Land of 1000 Excuses

Hi. Nice to see you again. Long time no see. How's life? This space has been extra quiet this week, and it's mostly because I have had incredible writer's block. Usually when I can't think of anything to say, I just use photos, except that our card reader is broken, we're on a super tight budget until we get a paycheck we have been waiting on, and well, I could come up with 1000 more excuses, but I won't. I'll just say I am glad that finally kicked the bricks on my shoulders, battled some inconsolable sadness and worked something like 18 hours a day everyday this week. Also, this post will be riddled with instagram photos, even though I hate doing that (since it seems so redundant) but it's the best I can do without using photos that don't belong to me or pertain to my life. 

We are still working like mad, even though sales have slowed to a crawl. That's terrifying to me, but I think it's because we haven't had a chance to update new styles yet. Or maybe everyone is secretly waiting for our next fab sale. I won't tell you when it is yet, but you won't have to wait long. Spoiler alert, it's going to be full of brand new styles we don't have available in our shop, and never will have available since they are exclusive for fab. We like putting our stuff on sale, it means even more people can enjoy them! Also, looking back at our last sale, and my epic blog post about it, I feel a lot better now that I have had a month of regular sleep and only minimal bumps in the road. So, sorry I'm dramatic, but sometimes a girls just gotta spill it. 

We were recently featured in Cool Trans Magazine in Japan! SO COOL! It is our first real feature, and to be featured with Levis (who, by the way, tweeted that they like our sunglasses!!!! Eeeeeek!) was kind of a huge deal! I can't wait to get a copy in the mail! Fall Fashion Week is coming up in Japan and we will have a few styles displayed in our distributors showroom again. Cross your fingers for us!

Not sunglasses related but pretty rad, we just booked a photo job with a super rad local business and it's going to be a really fun project. I miss taking photos with Doug. We used to do jobs in Tucson sometimes, and it really is one of my favorite things. More on that later, since it wont be happening until late August-October. 

Also, I started weight watchers again. Lord have mercy. I'm so tired of feeling gross all the time, but seriously, all I want to do is eat. I think it's stress eating. And I guess it's okay so far. My friend Crystal made a good point though, that it's hard when you are making a lot of food at home from scratch, because there are no point values attached to some things and you have to improvise, which seems like cheating. Also, why is it so hard to find coffee with cream in the index? Seriously. So I guess I am trying to focus on healthy eating, and maybe eating less and being more active. We have been going on these awesome nightly walks and it's becoming one of my favorite things to do. The dogs love it too, so win win.

And, now we're going to watch Children of Men before bed. I have been dreaming about that movie, so good thing it's on Amazon instant play, my new favorite thing ever! Last night we watched Camp Nowhere. Whoa, flashback central! Goodnight, and I hope you have a great weekend!
