Irony At It's Corniest

It's undeniably ironic that the person who gives you that out-of-this-world feeling (that you swear, if you could bottle and sell you'd be a millionaire) and makes you strong, is in fact your weakness.

So ... be his or her, favorite hello & hardest goodbye

Classic Tunes + Hippie Living - Stress = Happiness Wasted

5 Bullets of De-Stressing

• Remove toxins: includes types of foods you consume, types of products you use and most importantly types of people you know
• Sleep: not just any type of sleep: plan to sleep .. take a nice long bath beforehand, light some candles and/or turn on some of your favorite night time tunes
•  Seek friends: a good friend can make the most stressful situation seem like child's play
• Go natural: the purest form of anything and everything comes from nature .. take your self outdoors, wink at the sun and talk to the moon

and most importantly, always, always and I mean ALWAYS ...

• Count your blessings: take a minute to give your mind a break from what is actually making you have to give your mind a break and think about all that you have going for you, for example: "Another Day In Paradise"

Loft Living

"Dreams don't always have to exist when the sun is down and your eyes are shut" - Alex Gaskarth

Current time: 11:03 a.m. and I am dreaming of a loft, with rusty asscents, tons of character and a balacony with endless lights to meet the eye.

The Monsters Aren't Under The Bed Anymore

Let's get real. No, not the "stop talking behind my back" type of real nor the "you're a hater, be real" type either. Let's get real and face the real-ities of fear. How often do you get scared? What do you get scared of? How much do these fears impact your life?

 I find it far too unfortunate that we (and by "we" I mean mostly ME) live our lives with even a nano particle of fear. Granted, whether unfortunate or not it is in fact a well established part of every one's daily existence. So now that we've gotten quite "real" about the fact that we all, somehow fear something, let's dissect our fears: 

Is it the dark we fear? ... or is it our lack of ability to see what's in the dark?

Is it heights we fear? … or is it the thought that we may fall and not land safety?

Is it people we fear? … or the actions that they are capable of?

Is it failure we fear? … or the agony of judgement?

The more and more you think about it, fear is only a manifested crutch created by you and reinforced by outside sources. I Say, find gems in the dark, fall and brag about your scars, help people become capable of good as opposed to evil and if you're going to be judged, make sure you're wearing your best heels!

Who needs a kitchen?

The most disorganized of girls would still keep her clothes, shoes and accessories organized if given sufficient space for it. This will be mine, even if it means convertting my kitchen into my closet and my coat closet into my kitchen. After all, it only takes a microwave to make a box of mac n' cheese! I pity the lad that marries me.

And of course the most famous closet of all time, Ms. Carrie Bradshaw pre-marriage to Big

if only they would allow it to become a monument and charge us a pair of Manolo Blahnik's to visit and awe for a few thousand minutes .. hey, a girl is entitled to her dreams, ok!
