This is actually two weeks worth of pictures. I was out camping last weekend, and didn't get a chance to make my Lately post. 1///// I was in desperate need of summer clothing, and Amber agreed to go with me to Busan. We tore it up shopping at H&M, and had fun walking around Shinsegae (largest department store in the world). You can imagine my surprise when I walked by this display at one of the high end retailers. What the heck?! Can anyone explain to me how this outfit works. 2/////During our trip I tried bubble tea for the first time. I was not disappointed. 3/////I also bought this scarf. I didn't realize until I got home that the pattern reminds me of Lisa Frank Designs...to a T (where did this expression come from ... Read More

1///// Started the week off with a bang making homemade lotion and a sugar scrub. (Thank you Amber!)I'll post the recipe soon...or you can just go to Amber's blog and check hers out! 2///// I broke a record and went a whole SEVEN days without having to wash my hair. By day seven I'm proud to say my hair was still fairly fresh feeling. I couldn't believe on day five I could wear my hair down! Have you read my last post about not using shampoo? 3/////I also severed ties with any sort of my 'tomboy' self that may have lurked around from childhood. I bought two different shades of lipstick. I still am in slight denial as this picture clearly shows. 4///// I've always had a crazy love for cherries. As a matter of fact, I have absolutely ... Read More

I'm somewhat embarrassed that three posts are coming out of my blog today. Apparently the week was shorter than I thought. I usually do Lately posts on Thursday, but I decided to trade my blogging time in for a good ol' Jillian Michaels workout. Borneo is coming up quick (2 months!) Without further adieu, Lately: 1/////As most of you know, we went camping for the long weekend we were given in celebration of Buddha's birthday. We traveled up the coast with the destination of Seoraksan National Park in mind, and took our time enjoying the sights. And camping. And bonfires. 2/////Camping breakfasts are unbeatable. I don't care if you're a gourmet 5-start breakfast restaurant, camping meals will always win. 3/////We saw a ... Read More

I did pretty good this week with pictures. We had absolutely gorgeous weather...that's aways a bonus! 1. I spent a ridiculous amount of time painting my nails with an Aztec theme. Unfortunately I used regular nail polish instead of gel...and here I am 4 days later with 8 chipped nails. Boo. I'll remember for next time. 2. Went to the beach with a few friends last weekend while Derik was working. I felt bad soaking up the sun while he was slaving away, but it felt so good. 3. We went BACK to the beach the next day. This time with friends, Derik, and pulled pork. Yum! Nothing like a picnic on the beach. 4. I found out that the beach I've been spending 90% of my sunbathing time at the last year is a goldmine for sea glass! Crazy I ... Read More

1. The week started out with live music, drinks, and a ton of fun with my awesome friend Deanna. I'll be sad when she leaves in June (although she's not wasted any time with her countdown till 'America'), and will be taking applications for a new going-out buddy. 2. The 'mogis' (mosquitos) have pledged an all out war with me this year. In one night alone I had 9 bites on my right arm. That's just counting the bites on ONE arm!!! Derik and I have taken extra precautions to make sure they stay OUT of our house. If something doesn't change quickly, I'll be eating garlic by the clove. 3. My trusty 350w blender of 4 weeks decided to call it quits on Wednesday. I was not amused. Especially since I was making a double batch of ... Read More

1. The week started out rough, I'm not gonna lie. I was sick all Sunday night, woke up and popped my car's tire on the way to work, left my house keys in my car when I left it to drive D's car home, and then paper-cut the side of my eye at school. ...thankfully the day got better when the husband pulled the superhero card by: replacing the popped tire on his lunch break, sending me encouraging texts the entire day, and making me homemade (to die for) asparagus soup for dinner. Sigh. Am I lucky or what? 2. I ordered an outrageous amount a healthy amount of chia seeds off of Iherb, and have become OBSESSED with them. I love to put them everything. Smoothies, juice, yes...and even water. 3. Speaking of obsessed...is anyone else as crazy ... Read More

This week absolutely flew by for me. It scares me just a bit that it's already almost MAY and I just feel like 2013 started. Is this what it feels like to get old? Time gets faster and faster? Yikes. I'd hate to feel what it's like when I'm 60. The week was pretty uneventful, but I did enjoy the nice spring weather! -I bought six pairs of shoes a couple weeks ago, and have not been disappointed. They've been (by far) the most comfortable shoes I've ever bought. All of them. -Last weekend Instagram had a photo challenge that encouraged pet portraits. Jazz reluctantly participated. Speaking of Instagram, check mine out here. -I'm still on my smoothie kick...trying to drink one green smoothie a day ... Read More
