STAY COLD + FLU-FREE: PART 1

HEALINGMelissa RousseauJanuary 17, 2014
. sun shield . feeling the shifts after only a few days of increasing my hydration . to name a few | sleeping a bit better, headache and neck ache is gone, brain feels clearer, joints slightly more fluid . looking forward to even more shifts as I continue . so I had many questions about how much water/fluids I am drinking . instead of sharing that (because I’m also doing a lot of sauna, etc) I will share that you want to ideally be consuming 1/2 your body weight in ounces . and then increase from there if you exercise, drink caffeine/alcohol . living in the desert you want to be drinking about 100 ounces . and I add electrolytes and minerals as well to balance ..
. color play with hibiscus, rose, loose pigment and watercolor ..
. I am embarking on a hydration experiment this week . and there’s no better place to play with that than in the desert . I am going to try and double my fluid/water intake everyday for the next five days . last time I did this the differences were unreal . very excited to share the results with you . does anyone want to join me? ..
. I used to thrive during my east coast summers . cold salt water plunges infused my life force . summers in the desert not so much . it feels like a full time job just staying hydrated . I feel shriveled up like our fig tree leaves . I am very, very excited for Fall . but until then I am continuing a sometimes twice daily slathering of fresh aloe and my homemade oils, giving myself constant spritzes of refrigerated rose water, applying daily avocado face masks per my friend Negin of @justbeskinline, hydrating my parched locks with @latierrasagradahair love, drinking hibiscus and lemon balm infusions, sitting in cold comfrey and mineral salt baths, and wandering around in my @shoparq undie sets ..
. when your head is really confused and overwhelmed with thoughts and worries but everything that pours out onto the canvas makes perfect sense . . . . . . #thewayartistscommunicate #contemporaryart #abstractpainting #arttherapy #plantdye #meditation #love
The look he gives us when he asks to go outside and play with his friends and we say no because they are coyotes .. . . . . . #chagawolf #desert #mojavedesert #desertliving #desertlife
. I am so in love with the textures I am able to capture when I paint on wood, it just holds the paint in the exact way that I want it to . this very special piece headed off to a very special person . puerh + chrysanthemum tea . calendula . turmeric . cinnamon . watercolor . acrylic . pigment dust on wood panel .. . . . . . . . #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #abstractpainting #mixedmedia #watercolor #plantdye #meditation #interiordesign #interiordesigner
. when we moved out to the desert two years ago I thought I landed on another planet . and even now this place finally feels familiar and like home but still constantly otherworldly .. . . . . . #desert #mojavedesert #desertliving #desertlife #beauty #beautyiseverywhere
. my love started building our backyard oasis and surprised me with this sweet space . I’m thinking this will be the ice bath area and then we’ll have the slightly larger pool in front ..
. this 42” x 50” piece was originally painted to hang vertically, but we decided to hang it horizontally to align with the couch a bit nicer and I still love it . so whoever this beauty ends up with gets to choose whatever works best in your space . and we finally put some extra lighting in as well thanks to this seagrass chandelier from @acme5yuccavalley .. . . . . . #contemporaryart #abstractpainting #plantdye #interiors #interiordesign #homedecor
. one of the most special commissions I’ve had the honor of creating to date . for a little girl, to go over her crib, and grow with her on her life journey . and to fit in a frame her grandfather made . all beautifully envisioned by her mum . total heart bursting here . with puerh, hibiscus, cinnamon, watercolor, + acrylic on raw linen .. . . . . . #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #abstractart #plantdye #color #colortherapy #watercolor #interiordesign
. feeling it all . who else is with me ..
. detail . WHEN RAINWATER LANDS ON EARTH | 36" x 24” . puerh + chrysanthemum tea . hibiscus . calendula . watercolor . acrylic . pigment dust on stretched canvas . available in the shop .. . . . . . . #artist #abstractart #abstractpainting #contemporaryart #plantdye #watercolor #interiordesign #sacredspace

. my mum’s birthday today . she now lives in the dots on my fingers after Sie tattooed her ashes into them for me . but this morning I got out some more of her jewelry to wear and some special pieces of my own that I know she’d want to borrow from me if she were here . I had made the leaf ring (in the second photo) for her as part of a 14k gold jewelry collection back when I was a jewelry designer . I now wear it everyday, among other pieces she gave me, and others that I have found along my way . loss definitely creates the most insane time warps I’ve ever experienced . it feels like just yesterday that she was with me . and I continue to keep her cell phone number in my phone thinking I can call her at any moment . I guess it brings me a tiny bit of comfort . but gosh I miss her every second of every day . happy birthday mum ..
