Essential oils are an instant pick me up. Cazimi cleverly brought aromatherapy to a new level and you can find their essential oils at Designer Showcase.

Here’s a toast to Designer Showcase’s 9th anniversary. Established in 2011, Designer Showcase is a monthly event that offers exclusive pieces from designers all over the grid. This month’s event ends on January 28th, so be sure to stop by.
“I had heard the old Indian legend about the red fern. Only an angel could plant the seeds of a red fern, and that they never died; where one grew, that spot was sacred.” Wilson Rawls, Where the Red Fern Grows
A lot of people who read my blog know that I often use this platform as a journal. I may be a fashion blogger, but I’m also a writer who lets it all out. I lost someone I loved so much. His name has made his way into my posts. His name was Loki, and he was the sweetest pup that ever lived.
My Loki was tough too. He was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in 2017. In late 2018, he was diagnosed with Insulinoma, which is a form of pancreatic cancer. He lost his battle on January 16, 2020. I had a hand in that. I saw him struggling for a week wanting to believe it was a tooth problem he had in the past. The course of antibiotics wasn’t helping 5 days in. He looked at me and I knew what we needed to do.
When I was in middle school, I read Where the Red Fern Grows. It has stayed with me to this day. When Loki was first diagnosed, I started to plan for his death. It’s the only thing one can do when their loved one has not one terminal diseases but two. All my preparation was for naught. Nobody can prepare to lose a piece of their heart. Nevertheless, I want the red fern to be true. It’s winter in my RL, and I can’t plant shit, so thank you Amatsu Lounge for giving me that splash of red in my darkest days.
So, here we are. Every year, we say goodbye to the past year hoping the new year will be better. Will 2020 bring you all that you need? Relax…it’s a rhetorical question. For myself, I’m haunted by last year. I feel the ghost of 2019 holding on. It’s temporary. At least that’s what I tell myself, so readers prepare for Laylah’s emotional reckonings and some droll to keep it even.

I swear I lose my mind every Christmas. It’s like a tradition.
So, I’m shopping today and realized I forgot to note who I got a present for and who I didn’t. I play the game of hide receipts in a safe place because I know I’ll have doubles or I change my mind. By Christmas Eve, I’ll give up, but not until 2 hours before the malls close. I can’t be alone in this. Right?
So I had to go to Vegas for work this week. I got back on the 13th, which by the way I don’t recommend traveling on this day unless you want your flight to be delayed because the electricity went out at the airport and think flying from Vegas to LA to Salt Lake City just to get to Albuquerque is loads of fun (it’s not). Anyway, I missed my husband so much! He did all kinds of home improvement projects while I was gone. Adulting can be so hot!
It’s good to be home with ma chérie. Speaking of sweetheart, Ma Cherie Poses has the sweetest couple poses available at Pose Fair Winter Holiday. “Winter’s Embrace” is how I felt coming home and seeing my babes. It’s been almost 9 years and he still sweeps me off my feet. ♥
Do you send out holiday cards? I’m notoriously late so the cards often arrive after the new year. Combine shopping and photo taking by visiting Pose Fair Winter Holiday!
For this post, check out my take with Sweet Sassy Poses “Baby Girl Christmas.” The pose comes with a cute little sign that you may change, so you can rock your own vibe. Want to see? Click Pose Fair Winter Holiday for your sleigh!

I’m leaving for a short work trip tomorrow, but I still plan on having a little fun! Around this time of year, Las Vegas has a skating rink in downtown Summerlin, and I may check it out! AnaLog has a sweet set of poses called Ice Skate, and they allowed me to practice before I hit the rink. I imagine a friend or stranger may have to help me up after I fall on my ass, but practice makes perfect…
