Interview With Artist Jennifer Volcy

Image
Photos Provided BY: Jennifer Volcy   Please share with my readers a little about yourself.           My name is Jennifer Volcy. I am a visual artist from Toronto, Canada. However, I am currently based in Southern California. I specialize in oil and acrylic portraiture. When I’m not painting, I’m busy being an attorney.     Tell me what inspired you to start doing art? ·         I have loved art my entire life. It was always my favorite class in school because I loved creating things. However, I started painting a lot more during law school. I found that because law school could be so rigid, I needed a creative outlet to balance everything else out.     How long have you been painting? ·         Since childhood. However, I started sharing my work publicly and selling my work around 2015.   In your opinion, what was the hardest part of putting your artwork out there? ·         Sometimes it can be a little nerve wracking because you never know how someone will react to your work.

Featuring Noodles Cafe in Montgomery Al: Review

Image
  Written By:Felecia Causey Photos By:Felecia Causey My daughter and I tried a restaurant in Montgomery called Noodle Cafe. First off, my daughter is a huge fan of noodles and egg rolls. We both enjoy trying new things. I mentioned this place to my daughter, after someone on social media had bragged how good their food was, so we gave them a try.  Well here at Felecia Causey’s Blog, I will give you “honesty”. It’s not to be mean or by in any way or form be biased. This is my experience. What I have learned from this experience is to untie the bag and check out everything before I leave the restaurant.  I know there are several people who A. Don’t play about their money B. Love good food. We decided to do a carryout order. We went inside which had a very unique decor. There weren't many customers inside. The cashier was very helpful and nice. She helped us as we made our decision on what to order. Unfortunately, the customer service didn’t match the food. We started off with the No

Review for King Neptune’s Seafood Restaurant in Gulf Shores Alabama

Image
Written By:Felecia Causey My son had a soccer tournament in Foley, AL, so we went about five to 10 minutes away to Gulf Shores to try a restaurant that we passed by while leaving the condo we were staying at.   My daughter and husband are really big on seafood, and since I chose the food the night before, I was a good sport and went to their choice of restaurant.   King Neptune’s Seafood Restaurant is what we call where I come from “a hole in the wall”. They had both indoor and outdoor seating available. We chose to do carryout, so we could cool off and rest before the next game. The person at the bar who took our order was very nice.  The host/waitress wasn’t too friendly.   My husband ordered a 12-shrimp platter with fries and hushpuppies.  My husband said it was really good.  The fries were cooked to perfection. They were hard and crunchy the way he likes them. My daughter ordered the shrimp tacos with a side of fries and hush puppies.  I was able to try a piece of the tacos.  The i

Mom's Looking for the Perfect Getaway

Image
 Written By: Felecia's Photography Good mothers are some of the most underrated people on Earth. What do I mean by some moms? A lot of women want the title of being a mother, but not the responsibility. It’s a 24/7 job. It’s hard to get away and have some me time, because moms, like me , are always putting the kids' needs and wants before themselves.  I don’t complain, because it's my norm. I chose the role and chose to give my all, even now they are practically adults.  Yes, I still fix them breakfast, make sure they have school lunches, and snacks before they attend after school activities, work, or sports. I do not have the layout of what the perfect mother is supposed to be and what they are supposed to do. I do know that moms sometimes need relaxation time. Most of us feel guilty that we should ask such a thing, but to be mentally healthy for those babies and mostly yourself you need to get away. When it comes to finally treating yourself, you are willing to sacrifice

Featuring Interview with Cake Designer Nicole of OKC Cake Lady

Image
Photos Provided By Nicole   Me: Hi Nicole! How did you start your passion for designing cakes and where are you located? Hi! I am located in Oklahoma City Oklahoma. I started working at a grocery store whenever I was 18 years old. I have always been a car Enthusiast and I had a mini truck that I was fixing up as a hobby. The grocery store manager asked if I wanted to work in the bakery to get more hours. Well, more hours equaled more money for my truck, and I kindly took them up on their offer. From there, I started in the bakery, and I absolutely loved it. I could not get enough of getting to create and putting smiles on customers faces. Me: What made you take a leap into starting your own business? I have always loved business. When I walk into other people's stores, I always look for ways to try to improve their store in my head. So, after working in the bakery for years I just knew that I could do this on my own and I would be a lot happier. I knew that being in my own environm
