Obsessions of the day!

some highlights of my day-

The 2 yr. old I have been giving swim lessons to all summer full blown jumped off the wall and swam around today!! REWARDING.. and so dang cute.

getting out of the gym parking lot @ 1:28 and you have to start paying a fortune at 1:30.. GOOD TIMING!!

the salad I made for dinner..the frozen yogurt I am about to eat ;)...AND


look at these absolutely perfect shoes my future sister in law found and sent to me:

IMAGINE THIS BED WITH BIG OL MONOGRAMS.. for a little princess! 

I am obsessed with a 3-way BBM chat I have going on with some BESTS. 

and I have new tweets I am obsessed with following.. 

my husband @alexchazen pointed out that @chriscolfer aka-Kurt from Glee says the MOST HILARIOUS THINGS VIA TWITTER.. AND I concur 

and finally one funny tweet that I retweeted, sorry for get political.. was Stephen Colberts tweet:

 StephenAtHome 

Iran may have a new weapon, but there's a bright side: they have to acknowledge Israel exists before they can attack it.

Little things that have sure made me happppppy today!!  

oh and WELLS FARGO ON WILSHIRE IN BEVERLY HILLS.. HOLY MOLY.. free parking lot, with a valet, a doorman, WATER BOTTLES, and the NICEST teller ever,... what a pleasant exchange!

I can only dream of my excitements of tomorrow!  

Adrenaline.

I have a firm belief in the fact that you must be happy. Doing things that make you happy, and remaining in a good state of mind, affects every single facet of your life. Your partner, friends, family, workplace, just everything will be better.. if you in turn are doing great. Take charge, and empower yourself. Right now I am hitting the gym as much as possible, because I was feeling draggy. Never ever was I one to care about physical attributes of my own because for some tangled weird reason.. I have always been confident in myself to a point of maybe a skewed version of my actual reality, I am like the opposite of anorexia.. instead of looking in the mirror and thinking I am huge when I am tiny.. I look in the mirror when I am maybe huge and think I am just great!! hahaha, what a blessing! Well there is always a tipping point.. and so I am working it out.. and feeling so good. Being healthy is not about size or looks, its about feeling good.. so others can feel good around you or about you. Something about sweating really, or swimming those laps, or being in nature, whatever the work out may be for you, really does make it a better day.

I love to be excited about something, at all times. You have to keep your life exciting... and besides Adam Lambert (really I am not joking.. my obsession with all things Glam made me realize, it feels good and healthy to be excited and motivated by an outlying factor.. no matter what it might be!).. ahahah, since the wedding I hadn't been feeling those natural feelings of excitement, or looking forward to things, etc. BUT NOW.. THAT I REALIZED WHAT I WAS MISSING WAS SOME ADRENALINE AND ENDORPHINS I AM EXCITED ABOUT EVERYTHING.. I leave the gym excited to cook dinner for my husband, excited for frozen yogurt that night, excited for a tv show, to see people, etc. You always have to stay excited.. look forward to the happy events in life, and empower yourself in whatever way works for you.

EMPOWER YOURSELF.. AND DREAM OF THE THE HAPPIEST OF MOMENTS!!

RETAIL OBSESSION.

I cannot stop online shopping. I find MAJOR gems. I mean there is nothing like finding a little creature of couture at TJ MAXX for 95% off.. but I get the thrill under my duvet in the air conditioned heaven of my Beverly Hills room ONLINE. holy moly. If you have a good eye, you have a good eye, and the options are endless on the world wide web. Combine Loehmanns back room and forever21 with Saks and your favorite boutique.. be it Planet Blue.. AND IT IS ALL OUT THERE, FOR BETTER PRICES!!!!
I have been buying chunky necklaces galore online... sending one of my best friend links to things that are killer for her... heck, Maybe I can be the next Rachel Zoe, lord knows I found my Rodger! BANANAS!!!!

Dreaming of Deals on the web!!!


try these:  gilt.com, ruelala, shopbop, forever21, shopzilla, shoewoo, pinkmascara
I mean the shoe sites out there are endless... obviously zappos. but so many more gems.

I MEAN EVEN TWITTER HAS SHOPPING GEM TIPS!!

New JEWELRY LINE COMING OUT AT TARGET IN 3 DAYS... DYING FOR IT!!!

Falling Behind or Jumping Ahead?

The beauty of a blog... of my sorts.. is that essentially it really is just like a public diary, and the reality is.. no one is really reading it. I am from a generation of typers.. rather then beautiful penmanship I can boast that I type 75+WPM, not bad eh?
Moral of the story.. we can create a forum for our thoughts on this blogspot at our own leisure.

Well, my life has taken a shift as I think we all take shifts in ideology and beliefs quite a few times in our lives.

People ask me day in and day out how the job search is coming, well unless you are offering me one, don't ask.. because I have come to realize, it is like asking someone who is 40 when they are going to have a baby... THEY GET IT.. I GET IT. well, here is my bit.. I have come to such peace with the whole job search and process.. I went on this interview a week or two ago, for a huge yogurt conglomerate.. the office was my dream come true, a yogurt bar in the office, bright pink walls.. just utopia for me, the only thing better would have been if it was corporate Disney. Anyhow, needless to say, the job is not mine... and finally I have come to terms with being turned down. I am in a happy happy place, in this new marriage (9mnths is still newlywed!!) getting into this groove and appreciation of sharing, learning lessons, in this beautiful apartment in Beverly Hills, close enough to Newport that I can go to my parents and friends whenever my heart desires. I think Carrie Bradshaw says it best "can we have it all"... the job, the apartment, the boyfriend... well, maybe we can, and I am sure one day I will.. but for now I am pretty darn content with the slice of Pie that I have. I feel like I have my cake and I am eating yogurt on the side ;). What a rant.. but I do think we have to be at peace with wherever we are in lives.. yes we need to push and strive and do better and fight for our progression in career/personal/health/whatever it may be.. but first you have to be OK with yourself and happy... and I am.

I kept thinking how can I not have a really great world beating job by now? I am destined to do big things in this world... but then I REALIZED.. I AM 24 YEARS OLD.. I HAVE TRAVELED ENDLESSLY, HAD ALL THE FUN I COULD EVER WANT, HAVE THE BEST FRIENDS, AM MARRIED, AND AM TEACHING KIDS HOW TO SWIM, DOING SIDE JOBS, EXPLORING,.... what is it that I felt I was missing.. NOTHING!!!!

I also would like to stress doing what makes you happy, I shop a lot, YES.. but I SIMPLY DIE FOR CLOTHES... I bought this blazer the other day, black and white, with a huge bow, and well.. that little gem has put a sparkle in my eye.. or I found these chanel shoes I thought my dad had thrown away, BRAND NEW IN THE BOX.. and when I put those little guys on my feet, I just dream of the places of which they will take me.. or better yet the adventures I will take them on!!

I am just now starting to really feel the benefits of marriage.. it is so rewarding and personal.. just a blurb I wanted to share.

oh and one more thing: at this point, I also have come to realize, I do not want just ANY job, it has to be something great, that I will work hard at, work hard for, and I think that it is important that I now feel that way,.. because when it comes and it happens to me.. WATCH OUT WORLD...

DREAMING!!

Doing BIG things

Turning 25 in six months has made me stop and go, gosh have I done some pretty rad things in my days so far.
One of my best friends little sister's is going to teach English in South Korea for a year (they gave her a fabulous going away party on the beach in the gated neighborhood of which we grew up, with tiki torches, a steel drum band COCONUT FRANK! full bar with the most clever cocktail names... and the TK burger truck.. aka- successful night of heaven and a reminder that the comfort and luxuries of home will always be there, things wont ever change at home drastically and when you do BIG things, you get a BIG celebration in return ;))... while I know lots of people who have taken jobs abroad, studied abroad (including myself)... traveled abroad.. etc. etc. etc. I think it is pretty humbling, honorable, and HECK... simply just cool to go and teach english in a sort of not so enticing country for a year while we are young, free, uninhibited, and HECK.... WHILE THE ECONOMY IS BAD ANYWAYS AND JOBS ARE SELDOM..

I started to think about my surroundings and all the people I know and have come by and all the incredibly interesting things we have all involved ourselves in.


I just think the bottom line is: KEEP DOING BIG THINGS WHILE WE CAN... TAKE EVERY OPPORTUNITY THAT COMES TO OUR DOORS... NEVER SAY NO OR THINK TWICE... because this is the time. THE HERE AND NOW, before we have kids, and mortgages, before we have serious responsibilities... and do BIG things always.

HATS off to those of you who are taking risks and making moves.. that is what life is about, that is how we shape our futures by acting in the present... MAKE IT HAPPEN!! DREAM BIG.. ACT ON IT!

Excitement.

I am always saying how overly stimulated I feel I have been in my life. Always doing the latest and the greatest, well traveled, well fed, and lots of amusement and material thrills. I had been worried, what in the world is there left to thrill me, excite me, give me that jolt of happiness from quick thrills... well I found it...

ADAM LAMBERT!!!!! stop judging. and start downloading and youtubing. STAT. 

3 concerts in 5 days, not too shabby!!! EVEN GOT GLAMMED IN VEGAS!! 

"equal rights are so glam" 

I say always try to find things that excite you, motivate you, and remind you how fun and thrilling life can be....things that make you go, GOSH WE ALL ARE SO DIFFERENT WITH A VARITY OF TALENTS AND ABILITIES...
