Christmas was sweet and simple this year (well, as simple as we can get it), just what I was hoping for. There were plenty of festive things I wanted to do that didn’t happen, but that’s ok, next year I just have to plan better. Something that I decided last minute was our holiday card […]
Hawke first had a glance at Santa at Disneyland. Santa was approaching Main St. with all his elves and there was a big crowd in front of us that we couldn’t really get close to the parade, but we could still see him approaching our area. Chris lifted Hawke so he can see better. […]
I haven’t done my nails since summer but last week, I wanted to add a little shine and color to my nails. I chose Essie’s Shearling Darling nail polish and I think it’s the perfect holiday plum and hue. Picture taken during a date night with the hubby 🙂
One of my favorite things during the holidays are the time spent with friends and family. I love that everyone is in a good and jolly mood, everyone has a grateful heart and thankful attitude. The vibe is light and fun. I just love this time of the year because it brings people together. I […]
I can’t believe how fast this month is going. Part of the reason that I wanted to do December daily is to help me be in the moment, appreciate all the festivities and also to have a journal for this month. I would say that my intention is working….(except for the writing it down and […]

I woke up today with a stiff neck. I could not even turn my head around to turn off my alarm clock. I’m not sure if the stiff neck came from my sleeping position last night or from the boxes I was carrying yesterday cleaning up the garage. After I massaged my neck and shoulders […]
I have a goal to read 52 books this year, an average of about 1 book per week. I exceeded that goal last year (because quarantine…) so we shall see where I will end up this year. Here are the books I’ve read in January and my ratings. THE INVISIBLE LIFE OF ADDIE LARUE by […]
I am still sore from my workout last Friday. So I headed out this morning to take a walk at the park and see how I feel afterwards. Pre workout fuel: 1/2 banana and 1/2 cup cooked oatmeal with cinnamon. After a mile of fast walking, my body loosened up and I felt good enough […]
I take a lot of pictures when I travel. I want to capture every moment so I can remember it and have it live forever in pictures. Last week when we had a heat wave in L.A., I reminisced of a place where if felt like fall. The pictures I shared had fall stamped in each one […]
Everything (by Michael Buble) You’re a fallen star You’re the getaway car You’re the line in the sand When I go too far You’re the swimming pool On an August day And you’re the perfect thing to say And you play it coy But it’s kinda cute Oh when you smile at me You know […]
I miss my girls. My group of friends from college came to hang out for a much needed girls slumber party, most of us met each other freshman year at the dorm rooms at San Diego State University 10+ years ago. We haven’t seen each other for a few months and we had a lot […]
Here’s this week’s outfits, we are now in Week 5 of my work wardrobe capsule. A new item that I haven’t worn in awhile is this grey crop pants that I got from Target. I like the look of crop pants on others but always hesitated wearing them myself. When I first tried it on, […]
Greek yogurt is a tasty and popular food at my house. Besides being tasty and creamy, even when fat-free, Greek yogurt is higher in protein than regular yogurt. It is full of calcium and often low in calories and fat. I like Chobani yogurts because they offer a variety of flavors and they taste great. The […]
