I Need To Write

I am so so so very apologetic for the radio silence.

I have obviously not written anything on here for months- and honestly, I haven't wanted to up until this point. I was not happy with where the blog was going.

Too many pictures, not enough words. I am a writer.

So from this point onwards, I will be cataloguing my life for you; all of my little discoveries and pleasures. Maybe even magnificent tales of sorrow (okay, probably not) - but who knows? Maybe a little romance?

Music, food, health & school. (And the most important- family & friends).

So for now, I'll leave you with xs and os while I change things up a bit.

I haven't got much to say today! I'm just really full of love and appreciative of what I've got. In particular: my family, my friends, my good health, the opportunities I've got, the safe place I call home. 

Going back to the rustic interior design that I can't seem to get enough of lately- a farmhouse sink! Doing dishes would be a whole new experience. 

To read. Although any book of hers makes me cry, Jodi Picoult's 'Plain Truth' is next on my "to read" list. 

I need an excuse to buy this... Available @Urban Outfitters 

"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" - Gandhi 

It is so easy to spew out wisdom and quote the wisdom of others. However, it is so very difficult to practice what we preach. I can only hope to start being wise instead of acting wise. 

Going out and partying is overrated. Okay- it's hella fun. But the best nights are the ones where you're with the people you love- doing something simple, like playing scrabble. (Even if you always lose!)

I'm a big believer in the Oxford comma. It makes a world of difference. 

I love getting in my car, putting on music, and driving. Gotta drive: Highway 1, CA.

While we're on the topic of driving... Vintage Mercedes, anyone? What a beaut. 

And while we're still discussing driving... Vespa, anyone?

Vintage Ray-Bans - "Gatsby" 

IF ONLY. 

That's enough for right now, I think. I shall catch up with you so soon! HUGS & SO MANY KISSES. 

Musings

I've finally made the much anticipated move into my apartment!

Yes. It was EXTREMELY weird at first. But I'm warming up to it!

Shoebox lids covered in wrapping paper. Affordable decorating at its finest.

Multnomah Falls, Oregon

Meryl Streep. Every actress can only dream to accomplish what she has (including me!) She's versatile and just beautiful.

Butcher Block countertops. I waaaant oneeeee. (Maybe in the next apartment)

Hehehehehe.

Giant Jenga... definitely trying this at my next BBQ (which will probably be next summer)

Cute + easy dessert idea - strawberries filled with cheesecake mix topped with graham cracker crumbs!

Who's to say this was merely just a coincidence? I bet it was all planned.

Wine bottle corks with the date/event written on them. Doing this from here on out!

Well, here's to good memories and new ones to come! Post again soon, xoox.

I hate goodbyes. 

A cute save the date, it reminds me of one of the people I worked with this summer. Annie, if you're reading this- this is totally you! 

To all my ginge friends - Listen to your king. 

I miss this show. (For those of you who don't know, these are the "Lost" boys) 

Ehehehehe.

Mangos. Yummmmmmm.

Stay organized. It helps.

More to come.. sooner than you think!

I'm not a wedding fanatic, believe me. But if I were to have a wedding dress, this would be the perfect back. 

Nautical. Such a fan. 

I use this every day. It's so helpful. 

Sea Glass. So pretty. And a wonderful colour scheme for any room.



That's it for nowwwwwwww.

Byeeeee mwaaaaah. 

A little bit of hilarity.

Tried to keep the posting light today! I'm feeling awfully chipper and I thought I'd share that with you. 

I know, it's not funny, it's actually kind of creepy. But he is SO GOOD LOOKING. I can't help it. Droooooooool. 

Anyone who is a sister automatically giggles when they read this. (Because it is TRUE!)

Kids these days.

DIY: White sharpie magic. Officially my next project for zee apartment. 

I'm sorry I didn't have more to share! I'm in a bit of a rush. XO.

Have you ever felt pigeon holed? Or just completely caged? I feel that way sometimes, in particular, when it comes to my art. I love art. I love to draw, paint, act and dance. But I feel like my professional life doesn't permit me to do those things. This year, my goal is to make time for those things.

I think if I don't, I may lose my mind.

This is a beautiful room! It would be perfect for curling up with a cup of tea and reading a book.. 

I will be that woman. 

Must visit: The Dark Hedges, Ireland (yes, it is a real place) 

It's pretty much what I think every time I turn on or turn off a light. 

"Rejoice with your family in the beautiful land of life!" - Albert Einstein 

Must visit: The baths, Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands

Matte nailpolish! That seems pretty neat to me!

Dream kitchen. 

Must Visit: Horsetail Falls, Yosemite - every year for a few days, the sun's angle is such that the falls look like they're on fire. 

Hi. 

I want everyone reading this to find a girl or woman in their life, turn to them and say ... You are beautiful, truly beautiful-on the outside and inside. Believe me, we need to hear it every so often, or we forget.
