Just some random things I found today-thank goodness for gogo wifi; 5 hour flight from Philly to SF turned 7 hour a little less unbearable.

I love both of these

New days

Whenever I am back in my parent's house I am flooded with all these memories of "what I use to do..." So  as motivation to change things up I have decided to try something new each day. So far-my mini resolve has motivated me to take more chances and meet some new folks; if that is not motivation what is. Cheers to breaking habits and changing outlooks.

spring project-for the past million years I have always wanted to  add molding and paint our closet doors. Perhaps posting this will finally give me some inspiration.

it has been a long day-

looking forward to better days ahead, for prime example my little brother, William's wedding in May.

I am responsible for finding a chic outfit for my  5'2 and 100lbs madre.


serious crush so far.

Cancun Sunset

Tulum, Mexico

Sea Turtle Sighting in Akumal Bay

Snorkeling in the Cenotes

My first time in Mexico but definitely not my last. Mexico had way more to offer than I ever expected.  

Whose in on the time share?

Now you are just somebody I use to know

Totally feeling this song lately-not really sure why

maybe it's because we didn't have a winter and so I didn't get to go in my cave and brood.

what did the bears do?

Simplify

In honor of one of my New Years Resolutions.


Simplification is simply a luxury not all of us have. I envy you.

nali nali

Last week (in chronological order)

1.Found out one of my besties from work is leaving for a much better job and never to be seen again-literally cried for days

2. Officially found out I was going to China in January for work (don't fret people I will be gone for a week)

3. Started up my chinese lessons again-this time classroom style. I learn better when I am competing amongst strangers

4. Swish swish-had sprinkles on top of my green tea ice cream; something horribly wrong but kind of right with that combination.

5. Celebrated birthday dinner with the boyfriend at Mochica and was confronted by the host if I had a bloomspot or groupon .  I almost wanted to say yes-and  pondered what the deal could possibly be but 30 seconds later recoiled at how de classe I have become.

"nali, nali"-this phrase encapsulates how Chinese people are raised, instead of saying "thank you" after someone compliments you; it is more customary for the Chinese to say "nali, nali"-not really but thank you.  Sometimes it takes a Chinese class to teach this Chinese person about her culture and why I can't ever take a compliment seriously.

Laters peeps

face facts

I truly believe people with the best style are those who also embrace themselves for who they are and who they are not.  I think that the same outfit on the two girls who look pretty much the same can also look entirely different based on their attitude and personality.  Alexa Chung unabashedly admitted she just dresses "like every other hipster"-yes that may be so but she sure carries herself differently.

scraps

i am my biggest fan and harshest critic.  I know so contradictory but actually very true.  I am happy with myself but I know there are so many things to improve-but in the end of the day I can still go to sleep on my organic sheets sans satin pillow thinking "everything is ok, I am ok"

currently lusting after

took me awhile to embrace the rose gold and michael-now I love both.

see people can change.

Time

when you have time, how do you prefer to spend it?  

this weekend I caught up with some old friends-made some new and family-and ideal weekend for me. I do believe life should be schizophrenic at times.  It makes things more interesting.

How to love

See you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out
How to love, how to love
See you had a lot of moments that didn’t last forever
Now you in this corner tryna put it together
How to love, how to love




Nothing wrong with some Ligurian coast.  I am in love!  I can't wait to go back.
