5 DE MAYO

Mi Gente!! Lo se, llevo un tiempo perdida...De noviembre para aca, wow, que mucho tiempo ha pasado! Vino Santa Clos, llego el 2013, Obama sigue en la Casa Blanca, llegue a los 29, me mude a un vecindario nuevo, me compre una bicicleta y no me he caido...Pero mas importante...el domingo pasado celebramos la Batalla de Puebla, un acontecimiento historico mejor conocido como el 5 de mayo o "seenco day mah-yo" como dicen mis amigos gringis. 

Fue un domingo super chevere, invite a amigos de diferentes grupos (trabajo, puerto rico, golf, amigos de amigos) y todo el mundo se llevo de lo mas chevere. Una de mis vecinas es fotografa y saco su camaritas para la ocasion. Aqui comparto varias fotitos.

I AM GRATEFUL

FOR...

yesterday, TODAY, dove mini ice cream bars, mornings, quiet evenings, LAUGHTER, hummus, popcorn, on demand, my flat iron, Esse and OPI nail polish, mini Polaroids, moose, airplanes and cars that take me to new places, home decor blogs, Chanel fragrances, FRIENDS who come over, friends who invite me over for a glass of WINE (or five), candles that make the house smell really really good (even if it's only for an hour), freshly washed sheets, 5 minute dance parties in the kitchen, MUSIC, bubbly, facetime convos with my FAMILY, post work chats with my MOM, my job, magazines, the iPhone camera, Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, skymiles, $3 ebooks, pinterest, colorful stuff

essentially, all of the LITTLE THINGS on this list make me happy...or at least give my life an increased level of awesomeness...with that said, THANK YOU little things, THANK YOU for the good times, for the laughs, for allowing my to hair look decent and for making my apartment smell nice

on a more "serious" note...
if you know me, i think you would agree on how much i value RELATIONSHIPS - whether it be  those established through my family early on or those formed recently. i love my people and i appreciate how my parents instilled the sense of "friends are family you get to choose" from an early age. This is what I am most thankful for this year, the good people i can start a conversation with "te acuerdas cuando...." ("remember when...")

soooo during this highly anticipated holiday, enjoy the time with your new or old relationships, take a chill pill, eat lots of goodies, put on some good music, try not to fight and don't forget to drink (it helps relax especially if you're traveling or having guests over).

oh and thank you for reading all the way down the page, you rock!! tell me, what are some things you are grateful for?

cheers!

mucho love

LA BODA DE ELLA...

Fue la mejor...


What a week...the wedding, the parties, seeing old friends, meeting new friends, seeing Mariella and Dustin so happy celebrating their day...I couldn't have had a better vacation. I still can't wear closed shoes and my voice is slowly returning, but like my friend Carla wrote to me "I wouldn't expect anything else from you, anything else would just be BORING."

Now I'm back in Jacksonville, recovering from the intensity and reliving the good times through photos. Here are some highlights...Enjoy!

CARMEL (AND OTHER PLACES) FROM MY IPHONE

I was so hyped up after my dance trance class this evening that I took some time to download pictures from my phone to the PC. Looking at these brought back the West coast wannabe in me so I figured I would share again. Some of you may have already seen these on Instagram so bear with me. Did I mention how much I love Cali? Can you tell? I'll shut up now...Here's the result of the iPhone dump...
