I was at work today doing 20 things at once, including tracking an Etsy package I was expecting any day now. Dude. Love the feeling of clicking on that tracking number and seeing "Delivered" pop up. Hells yessss!!!
If my blog title hadn't already given it away, lemme just say that I LOVE, with large capital letters, sugar skulls.
I majored in Chicana/o Studies in college, and even though I'm Mexican-American, I didn't know a lot about my culture before college. So what better way to learn than by majoring in the dang thing?! :-)
So I learned about the history of Mexican people in the United States,
Chicana/os, Xicana@s, and the like.
I really developed an interest in the tradition of Dia de los Muertos, and all that the holiday/day of celebration/remembrance involves. Including sugar skulls! Our kitchen is adorned with sugar skull decor and I always have an eye out for sweet sugar skull accessories, decorations, and well, pretty much anything!
If you've never checked out Etsy (how could that be possible?!?! lol) I would most def recommend you check out this dude- Jose Pulido. His shop's name is Mis Nopales Art, and if you like sugar skulls or Chicano pop art, you should take a look at his stuff! (Check out my Paul Frank Macbook cover in the background. Hehehe)
I ordered some postcards, stickers, and magnets that I'll use to decorate the kitchen and prob put in my office at work. A few months back I ordered some of his Star Wars calavera stickers and a couple of
t-shirts. The Pulp Fiction calavera shirt is my fave!!!
I have some pretty cool stuff in my kitchen that I will share soon!
