30 Day Challenge: Day 25

Someone who fascinates you and why.

Jason Molina is one of my top favorite singer/songwriters of all time, and consequently is very fascinating to me. He's a solo artist and has works under his name, Songs: Ohia and Magnolia Electric Co. All I can say is that he's one of the most brilliant and highly underrated artists of our time and that his music is truly a gift. Here are two of my favorite songs of his:

lioness


tigress

Your Song

Ahhh romance ... sigh

ps Ewan McGregor was #6 for Day 23

30 Day Challenge: Day 24

Your favorite movie and what it's about.

Honestly, I don't have a favorite movie, but there are so many that I really enjoy. I like movies that take me far away from reality like The Matrix, the Harry Potter movies or comic book movies like Batman, Spiderman and the X-Men. I also like smart funny romantic movies like Easy A, Say Anything, and Good Will Hunting.

Reality Check

For the first time in a while, I find myself with absolutely no social life... Besides the occasional Facebook comment of course!

My nightly routine now consists of watching reality TV and being annoyed at how reality shows repeat and make things ten times longer than they need to be and ALWAYS cut to commercial, enticing me to the kitchen for some unhealthy snaking. It's a little sad, and my condition will only deteriorate if Stefano stays on American Idol for another week...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!

I hope you like your

Cake

and flowers

and I hope you have an excellent and relaxing day (& year)!!

Love you xoxo

30 Day Challenge: Day 22

How have you changed in the past 2 years?

I have changed a tremendous amount in the past 2 years. Specifically, I'm more confident today compared to the woman I was 2 years ago. Professionally,

I've come out of my shell

and I'm ready to climb the "corporate ladder".

I've experienced a lot, not all of it positive, but I've come out of it more experienced and more self assured. I'm still sometimes too friendly for my own good, but I'm learning to say no and working on expressing myself more clearly and with more confidence.

I'm proud of the lady I see in the mirror.

30 Day Challenge: Day 20 & 21

How important you think education is.

Personally, I consider myself very fortunate to have gotten a great University education. It allowed me to learn so much about myself and gain confidence in the process; however, the term education encompasses more than just getting a degree. It means learning, exploring, experiencing, making mistakes, pushing yourself, growing and evolving. So yes, I believe that getting an education, in all of its different forms, and continuing to learn is extremely important!

One of your favorite shows

One of my favorite shows is Top Chef!! It's a reality show (on the Food Network) that puts its contestants through culinary challenges, after which their dishes are judged by some of the best chefs (or guests) from around the world. Here's a clip from one of the best episodes ;)

F Off Winter!!

30 Day Challenge: Day 17, 18 & 19!

Your highs and lows of this past year.

Lows:

- My tumultuous ex (relationship).

- Feeling trapped in a dead-end headache inducing job.

Highs:

- Finally being able to relate to that exhilarating feeling of freedom that teenagers experience when they drive solo for the first time.

Your beliefs

I believe in always using a cleanser (not soap!) to wash my face, moisturizing everyday, spinning, 8 hours of sleep a night, fresh coffee, long walks, broccoli almost everyday, kindness, compassion, understanding, patience, silence, good music, and Nutella for breakfast.

Disrespecting your parents

I think disrespecting your parents' wishes (to a certain extent) as a teenager is a healthy part of growing up- there will always be that generational gap that will inevitably lead to conflicts. As an adult, I have so much respect for my parents as individuals and can't imagine treating them with anything less than the respect they deserve.

All Time

This used to be one of my favorite songs of all time... and it's still so goddamn amazing!


all time- january

It's Spring!

Today there's a snow storm warning... The last one of the season I hope!!

- Lots of cooking & baking: chili, cornbread, crème de menthe pie & lemon cream cheese pie!

- J-L came back from the craziest workout camp for elite triathletes (9 hrs of workouts per day, everyday for 8 days!!) so I went to the gym.

Unique Art

How cool would it be to frame his & hers DNA!? Apparently you can have it done: a company sends you a kit at home, you send in your spit or whatever, personalize your art piece even more by choosing its size & colour, and it's shipped to your home! They can even send you a print of your kiss- just the right amount of sass for my future apartment x
