Renegade SF Winter 2013

I have not blogged much in the last few months, I apologize. I have had no motivation, no real aims or intentions for blogging as I work through my grief. However one of my goals in 2014 is to get back on track with blogging.

The weekend before Christmas (during winter solstice!) Matt and I stayed in San Francisco and hung out in the bay area. We went shopping, ate at some of our fave vegan places and tried new places. The high light was the Renegade Craft Fair (at least for me). It sparked some ideas in my brain, I got to see some friends and buy some fun stuff.

As you can see it was busy, my anxiety was pretty messed up during that weekend, all the crowds did not help.I always pick the best days to travel huh?

Some vegan beauty products I bought/shops I bought from were:

Fat and the Moon: Pimple Mud and Yoni Duster. Both items work great. The mask can be used as a spot treatment or a mask. I like the texture and the way it dries. The yoni dust saved me that weeken when I used disposable pads, I used a bit of dust on each pad and did not get heat rash!
Fanchromatic Nails: I liked how they featured standard and mini sized bottles of their polishes. I picked up Tar and Feathers - a bar glitter consisting of red, black and white - all my fave colors!
Cosmic Bath and Beauty: I am already a fan of the company so I had to buy something. Shop local even if you are 90 minutes away! I bought a cinnamon scented soap, it is so nice. After using it the smell travels through the house making me want snickerdoodle cookies and tea!

I could not leave Renegade without kitties! I always search for cute plushies and anything cat related. I scored a few new friends!

2014 - watch out. I have more crafts, vegan recipes, zines and cool stuff poppin' up on the blog! Get ready!

Getting Dotty With It

I keep getting wooden chopsticks with takeout. I wanted to use them for something and decided to try using one as a dotting tool. It works! Simple nails on a sunny day!

Recent Nail Polish Purchases

These are two of the cruelty free vegan polishes I bought last week. Not really my typical go to dark glittery colors but I was drawn to them because they are funky. I think both will go great with a coat of black or dark purple shatter on top. I think they could also go together sponged on in a swirly pattern reminiscent of Pucci.
First up is Julep's violet color named Anne. It is super creamy and pretty! It is part of this month's Maven box. If you do not have a Maven box - use the link provided to sign up. The polish and body care items are vegan - the lip glosses are not. If you get a month with gloss you can skip the month and even cancel before things are shipped out!

Next up is Zoya's matte neon green color called Mitzi - which I hope to get any day now. I am not a matte person but I think this would look cool with shatter polish over it! It is fun and funky! A pop of bright color over my black wardrobe!
