To date or not to date...

I missed this weekend of blogging due to my crazy schedule. My weekends are no where near the actual weekends. It always seems to be the busiest days out of the week for me.  Let me start of by saying I am about to tell you my "Carrie Bradshaw" story. If you know me, you already know my story, if you don't...Well... long story short: got dumped, had my heart shattered to a million, maybe ever three million, tiny pieces, hopeless, heartless, loveless... you get the point. Because of that I was forced to start these new discoveries of how I can make myself happy now. It's taking me a while to realize what I really want, who I really am, and who I really want to be. With these question I'm learning a lot about myself. Recently I started reading a book called "Date like a Man", the book isn't about just dating; it is about discovering the things I have been trying to about myself for the passed 3 months. This book has many little self discovering ...

We're only young...when we're young...

SO take advantage of it! Make memories. Be addicted to taking pictures because the moment will never, ever be repeated again. Don't regret what happen, learn from it. Make a better future and remember to take more pictures. It's never too many! Here is an example of my iPhoto that I had to delete because it was full (of course after transferring all of the pictures to external hard drive) And that is when you know you're living life to the fullest and enjoying it! Here is one of my favorite pictures from a recent photo shoot with Rich. To look at his insta, search @prevailingphotography Have a lot to do before work, so I must make this short. Thank you for following everyone! I'm a few view away from 500 in my first week <3 you all! Please email me if you want me to blog about something you're interested in. Until next time, and remember :) Stay Classy My Friends!!!

Yoga and Pilates

I'm not a fan of hot yoga. In fact, I hate it. I will not do it if you offer me a free membership. However, I love regular Yoga and Pilates. Yesterday I took a yoga class and today I spiced it up with Pilates. I like Pilates a little bit more than yoga because it's a little faster and a lot of abs! <3 As you all know, I'm working on my flexibility right now, so yoga is very beneficial. I want to share a few pictures with you of my yoga accomplishments. Im very proud of my skill and it is a lot easier to do than it looks. I start from downward dog, but on my elbows (as you can see) and walk my hands to my feet as close as I can. It's all abs so no need to push yourself up, slowly lift your legs with the strength of your core and find your balance in the air. Try next to a wall at first and see how well you can hold your balance up and continue practicing until you can stand on your own! Here is a video I just made at home, sorry ...

As promised..... Garlic Shrimp By Lala Koala

As I promised you a few days ago, I will tell you my secret shrimp recipe. Again, I don't have the exact proportions, nor do I have the time but with shrimp it's pretty easy to say when it's done.  This blog will be full of pictures since I did take a step by step picture as I was making it.  Step one! Put some music on! I chose pandora Benny Benassi radio.  Step Two: make sure you are organized and have all the ingredients out and ready to go! For my recipe I chose jumbo shrimp (but any shrimp works), bowl of milk, garlic, fresh lemon, fresh cilantro, parsley, smoked paprika, pam, and real lemon juice.  Step three: if you're shrimp are not deveined , make sure you do so! As you clean and devein the shrimp put them in the bowl of milk for 30min-1hour. Milk kind of kills that sea smell and softens the shrimp. Step four: while your shrimp are getting a milk bath you have time to prepare a bowl of "goodness". Get a bowl and cl...

Breakfast...

I know it is a little late for breakfast update, but there is always tomorrow. :) I decided to have a fancy breakfast today, so I made me some scrabbled eggs and small red potatoes. What made it a little fancy is how I made the potatoes. I took about 3 small red potatoes and cut them into a "bite" size. I had my pan hot and ready to go, but once I put the potatoes in I turned the gas stove down (from hight to about 3). You want to make sure you don't burn the potatoes on the outside before they are done on the inside. I love to add random spices to my food when I cook and today I went with a sprinkle of parsley, a little it of smoked paprika, some basil and seasoning salt. When the potatoes were almost done I added some bacon ranch on top as well as some fresh cilantro, and cooked for another 2-4 minutes. And as always here is a picture of my creation. I don't have the exact portions because most of the time when I cook I make up my own recipe as I go. All of the thi...

Day off...

Even though today is my day off, it definitely will not be a day of doing nothing. Since I have been sick, I've been putting off so many things. Ill start my day with a delicious cup of coffee, just to wake up. I got yoga at 12 followed by a bunch or errands.  It's been a while since I've done yoga. For the passed month I have been going to this dance studio, and I loved it. If it would only fit my schedule with school and work I would keep going. Here is a picture of one of the moves we did.  If you want to get in shape, and you have tried all the regular exercises, I would recommend trying something your muscles never tried before. I was sore everyday, after every class. So worth it tho. I want to learn to do splits and have been doing a few exercises from youtube videos, that I thought were helpful. Unfortunately I don't have time to practice as much as I should and want to, so it will probably take me forever. But when the day arrives I will make su...
