So, it's been almost two years since I last posted here on Little Luck Tree. I was always dreaming up posts, but then so much time had passed I started to feel like my next post needed to be, you know, <i>significant</i> and brilliant and totally on brand with my new career and perfect and...well...that was a lot of pressure.<br />
<br />
I kept wanting to find a way to make Little Luck Tree blend in with my new life, but I have finally come to a new realization: my time as a blogger is in the past.<br />
<br />
I am a 100% committed, full-time, professional, <a href="http://shannoncorbeil.blogspot.com/">working actor</a>. I'm also <a href="https://youtu.be/FvTq0KHWwIA">writing and directing</a>.<br />
<br />
In order to become the best story-teller I can be, I have to give this career my full attention. It's time to officially retire here at Little Luck Tree, which is bittersweet because blogging has introduced me to <a href="https://instagram.com/pinksuedeshoe/?hl=en">wonderful new friends</a>, inspired me, and challenged me in very fun ways.<br />
<br />
Thank you to everyone who has ever stopped by this blog--your support has encouraged me so much throughout the years!<br />
<br />
And if you're still out there and you want to continue to follow me along down this Hollywood road, big things are happening. <b>You can find me on <a href="https://instagram.com/shannoncorbeil/">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/luck_tree/">Pinterest</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfSoSZBqJLD7UzSift2Pl5A">YouTube</a>, and my <a href="http://shannoncorbeil.blogspot.com/">website</a>.</b> I hope you will.<br />
<br />
Finally, here's a little video I made for anyone who has ever been obsessed with a cat:<br />

Gold sparkly dress + overcoat (please let there be a coat check...) + comfortable snow boots / dancing boots. Also, a red lip. Obviously.<br />
<br />
I don't have any New Year's Resolutions this year. I kind of started mine in September: be mindful, be grateful, be calm. I am, however, very excited that I will officially be starting Project Life in 2014, which I hope will help me actively make more memories and cherish the little stuff in life.<br />
<br />
Wherever you are, thank you for sticking with me and reading my long-neglected little blog. I hope you have the Happiest New Year yet!!<br />

I love pumpkin bread so much. Like, so much. I like to make mini muffins and every morning I make a hot cup of tea and enjoy it with two mini muffins while I read magazines and cuddle under a soft throw. I highly recommend this activity for instant coziness.<br />

<span style="background-color: #f6b26b;">Ingredients:</span><br />
1 3/4 cup GF flour (I use <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000ED7M3Q/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=theadvofmat-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B000ED7M3Q&adid=0J8Y0PJK7FYYP82BT06X">Bob's Red Mill All Purpose GF Flour</a>)<br />
3/4 tsp Guar Gum or Xantham Gum (this may change according to the package directions on your flour)<br />
1 cup packed brown sugar<br />
1/3 cup vegan white sugar<br />
1 tsp baking soda<br />
1/2 tsp salt<br />
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice<br />
1 cup pumpkin puree<br />
1/2 cup Earth Balance, slightly melted<br />
1/3 cup almond/coconut/flax/hemp milk<br />
1/2 cup chocolate chips<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #f6b26b;">Directions:</span><br />
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.<br />
2. Grease your pan.<br />
3. Stir dry ingredients together.<br />
4. Add in wet ingredients.<br />
5. Fold in chocolate chips.<br />
6. Bake!<br />
<br />
For a bread pan, bake for 1 hour 5 minutes. Yields one loaf.<br />
For muffins, bake for 25 minutes. Yields one dozen muffins.<br />
For mini muffins, back for 20 minutes. Yields three dozen mini muffins.<br />
<br />
Store in an air-tight container for up to a week. Mini muffins can also be frozen and eaten later!<br />

Cool weather, soft layered clothing, and pumpkin spice lattes--it feels wonderful. It makes me want to curl up on the couch with a fluffy blanket and a good book.<br />

<br />
We just moved out of the city, and for those of you not in Los Angeles, it pretty much has one season all year: warm. So I'm looking forward to seeing some leaves change color, to cupping my hands around warm drinks, and to sitting around a warm fire.<br />
<br />
Happy Fall!<br />

Matt was able to keep his boy stuff on one side of the room, and I kept my girlie things over on mine. Our aesthetic was similar enough that the furniture and tech pieces tied the decor together. Add some fresh plants, and it was really nice and homie!<br />
<br />
Plus we always had someone to talk to about creative inspiration!<br />

Last year I posted a <a href="http://littlelucktree.blogspot.com/2012/07/ive-got-my-eye-on-you.html">wish list</a>, mostly because that's just what bloggers do, right? They post pictures of beautiful, inspiring things they wish they could have. I didn't actually think I would get everything on the list!<br />
<br />
It was too much! Too much love!<br />
<br />
So this year my list is a little bit different.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a1Y_hFNYnes/UfvZfyVUvwI/AAAAAAAADtY/z-5D2gWLjb4/s1600/Birthday.jpg"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a1Y_hFNYnes/UfvZfyVUvwI/AAAAAAAADtY/z-5D2gWLjb4/s1600/Birthday.jpg" width="490" /></a></div>
I don't know if you know this about me yet, but I love animals. I have changed my life to help better their lives and champion their cause. I just know in my soul that animals are special creatures, with little personalities and experiences. They deserve our compassion, kindness, and respect.<br />
<br />
Plus they're just so cute!<br />
<br />
So if you are interested in getting a gift (for me, for anyone!), these are my favorite causes:<br />
<br />
1. <a href="http://www.gentlebarn.org/donate/donate.html">The Gentle Barn</a>--Their mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and give sanctuary to abused animals. They have baby horses, cows, goats, birds, dogs, and more! You can sponsor an animal, buy bales of hay for food, or just make a donation. If you're in Southern California, you can also visit on Sundays!<br />
<br />
2. <a href="http://www.beaglefreedomproject.org/">Beagle Freedom Project</a>--This organization is run by amazing, brave, strong people who work to save beagles who have been used for animal experimentation in labs around the world. They heal them, take care for them, show them love for the first time, and find them forever homes. We adopted our own <a href="http://littlelucktree.blogspot.com/2011/12/what-i-wore-festive-scarf.html">Walden</a> from them. You can donate to help save other puppies, or even adopt a little love of your own!<br />
<br />
3. <a href="http://www.gocrueltyfree.org/shopper">Buy Cruelty Free</a>--It makes me so sad that companies will still do cosmetic testing on animals. It is cruel and unnecessary, and the only way there will ever be a change is if we show companies that we will not support their products until they are kind. Look for the <a href="http://www.gocrueltyfree.org/shopper">leaping bunny</a>, choose a cruelty-free product, and you will save lives! I can't think of a better gift.<br />
<br />
Alright, I'm getting off my soap box. Go cuddle a creature and have a wonderful day!<br />
<br />

<a href="http://www.thedrybar.com/">The Dry Bar</a> may be my new favorite place. Mimosas, massages, romantic comedys, and a gorgeous blowout? For $35? Heaven!!!<br />
<br />
It just felt very luxurious, and I kept wondering what I was supposed to be doing other than just enjoying myself...and it kept surprising me that <i>that was what I was supposed to be doing</i>. After so many projects where I have to do my own hair & makeup (and scout location and hiring a crew and and and), just being able to concentrate on my performance was such a treat.<br />

Every time we <a href="https://vimeo.com/38802755">make a movie</a> we learn so much and have a blast (at least I do--there's nothing I love more than dressing up in a costume and traipsing around the world). <br />
<br />
Our latest film is set in Ancient Rome, and I'm very lucky that I'm engaged to a genius, because Matt realized someone was auctioning off wardrobe items from the original series <i>Spartacus</i>. Thanks to our supporters on Indiegogo, we were able to purchase <a href="http://juvatfilm.tumblr.com/image/49363574028">really fantastic costume pieces</a>. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Yesterday we did our first makeup test--I think seeing a hint of what the film could look like really inspired us both.<br />

So I've been hinting at big things going on in my life, and one that I'm excited to share with you is a collaboration with Matt's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/mattsmacintosh">YouTube channel</a>. <br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="276" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/S4q_F2FDCkE" width="490"></iframe>
<br />
I'll be helping Matt create videos of tech products, photography, tutorials, and more. Creating videos and <a href="https://vimeo.com/38802755">making movies</a> is something I am very passionate about, and I'm excited to join the YouTube community! <br />
<br />
Here's my first video about the <a href="http://www.colcasac.com/">ColcaSac</a> Chevron Macbook Sleeve. Enjoy!<br />

the way, yard sales hosted by bloggers are genius).<br />

I'm teaching a dance class Sunday morning and I've warned my students that I will pinch them! Maybe.<br />
<br />
Also, looking back on past tutorials is kind of intense--I've been watching my taste and style slowly evolve away from what Past Me preferred. Does that happen to you guys?<br />

I threatened to never be her sister again if she didn't go with me, hair and make-up ready, so we could buy fabric and blog about it.<br />
<br />
Turns out, I didn't really need to threaten her with my big sisterly ways--she was in.<br />

My favorite store for fabric is <a href="http://www.lowpricefabric.com/default.aspx">Michael Levine</a>. There is <i>so much fabric</i> there. We wanted to go home with about eight thousand dollars worth of bolts and notions, scheming up the dresses and curtains and finery we could make. In the end we decided to stick with some throw pillows to get the hang of it (to be continued)!<br />

I am really, really content watching reruns on Netflix whilst curled up with my cat. But I have been trying to change that by going on mandatory adventures. And it has been awesome.<br />
<br />
This week, Forest and I took the metro to Downtown L.A.--it was the best. We started out with lemon cayenne shots at <a href="http://www.juicecrafters.com/">Juice Crafters</a> followed by crazy delicious shakes ("Talk O' The Town"--so chocolatey and perfect!!).<br />

Moving is one of the scary things we all experience in life (and it takes a lot of work). I put together a little housewarming gift for her and I thought I'd share.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4HYUkGMyrLo/URFR3bFEviI/AAAAAAAADiU/pt_i4NeyVmI/s1600/Housewarming+1.jpg"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4HYUkGMyrLo/URFR3bFEviI/AAAAAAAADiU/pt_i4NeyVmI/s1600/Housewarming+1.jpg" width="490" /></a></div>
I wanted to make it practical and helpful, so I tried to focus on the essentials that everyone needs (but that we sometimes forget to buy):<br />
--A set of 3 glass storage jars<br />
--Natural cleaning wipes<br />
--Meyer's dish soap<br />
--Striped party straws<br />
--Bag clips<br />
--Kleenex packs<br />
--LED flashlight<br />
--Nails<br />
--Lint brush<br />
--Gorilla Glue<br />
--Extension cord<br />
--Tape<br />
--Kitchen towel<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qwkayLf_4VM/URFR3gfLCWI/AAAAAAAADiY/Ul_IKgVtxxc/s1600/Housewarming+2.jpg"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qwkayLf_4VM/URFR3gfLCWI/AAAAAAAADiY/Ul_IKgVtxxc/s1600/Housewarming+2.jpg" width="490" /></a></div>
I tucked everything into the jars and tied fun ribbons onto them. I wrote her a love note, and slipped everything into a reusable grocery bag. Super easy, cute, and I feel confident she'll use everything in there. I did my shopping at Marshall's, TJ Maxx, and Target, so the total was less than $25.<br />
<br />
Have you given or received any cool housewarming gifts? I'd love to hear about them!<br />
