I was in Chicago a few months ago. I spoke in the ACA PCA conference. It was my second year with that particular conference.



I did some Chicago videos, I'll link them in the caption of the bean on the right.

 I've been playing a lot of shows lately.

Working on a split EP with my friends in Heavy Boots.


I'm stoked on what I'm doing, so here's a few places you can find my stuff:

Annnnd, oh my goodness, this home decor photo I saw on designsponge.com. My two bestfriends are straight males, but they both are really into home decor. It's awesome. Yesterday Erik and I were driving around the really nice neighborhoods in Fort Worth pointing out things we liked about each house. 

I've also been kind of lustfully looking at a lot of reviews on Benefit's eye cream.

Rainy Day Post.

I was going to film a collective haul today, but the weather has been so terrible that I can't get good lighting. :(

SO, INSTEAD, here's one of my recent stop motions:

Song: Brave by Our Lady.

It's  probably better that I wait anyway because I still have like an order from sigma and an order off amazon that should be here sometime this week.

I hope ya'll are having a wonderful Monday!

Love, Noralee

non-beauty related post, #2

I swear normal posting will resume once I take my last midterm this week. College is stressful this time of the year. Maybe I'll do a college-y post about how I get prepared for midterms or something to that effect. Hahah.

The other night I went to dinner with my friend Erik at Waffle House like always. We were doodling on the napkins while we waited for our food, when Erik popped his head up and said, "you want to paint?" I didn't quite comprehend, so he further went on to say, "like.. you and I? collaborate. let's paint together. seriously." So, after we got our food, ate, talked, we stopped by my place, I grabbed my tackle box of art supplies, and my ukulele for good tune-age, and we went over to his place.

Here are the photos:

and here is what we created.

Erik did the background with oil paint and watercolor.
And I did the female body.. I based it off another drawing I'd done in one of my sketchbooks. It is green paint, and then charcoal built up a pretty ridiculous amount. It turned out pretty awesome, I think.

Anddd, below are a few photos of Erik & I:

 Mr. Erik-pants. ;p

 annnd, my dirty charcoal hands. ;p
