gone are the days of (annoying) door to door sales people. but recently, my friends have been throwing these jewelry parties where a rep will come and set up jewelry to browse while we ~~sip~~ drink wine and eat gourmet candies. usually, i would only be going to have a plan on a lazy sunday, however, my friend gave me a pair of earrings that she bought for me after “instantly seeing (me) wear them” . and they were decently priced plus come with free repairs if they break, chip, etc. it’s gorgeous costume jewelry for great prices! so i can’t complain anymore, the sales reps are not pushy, the host gets 3 free pieces, and everyone gets satisfying amounts of sweets and treats before the work week begins.

next time you get invited to one of these ~~sales~~ get togethers (with alcohol), go! it’s a great chance to get some great jewels for great prices and chat with your girlfriends!

me wearing the new earrings from my dear friend, mandy. they have the david yurman style without the price tag! here is a picture of the actual earrings, but mine are amethyst!

it is most definitly here.

autumn. fall. harvest. whatever you call it, it is upon us. the 10 day forcasts for the north east finally remain in the 60’s and the humidity is at a standstill. gorgeous. pack those tanks, folks.. and hang up those sweaters :)

unfortunately, i have yet to figure out a Halloween costume. my goal is to have a better holiday this year than i have in the past (when is that not my goal) but with unfortunate events, i may be asking a bit too much. if i end up with a bag of candy corn, a lap full of chocolates, and hocus pocus on the television, i will not complain, that is also quite a nice night.

october + pumpkin= my Perfection

Tue, 05 Oct 2010 22:45:16 -0400

in my books, october is the month for perfection. sweaters, crisp air, cinnamon scents, and most of all, pumpkin.

two years ago, i was introduced to a key piece to my life puzzle, Trader Joe’s pumpkin pancake and waffle mix. i buy three boxes of this at a time and make the most glorious fall breakfast every sunday. these pancakes go amazingly well with a dollop of whipped cream (much better than maple syrup which masks the pumpkin yum).

my pancake tip:

add a handful of raw steel cut oats to the batter.. YUM!

they were devoured before i could get a picture, but any image imagined still wouldn’t be as good.

A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book.

saturdays

saturday is my favorite day of the week. it’s a weekend, and the whole day is available for use-knowing you can sleep in the following. grab a latte, browse a bloomingdales, eat a sugar cone under the open sky, take a nap, phone your friends, live your life. enjoy.

friday, the 13th. we survived.

Fri, 13 Aug 2010 23:13:22 -0400

the cabin scenes in friday the 13th were filmed where my entire middle school went camping for 4 days every october at fairview lake. pretty fucked up.

So long... So quiet..

I can’t think of a good reason as to why I haven’t found a chance to blog. But I’ll be back. As soon as I figure out where I belong on this earth.

happy st. patrick's day

hope you found a shamrock worth saving today !

i was downing cups of paradise punch on a wooden patio overlooking the acalpulco bay and getting ready to catch a cab to the airport to come back to school. oh time, how you play with my heart. i leave this post with a picture of a fab night, in a fab club, with fab friends. while today is memory monday, next week will vary slightly… stay tuned

Gloomy Sunday

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 15:54:43 -0400

sundays have always been the day of the week where i hate to think about anything, lying in bed and listening to music (or even to silence) relaxes me. i have never been the one to find my sundays the days of accomplishment. i see nothing wrong with this. lock your door, close the curton, pull the covers over your head.

see you monday.

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:49:00 -0500

they say the crazies come out with the full moon (i don’t know who “they” are, but “they’re” right).. well tonight, the crazies came out with the monsoon that i mentioned earlier today. i love my job- at least i tell myself i do- but i also love to sleep.

finally some peace and quiet .. i literally just knocked on the desk.

don’t forget to set your clock ahead (from 2am to 3am) tonight!

there is a monsoon outside of my window. legit streams of rain...

Sat, 13 Mar 2010 15:32:00 -0500

there is a monsoon outside of my window. legit streams of rain pouring down at a 45 degree angle thanks to the gusts of sporadic wind. any thought of an adventure today is currently drowning outside, along with my trash bags (some foolish college kid decided to steal our trash cans.. idiots). this means i am to stay inside and study all day-insert moaning and groaning here.

naturally when the weather wants nothing more than to depress me, i release my summer energy. nothing makes me feel like walking on the beach more than Ben Harper’s “She’s only happy” a must listen for ANY girl!

of coarse this all leads me to want to online shop for fabulous summer clothes (umm, hello Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Tennessee, AND graduation in less than 2 months)!

notice all of the studying i have accomplished today?

…perfect model student right here! :)

honest to blog?

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 21:33:33 -0500

yes, it’s true. i have officially made up my mind to starting a blog.. crazy, i know. right off the bat, i must admit that my life is a bit more than average. i’ve done more, seen more, thought more than most other ‘college kids’ my age.. and now you can glimpse into what that’s really like, because i can promise you, my life is anything but boring.
