sour cupcakes?

just one of those days when a nap and netflex in bed would have been absolutely perfect. instead i went to work, came home, lounged, and decided to bake cupcakes to warm up-- all of which are now in the trash. who knew expired eggs make perfectly good-looking chocolate cupcakes taste like a gigantic sour glass of milk?  lesson learned, my friends.

how to be a friend.





respect people who find time for you in their busy schedule.
but love people who never look at their schedule when you need them.

so pretty.


maybe to balance out my (mostly!) black wardrobe 
i should get some colorful fall and winter jackets. 
i'm thinking this would be a good step forward for me and my black clothing obsession...
*ps: those boots on the left hand side need to be on my feet.

sex-pot.



holy shoes.
you're killin' me.

word of the wise.



"If we listened to our intellect we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go in business because we'd be cynical:
 "It's gonna go wrong." Or "He's going to hurt me." Or,"I've had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore . . ." 
Well, that's nonsense.
You're going to miss life.
You've got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down." 

-Ray Bradbury

9/11.



"never go through life saying you should have,
if you want to do something-- you do it."

inspiring.
must watch.

be unique.



"when you embrace your difference, 
your DNA, your look 
or heritage or religion or your unusual name, 
that’s when you start to shine."

don't settle.



Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
