What's new with me! I'm whipping up a new batch of goodies! First time for the publics eyes.... my working space! LoL I would love to create a blog post going through step by step how I create some of my pieces :) Maybe sometime soon!

I've currently been working hard in Organic Chemistry as well as my job, it's tiring! But i've also started volunteering with the Arizona Animal Welfare League, what better way to give back to your community than helping out animals that don't have a home? :( I am also in the process of applying to pharmacy school and am expecting my PCAT results any day now... tell ya, checking the mail has never been so stressful!

Help me apply to Pharmacy school :) With this tough economy I have found it difficult to come up with the funds to apply to school. My goal is to raise the $270 it is going to cost me to apply to pharmacy school... if you can not donate directly that's ok! I'm also having 15% off my Artfire shop :) :) or you can help by word of mouth or just leaving me a friendly comment :) Thank you for everyones support!

Where did I go?

Oh there I am! :) 

Ok.... my health. So last Thursday I was driving home and had some visual disturbances. I was seeing flashes of light and had to pull over... my heart was pounding so hard and I swear I was about to pass out on the freeway! So I went to Urgent care and they told me I had PVC's premature ventricular contractions. Apparently these are pretty normal, but still they can be very annoying! So they suggested I go to the emergency room, so I did. The ER didn't think it had anything to do with my heart but that it was probably migraines with no pain! Go figure right? I had never heard of such a thing lol... so I got a catscan which I think was normal. All in all they said it could also be anxiety. 

So on Monday I saw my primary care Dr. who listened to my heart and said it skips a beat every now and again. True I can feel this and it's horrible! So she referred me to a cardiologist who I saw today. I told him everything that had happened and he basically said it could be due to low blood pressure. The blood doesn't go to my brain fast enough so that's why I often feel dizzy... also your heart can beat faster to try and pump the blood. So I'm going to try some pills for that and on the 23rd I'm going back in for an ultra sound of the heart and I get to wear one of those fancy heart monitors for 24 hours lol FUN! 

I also have abnormal urine again... which I swear I have ALWAYS had! I started thinking it was no big deal but my Dr. tested it again and said no... we may need to refer you to a urologist... Ok I really didn't think there was such a thing :) so I'm waiting on that. Doesn't it always just seem like a waiting game??

I also have been having headaches almost daily :( I think it's my job! Staring at a computer all day surely can't be too healthy. So we shall see. I'm sure I will be just fine, but I'll keep ya guys updated :)

I've changed my Etsy shop name and having a sale, stop on by :)

And I think I will reflect whatever I decide to do in my Artfire shop too.

Disneyland

Today is my last day of vacation :( I hate that I have to go to work tomorrow lol why can't I just stay home and twitter/plurk/forum/create/sleep in ect.... ahhhh wouldn't that be nice! 

I had the BEST time at Disneyland with my cousin :) He had never been! We went on Tue (my bday) and Wed (his bday) I can't remember the last time I've seen a kid this happy lol. I was REALLY sad to see him go home on Saturday but if we can get it to work he might be able to come back for the summer. Summer in AZ?!? Is he crazy!!!! Hehehe

I'm so fortunate to have made so many online friends lately! I've got such awesome people over at Artfire, great friends on Twitter, and I just joined plurk! If you have one and want to join me... Add me as a friend

In the last month I've been lucky enough to win 2 blog giveaways! WOOHOO, I can't even tell you how excited I was!

Sunday night

Ok so I just listed a whole bunch of new items on Artfire, I wanna see how they do :)

let me know what you think? I've listed most my resin pieces for sale ;)

LuvToSparkLe.artfire.com

So far I have got positive feedback about my name change from L0ve to Luv! Woohoo :o) And tomorrow is my last day off before another 40 hours of work, yuck!!! :p Oh well such is life right? And tomorrow I have my Dr's appt and I hope she has some result for me about my tummy. On Friday I had an abdominal ultra sound, and she did blood work last Wednesday, and tomorrow another test  but I at least hope she has some results. I'm going to get all better I know it! I'll keep ya posted :) I've seem to have had stomach problems my whole life :/

Does anyone else watch Flight of the conchords?!? Season finale was tonight and it was HILARIOUS! If you don't watch it.... seriously consider starting ;) Worth the laughs :) It's on HBO

Ok goodnight all!

Ok so I've decided to change my name, as you can see from my blog! :o) 

LuvToSparkLe

I was just afraid that the zero in l0veToSparkLe wouldn't be memorable later, I've had people come up to me at work saying they couldn't find me so I ask "did you use a zero?"  "Oh no" ?!? So I'm sure that would be a problem especially since a zero vs an "o" look so much alike. And I had thought I tried everything Love2SparkLe, ILoveToSparkLe yuck lol but never thought of LUV! How did that slip past me especially since I use "luv" all the time!?? :)

So I think now is the best time to change it, before I'm in too deep :o)

And Twitter and this blog let me change it without having to create a new account! So YAY!

Thoughts?

Oh I'm so excited for my Twitter friend isewcute!!! One of her items is in the shopping section of US weekly! Can you imagine?? How cool is that? :) Kudos to her! 

Here is her blog:

www.isewcute.blogspot.com

 and check out her etsy shop! It's filled with really neat things :)

Lately I've been really tired, lol sometimes I think I just work too much. Finally tonight I have finished my latest necklace woohoo! See pic below, it's a pink and black Swarovski crystal necklace, on sale now ;) lol! 

My birthday is in less than a week! I'll be 26 :o) man how time flys.... I'm super excited though cause I have some family coming in from out of town and I'm taking my cousin to Disneyland, his first time! He turns 14 the day after I turn 26 (we are super close) :o) SO excited. 

My MUST have bday present this year is this peaches and cream limited edition harvey bag OH YA! I got the limited edition cupcake bag for myself 2 bdays ago lol, who doesn't get themselved a bday present?!? But seriously if you haven't seen these bags they are the BEST! www.seatbeltbags.com

So, my friend at work and I have thought up a sweet necklace. We call it EnVy!!! It's made with Swarovski crystals and it's soooo sparkly :) I included the before and after pics, cause I really love to see what something is and what it becomes! :o)

Day 1 of my blog world!
