Merry Vernal Equinox!






Ahhh, the first day of spring. I love it. This morning I woke up at 7:30, bleary-eyed, but determined to keep up this early morning thing. After wandering around my apartment for a few minutes, I opened up the paneled blinds that look out onto our patio. It was a gorgeous day! I decided in a split-second that I was going to run to the ocean and get myself an iced coffee and a green juice. I started running, but my lady-body hurt so badly I simply couldn't continue. I felt a little angry at my boobs for a while, but took a deep breath and decided to change my perspective. It was still a beautiful, bright morning and I was already outside. I had brought my Kindle with me so I read Game of Thrones as I walked all the way to the beach. When I got there I loved how busy it was in the morning down on Ocean Ave. People were already well into their days, and there was an exciting energy all around. Spring fever?


Actually, it wasn't until I got to work that I realized it was the first day of spring. I wonder if I felt in tune to nature somehow? I mean I really felt called to be outside this morning! I spent my break at work on this tiny patch of grass in the middle of our parking lot. It's called a "People Park": no dogs allowed. 



A cool breeze swirled around me, flirting with my long skirt and blew gently through my hair.


Here's how the wind really made me look.

Happy first day of spring everyone! May this season bring you newness and clarity.

The Link Queen's Thursday Things

This gorgeous, slouchy trench . Should I just buy the damn thing already? This cute high school girl isn't getting great grades and didn't get into her colleges of choice...but she started her own company , and it's adorable (and successful). In love with Lianne La Havas right now (thanks, Shane). This song is especially fun. I also really like when she sings with just her guitar. Pretty floral dress for a springtime wedding. Another great option here . ASOS is offering 20% off their label for a limited time only. Per usual, Wit and Delight's wish list is spot on. "As per vs. per usual" ^ via the Grammarist . And now that you've just clicked on all of these links, here's a link to an  article  that suggests that link hopping and surfing the internet can be harmful to your brain. Fantastic exhibition on view at Richard Heller Gallery featuring work by collaborating artists Neil Farber and Michael Dumontier. Love this image. Com

Cleanse Day One

I'm writing this post as a way to keep busy and not notice the hunger pangs that are currently clanking around in my stomach as loud as the bells of Notre Dame. I'm doing a 3 day juice cleanse with my friend Alysia. There was no way I could do it alone! I've got to complain to someone, and who better to complain to than someone who is feeling the same way as me? Empathy baby. This morning while I was sleeping I had lucid dreams about drinking three of my juices too quickly and being so starving for the rest of the day. What a nightmare! Needless to say, I was more than a little nervous for what the rest of the day would feel like if I was already dreading it in my sleep! 8:30 am: Grabbed the Greenest #3 juice from my fridge and began working on it while I got ready for the day. Gilmore Girls on in the background, curls in place, and make up on, I actually felt pretty good. I didn't feel the need for coffee at first, but the second I walked into work, the caffeine de

The Big Five

A while back I asked my closest friends to send me five words that come to mind when they think of me. I started out by writing down five of my own. Energetic, Eclectic, Gregarious, Considerate, Fun Here is what the others had to say. I put stars next to words that several people used. Passionate Energetic** Eclectic*** Embellished Yogi*** Enthusiastic** Outgoing Student Driven** Kind Creative** Playful Madewell Caring** Desiring harmony Optimistic Perceptive Imaginative Facilitator  Empowered Spirited Cultured Intelligent*** Thoughtful** Organize Uniter Bold Persistent Fabulous Love Beautiful Strong Glue Steadfast Anxious Art Real Bangs Generous Compassionate Empathetic Goofy as heck At this point, I am merely putting this list out in the universe in an attempt to manifest/manage these traits. I'd like to return to these qualities from time to time, especially if I'm feeling down or confused. They could be a good starting p
