To kick off the holidays, I invited friends and family out to Your Pots Desire— one of those trendy pottery painting studios. Random? Yes, totally. But my sister put me on and sold it when she said that we (1) get our very own space to fraternize, (2) get to bring our own wine and snacks, and (3) get to be creative and paint ish. Please and thank you. Per our usual, we shut it down… literally. We were the last to arrive and last to leave and in the meantime, smashed hot wings and talked ish while Boogie went gorillas. Can’t take ’em no where!
Here’s the view–

Yep, that’s fried chicken.
Unfortunately, Your Pots Desire is going out of business, but there are several similar venues in St. Louis. If you’re interested, check out Baked Goods Pottery and Painted Zebra.

I love the family photos and Gia's t-shirt! BTW, I thought your husband look like Jay-Z's much cuter twin, too! He looks like him around the eyes. But, I think your husband is much better looking than Jay-Z. LOL! 😉

You better work Nik! Love the outfit and hair!
CN this looks like so much fun. I love the idea of getting the family out and having fun, last week while visiting my home town my fam did a bowling night.
Any who on to you. How in the world do your hair to look so moist. No matter which style you do it's always looks so healthy and shiny. And I concur with @Motherertha where the heck is your modeling contract because your gorgeous these new hair styles your rocking really show off your features. Keep it up Diva
Cute!
What did you use for your twistout?
Such a novel idea! I'm definitely plan to find a similar place here for my husband and I. Looks like you had a blast and you looked good too!
I wish I could get my family out of the house for something like this! The pics are beautiful Nikki, thanks for sharing!
Pacsun? Really? Who knew. U look beautiful!
Thanks ladies!
@mothereartha, got me over here blushing 😛 Thanks chica 🙂
@ miss medi, yes! Check out Pacsun, especially this weekend… They've got buy one get one FREE denim and jeggings. I went bananas up in there. It's kind of a skater store, but they have some cute pieces… I bought 3 sweaters for like 8 dollars each!
@anon, it was that same twist-out from yesterday's pics, but i threw it up in a high bun (nothing fancy, pulled the length through a goody band once and halfway through the second time and fluffed) instead of the pinup.
@anadion, I took pottery in high school and forgot how much I enjoyed it! It would've been a very relaxing experience had Gia not been trying her best to tear the place down!
Find a place like this in your town! We had so much fun!
I know exACTly how fun this is: I've been taking ceramics throughout high school and it is an amazing experience!It's also the best art form for those of us (such as myself) who have let our drawing skills go to waste.
that does look like mucho fun. cn, you are such a pretty lady. your cheekbones are so striking. they say "i should model" 🙂 anyway, love the family outing. i wish my family wanted to be more active and try new things. i'm going to google places in my area. thanks for a great idea.
Cute outfit on both you and Boog. Never even thought of hitting up Pacsun…hmm…lemme go take a gander lol.
Your hair looks so nice! How did you do it?
That looks like so much fun!
I'm digging that shirt from Sweet! I want one! Are those puffs?!
Seems like fun! Wish we had something like that down here in the boonies! -_____-
you look so pretty!!!
