Kaleidoscopes & Polka Dots. The name of my shop. Why? ⁠
⁠
To me, kaleidoscopes represent multifaceted beauty & change - inevitable, beautiful, messy change.⁠
⁠
Such is life. ⁠
⁠
Polka dots are my favorite textile pattern, and I adore their liveliness and classic aesthetic. ⁠
⁠
Originally, Kaleidoscopes & Polka Dots was a blog about beauty and lifestyle.⁠
⁠
Later it transitioned into the bookish blog as I became involved in the community book lovers. ⁠
⁠
Entering this community is where I rediscovered a love for stories AND uncovered a need for bookmarks that don't slide around everywhere when you travel with your books - a.k.a. book thongs or beaded bookmarks. ⁠
⁠
That's when I started making my own and opened my shop. ⁠
⁠
As my skill level progressed, I began making jewelry. ⁠
⁠
And here we are. ⁠
⁠
Now, make vintage-inspired jewelry with a Mexican American flair. ⁠
⁠
It might seem like I'm all over the place, but to me, it feels like it's where I'm supposed to be.⁠
⁠
Kaleidoscopes & Polka Dots - messy, beautiful, multifaceted, & classic. That's my life and my business. 🧡 💚 💙⁠
⁠

"...why have I been willing to ruin myself for love. when it's good, it feels like dying and being born all at once." 🧡💚⁠
⁠
Yes. It really does. ⁠
⁠
I generally describe it as overwhelming, but Yesika said it better. ⁠
⁠
How would you describe the feeling of falling in love? ⁠
⁠
P.S. Tomorrow I go LIVE in the #CARAMBABookClub FB Group at 1pm PST. I hope you join me. Link in bio.

Do you remember the first time you enjoyed a cup of coffee?⁠
⁠
I think I was six years old. ⁠
⁠
My grandpa used to get up early in the morning, drink some Nestle coffee with instant creamer while reading. ⁠
⁠
One day, I decided to join him. ⁠
⁠
Sitting at the table with him was wonderful. ⁠
⁠
My cup of coffee...undrinkable. 🥰

🧡...when do you like yourself best? ⁠
⁠
At your most vulnerable? ⁠
⁠
At your best? ⁠
⁠
All done up and ready to seize the day? ⁠
⁠
That's when I like myself best...it's probably an unpopular opinion but, it's my truth. ⁠
⁠
In this poem, most of which I left out because I think you'd love it most if you read it for yourself, Yesika describes how her beautiful body shakes when she laughs wholeheartedly. ⁠
⁠
Lumpy shoulders. ⁠
⁠
Folds of her body often not given consideration.⁠
⁠
ALL of her, laughing. ⁠
⁠
All of her shaking. ⁠
⁠
That's when she loves herself the most. ⁠
⁠
How beautiful. ⁠
⁠
January is invariably the month where most of us look at ourselves and vow to change the facets we dislike most. ⁠
⁠
What if instead, we spoke to ourselves lovingly? With wholehearted love and joy? Wouldn't that be amazing?⁠
⁠
If you've read Corazon by Yesika Salgado or if you simply adore her work and would love to talk about it, join me this Friday @ 1 pm on FB LIVE. (Link in bio.)⁠
⁠
I'll be reviewing Yesika's book in person and talking more about #CARAMBABookClub. ⁠

#feelingsassy as I prepare for my first LIVE event

#feelingsassy as I prepare for my first LIVE event this week! ⁠
⁠
This week I'm going solo to talk about #CARAMBABookClub & Corazon by Yesika Salgado. ⁠
⁠
If you show up, & I hope you do - let me apologize in advance as I will be rambling quite a bit. ⁠
⁠
I haven't filmed a YouTube video in what seems like ages, so I'll be a little rusty in front of the camera. ⁠
⁠
And because going LIVE involves unfiltered content, and probably a few techy mishaps, you'll get a first-hand look at all that I cut out when I edit a video...and it's a lot!⁠
⁠
For context, it usually takes me an hour to film a video - this doesn't include the time I spend on prep work; it's just the filming portion. ⁠
⁠
On the other hand, editing my videos takes me about...well, a lot. I'm a bit embarrassed to say just how long, but if you can guess, I'll confirm or deny. 😊

You deserve better. You deserve it all. ⁠ ⁠ Yo

You deserve better. You deserve it all. ⁠
⁠
You deserve to be loved, cherished, adored, respected, and celebrated. ⁠
⁠
These were the thoughts that kept coming to mind as I read Corazon by Yesika Salgado. ⁠
⁠
While each poem stands on its own, together they read like a fleshed-out love story. ⁠
⁠
A beautifully messy, hopeful, & real love story.⁠
⁠
Have you read this book or anything written by this author? ⁠
⁠
What did you think? ⁠
⁠
Do you generally read poetry or are you a novice to poetry as I am? ⁠
⁠
If you feel more comfortable commenting in my private Facebook Group, click on the link in my bio and join our conversation over there. 🧡💚💙 ⁠

#CarambaBookClub

The CARAMBA! Book Club is on!⁠
⁠
So excited!🧡🥰 💚⁠
⁠
I've decided to dedicate my FB group to the place where anyone interested in taking part in a more cohesive & fluid conversation can meet, discuss, & share. ⁠
⁠
While my book club is dedicated to celebrating Latinx stories, this is NOT a Latinx exclusive book club. ⁠
⁠
It's open to anyone who's looking to discover new authors, embrace Latinx stories, & discuss these stories respectfully & openly. ⁠
⁠
A direct link to my FB group is now included in the link of my bio. ⁠
⁠
Cheers!⁠

This poem broke me. ⁠
⁠
@yesikastarr created such a beautiful love story out of a collection of poems about love in her book, Corazon. ⁠
⁠
Through her journey, she's made me laugh & cry almost in equal measure. 🧡💙💚⁠
