FRIENDS DURING FINALS

I'm not sure how I did it, but I managed to get through finals while a bunch of friends flew in simultaneously from Hawaii. Since they're on vacation so is my brain, which made it difficult for me to focus strictly on projects and presentations. It was well worth the sacrifice because I truly enjoy the company. Kev and I always try our best to make time for anyone who visits. 

Highlight of the week was finally getting the chance to meet Shay and Kelsey. Who my guy friends date is of utmost importance to me, and it's hard for me to take an instant liking to certain people. Thankfully, it was a breeze getting along with these ladies. I'm not going to lie, I was a bit worried. Our double and triple dates were much more fun because we 'vibed' well together. I'm genuinely happy for all of my boys to finally be in good healthy relationships. 

Spring Style

"Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking." Personally I'm not a fan of floral on myself, but it's obviously a given for Spring. Here's a few Spring inspired outfits that I pinned on Pinterest. Follow me if you'd like! These photos make me crave cute pastels, statement sunnies, fun prints, oversized hats, and a bangin' beach bod. 

BUNKER HILL

6TH STREET

Leo: Good, 'cos we're racing for pinks. 

Danny: Pinks? 

Leo: Pinks, you punk! Pink slips! Ownership papers!

Ring any bells people? I'm talking about Thunder Road from one of my favorite movies Grease. Who knew that the race scene was shot in a dry riverbed right under the 6th street bridge? 

WINNER, WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER!

My recent trip to Vegas was.... UH-MAZING thanks to my mom and dad! I literally spent 4 days straight with them, which is a little overwhelming for me just because there's only a certain amount of my parents I can take before they start to annoy the hell out of me. Regardless, I'm very grateful to have them because they honestly take such good care. Apart from family time I also got to have dinner with my friend Sarissa. I haven't seen her since she moved which was about 2 years ago. 

Omg and the best thing of life happened. I actually won! I've been to Vegas countless amount of times and I've never ever won from gambling. After dinner with Sar, I randomly decided to play before heading up to my room. Surprisingly I won $1173 from only putting in a $20 bill. Oh Vegas, every time I think I'm over you, you somehow reel me back in. LOL, viva Las Vegas! 

HUNTINGTON BEACH

Here's what we did on Presidents' Day: We drove down to Huntington Beach, walked along the beach/pier, and had lunch at North Shore Poke Co. We figured why waste a beautiful day staying in when we could soak up some sunlight at the beach. Hard to believe, but I'm looking forward to summer. Palm trees, ocean breeze, salty air, and sun kissed hair! Is it June yet?

Unexpected last minute plans always seem to work out the best. Sherylle and I randomly planned a day out through text within a matter of minutes just the night before. Luckily for me she was able to fit me in on her busy vacation. I took her to Rodeo Drive, and we walked along side all the fabulous designer stores talking about how one day we'll be able to afford to shop here (#lifegoals). After that we ate lunch at Urth Cafe on Melrose. Whenever I come to Urth I always order a Spanish latte granita. Hands down one of the best lattes ever, and if you want a suggestion on food I would recommend the D'Lox Pizza. It's topped with smoked salmon, herbed marscapone, red onions, arugula, and capers. It's the most delicious thing I've ever had from there. Trust me, you need to try it!  Call me sentimental, but in the middle of our lunch I  just thought about how even though we haven't seen each other in years I felt like I just saw her last week. It's so rare to find friends that make you feel that way. Literally the entire day we were catching up with each others lives, laughing, and reminiscing about the past. A date isn't complete without dessert, so we finished off our day at The Grove eating froyo at Pinkberry, and then I dropped her back off at the Ace Hotel in Downtown L.A. 

On a side note I'm counting down the days until she graduates and moves here! Yes, I hold all of my friends accountable for the goals they tell me, especially when it involves moving to California. There's a handful of people I could name, but I'll just wait here anxiously waiting... 

NEW & NOW

Oh hey, February! I can't believe we just got through the first month of 2015. Here's some highlights from January...

• Took another road trip to Las Vegas
• Used the last day of my 3 day hopper Disneyland pass
• Started winter quarter at FIDM aka my 2nd year
• Finally got to party at Downtown L.A. with some friends from school
• Decided to give pescetarianism another chance- I'm going on my 5th week without consuming any meat  
• I started logging down my workouts, and I re-downloaded MyFitnessPal on my iPhone to keep track of my macros
• I put in my 2 weeks at work and I'm now in the process of looking for another job
