hi guys! I know it's been awhile since I've written anything on here. I've been busy with school, work, and trying to have a personal life and get out into the wilderness to find serenity within myself. I know.. that sentence just got kind of spiritual, but believe me when I say I was trying to find peace in myself. I've been so stressed with what to do with my life. It's a whole long story to write about, but that's for some other time. I just wanted to say that I will be recording my first YouTube video on my channel today and I will be posting on my Tumblr & Blogger daily. I will make it a priority :-)

Basics

Been remodeling my wardrobe this year for back to school and I am just going to invest in nice shoes, nice pair of jeans, and nice accessories, but just keep my tops pretty much basic. I'm going to have lots of solid color tees, flannels, button ups, and a few nice jackets. I love wearing Michael's (the craft store) plain t-shirts! Yes.. I said it. I love wearing plain t-shirts from Michael's. They're so soft, great quality, and best of all.. they are INEXPENSIVE!! Love at first sight. I have loved their tees since 7th grade and let me tell you, I will never get over them. Of course, I only purchase the navy, white, and black ones.

Went hiking yesterday morning and made it to the top of Cowles Mountain and I had so much fun! Afterwards, I went to this new restaurant in San Diego called True Foods and just let me tell you, the lunch and dinner (yes, I went twice in one day) was top notch!

Sooo I know I said I was going to start going back to the gym yesterday if work did not take my call in shift. They sure didn't take it, but instead I had decided to go shopping  with one of my really good friends who is basically my younger sister. We both had decided to buy friendship bracelets but instead call them brother and sister bracelets. Let me tell you guys how much I am in love with these bracelets!! They are Alice and Ani. I am sure some of fashionistas out there know of this brand and how cute and chic they are. We both got two each and one of them is a Lotus flower and the other one are our first name initials.

Good Morning!! Woke up feeling very energized and motivated which is an amazing way to wake up! Hopefully work will not take my call in shift today so I can finally start recording for my first YouTube video on my channel. It is going to be of course what everyone does for their first video.. What's In My Bag video. I will tweet and make a new post of it once I have filmed it and edited it. It might take a while because I only want the best for any of the viewers I get and plus I am kind of a perfectionist when it comes to being creative.

But on another topic, for anyone who woke and isn't having a good day so far just remember times when you were the happiest and know that those moments are greater than just a bad day or even a few bad days. Cherish those moments whenever you are feeling down and just remember that there is someone who loves you and wants the best for you. If you are saying "No one loves me and no one wants the best for me." then just know that I DO! I love everyone even if they treated me wrong and I want nothing but the best for everyone. Now look in the mirror and see that beautiful or handsome face and know that whatever your goals are.. YOU CAN DO IT! :)

I was never really an active type of person for the longest time I could remember; however, as of last year I was on a fitness kick. I was going to the gym about twice a week, sometimes twice in my day! I used to take cycling classes in the mornings or nights and would go almost religiously, but for the past nine months or so I have not one ounce of motivation or encouragement to hit the gym. I even cancelled my membership because I felt like there was no need for me to pay monthly if I wasn't going to use it. Three months has passed and gosh do I miss going to the gym!! I am debating of going back tomorrow and re-signing up and actually making time for it with my busy schedule with work and soon to be school once again. I know I can do it and get back on the fitness game and still maintaing a great day at work and school. I just have to be positive and motivate myself and this time, I know I can do it! Just being at the gym I know it will benefit me and make me eat more healthier foods. Plus, I am going on a cruise next summer and I have to look awesome in a swimming trunk! I might just meet the man of my life on the cruise ;p haha just kidding! 

Back to going back to the gym and getting active topic.. I also have been wanting to get a personal trainer to help me get in shape and set up a work out and eating healthier meal schedules. I will definitely keep you guys updated with this. I would encourage anyone to get active and get into fitness, it's a lifestyle that I feel like would help everyone out. But if anyone doesn't want to get on the fitness track then no worries, YOU ARE STILL BEAUTIFUL AND I LOVE YOU FOR OWNING IT! :) muah!

To See or Not To See: About Time...

After such a long hunt for the next optical for this year, I had finally found the one that I am most pleased with.. and the company is WARBY PARKER ! They are such an amazing company! Let me give you a little background about them from what I know. They are a company where whenever someone purchase a pair of eye glasses from them then they give a free pair to someone in need around the world. WP is basically like TOMS but for optical. When you go on their website (https://www.warbyparker.com/) you can order your glasses there or do the 5 days at home trial kit. What the at home trial kit is, is that you can pick any 5 of the eye glasses or sunglasses and they will ship you the demo glasses to your location and you can try them on for yourself instead of having to just wing it from looking at pictures online. The at home trial kit was what I did and I fell in love with just one of the five and luckily, it was the one that I wanted to get out of all of them when I was picking out the frames. Once you find the glasses you like, you ship back all the glasses and then order the ones you want and send them your prescriptions and they will do the rest.

When my glasses came home in the mail, I was extremely impressed with their packing! It came in a case, with a hard case with blue interior and even a glasses dust bag. Packing is everything to me and their packing is five stars! I definitely will be going back to WP for my next pair of glasses. I am even debating on getting a prescription sunglasses.
                                        
The ones I purchased are called The Ames in the color Whiskey Torte. And now here is a selfie of me wearing them. I just absolutely adore them so much! I had never been so pleased with a pair of glasses before and Warby Parker did that.

Oh what a lovely Sunday it has truly been! Let me start off by telling you guys what I did today, I got to spend some quality time with my little niece while her father (my brother) was at work, cleaned up my room so now it is all neat and organized, and got to do a face mask. Next up, I am going to do a mini manicure after I finish writing this. Also I found out that I am going to be doing visuals tomorrow early morning instead of selling on the floor, so I picked out my lunch and breakfast and let me just say.. It is all healthy and delicious!! So proud of myself! I am trying to get on this healthy kick by eating healthier and get a working out routine on like the one I had a few months ago. Trying to get fit and get healthy for my body for the future before I get old and it is too late. Such an amazing Sunday! You guys can probably tell by how much I am using the exclamation marks. haha. Well I gotta dash to start on my manicure. :)

Oh How Much I Love My Sundays

Ever since summer had started, my manager asked me what two days I wanted off and I just told him that I would love Sundays off because they are family hang outs, and plus in retail eight hours on Sundays are basically openings and closings. I am NOT down for that! Now that I am off on Sundays, all I want to do is clean my room, go through my beauty drawer and get rid of anything that I don't use anymore or items that are expired, give myself a manicure, facial mask, read a book, and just an all around relaxing and pamper day. Also, I am thinking about filming my first YouTube video for my channel today. Hopefully I will go through with it. If not then I will film on Tuesday. SO excited and happy to pamper myself today! :)

On The Hunt: The Perfect Denim

Good morning dolls! Once I woke up this morning, of course I checked instagram and saw Miss Morgan Stewart posting a picture of her and I fell in love with the jeans she was wearing in the picture. It had got me thinking what is an amazing brand for amazing looking skinny or slim jeans.. I want a company that is all about the fabric, the feel, BUT not crazy expensive!! Nothing over $150! Any suggestions?

#GirlBoos by Sophia Amoruso has been an amazing read so far! I haven't finished it yet; however, it has been really inspiring and been very motivating to continue my goals in this fashion business industry. Reading a book from such a successful women who came from rags to riches in just seven years is truly amazing! Especially since she's from San Diego, California like myself definitely create things so much more realistic. I definitely recommend it!

Cannot believe that I have not posted anything in such awhile. Unfortunately, I have been busy with work and trying to find myself for the past few weeks. I have been reevaluating my life and the people I surrounded myself with and just trying to find motivation for myself. But I am happy to say that I am back and better than ever! More motivated to do good things in my life and got rid of all the negative bitches in my life that all they were doing was dragging me in down and unmotivated myself and my goals. Bye bitches!! haha. So another update on my summer to do list, a lot of things had changed and I won't be able to do majority of the things that I wanted to do, but it is alright because I know I will eventually get to do them. Trying to stay positive. I am so happy to be back and post new posts on a daily.

  • Go to Palm Springs for a few days for relaxation and a little getaway 
  • Read two to three books (Been working on The Fault in Our Stars and next will be #Girlboss)
  • Start working out on a daily basis to get fit
  • Join a Pilates workout class

To See or Not To See: Designer Optical

My father had given me the opportunity to grab another pair of eyeglasses, and of course I am going to take it and get another pair of designer eyeglasses. Duh! Now the only problem is, what designer do I get? What size of frames will I get? So many questions are running through my head. Right now, I have a pair of Tom Ford's and I do not want my second pair to be exactly the same shape or anything like that. Might as well get something a tad bit different. Contemplating either Versace, Burberry, or another pair of Tom Ford's? For my second pair of optical, I want the shape to be a tad bit bigger and a little bit over sized. Something sassy but also professional. The struggle.
