The Small Things...

Currently Making Me Happy...

Zen

This quote has been playing on repeat in my head the last couple weeks. I'm halfway there- I know who I am and like who I am, but what I want is still taking shape and seems to change and evolve every few weeks...

Pinks N Purps

Really feeling pretty pinks and plums right now for feminine Fall vibes. Amethyst and rose quartz stones are the name of the game for me right now...

Get Happy

So I've started a new self-help, enlightenment journey that I have coined #happinesschallenge. Basically I got super inspired by a Ted Talk I watched a couple days ago and decided to take the bull by the horns and get happy. To train my brain to default to happy I will do the following for 21 consecutive days. Each day, everyday. No exception...

1) 3 gratitudes
2) Meditate
3) Exercise
4) Journal
5) Random acts of kindness

After 21 days of doing these things I will be a happier, more positive person better equipped to bounce back from disappointment and despair. Don't get me wrong, I'm already a pretty happy person- but, like anyone, I have my moments on the not so sunny side of life. Especially lately...life has been throwing some challenges my way and staying happy and positive has taken some work. I can't control much of the challenges and obstacles I face, but I can control how I react to them. I can control my happiness and I'm choosing to start by taking on the #happinesschallenge. Here's a pic of me looking all enlightened in Malaysia last year, seems appropriate here...

Back in The Saddle

That's right y'all. I'm back...

I'm officially ready to give this blogging thing yet another go. It's about dang time. I mean...it's been almost a year...

A lot has happened since we last met- I got married (!!), travelled to countries near and far, got a new job, and am currently in the midst of a serious quarter-life crisis (though I may be a little too old to really label it as such...)

In any case- things are a-changin' yet again in my life and I am ready for the next chapter. I'm no stranger to change so I'm ready to embrace it on move onwards and upward! Here are few shots of my desert wedding in May...

Doing Life Right

Too long, I know. I'm sorry. My pathetically unambitious goal now is to post frequently enough to avoid having to start each post with an apology. Let's see how I do. Been an eventful month for me. I'm no stranger to change, and I've got more of it coming my way very soon. More on that later. In the meantime, Here are some pics of what I've been up to lately...

Watching the Election results with by besties. Four more years!

Spectacle shopping with my handsome man. Aint he cute?

New logo idea, what do y'all think? 

A lovely afternoon on Olvera street with Danielle

As per usual, loving the F%@k out of my city. I mean...this is basically my backyard.

Have a great weekend! See you next month- just kidding. Let's hope next week :)
