I had a week where it seemed that every time I left my house I came across some type of eye rolling ‘really’ moment. Usually I’m lost in whatever song is playing on the radio, but this day I was driving down a not particularly busy neighborhood street, when I saw a young ‘lady’ flouncing down toward the main drag. At first I thought I was interrupting a music video, so I slowed down checking the surroundings and to watch this young woman do this deliberate cat walk/Rihanna, heel-toe, line up the knees, strut. Even more glaring was the tangerine tanga shorts she had on. I had to commend her for having the perfect apple bottoms to rock them, but it was 2pm and when are tangas NOT underwear? Anyway, she coordinated with matching heels and to top it off her blond dred locks bobbed in two sloppy piles as though she were channeling her inner Basquiat and Coolio, but still deliberately styled as though trying to pull off the cute Mickey Mouse ears. She had what appeared to be an infant’s tank top on, with contrasting black bra. Her arm was flailing as she spoke on the phone, seemingly oblivious to the traffic piling up around her. I can’t say if she was ‘working,’ but even if she was-really? Two o’clock in the afternoon? Like that? It was so Julia Roberts ‘work it, own it,' I really should have offered her a red Tootsie pop and a bus stop to complete her look. Really? 2pm?

Multi Tasking!
There is so much information out there that you can literally spend three days a week just reading. Which leads to information overload: is it relevant to the business? is it quick? is the follow up cheap? Can I do it? or will I have to hire someone else to do it?
It has been challenging operating a business on a shoestring budget and running a household. Between "information overload", ironing the "soulmate's" shirts, cooking for the little one, AND working on the website who has time for anything else?!
Well apparently Haitianista does!
Signed up for a two day conference of the Women's Success Summit this week and to top it off we have booths at two different events! How is that for multi-tasking?
On Saturday, from 10 to 5, we will be at the Arboleda Fest in the Design District, AND at the IMade2011 Fair at Century Marketplace. On Sunday, we will be at the IMADE2011 Fair. Check us out on Facebook for details.
We will have beautiful handmade jewelry, beaded clutches, sandals, statues,all one of kind pieces perfect for presents. Hope to see you at either events! and if you happen to see me nodding off just bring me some Haitian cafe!
