grey//gray

yesterday i found my second gray hair & it got me excited

i cant remember the last time i dyed my hair & i dont know that i want to ever dye it again

so naturally the shiny grey hairs are slowly making their appearance

 i think that grey hair, especially natural pure white hair, is the most beautiful

i wonder if i will change my mind later in life?

one . two . three . four . five . six

days later, when waltzing east on dundas west i came across this brilliant window display at 

everyday housewife

the vessels look stunning-- lit up on the light box!
 the owner, bev, supplied me with these outstanding night shots

one brief web search for something similar

lead me to fantastic supermarket

they are a UK based company 

with a very unique webpage design + a GRAND selection

edible glitter

1/2 c. coarse salt or granulated sugar

2-10 drops food colouring 

(adjusted for desired colour)

preheat oven to 350 degrees

spread mixture evenly on foil lined pan

bake for 10 minutes 

spread in thin layer to cool for an hour

paste food colouring can result in smoking

you can store it in an air tight container for several months

break-time

i haven't been spending mucho time on the computer these days

which is something to be proud of rather than feeling guilty...

i tend to feel guilty when i 'neglect' my blog

but i also don't feel good about feeling 'forced' to blog

and half-ass the content i post

sometimes you gotta take a break!

i'm going to take the rest of the month of June easy, 

back to the regular in July

i think about this artwork whenever i apply lipstick

this large-scale photographic series titled 'lipsticks' by stacey greene 

captures lipsticks near the end of the tube, after a countless number of applications

each is titled after the first name of the woman they belong to

roberta, wendy,  lisa, brenda...

pantone

i'm a sucker for a pantone something, because i'm a colour geek.

 
 

pantone!
