Tuesday Tell All

February 11, 2020 by Lisa Lehmann

It’s been a while since my last Tuesday Tell all…which was a snippet about what my mom loved. Sadly, she passed on the 18th and I have been consumed with that. Honestly, it’s been hard to get back into the swing of things. You don’t know what life will be like without your mom until she’s just not there.

I’ve been back in the studio, slowly getting reacclimated, and now it’s time to get back to this piece of my work. The Tuesday Tell All. Things I love right now that I want to share with you. Ready?

favorite items of the week

What am I reading?

I spent a ton of time in my car driving back and forth to where my parents are the last month and audio books have been my saving grace. Two books I read stand out as must-reads. The Tattooist of Auschwitz was NOT an easy thing to read, but so good. And staying in that them a bit was Beneath A Scarlet Sky. Both were amazing. Educational. Insightful. Thought-provoking.

What am I eating for breakfast?

Oatmeal. I tend to get stuck in a rut when it comes to breakfast. I like to pack as much protein as possible into my day and this is a great way to start. But I don’t just make oatmeal. I add a scoop of protein powder. It sweetens the oatmeal without adding sugar and gives it the extra protein I need to start in the morning. I make my oatmeal microwave style. Half a cup of oats, one cup of water. After it’s cooked I add in my protein and a handful of blueberries. Let it sit a bit. Then stir in some almond milk. Creamy and amazing! The protein powder I love in my Oatmeal is salted caramel by MyProtein you can purchase that here. 

What am I doing for a hobby?

This seems like a bit of a funny one, but I get asked this a lot. I think because what is my fulltime job is many peoples hobby! I have found my solace in painting. I love it. The wide brush strokes. Doing something on a larger scale. I love acrylic on canvas, but I also love painting on my iPad. I use a few different apps. My current favorite is Adobe Procreate. Not free, I think it’s $9.99 but worth it. It’s a bit of a learning curve, but there are a ton of tutorials out there. It feels the most like a brush to me. I painted this for my mom’s funeral folder cover. I think it looks very watercolor realistic.

What is my must-have for my skin?

I struggle with eczema. I always have. It pops up with stress…and as you can imagine…it’s been running rampant on my body as of late. Recently, it started showing up mostly on my eyes and neck. Annoying. I have tried EVERYTHING. I even tried fancy prescriptions. Nothing seemed to help. A friend suggested a CBD cream. I was a bit skeptical. Until I tried it. Ummm…it works! Like whoa, it works. I purchased Charlotte’s Web cream at my local health store, it’s pricey…but you don’t need much. I can’t tell you how happy I am I tried this. It’s amazing.

What is my favorite piece of jewelry RIGHT NOW?

If I had a penny for everytime I’m asked this question I’d have…a lot of pennies! LOL. Currently, since it is February, not only is Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, it’s also the month for Amethyst. I knew amethyst had all sorts of super powers…. taken from The Energy Muse:

Amethyst healing properties are as plentiful as the stone itself. It is thought of mostly as a protective stone. As it is linked to the crown chakra, it is helpful in purifying the mind and clearing it of negative thoughts. This includes the negativity of stress and anxiety, which is why many meditate with amethyst so as to rid themselves of that darkness. Amethyst healing properties are especially useful in regards to work-related stress because the stone is also associated with abundance; therefore relieving stress while emanating prosperity. The amethyst properties which facilitate intuition and communication can also be applied to increased work effectiveness.

I think I must need amethyst in my life right now for many reasons…so I’m wearing this bracelet NON STOP. I have three more available if you are interested.

 

That’s all I have for this week. If there is anything you want to know just shoot me an email!

Fashion over 40. How to capture your Bohemian spirit.

November 2, 2016 by Lisa Lehmann

This post is monetized with affiliate links. If you click and buy something I will probably make some pennies. Yay me. 

It’s no secret. I have a bohemian spirit. Artist. Wanderer (in my head). Unconventional. Different. I live conservatively. But in my heart…there is a wild. And most often it comes out in my fashion choices.

I remember trying to pull “outfits” together in my teens. Then? I didn’t get the whole bohemian thing…but it was TOTALLY a part of who I was. [Read more…] about Fashion over 40. How to capture your Bohemian spirit.

I make stuff. how dare I say I’m a goldsmith.

February 16, 2016 by Lisa Lehmann

I may not actually SAY that, but often times I FEEL that.

“Lisa, what do you do?”

“Oh, you know…I make stuff.” It doesn’t always appear so glamorous in my mind. Or, to go the opposite, I might daringly say, “I’m a goldsmith.” But that sounds pretentious and I find myself backing down immediately, as I did in the Sprint store last night. Which turns into belittling what I do with “ha ha ha, pound on metal, play with fire…yada yada yada.” Why do I do that?

But instead of psychoanalyzing myself. And trust me. I do. I thought I would show you some of the fruits of my labor from the last few weeks. Because…you know…”I make stuff.”

Enjoy the tour.

AND… if you like to see more “behind the scenes” or “in process photos” I Instagram and now I’m having a blast with SnapChat. We should like totally follow each other. *insert vocal fry*

xooxo, lisa

What I want for Christmas. If I was to ask. Top 5 must haves.

December 15, 2015 by Lisa Lehmann

There are a million Christmas wish lists out there right now. Most of them sponsored. Most of them benefit the writer. I get that. It’s part of blog life.

christmas gift ideas for 2015

But I thought I would give you some of my favorite things…what I would buy for me or people I love…unsponsored. Basically, that means, aside from maybe an amazon link…there is nothing in it for me.

Birchbox. If you have read my blog for any time at all you know my love affair with Birchbox is pure and true. Every month that little box filled with samples brings me such joy. It’s fun. It’s not very expensive. I have found so many products that have become my favorites. Worth every penny. So ask for a subscription for yourself. Or gift one to a friend. And yes, if you click my links on this one they give me Birchbox points. Birchbox points allow you to spend more money on their site. Basically a win for them. But hey, I don’t mind. ( I also think I should get bonus points just for using the word Birchbox so many times in one paragraph – just click any of the words and it’s a link to sign up. I know. Brilliant )

literally my favorite bronzer. love.

That One Day I got to be a model. Oh and – I need your vote!

December 10, 2015 by Lisa Lehmann

I am not a model. I have never been a model. I have not aspired TO be a model.

But yet. There I was …entering what seemed to be an innocent little modeling contest.

Long story short. Tagged by a friend with the phrase, “Lisa, you should enter”. Immediately. I scoffed. How sweet of her I thought. I’m old. In fact…I typed those words on her post… ha ha ha, that’s too funny. I’m old. Age. It seems to be playing games with my head lately. Not that I fear getting older. More like, how the heck did I get to be 46? I think I’ve missed a few years. That makes me sad. And as is said. Beauty is fleeting.
