resolutions

I'm going back 6 months...remember these new hobbies I desired? In 2010 I am going to make an honest attempt to stick with them!

I'm also going to stick with my standard drink more water and floss more! Oh, and blog more!

yummy holiday treats

There was a snow storm in Boston, so I spent my Sunday baking. I wrapped some of the goodies up for gifts, but the rest is for me and my roommates to enjoy for our final nights together before we go home for winter break.

pretty hair inspiration

As I procrastinate with studying I have been braiding my hair, and thought I would share some beautiful braids.

back...for now

Hello Hello, it's chilly in Boston today!

I have returned from my journeys in the oh so warm Dominican Republic, and have come back a little tanner! I had a wonderful time sipping pina coladas by the pool and swimming in the beautiful ocean.

Some downers though, I lost my camera :( and I learned red eye flights are not my friend. Besides that, I am ready for my next vacation! It's going to have to wait though, because I have a final to study for and hopefully ace, and then who can believe it's Christmas next week!

I am almost done with my shopping, and I think i did a really great job this year, hopefully everyone will love what I give them. I'll post about it later!

busy busy

It's a stressful time right now. Today and tomorrow are my last days of class, and I have a final papers, presentation and a test. But...on Wednesday all my troubles will be over and I will be on a plan to the Dominican Republic with AJ. I am beyond excited, especially since it's starting to really feel like winter in Boston.

Now all I need to do is find time to pack! This might be the last post for a little while...enjoy the cold weather (if you like it!), holiday shopping and curling up with your best friends or cuddle partner to watch movies and sip hot chocolate!

stop and smell the roses

Ever have a rough day, and you don't think it could get any worse. That's how I was yesterday, but then something turned my day and made me realize I was being silly and needed to focus on the important things (I tend to spend too much time stressing over things I have no control of). When I walked into my apartment, there were flowers waiting for me with a sweet note. It definitely brightened up my day, and now I feel inspired to do the same for someone I care about. And what better way to pay it forward than with beautiful flowers!
