Me and My Family

I am a work-at-home graphic designer, love photography - and like to consider myself a world traveler. I live with my boyfriend and his son - basically step-mom - but I'm known as "risa" around these parts. It's amazing - we do everything together! And the little man is pretty much the star of any photography these days.

my business website: Luiso Art

my personal blog (I just started): A Day In the Life

my boyfriend's family's business and best place to buy seashells and beach decor: California Seashell Company

i volunteer for the ALS Association of Orange County - check out my new blog: Behind the Scenes Walk to D'Feet 2006

Our Loveable Lizard Rocky

Comment Published at 16:3316:330 comments0 comments84 Visits84 VisitsReport
Visit my personal blog to read about some of our recent adventures with our new pet - a Savannah Monitor Lizard.

Here is an excerpt:

For our little man AJ's sixth birthday this past November we got him a pet. Now, it's not your ordinary pet — since we our renting our house, the landlord said we couldn't have a dog (which would have been our first choice) or a cat— so we ended up with a Monitor Lizard, For those of you who don't know what a Monitor is, it's not your typical little garden lizard, this thing will grow up to practically be a miniature alligator.

Shameless Self-Promotion

Comment Published at 21:1221:120 comments0 comments222 Visits222 VisitsReport
I mentioned in my little bio, just briefly, and I've been debating how to tactfully and blatently self-promote on here. But, I do think some of you out there might be interested, so here it goes. California Seashell Company, based out of Huntington Beach, California - is my boyfriend's, uncle's company. Did you all follow that? It's really a family business and I've begun using my capabilities in design and marketing to help revise their logo and identity, start advertising and get them online.

The current site has been up for awhile and has just started taking off. And as the web world goes - we are currently revamping the site, which I hope will be up very soon. As we have SO MANY more items that aren't on the current site.

California Seashell Company has been around for over 20 years. They are one of the leading distributors for both wholesale and retail seashells and sealife on the West Coast (of the US). With the current trends of starfish and seashell decor, we've been doing great. Check out the site for all of your beach-themed decorating needs.

Seashells, sealife, and… everything beachy!

I'd also love to hear your thoughts... I've been toying with the idea and just haven't started it yet.... but look for the possibility of a "Decorating with Seashells and Sealife  Blog" coming soon.

(I'm sorry to say, for many of you Minti users out there, that we currently don't have international shipping available online. But, if there's something you're really interested in, shoot us an email and say how you heard about the site and we may be able to calculate the shipping and getting something off to you overseas)

Hope you don't mind my self-promotion here... thought it couldn't hurt!
