Turning another year older has only fueled my need to continue exploring, challenging myself, seeking creative outlets, and devouring good food. I see each year as another opportunity to outdo the previous year. My 20s, thus far, haven’t let me down. My co-workers and I at work have decided that the older you get, you [...]

projects & loose ends
Status Update: Officially moved in! Still engaged. Just got cable and internet. Starting to feel like home…
Mood: Exhausted, but excited. Starting a new life while still trying to reconcile with your old one is not an easy task.

Day 2
It’s been hard playing catch-up this past month! I can’t believe it’s already nearing the end of July!

Northwest tour
Lipstick on Paper will be on hold until I get back from my Seattle conference. The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of activity and changes, thus March was able to creep up without any warning!

finding a home within a home
So I put off writing an entry explaining my whole San Francisco living situation for some time now. I don’t even like discussing it in person; it’s almost like trying to explain to people why I had to let go of the “potential love of my life.” Broken up before anything even got started!
It lasted [...]
