I was grateful enough to come across the owner and creator of Camp Spin-Off, Tina T. Who has graciously offered this opportunity for you or someone you know to go to Camp Spin Off! This is such an amazing camp, if I was eligible I’d go! PLEASE don’t miss out on a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn to DJ with some of the industry’s BEST!

Camp Spin Off

Camp Spin-Off brings together 50 boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 17 with the common passion and desire to learn the art of being a DJ. The program is designed to bring all the elements of the DJ culture together in an outdoor environment. Campers are not only immersed in the culture but also experience an action packed week of traditional camp activities with their favorite DJ role models. The DJ community is unique in that, the “pioneers” of the art form are still alive.  Some of these very pioneers are scheduled to make appearances during the duration of camp. Confirmed heavy hitter DJ involvement includes but is not limited to, DJ Samantha Ronson, DJ Reflex, and DJ Spider. Camp Spin Off aims to give access to not only these pioneers, but also the proper DJ instruction and equipment, paired with a team-building environment in the great outdoors! Campers have daily schedules filled with instructional classes, electives, outdoor activities, practice time and evening events. Activities include DJ Instructional Class with The Scratch DJ Academy, Zip Lines, Climbing Wall, Skate Park, Swimming, Pool Parties, Dinner & A DJ, DJ showcases, movies under the stars, Skits, campfires, smores, and more…

Maybe I just had never had it because I would never order anything like this in my day to day routine, and on vacation I am much more adventurous and forgiving when it comes to my personal menu. Molten chocolate cake and ice cream. simple. divine.

I was able to find an acceptable form of this I wouldn’t feel terrible about indulging in and that’s the Fresh&Easy mini version of chocolate molten cake. small, but enough to share. 4 in a pack. no high fructose corn syrup and done in the oven in 15 minutes. Coupled with a little scoop of non-dairy coconut milk vanilla ice cream! holler! put a fancy spin on the ole favorite, it’s awesome.

1 cake = 450 calories [split it w/ur boo and it's not bad]

1 scoop = around 150 calories [almost half of a regular ice cream scoop]

I go through phases of collecting things. When I was younger it was sea shells, foreign money, and PEZ dispensers. As I got older it was baby pictures of all my friends, photobooth strips, and Nike Dunks. Now I collect moments. Moments in time that aren’t for purchase.  The smells and feelings or conversations felt while traveling overseas, laugh sessions so long they burn my abs and a space in my heart, and sunsets. Here’s to kicking off my sunset collection.

With a special nod to new family at Teruo Artistry.

This weekend I spent the day visiting my dogs, Ume & Bento. My parent’s weener dogs Sumo & Chorizo were there too. Sometimes you just need some weener in your life. In my case, Dachsund love is unmatched!
