I can’t believe that July is already here! This summer is flying by!

Hope everyone has a safe & fun 4th of July! Still don’t know what I am doing yet, but hopefully it involves lots of eating & fireworks!

June 24, 2011 - 9 months

Yesterday, was 9 months since Ipo passed away. She would have been 15 years old this month. Yes, 15 years is a long time in doggie years, so I know that she lived a long and loving life! Even though you lived a long life (according to dog years), I still wish you were here! But I am glad to see your face every day in pictures. Love you.

Chocolatey Morning Goodness

Mon, 13 Jun 2011 10:00:06 -0700

Since I have been into trying new teas lately, I had a sudden craving for some scones! This weekend I decided to make some chocolate chip scones to pair with a warm cup of tea. The recipe was really easy and they came out great!

Oh, the life of a royal...

Seems like the media can’t get enough of The Duchess of Cambridge & Prince William (myself included)! I always wonder what it would be like to live a real life fairytale… but I guess (like everyone else) I have to live vicariously through the pictures and stories of Kate & William :)

Birthday Weekend

Sat, 11 Jun 2011 12:15:17 -0700

I celebrated my birthday last weekend and I had a fun time with my lovely friends and family. Even though I am not thrilled about turning another year older, I am glad that I will always have friends and family to celebrate with.

Graduation & Celebrations

Sat, 11 Jun 2011 12:01:00 -0700

May was a very hectic month for me and although I had fun celebrating, I am happy for it (and school) to finally be over! I graduated in December 2010, and walked on May 22nd 2011 from Cal State University, Fullerton. I had many graduation events to attend, as well as friends parties and my own graduation parties with friends & family. Here’s a look back & my graduation month…

This week seems extra long & tiring! Sometimes we need to stop, and take a deep breath :)

I ♥ LA

Thu, 02 Jun 2011 22:44:04 -0700

Although I was born and raised in Los Angeles, I still feel like a tourist. There is so much to do and see in the City of Angels, and even though I have lived here all my life, I am still exploring the many great things this city has to offer. I really do love LA!

May 24, 2011 - 8 months

Ipo would always love to sit on the grass in our front yard.

I miss you Ipo! Wish I could have taken a graduation picture with you this past Sunday. I love you Ipo and still think about you all the time!

Tea Time.

Sun, 15 May 2011 18:12:44 -0700

I am a huge fan of teas and tea houses and recently, I have been on the hunt for great tea houses and organic teas. I visited The Tea Exchange in Manhattan Beach last week and bought some tea for my mom for Mother’s Day. I bought her a box Tea Forté teas in Green Mango Peach. I tried some today, and it was amazing! It has a hint of mint which I love in teas (and is good for your tummy)! They also make iced teas and tea-infused cocktails! They also come in the cutest little tea bags! I can’t wait to try more flavors from Tea Forté!

Not Skinny Jeans

Sun, 15 May 2011 16:04:00 -0700

Move over skinny jeans! Baggy, wide leg pants are back in style and I couldn’t be happier! I must admit, I was never a fan of skinny pants that seem to have taken over the fashion world. I never did have the figure to rock skinnies so I am glad to see wide leg pants back in style!
