Let it snow



I miss the snow right after it's fallen. It's all quiet and everything looks serene. I miss snuggling into my sheets and watching TV on snow days. I'm missing the right coast.

Olivia Wilde




I don't care for most celebrities but I think Olivia Wilde is amazing. She's got the brains, style & beauty. I wouldn't mind walking around in her shoes for one day.

I wanna be a supermodel...



In the 90s I wanted to be a model so I could hang with these ladies.

Interesting concept. I could spend hours snuggling & napping in it!


I can picture myself in the kitchen doing some sort of cooking show. I could be the modern day Julia Child. I can't believe it's not butter or olive oil instead of butter :)

Daily dose of inspiration!

2009 wasn't a pleasant year for me. I made a promise to myself when I moved out of my last apartment that this was going to be my big change (That was in September 2009). I no longer was going to fall into old behavior patterns, making wrong choices & leaving certain things in the past.. in the past. I made those promises because I was cleaning out my last apartment and what I was coming across wasn't "me". At first I thought throwing away certain things would make me feel better (ex. my very heavy tv).. didn't work. I tried changing my hair color a month earlier (yeah, blonde was a poor choice).. that didn't work. I made a list of things I wanted to change in my life/things that needed to change. I spent a good portion of 2009 in a very dark place that wasn't healthy. I would never want to repeat what that feels like & I would never want someone else to ever have to feel like that. This is why I strive very hard every day to remain positive, thankful & always look at the bright side (even when it's hard). I'm leaving certain things in the past in the past. I'm forgiving people & forgiving myself. I'm accomplishing my goals. I'm striving to be a better friend, daughter, sister, etc. to those around me. I'm learning from my mistakes and not dwelling on them. Below are a few quotes that I find really inspiring and hopefully you will too. Lets all try to stay positive & learn to laugh at ourselves! :)


“There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.”


"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful." - Buddha


"The best relationship is the one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other"


"you only need a heart full of grace"


"The worst thing you've ever done, the darkest thought you've ever had, I will stand by you through anything"
(thats my favorite!)

Just a thought

Everyone now a days has a myspace, facebook, twitter, blog, etc. 90% of what people update their statuses/post about are their frustrations, insecurities or giving an in detail description of what excatly is going on with them. It got me thinking about why people feel the need for the world to know every detail of their lives. In reality most people don't want to read what you're going to do today in detail. No one wants to read about the text messages someone sent you. It's no fun reading how depressed you are or how insecure you are, etc. I've fallen victim to such behavior in the past. Every now & again I catch myself wanting to write something completely silly but I just stop. I like keep my personal life to myself. The world doesn't need to know my problems nor would I want the world to know my problems. It's much more enjoyable to read something funny & positive! Or better yet.. get offline for awhile & try something new! :)
