Happy Memorial Day

Enjoy the sunshine. Eat a hot dog. And then ask yourself what Memorial Day is for. Then tell me, because I have no idea. Hollllaaaa! Day off. Boy is here. Kissing ensues. Haha just kidding. Peace.

Kiss Her

via: design is mine

Seriously. You should do it.

Funny story. I probably wouldn't be in the greatest relationship I have ever had the chance of experiencing had he not come to my graduation and kissed me. It was our last chance to see each other. He was moving back to SoCal. I didn't think he would come. It was 7 in the morning. But he did. Surprised us both really. But it sealed the deal. Sealed with a kiss maybe? Ok, that was lame. But had it never happened, what we had would have fizzled out.

So do it. You never know what life has in store.

I love the new Fall lookbook for Club Monaco that was shot by Garance Dore. She uses her usual street style photography to capture these looks. Love it.

30 Things #13

A fictional book:


I must have been in Junior High when I read this. But I remember it being a really good book for a girl that was just young, confused, naive, and dealing with growing up different.

31 things I wish I'd known about dating when I was 21

Glamour has little list that Erin Meanley complied called "31 things I wish I'd known about dating when I was 21".

Here’s a few that caught my attention:

2. Sometimes guys flirt with you or pay attention to you because it makes them feel good about themselves. (Hey, we do it, too.)

A lot of females get upset when a guy they are interested talk to other girls or make themselves available to other girls. We need to realize that just because we do certain things, such as flirt to get our way, that guys do the same things. We can’t hold ourselves above them just because we feel that we deserve his undivided attention. So next time ladies, you get upset about something like that, take a look at yourself and observe what you are doing too.

19. Your wants and needs are just as important as his, and if you don't express them because you think it will scare him away, then you're saying you don't count as much as he does.

Oh man, this is something I only realized maybe in the past year. In my past relationships I was always afraid that if I said something confrontational that it would scare him away. So I kept things to myself and acted all tough like nothing bothered me. In the end, it always blew up in my face. So I have learned to be open and honest about how I’m feeling, whether things are amazing and I want to tell them that they are, or if something is bothering me. So far, in terms of relationships, it has been my greatest lesson learned.

25. Women love attention. A guy needs to be pretty crazy about you in order for him to pay enough attention to make you happy long-term.

For reals ladies. Show your man some love. If he makes you happy, don’t forget to make him happy.

28. Never underestimate the quality of "interesting." Men want someone interesting. They really do. Find some hobbies.

Oh hells yes. And he is not a hobby. While you’re at it, make some friends too. He should never be your only best friend. Real talk. Because when it ends (and it always will), you don’t want to be alone.

Disclaimer: Now I am not a man, nor do I pretend to be (well sometimes). These are just my opinions and I will not be one to save your relationship if it is already going down the drain. But if you are true to yourself and love yourself enough, you will know what is good for you and what isn't.

Homebaked Bread

Attempted to make this.

I read the Cook's Tip after the fact and forgot to leave the milk out to warm to room temperature so it didn't rise as high as it probably should. Oh well, it's pretty tasty bread and it makes the house smell sooo divine.
