MY FIRST CROCS



So ive been bragging about these since i got them because no one likes crocs, and its funny.... i like them, they're comfortable, so for a while ive been eyeing these and wasn't sure if i wanted to spend the 50 dollars for them, but the reason i wanted them is i did not have any everyday shoes... as in when you need to do a quick errand i didn't have shoes to wear only running type shoes and dressy shoes... so i said.. whatever.. ima get them.. and i chose the platform style... at least they seem more stylish than the originals.... and i didn't know crocs had so many styles! 

These are the Crocband Platform Clog
i chose the black ones because well, black basically goes with everything.. 





 i bought some Doctor Who buttons for them (from Amazon) and they're the cutest things ever! unfortunately this pack didn't have the 12th Doctor (my favorite)
but this pack included, The 10th and 11th Doctor, a Dalek, a weeping angel and of course the star of the show and my favorite "character" the TARDIS.....




Now, when i say these are comfortable.. they are COMFORTABLE... listen, ive boughten some knock off crocs when i was younger, i found some at the drugstore for less than 10 dollars and they're were some green ones and i loved them! they were so comfy which now im thinking its probably the same thing without the logo name ... anyways.. these were a bright neon green ( they were the only ones they had and had no other color choice) and since i didn't know about the buttons back then i weaved a see through fabric on it and let me tell yah.. i looked fabulous! wore them for years and eventually my parents used them as actual garden shoes (a lot of people referred crocs as garden shoes) and at some point we wore them to death until they split open on the bottom... i was sad, because you'd only just slip them on and go and the comfort was there.... 
With these new ones im just reminded how awesome it feels to have these on my feet
they're light, comfortable, cute, you can customize them... like, how could you not?
my taste in fashion/style varies... and so i don't stick to one style and im very versatile with it... 
like i said the platform feature on these makes them more stylish, 

also want to mention .. since im pretty hefty i was quite concerned how long they'd last being unsquished and have visible creases on the white band on the back and sides but i realized that the white band around it isn't fully supporting you, the croc has a part in the bottom that fully supports you without letting the white band (platform) being squished and letting it be noticeable over time (if that makes any sense)

okay! thats it on my new crocs! there's so many styles on the website! but i think i'll stick with these right now! i absolutely love them!  in the future you will see how i style them with my clothes! 
Thanks for reading!

Getting back to Photography



Im not going to sit here and say im a photographer or have any photography skills,
but Photography is such a relaxing hobby i picked up a few years ago, and somehow i stopped taking pictures all together... i and think i want to get back into it! 

But i want to learn how to take portraits and try to get some photoshop skills! 
i want to add some special effects on some pictures and i think that would be rad! 
but of course for now i will take nature-y pictures as its easier.




as you see this Hummingbird, they've been visiting us quite often, so i decided to refill the water nectar for them to take, (as you can see ants love it too) and im just so stunned how they aren't afraid if you get close to them, i had time to run upstairs to get my camera, went outside but it wasn't there anymore so i decided to wait for about 4 minutes and it came back and took another drink, and i took some pictures and you know the DSLR cameras has a shutter sound and it did not frighten them at all.. one even just floated around facing me wondering what i was doing... and they kept drinking.

Typically Hummingbirds eat 5-8 times per hour since they flap their wings 80 times per second and they need to refuel often, many say Hummingbirds hardly stop flying but the ones in my backyard i always see them perched on the trees taking long rests, gives us the chance to see them up close! 




Taking pictures up-close seems quite easy, as im an amateur i dont know proper photography rules or skills but i like how some of my pictures comes out, i took this pic of my Succulent in my yard right after it rained.

i do slightly edit these pictures with the Afterlight app on my Phone, i transfer them from my camera to my phone to edited them quicker than on the computer and i love the end result, 
next thing i want to learn how to take pictures of myself, since soon i want to make fashion posts i need some pictures of me to be taken, ive tried asking family members to help me but they really dont know how to take shots like i want them to so i guess homegurl needs to learn how to pose and shoot.. WHICH also i need to learn how to pose omg im THEE least photogenic person alive... 

anyways.. sorry for this least exciting and short post, i had no time to write something else, ive been knitting like crazy and working on custom orders for my Etsy shop... but next week might make a fashion post... i dont know... i'll try... haha anyways here's some pictures ive taken ...











My Dogs are my best models
