2014

I know this is a couple days late but Happy New Year everyone! 

Whew! the beginning of the year has already been super busy for me. Working full time, taking classes online, working on projects, making time for friends and family . . all of it is hard to fit in day in and day out. Here are a few of my New Years resolutions. . .

• Save money, but also invest in things that will last a lifetime (or at least a few years)
• Move to my favorite part of seattle! (Capitol Hill)
• Make new friends but don't neglect the old ones
• Exercise more outside instead of clocking in hours at the gym
• Find a job that really inspires me and that I can progress at
• Work more on writing and photographing (two of my biggest passions)

Thanks for listening to my ideas! 

What are some of your New Years Resolutions?

American Horror Story

Recently I've heard a lot about something called American Horror Story. Friends would mention in passing time and I never knew if it was a tv series or a movie. Recently I had a sick day and was browsing Netflix to find something to watch as I tried to rest and rejuvenate. I came across American Horror Story and watched the pilot episode and was immediately hooked. I absolutely loved the first season (yes I already finished it) and cannot wait to see the second. Here are a few screen shots from this eerily delightful series.

I love seeing this old victorian house and all of its wonderful character as well as the flashbacks in this show that go as far back as the early 1900s. Jessica Lange plays a big role and has won several oscars and golden globes. Seriously if you haven't seen this show yet you should try it out just in time for Halloween!

Recent Adventures

Aside from working full time at my new job I've had a few opportunities for adventures. Recently my friends and I have been abandoned house hunting (for photo shoot opportunities) to some local beaches and have been hitting up local thrift stores and antique malls as much as possible. It's been fun!

Hair Inspiration

One of my favorite singer/actresses currently is Zooey Deschanel. I think she's gorgeous, brutally honest and a hilarious actress. I just adore her in everything! New Girl, 500 Days of Summer, Bones' cousin (love that show) in 2009. Pretty much everything she's ever been in i've enjoyed. So it's no shock that she became my hair inspiration! Going to get some Zooey Deschanel bangs today and I can't wait! Pictures soon.

What I'm listening to this morning

I've loved Iggy forever but I also like Best Coast. Good combination I found this sound from one of my favorite shows True Blood.

It's been a blues-y day here in Seattle with the overcast weather.

Thanks for listening!

Lazy Day

I heard this novel was good from a friend of mine so I picked it up from my local bookstore today.

It's been an amazingly quiet day filled with reading and cups of tea.

Anyone else reading anything interesting?

New job!

I know it's been a while since my last post on here but life has been a little hectic lately. I recently quit my job because in all honestly it really just wasn't "me." I woke up every morning before work on the wrong side of the bed and somehow always left the place still stuck on the wrong side. I know its not practical for someone to quit there job these days but my boyfriend had a steady one and lucky for me . . I got a new job the next day! Yup thats right. I should have bought a lottery ticket that day too.

Now I work at a local coffee house/bar and it is so much fun making coffee and drinks and hosting open mic nights and live shows. Its a lovely job and everything we sell is locally made, grown, and produced. It is so me!

Here is the outside of this adorable coffee spot.
