Lightroom Presets Review: SleekLens Strike A Pose

May 1, 2018 by ginamizzoniWP

Well, hello there. Yes, yes, it’s been a while. It’s been a while since I last blogged (please don’t judge me; I promise I’ll do better). And, it’s been a while since I experimented with a new editing tool. If you have missed me, well, awww, I’ve missed you, too. I’m also excited to share […]

The Four Seasons of Self-Development

September 1, 2016 by ginamizzoniWP

With the exception of the many “Back to School Sale” ads on every corner, yellow bus sightings, flashing lights of school zones, and a few breezy, 90-something-degree days, there’s not much that indicates September has arrived in Las Vegas. But here it is – September 1st to be exact – and I find myself a little shocked that summer […]

Bohemian Home: Decorating on a Budget

June 20, 2016 by ginamizzoniWP

I was really proud to have accomplished one of my biggest goals for the year of 2015, which was to finally decorate our home. After living here for three years (now four), I decided it was time to make the changes needed for our home to better reflect our personality and style. And, fortunately, Dave was […]

Death Valley Pupfish: Living Fossils

May 26, 2016 by ginamizzoniWP

Living in the desert is a privilege. I’m often reminded of that whenever I go hiking or exploring in the expansive lands that surround our crazy 24/7 city. Outside the glittering lights and honking horns, life is quiet and serene… the landscape is breathtaking… and adventure abounds. The best part? You don’t have to travel very far at […]

Blogging Fail: Prisoner of Self-Censorship

April 5, 2016 by ginamizzoniWP

Confession: The voice of my soul has become a prisoner of self-censorship and, as a result, the amount of regular content I’ve shared on this blog has flat-lined to the point of nonexistence. When it comes to writing, I have allowed my inner critic to drown out my voice. By setting too many boundaries on […]

How Nevada Saved Me

January 21, 2016 by ginamizzoniWP

If you think there isn’t much to Nevada but 110 degree summertime weather, casinos and wide open desert, then you haven’t seen much. The Silver State is filled with an abundance of opportunities for adventure, never-ending wonder and inspiration.

Autumn is time for reflection

October 5, 2015 by ginamizzoniWP

October, man, you came fast! And, I’m starting to freak out a bit as I realize just how much is left undone. The clock is ticking and 2016 will be here before I know it. As I try to catch my breath, I remind myself that it’s okay. There are still two whole months […]

Astrophotography: Perseids at Great Basin National Park

August 21, 2015 by ginamizzoniWP

Disconnecting from civilization, and all 4G connection, for four days, three nights was just what the soul needed. Our recent trip to Great Basin National Park was exactly what I’d hoped for. Located five hours north of Las Vegas, off the Loneliest Highway, GBNP feels like it’s far from the rest of the world, and […]

My Most Formative Years are Happening Now

July 23, 2015 by ginamizzoniWP

Time. Nothing is more valuable. Not money. Not antiquities. Not careers. Not vacations. Not sex. Not fame. Not successes. But time. And, until quantum physicists prove otherwise, time is something we can never get back. Ever. Today, the Washington Post published an article titled, “Why half of the life you experience is over by age […]
