"Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally." David Frost

That's actually the full quote, but I love making pic-quotes as my phone wallpaper so I just took a snippet. 

So it has prolly been well over a month since I started my Etsy shop and a big fat "0" in sales. Before I opened up shop I read a bunch of articles from successful etsians that it is usually a rough start, one even having only two sales during the first 3 months! But I was slowly starting to get delayed. You know like a balloon slowly losing its air. And while I still enjoy the local sales, I have dreams that my beauties will cross oceans and mountains! And guess what!?!? It finally did! My first sale earlier this week...now making its way over to Spain woohoo!!! 

So for all of you out there, whatever dreams and goals you have set for yourself but don't feel like you're necessarily meeting right now, don't give up!!! If you want it, you will eventually achieve it! Happy Friday!

Weekend Happenings

This weekend eM and I oinked out on some oishii Japanese food at Takami. We've been here a few times already and I always love sitting in their semi-outdoor patio on the 21st floor overlooking the skylines of downtown LA. One fun-filled night of gorgeous views, good food, kick-ass drinks, sweet desserts, and rockin' company...all for $175...thanks hun!! ;)

On Saturday Melanie from meandmr.com was so sweet to do a guest post of one of her awesome guacamole receipes. Check it out here. I haven't tried it yet but definitely something I would make for my hot latino someday. Thanks again girl!

So recenlty, like two weeks ago recent, I set weekly running goals to keep myself on track because it's just that easy to make excuses to not run or run less. Goal is 3 times a week and each time increasing distance by 0.05 miles, no stopping during the run, and improving in time. Met goal this week? Check. Total miles ran? 13.06 miles. Awesome! {pats myself on the back}

St. Patty's Day ma and I chowed down some Roll & Rye corned beef cabbage. That's about all I did for the holiday...well, I did wear green if that counts haha! Pretty low key. 

How was your weekend? I would love to hear about it!

lust-have: zadig & voltaire

i just adore this brand called zadig & voltaire.  it's a relatively new French brand started in 1997 by Thierry Gillier, co-founder of Lacoste.  two things i love is their style and quality.  there is a unique flair to their style, like it's kind of feminine but punkish at the same time. and their quality is just excceptional.  and two things i hate most: pricee + tag haha.  enjoy!

Weekend Happenings

This weekend went by waaayyyy to fast!! Though it is only an hour, I blame you daylight savings.

This weekend eM surprised me with a little early birthday dinner at home. I had recently mentioned that I was craving Japanese food...and guess what he bought? That's right, shrimp skewers with chicken teriyaki. I guess guys really do listen to us every now and again haha. Did I also mention the yummy red velvet Sprinkles cupcake and sweet rose he got? {swoons}

Have you ever hit a baseball? I just did and it is a lot harder than I thought!! One day later and my hand is still numb from the pressure and impact. Needless to say, eM did a lot better.

And to wrap up the weekend, we Redboxed “Playing for Keeps.”

me: this movie is boring. do you like it? 

eM: it’s ok, it’s every guy’s fantasy…this guy gets so many hot chicks! 

me: {picturing myself clobbering his head with a rolling pin.}

My friend came across this cartoon and it is def an accurate depiction of the convos eM and I have... 

Hope you had a good weekend as well!
