I can't find enough GIF's to convey my thoughts
I always feel like I’m talking too much on Tumblr, so I’ve converted. Some of my favorite old posts, some stuff I never posted, and some new stuff :)

Day 19: 5 Items you lust after
As much as I really really want to say I don’t lust after material things, today I will admit that I have a soft place in my heart (or wherever material desires are stored) for Chanel chain purses
dammit!
But other than that, the only thing I’m lusting after right now is...

Rules for my unborn son (or unborn French bulldog...
31. Love your work — Cuz honey, once you make it to the real world you’re going to spend most of your time at work. Do you want to spend most of your time unhappy?? Do ya?!
32. Trust your personal compass — I’m not talking about right and wrong (oh wait, I’m your mom. So… I’m always talking about right and wrong? I’m confused. Someone needs to write rules for mothers of unborn sons) but really....

Day 17. Something You're Proud Of
That’s Easy.
I am so, so grateful for getting to play Momma bird to this:
KP CORE, you are the epitome of empowerment.
A few weeks ago Jacob sent me a picture of all of you at your end of the year dinner and it made me so ecstatic to see so many faces I’ve never seen in my entire life. I laughed and thought back to all the times the O.G. CORE Board would sit at info meetings...

Day 16. Something You Always Think “What If” About
I plan and I worry and I question everything. Sometimes my what if’s let me make excuses, talk me out of things, and make me run. But times are changing boys & girls and I’m growing up (hopefully) and I’m learning that there are some things you can’t prepare for. Some situations you can’t plan out....
Aquarius
Day 15. Your Zodiac/Horoscope and if you think it fits your personality
Aquarius is an idealistic thinker who more than any other sign is drawn to the concept of living life outside the box. This is a progressive individual who resists being caught up in conventional boundaries and rules, and who actively seeks out change for his benefit and often for the benefit of humanity as a whole. ...

Day 14. What you wore today
Well except that today I found this at my morning job:
It’s a fcking Louis Vuitton briefcase! This guy left it behind at a meeting, then forgot it as he rushed to the airport… only to realize once he was back in Canada that the keys to his Mercedes weren’t with him. Wtf! Somebody slap me when I’ve reached the point in my life where a...

Day 13. How you feel about your body and how comfortable you are with it
Hi. I’m human and I have insecurities.
But I’ll never tell anybody to “release their insecurities”. They’re natural and, in my opinion, they keep us humble.
I’m short, with big calves, and my hair is out of control.
Sometimes I look at my boy legs and wish they would look more like the ones in fashion blogs. And then...

Day 12. Five Guys Whom You Find Attractive (holy crap i didn’t think i’d make it 12 days! haha)

Day 11. Your Family
I used to struggle a lot with the fact that my family was so unconventional. Sure there are too many last names for one household, but when it all boils down, I have something a lot of people don’t. I’ve got a support system encouraging me to chase happiness, see the world, and take bigger chances. We may not all be blood, but we’re everything a family should...

Day 9. How Important You Think Education Is
I’ve given so much of myself to education, you’d think the answer to this would be really easy for me. but it’s not. I hit writers block, but I think this just about sums it up:
It’s important to me that people are given opportunities to get to higher education, if that’s what they want. It’s important to me that...

Day 8. What you ate today
I need to get my wisdom tooth out so i’m taking antibiotics that make me incredibly hungry ALL the damn time. So, lucky you, I ate a full 3 meals today instead of one meal that I eat so slowly that it lasts me the whole day. lol (I laugh, but it’s true)
For breakfast I had an asiago bagel with cream cheese and honey baked ham. My favorite on the go breakfast meal. And if you know me,...

Day 6. Views on Mainstream Music
A friend of mine said this once and I absolutely agree, “hips or heart, it’s gotta move me”
Even though I’ll kick it with People Under The Stairs, I still know all the words to Wale’s verse on “No Hands”. And Even though Soulja Boy would never make it to my ipod, I’ll admit that “Pretty Boy Swag” is, like, my favorite guilty pleasure. I...

Day 3. A Book You Love
Grown-ups love figures. When you tell them that you have made a new friend, they never ask you any questions about essentail matters. They never say to you, “What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he collect butterflies?” Instead, they demand: “How old is he? How many brothers has he? How much does he weigh? How much money does his father make?” Only from these...

Day 2. Something you feel strongly about
Do what you love. That’s all there is to it, really. You’ve never heard anyone say they regret chasing their dreams. I think about all the most vibrant, genuinely happy people I’ve met in my life and the one thing they all have in common and they’re never spend their days at a 9-5 to pay the bills, waiting for the day they’ve saved up enough to pursue their happiness....

Day 1. Five Ways to Win Your Heart
Everyone deserves someone who makes them laugh, takes them for who they are, values their family, and so on. Everyone. So my list is some extra stuff I’ve learned to value via my own trail and errors with boys. AKA stuff that doesn’t send me running for the hills. lol
1. Versatility — I wanna be able to take you from the Beatles to the Beastie Boys. I wanna be able to take you...

Dry spell
Sorry folks, this month totally flew by and I’ve just realized I’ve barely written anything.
My mind is definitely in need of the creative release that writing brings to me, but i’m having trouble getting back into it (And by trouble, I mean NINE unpublished drafts!). So here’s the plan:
I know, I know. It’s not my style but I want to start writing constantly and...

27. Learn another language fluently… You know, so that you can write grammatically correct blogs to your own unborn hijos.
28. T.A.M. Travel like a mothafucka! Most classrooms will offer you knowledge, but travel (when done correctly) will educate you. If you want to put off college to travel, I’ll buy you a toothbrush holder and wave profusely from the security gate.

Dear Daniboy,
what better time to dig up embarrassing pictures of our friendship? i am one ecstatic little boy right now :)

If there’s anything I’ve learned in the past few weeks, it’s this:
You have to be good to yourself.
I realize I haven’t exactly discovered a cure for cancer or anything of epic proportions, but for a lot of girls I know (and maybe some guys too) this is a lesson we’re all starting to learn. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately since I’ve gotten back from the Philippines, where...
