Sexy Champagne

This spring will be about boho chic. Or grunge preppy, if you prefer. The good gal getting out there in creamy vanilla-cappucino-strawberry shake-colors and having a flower power, champagne shaded moment.

Here is a bubbly drop, my latest painting… Can you sense the Canadian influence?

Lots has been going on in my life… In the midst, working up that sexy attitude.  Feeling like a la-day in my skinny jeans. Leg hugging stuff – yay – and put it into good use. Feel the cat queen in you roar!

So, I found a new job! I am again teaching English to adults. I missed being a trainer. It was titillating hopping back in front of a class. They asked me if I was an artist… I was stunned. “What made you think so?’ was I able to mutter. “Everything in you. The way you talk, your clothes and earrings, not to mention your funny fur bag.” Aren’t unexpected human encounters the best?

A chick has to get crazy, too…

Quebec City has a few nice bars to go out for a 5 à 7… happidy-hey hours, huh! But so far champagne hasn’t fizzed in my glass… kissable cherry mojitos, yep. Smack!

Don”t you love Enrique Inglesias’ latest? I am pure bubbles… dirty dancer, oh là là!

My Mind Is Dancing

Here in my little 70s decor living-room ideas are cooking. Parmesan chicken, diet root beer, Bath&Bodyworks cinnamon apple candle sweetly filling the air with lush spicy powder… one girl’s meal. I feel good and grounded. I had to exercise certain kind of firmness this week. The art gallery wanted me to work more than possible within my comfort zone, and in regards of our life expectations as a couple. So my boss and I parted our ways. In mutual respect. Our needs just weren’t compatible. I feel proud of the solid mental strength I was able to adhere to. I pondered, asked entourage’s advice, made my decision and stuck to it. For someone having difficulty with setting limits as in what is and isn’t okay for me, this is a wondrous step.

So now all exciting career doors are open again. I have already contacted the company I used to work for in Paris, and hopefully some English-teaching gigs will soon be hoppedy-hopping my way. That would be a lovely, solid base. I do love inspiring people to find the joy of learning new, and most of all, in doing so increasing their thirst for life. I can do this, I am capable, my life is precious… this is “the sentiment” I long to trigger.

In addition, I am playing with the idea of making a living as an artist. I have to look into the best channels of finding buyers for my work. Realism. Money is needed to feel sweet and safe. The third idea is life coaching. Many of my close ones have waved this idea at me. “Susa, you’d be a great life coach”. So what if now was the time to plunge in? A new country, some new career turns? I will have to consolidate and further study that idea as well. I have a connection with someone in the field. You do know, right, that if you want to get somewhere, find a person who is already there and then try and learn as much as you can from them.

New winds. Big choices. Everything has to be made with care. Dreams as my guide – reason as my safe place. What do you think of all this?

Girly Cocktails – Fashion Dust

Here is my newest creation Fashion Dust Cocktail – a dose of vodka, some pink Crush cream soda (in Europe you could use Sprite) and a girly touch with a cocktail stick through a marshmallow and a jelly bean. The drink is sweet, yet the vodka bites off some of the tang. It is light-spirited, giving you the welcomed January jump. I accompanied my snow white Cosmo with some marinated mushrooms and other dipping veggies. Several wheat thins and pickles were also seen on stage.

Did you watch the Golden Globes? I did and savored the glamour and joyous moments. It is a quality being able to rejoice for others’ success and sweet moments. Jealousy is the core of a lot of mental bugs. Eating disorders can stem from feeling inferior – fatter and less of a success. Yet if I find true love in me, I am confident that this is my special being. The way I look. My forms and curves. My unique shape.

Let’s encourage people around us to be themselves. Inside and out. Rude and pushy remarks serve for nothing. Only positivity will change the world. One cocktail at a time, we can celebrate life and each sweet other. I love you, loves! Mushy mushy, I know.  But hey, this is my blog and that is Me!
