Shabu shabu is the best recovery meal after a festival weekend

Coachella Weekend 1 For a weekend, I got to escape to paradise where I'm carefree, where I'm dancing, where I'm letting myself feel the music. An amazing festival that makes me re-fall in love with music festivals and raves. I guess I'm not quitting just yet!

Studying my history using this amazing book called "What Your Fifth Grader Needs to Know." Needless to say, I don't remember learning any of this in elementary. I wasn't the best student apparently 🙃

In celebration of national sibling day, here's to my one and only. We're sister goals 💕

reflections of an ex starbucks barista : I worked at Starbucks for two years while an undergraduate, and it was the best job possible for that time in my life. I worked night shifts in a space where I felt I learned customer service, making drinks and handling situations. Thankful I worked in a store (and not a college campus), but instead dealt with wealthy Newport families. My manager loved me! I was the only barista in a four year university, working towards a degree. I was also the youngest at age 19, when I started. My manager loved Disney and we would even sing Frozen duets together. As I sat at this Starbucks counter (at the location near my home), I reflected. Often times, I miss the hustling and bustling environment - I was juggling school, work, and commitment to my fraternity. I miss making the drinks, I was really darn good at it as well. One thing my Starbucks didn't have was a drive through. I watched the barista work the POS system, talking to customers over the intercom for an order as well as taking money from a customer at the window. She was very busy, always moving, handing money and handing drinks off. I wouldn't be good as a drive through barista. In conclusion. I learned a ton at Starbucks and to this day, my favorite job.

You have to learn to love yourself in order to spread love and positivity out in the world.

limitless (adj) ; no boundaries and endless space A trip to the beautiful Zion National Park, where the water was ice cold and my foot froze within my broken down nikes. In this canyon, I found adventure and awe. I've never felt so free, free from anxiety, free from stress, free from my own mind. Let there be wander, let there be dreams, let there be H O P E.

I'm so grateful to have my planning hobby. Although expensive and time consuming, it's the only thing that makes me feel at peace. I spend more time planning what I want to do, than actually doing my plans. Cheers to that ✨ One year+ into the planner community, and I finally have meet ups with planner friends. Why didn't I do this before, back when I loved it even more? Nonetheless, it's more exciting to share sticker tricks and tips, "talk planner" and understand each other 100%. No one else seems to understand.

Love (verb) : an unexplainable overwhelming sensation of need, want, longing of someone. The two I love the most in this world ; ❣️ I'm blessed to have this life

I love hidden gems such as this neon green and orange wall. We couldn’t keep our eyes open looking at it! 👀
