It's tamale day at Steff and Zak's house. It's not just how good they taste, the process of making them is quite fun as well. I am simmering chicken in herbs and spices in the crockpot and once its "pullable", it's time to shove that shit in some masa and cram into a soaked corn husk.
Work has been interesting. I'm learning to play the game. I'm not where i thought I'd be a year ago but I am coming to terms with it finally. We've been getting a lot of fun new shit in the department (which we are renaming Wellness) including nail polish, higher end facial care lines (looking into Mychelle, Oshuna, and Alaffia right now), tons of new makeup from Honeybee Gardens, Larenim mineral makeup (love love love it), BWC, and KMF.
Cristi and I are going to the Women's Herbal Conference and it sounds badass. Lynn Ellen decided that the coop can afford to get us a cabin instead of us camping in case of rain. We are doing plant id by land and water (in a sweet canoe) and there is lots of yummy vegetarian food, yoga, classes, crafts, drum circles, all that hippie shit. Can't wait until August!!
It's going to be a great summer. As long as i stay positive and don't let the man get me down.
