dream dream dream.

dream board #2 is up and running. 
{check out #1 here}


"The number one reason people don't get what they want is that they don't know what they want." - T. Harv Eker


creating this dream board was incredibly...
cathartic? 
restorative?
stimulating?
yes. all of those things. it felt good to refocus.


i haven't created timelines for myself,
but even just having a clear picture (literally) of what i want, 
seems to be making all the difference. 


so. at the end of this dream board cycle, 
i will have the following: 


a wonderful man in my life
a healthy, sexy body like rihanna
a house in order
a fulfilling, lucrative career
an overall positive sense of self


dream big, people. 


have you ever made a dream board?

romantical.

have you seen this google chrome commercial? 

it melted my heart and brought a tear to my eye. 

(not an exaggeration. i LITERALLY teared up.)

so tender.

happiest place on earth.

miss andria and i road tripped on down to disneyland
for a meetup with my angel and the larkins. 

and we all lived in a manner of happiness. 

highlights included dole whip AND captain eo. 
i was a first timer for the delight that was captain eo...
all these years, i didn't know what it was to live. 
'cause seriously people, you haven't lived until you've seen it. 

UH-mazing. 

i wanna live at disneyland.

golden globe recap.

the ladies of the golden globes rocked it OUT this year.

i was doing some seriously drooling over the looks.

here are a few of my faves:

i'm not usually a big fan of super straight hair on the red carpet

but heidi klum rocks it out to perfection.

it's super sleek and gorg but has a hint of bend and movement

that take it from ordinary to extraordinary.

salma's luscious curls are nice but it's her color

that's totally drool worthy.

it's a brunette take on the ombre that is so delish.

emma stone is perfection.

her color. her coloring.

love the side swept part. so simple, so chic.

who were your golden globe faves?
