Christmas on Valentine's Day

Hello, Hello my beautiful readers!

It's been one of those months were the time just flies by and before you know it you've time traveled to the next month!

The title of this post might throw some off but I promise you, you won't be confused for long. If you know me and my friends, you'll know that we don't tend to give gifts on the designated day due to schedules, not having a gift, we don't see each other, ooooooor we simply don't have a gift yet. I, for one, am terrible at not only choosing gifts but giving them away many many months later. It's no surprise that my friends like to give me gifts way after the celebratory day as well. Also, I believe in giving gifts after the celebratory day because HELLO MERRY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY! 

My best friend, Ana, took a page out of my book. She gave me both my birthday (which was back in August) and Christmas gifts together in February. Why? Because, why not?! After turning 21, I acquired a taste for all things wine and she did just that: fuel my taste. 

For my birthday, she gave me a bottle of Barefoot wine, a wine holder (just look at the sass in that shoe!), and some eyelashes (she knew I've been wanting to try them some more). 

For Christmas, she gave me a wine bottle opener kit and a fancy, sparkly wine glass a caption of "Mama needs some wine."

She knew of my adventures trying to open bottles without a proper opener (thank you, Pinterest!), but I think it was time I had a proper kit. Thank you, Anna!

My friend Sam also gave me my Christmas gift in the month of Love. We hadn't seen each other since mid-December and back then we both didn't have our gifts yet. So we did a gift exchange outside of work. 

LOOK AT THOSE BEAUTIFUL DANCERS! She knows how much I love to cosplay as Disney princesses so she decided to extend my makeup supplies to have more options when dressing up. 

Inside this beautiful bag is where all the magic happens.

Three beautiful eyeshadow cases and a beautiful mirror with the eyes that resemble those of Audrey Hepburn or Rapunzel from Tangled.

So many vibrant colors for Merida, Rapunzel, Ariel, Belle, Snow White, and Elsa! *insert heart-eyed emoji here*

I am so in love with my gifts and I can't wait to put them to good use! Thank you ladies for your loving gifts!

Until next time, my beautiful readers!

Somewhere Over the Rocky Mountains

Well hello ladies and gents!

So sorry it has been months (wow, months!) that I've last posted on the blog. Between school and two jobs, life drew back and hit me hard in the guts. It's been a few hard months, but looking forwards is all one must do in the process of healing.

Just two weeks ago, my folks and I decided to pack up and get away from town to escape the ruckus. Where does one go to escape? Why, none other than Las Vegas, Nevada, of course!

Since we practice feng shui, we took an extravaganza class over the weekend while being in Sin City. It was a time of rejuvenation, distraction, and just simply having fun! This was the first time visiting since turning 21, so I was eager to finally play the slot machines in the casinos after seeing my mom play them for years!

       Me at New York New York Casino.

Just look at the excitement on my face. For my first time playing, I was fairly lucky and got to finally cash in my own winning vouchers.

                     Hey, hey, hey! 

Aside from learning more about the upcoming year of the Monkey, we also saw a Chinese Dragon dance and participated in releasing wishes into the sky via balloons for the heavens to answer our wishes!

         Myself with my wish balloon. 

        *Dragon dance video coming soon*

After roaming the casinos in the following nights, we decided to pack our bags the following morning and go to the City of Angels, herself, Los Angeles, CA for the day. 

If you've never been to LA before, 1) you should at some point in your life and, 2) you will discover the wholesale district. Now the wholesale district we've gone to for years. There's so much, and I talking SO MUCH STUFF you can buy things ranging from clothes to electronics to fabric to toys to phone cases! They have it all! 

The only shots I have from the windy, cloudy day in LA are the ones from fumbling with a selfie stick (yes, I caved and bought a $6 selfie stick #score) and some from my personal Snapchat account. 

Remember how I said you can find anything in the wholesale districts? I wasn't kidding. People from all over can always be found here. The colorful shot is taken in one of the alleys in LA. Sometimes, I forget to stop looking at the dirty streets and look up to see the colorful walls. I've visited that same alley for years now and I've never noticed the colors on the walls. 

That's its for now folks. I'm on a road to recovery to shed this pessimistic outlook on life and return to my optimistic ways! I have so many plans for this blog and I'm hoping to stick with them! This is going to be one whirlwind couple of months as I graduate in May with my BA (yay!). 

Put on your seatbelts folks! It's about to be a bumpy ride!

xx,

Elizabeth
