LATELY...

Please excuse my absence, it's been a busy couple of weeks. I'm about 3 weeks into my new job and it's leaving me restless and lazy. I was off to a rocky beginning but slowly I'm getting the hang of things. This is my first retail job since I worked at Polo Ralph Lauren in 2010/2011, and let's just say I'm missing my old cushy front desk job. I totally forgot how it felt to be standing up for hours. I never realized how good I had it at W Salon.
Besides work, we had my boyfriends family come over last weekend. I was extremely excited to have his sisters and his cousin here. I've been missing my girls back at home and although it was just for a weekend it was nice to have female company. If only they were all of age we could've had a wild night out, but quality shopping time was just as good. Now that they're gone Kev and I are trying to ease our way back into the gym. I swear, whenever we start to get dedicated with working out and eating right we end up having guests over and it completely throws us off track. Well here's to a new week and new goals. 

NEVER FORGET 9/11

I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to go to New York City. These pictures were taken 9 years after the September 11 attacks and in the first photo where you see a construction site is where the Twin Towers once stood also known as Ground Zero. I hope to return to New York one day to see the National Memorial & Museum at the World Trade Center site. R.I.P to the people who lost their lives on 9/11. 

LOST WEEKEND

   

 

Excuse my absence for this weekend was filled with unexpected events. Kevin's cousin from Las Vegas decided to come down to L.A. and crash with us for the weekend.  Every time someone comes down we feel like it's in obligation to be good hosts and show them around the city. We bought Ryan to numerous places such as Manhattan Beach, the Boiling Crab, Hollywood, and LACMA Urban Light. But the highlight of his stay would have to be us partying it up at Hermosa beach. I did not expect us to have so much fun with just the three of us. We went to a bar called Patrick Molloys and it was straight poppin. The dance floor is small but the dj was good and to my surprise the people I met were friendly or just really drunk. If you knew me, you'd know that it doesn't take a lot for me to start dancing but I must admit those Hennessy and Patron shots did us well that night (especially for my boyfriend.) Happy 24th Birthday Ryan! I hope you enjoyed your stay at Casa del Krystal & Kevin.

EATING IS MY FAVORITE PASTIME

What can I say? I'm a food enthusiast and so is my boyfriend. We stumbled upon the Corner Bakery Cafe at Manhattan Village while waiting for an appointment at the Apple Store. I still find it strange that the only Apple store near our apartment is located at this shopping center. Trust me, if you saw it you'd be thinking the same thing. It's nice and clean but it lacks good stores. It seems more like a place for older people to shop. Anyway at Corner Bakery, I ordered some kind of panini (forgot what kind) and Kev got chicken pesto. Both were surprisingly delicious especially with the lemonade. It's definitely something I'd crave again.
