 Was considering ceramic, but I don't find it as classic and timeless..

Online purchases are a breed of insta-happy on their own.. It's like *click click*, you're mine now.

or AKA Visa exploitation.

I've got Man Shoulders.

There was a time where I'd complain about my so-called "man shoulders" *cue Regina George voice*. Somehow, I was convinced that I had developed a boxier frame due to my years at the pool (thank you, butterfly stroke). This notion was confirmed thanks to my dad's relentless teasing.. He only teased me cause he knew better; he knew that broad shoulders weren't the end the world. In fact, broad (or feigned broad) shoulders might be a woman's gateway into what we'd call a man's world.

 It's only until now that I can really say that I love a woman with strong shoulders. More importantly, I love a woman who isn't afraid to draw added attention to an area that has been previously associated to our male counterparts. I used to poke fun at my mum's old-school shoulder pads, but now I'm wondering Why should men get all the glory? I got shoulders too, y'all.. And they fine as hell!

An embellished frame can make you look taller, stand straighter, and embody the aura of an all-business-no-nonsense-type prowess.. In the snap of a finger, you're polished. You're tailored. You've added a feminine mystique to a once no-girls-allowed property.

This leads to my current situation: I'm on the search for the perfect blazer(s).

On my list already.. (Mmhmm, this post doubles as my shopping list. Girl's gotta multitask somehow.)

The UPS Man

The UPS Man came by this morning [in all his glory] while I was still in bed getting ready for work (I use a handheld mirror because I like sitting in bed for as long as I can.) I heard the doorbell ring and my dad answer it. The UPS Man said, "You owe me $24.75." I thought I heard that in the 4 digit range, so I was thinking in my head, Did Dad finally get caught doing something? Is this the bounty hunter or some shit?

After the UPS Man left (leaving traces of gold behind him, no doubt), Dad brought in my giant box from UO and told me I owed him 25 dollars. Despite having 5 minutes prior to leaving for work, I tore shit up.

Here's my first haul EVER (also my first pair of harem pants). Everything is purchased from urbanoutfitters.com. I usually get my online purchases sent to a P.O. Box in Point Roberts, I'm so nervous and I can't help but utter the words "um" and "like" every few seconds. Bear with me..



Brands are: Staring at Stars, ByCorpus, Fletcher by Lyell, and BDG

Feel good music

Hi.

uno vlog

Teaser

On the search for

that carefree philosophy.

Thoughts:
I'd like to spend more time with my little brother (who isn't so little anymore!)

I'm so mad at my knee. I'm so pissed that I can't run, do the elliptical, stairmasters, or do squats. It's driving me mad.

Can't stop listening to http://youtu.be/DWkruuiml3s (Thanks, Chu)

Hmmm... much love to my girl N.

I wanna be baked to a golden crisp by the end of this summer. Beach bumming is one of my fav hobbies afterall..

Speaking of hobbies, I'm stoked on getting started on playing the acoustic guitar. I've been wanting to learn how to play for a few years now, but lethargy and the smallness of my hands have gotten in the way. I recently discovered two Yamaha guitars in my basement--one of them is this gorgeous classic guitar (circa 1988) with these beautiful ebony pegs, the other is a standard-looking acoustic guitar. Both are seem so promising, I can't decide which one to keep for myself. (Duh.. keep both.)

"I don't know if I'm in love with you--I don't know what that is. But I know for sure, I'm crazy about you."

I need to revise my sleeping schedule. Chu's right; I'm waking up in a completely timezone. I always said that sleep deprivation would be my hamartia.

Cocoa Rice Krispies are soo yumskies. If y'all have the chance to get your hands on some (courtesy of our friendly neighbour from the South), GET ON IT.

I considered starting a marketing blog but my passions leave me elsewhere.. actually, they lead me towards cosmetology and fine foods. What can I say? I'm a superficial fatty at heart. loveandcheekbones.blogspot.com is where it's at. I'll be talking shit about NYX, taking a lots of pictures of myself, and doing what I do best.. (eating).

I forget what good music does to the soul..

Although I've always considered myself a kind person, as the years progress.. I've become really stuck-up. Worst of all, it's unintentional snobbery. I think we can all agree, judgement is involuntary--it's what you do with that judgement that makes a difference. Sometimes, I pass judgement on people and let it take control of how I treat them and I think they deserve to be treated. I forget that humanity loses itself in such convictions. I'd like to be a kinder person this summer. A genuinely kinder person. I'd like to bask in all that sunshine, see all the beauties of life, shake off the bad moments and relish in the good ones. I want to do better, be better. I want this summer to be about more laughter and more smiles. Everyone needs to smile more.

Lastly..
