess/Spirit.⁠
⁠
It's the piece I'm most proud of and somehow kept to myself. ⁠
⁠
Anyway, here she is. She's gorgeous, timeless, and utterly inspiring. (Do you ever feel like, while you've created something really special, you can't believe it came out of you?)⁠
⁠
Because of this piece, I discovered a love for sugar skull art and jewelry. ⁠
⁠
Is there a project you've worked on that you love more than the rest?⁠

That time I read the word "panocha" for the first time in ages and giggled...⁠
⁠
What can I say?⁠
⁠
I'm 10 years old at heart sometimes.

"...I loved a man, a great artist, who just couldn't respect me as a wife. 'Fidelity is for the bourgeoise,' Diego would say. Well, thanks to the bourgeoisie, I painted the most miserable pieces of art ever. Maybe men aren't so bad...now that I think about it. Yes, men are another worthy vice." ⁠
⁠
Frida Kahlo in #CholaSalvation by Estella Gonzalez. 🧡⁠
⁠
This Friday at 1 pm PST, I'll be interviewing Estella for #CARAMBABookClub on Facebook! ⁠
⁠
Estella's the author of this beautiful collection of short stories centered around Mexicans and Mexican Americas, mostly living in East LA. ⁠
⁠
I'M SO EXCITED!! 💙🤓💚⁠
⁠
I read a GoodReads review that compared Chola Salvation to the likes of The House On Mango Street in how much it affected the reader.⁠
⁠
I couldn't agree more. ⁠
⁠
When I first read House On Mango Street, I was in college. ⁠
⁠
My teacher had a bit of a crush on Sandra Cisneros and adored her work. ⁠
⁠
After reading it, I too fell in love with her work. And so, I read it again, and again. ⁠
⁠
It's quite a short and easy book to read. It took me by surprise that it was so thoughtful and powerful.⁠
⁠
Chola Salvation is very similar, but it takes it to the next level. ⁠
⁠
Each story seems so real. Relatable. Beautiful. ⁠
⁠
5/5 🌟⁠
