in review: King Spa and Sauna
It was a day of sweating and relaxing at King Spa & Sauna. I had heard of a place in Dallas that was huge, with different kinds of sauna rooms, Jacuzzi, pools and Korean-style food. Oh, and it’s open 24 hours a day (i don’t want to know the clientele they have at 3am). Once a Groupon was out, I bought it along…

quirks
Do you have any interesting quirks? I have way too many to note and I have nothing but love for the people who accept me in all my weirdness. Enjoy below: 1. I like the ends of brownies/pancakes and will sometimes just eat that. It’s the best part. Forget the soft center where the filling is, I like the ends.…

emotional currency
I recently stumbled upon this article that talked about the art of emotional currency. I remember when Justin and I first started dating, one of the very first gifts he ever got me was a mixed CD that he made himself.

this valentine’s day
Valentine’s Day is tomorrow, February 14th. I’m sure you have found tons of blogs that’ll show you a million DIY ideas, crafts, recipes and decor to celebrate the big day. I’m not going to do that.

a wedding to remember
Oh man this weekend came and went and I couldn’t have been part of a more beautiful wedding. My sister looked so happy and was smiling from ear to ear the entire night.

Here are a few things I would tell myself if I knew then what I know now… 1. In choosing a career, think about what you’re drawn to. If it’s being creative, quit applying to…

Hey guys! It was so great spending the holidays in California. Although it was my very first time being away from my family this year, the celebrations were wonderful. We did everything this girl could think of while visiting beautiful California including a day in Napa Valley, a Stanford basketball game followed by walking around downtown Palo Alto and sightseeing…

As my husband and I spent the holidays in California with his family, I couldn’t help but think back on the year and the major moments that made 2012 so special. Here are some of mine: 1.

Bridal Shower Ideas
Last month I shared a post about ideas on how to run a successful couples shower. Of course, with a couples shower comes a bridal shower, which we took part in this past weekend. Now my mom is the queen of parties and she throws some seriously good ones. With the experience of already hosting mine almost 2 years…

thanksgiving 2012
Thanksgiving 2012 has come and gone. Another year of sweet potato casserole, turkey, ham and pumpkin pie arrived in full force in a leave no prisoners kind of way. This year was especially important for me personally. With so many life changers, I am grateful for the opportunity to be in the creative space, my friends and family and my…
