I Dream In The Colors of The Sunset: things I'm in love/obsessed with

It's Wednesay and here's some things I'm liking....

I like the cotton candy pinks and pastel turquoise colors of the sky in the desert at sunset.
I like that my closet looks like someone who's style is all over the place.
I like being all over the place.
I am totally in like with this song and have listened to it 8 times in a row:

Echosmith -  Cool Kids



I am in love with this shade of "faded denim/stormy ocean sky" blue hair:

I am slightly in love with everything from Free People, and I wish they would want me to be their fashion ambassador and send me their clothes to wear! ha ha ha ha

And I love all these things and wish I had them to go walking around the desert, not practical, but it'd make for cool blog pictures:

Leather Fringe Poncho... I am semi-obsessed with kimonos and things with fringe.

HAT: brown felt hat, you know me and my love for hats.

OFF THE SHOULDER SHIRT -

you know I've been rocking the off the shoulder shirt, since my tutorial back in 09'... does anyone remember this video:



FRINGE MOCCS - Here I go with the fringe again.... but I love moccasins:

Romantic Gladiator Sandals anyone:

And I love this necklace..... "I keep a close watch on this heart of mine" - Johnny Cash...
because everyone needs to keep a close watch on their hearts....
I saw them on etsy from Natashaaloha

Seeing this, makes me miss when I made jewelry, makes me miss when I'd spend days just making things...jewelry, painting, furniture.....oh the moments when time has no meaning because you love it.

And my JULY FAVORITES is up if you missed hearing my voice say my favorite things out loud, there's some fun stuff in here, please for give the loud music, I had no idea:



Happy Wednesday....
Hope this adds some sparkle to the middle of your week, and it's National Hot Dog day.....
Hot Diggity Dog, your friend, Kandee

4 Tips On How To Get Kardashian Level Likes On Instagram

I love Instagram, I love looking at other people's instagram pictures, it's just fun and I keep up with my friends lives via Instagram.

But how do you craft the perfect picture to get you into Kardashian level likes....

well, this is just my theory, using my own AWESOME, AMAZING, INCREDIBLE (don't you wanna go follow me now?!? Shameless plug for my instagram right here @kandeejohnson) as examples of my most popular pictures on the Insta....

AND MAY I NOTE, THAT NOT ONE OF THESE INCLUDES MY FACE OR ANY KIND OF SELFIE!

Feel free to regram any of these pics as long as you tag me up in there @kandeejohnson so I can go comment on it too!

#1. ANIMALS ARE ALWAYS LIKEABLE

I don't have any pets, so I just took a picture of my sister's Lionhead bunny, that had the most awesome hipster hair-do, I actually even regrammed this from my sister, Tiffany's Instagram, her pictures are hilarious.

LIKE COUNT: 204849

And people still like it all the time! 

Go cute bunnies!

#2. CUTE OR DISNEY THINGS
You mix cute and disney together and you've just baked a "likes cake"! Likes Ahoy!
This tea cup of Chip from Beauty and The Beast, just made me fall in love.
LIKES: 51475
(not Kardashian level, or even close to Bernard's picture, that was my sister's bunny's name, form ABOVE, but still pretty good!)

#3. Funny or Kids:
Again, you mix kids and funny...BAM! Ellie got into my Special FX stuff, and put these on and cracked me up and I thought it'd make others crack up too.
LIKES: 44,742
I mean, it's not lion head bunny pic of Bernard, but still my #3 most liked pic, and I love Ellie.

#4. THE TRIFECTA - CUTE, FUNNY AND DISNEY:
This picture of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, as Elsa and Anna, from Frozen, is cute, funny and filled with Disney. Voila you have my 4th most popular picture on instagram.
LIKES: 43,764

To summarize, selfie's are not popular, at least not of myself. Animal and kids slay it on instagram. So for the rest of us who's last sir name is not Kardashian or Bieber...here's to posting pics of animals and the Olsen twins.

And if you don't get any likes at all, who cares, it's just a like a cool diary and collection of moments, meals and things you like! Most celebrities just buy followers and likes to look more popular than they are anyway! ha ha ha ha ha ha 

Now go follow me on on instagram, or not, your home girl and insta-fan, Kandee

Come see what happens when a make-up artist, being me, forgets her all her makeup and she is flying there to film something, and I couldn't go without makeup:

Hey, I'm still here.....birthday lips and all:

I know, maybe 1 or 2 of you might have missed my blog posts....hee hee

So here is an incredibly imperfect "birthday cupcake lip art" I did for fun. Before anyone points our the obvious, yes, I know the lines are crooked.  But I still thought I'd share some unseen on instagram pics from my bday...

Me with a couple of "fanboys" on my birthday...ha ha ha ha

Ryan (Jordan's friend, me and Jordan)

And then these pictures were already posted on instagram, but here they are again:

The amazing and delicious flower cake my cousin made me...

The awesomest of awesome birthday sunglasses, that Sunstaches sent me, thanks guys!

And me and my mamma, who is the one who made my birthday possible, literally. Without her, I wouldn't have a reason to celebrate my birthday or probably even be here:

And 5 facts about my birthday-ness:
1. Best Birthday I ever had, might be when my mom made a Hula party and painted a giant monkey cut-out for your face to replace his and take pictures.

2. Worst birthday, ummmmm after I thought about it, I'll just skip it, because it's depressing to think about. ha ha ha

3. Birthdays are great because each year you get wiser, stronger and just better....like antiques or wine, you just get more valuable and awesome.

4. Tom Hanks also share my birthday.

5. And this is not the same Hula Party, but as you can tell I had a fondness for Hawaiian parties....just enjoy my stupid 12 year old, headband-trend and my sister making sure everyone Chills Out, in her shirt:

And I thought it might be fun to virtually take you all along with me on my birthday, so I made a video about it, come and see it here, and don't be fooled, that is not a bowling-stunt-double, that's me ha ha ha:



Huge hugs and so much love from my heart to yours, thanks for all your birthday love and making me feel loved and special, you guys all, mean more to me than I can even describe, you are my Kandee Family.
