Fall Chick Event

-

Fall is finally here and that means apple cider, camp fires, pumpkins, and festivals. This past month we went to one of our favorites, the Chick Event. This year it took place at Johnson Farms in Belton, Missouri; they are also a pumpkin and garden center. Chick Event is a pop-up market of vintage and handmade items based out of our neighboring state, Leawood, Kansas. They do many events throughout the year throughout Kansas and Missouri. We like going to their events to get great deals from local artists and not only that but you also support local artists. 




Launderette Numbered Style is one of our favorite small businesses because they have such a great story. Their necklaces and bracelets all have a vintage laundry pin with so much story behind them. It takes up-cycling to a new level. Rosie bought a beautiful double necklace with a flower and a vintage laundry pin. 



If you're big into natural jewelry, then Didericksen Designs earrings are for you. I have a few of their round wooden stud earrings and love them. They let all different kinds of wood speak for themselves. 


Tammy Smith Design


Tammy Smith Designs is one of our favorite local artists with her iconic hand drawn tea towels, cups, and art prints. It doesn't matter where you're from; there is a handmade print for your home state.

Urban Smirk


Urban Smirk doesn't have just ordinary kitchen towels; these are cute quirky message towels. Spice up your kitchen with one these like I did!

Marigolds Food Truck

I was still doing Self Health September at the time, so I didn't get to have a sugary frozen apple cider. This food truck has great healthy food options without cutting out taste. These Korean beef lettuce wraps really hit the spot. 

Willett Studios


Willett Studios earrings are so cute and the median used to make these earrings make them unique. My favorite one would have to be the cheeseburger earrings, but I also love that she does seasonal earrings too.

Blairfully Made


Blair is a young freshman girl with such amazing talent. These beautiful drawings of Kansas City buildings really shows what great work she can do. 

So be sure to watch the video and be sure to check out the links so you to can support your local artists. Be sure to subscribe for more videos like this one.

Self Health September | Spin Class

So these next five days seemed harder than I thought they would be. I started having less time to make a full breakfast so I started the smoothie era. Tried cooking my own spaghetti, which didn't turn out the way I would have hoped. Saw a little moment of me editing and putting up the first of Self Health September videos and blog post. Still working out at home either in the morning or after work, which I was working towards doing different workouts.

Solar Eclipse Path of Totality 2017

Last Monday I got to witness being in the Path of Totality Solar Eclipse. This might be the only one I will see in my lifetime and some people go their whole life never seeing one, so I felt very lucky and wanted to share it with the rest of the world. Not the best shot of it but it is my experience. I sadly had to work this day, so I was not able to go to one of the many Solar Eclipse Events happening around town. Being in Kansas City made it a little bit harder to see it in its full beauty. So amazed by the amount of people who stop everything they were doing to watch this Eclipse.

It's that time again. Kansas City Fashion Week is back for their 12th season and in full swing with Spring/Summer 2018 shows. We kicked it off with the Garden Party held at Van Noy Mansion . This is where they had the kick off party last year as some of you may know by following us. The beautiful mansion had a flower wall in their entryway for the perfect photo backdrop. The photos were taken by Chuck Mason , a portrait photographer based in the Kansas City Metro area. They had a massive tent set on the lawn by the small pond to the side of the mansion, all wonderfully decorated by Events by Reagan and flowers from Hyvee . The DJ from Icon Event Group , was setting the party vibes.
