Dreams & Goals

Hi guys! So this blog post is not an everyday post for me, but I was inspired to talk about dreams and goals! This is probably going to be mumble jumbled up, but I hope you guys still take out something inspirational from this post.

Sooooo if you're stuck on where to go and who to be, think. Think about what you enjoy in life and what you spend most of your time doing on a daily basis! It may be difficult and frustrating, but trust me, you'll find your aspirations and your dreams somewhere in your heart. Just dig a little deeper.

Once you find out who you want to be and exactly where you want to be, don't just sit there. It's not going to just plop there right in front of your face. You have to go for it. You have to seek and find out the whole aspect ordeal of that dream. It took me awhile for me to comprehend that I aspire to become a Beauty Editor. I mean I know it's a long shot. I know it's definitely not going to be easy. However, I still want to go for it because THAT'S what I want to do. Obviously, I haven't tried it out yet. I may hate it, I might think this is not for me... but, I mean you have to try it out first. You can't be scared and stay in your comfort zone. Life is about taking risks and if it doesn't work out, then I'm sure there's something else out there for you. The world is ginormous. You shouldn't confine yourself into a small bubble, where you won't experience anything new, anything amazing. There's so much out there. You won't know until you try and just put yourself out there.
Well, that's why I applied for a beauty editorial internship this Spring. I'm starting next week. Some days when I think about it, I get super scared and siked out. It's definitely out of my comfort zone. I think about all the little things like awkward situations & I'm pretty awkward. I get terrified... but in order for you to achieve greatness, achieve your dreams, you have to take whatever it is, either it be pride or anxiety, aside and go for it.
Although I feel anxiety, on other days... I get soososososo excited about all the beauty products I'll be able to discover and try out and the events I'll be able to attend.... just all of that. It's one step closer to my dream and I want to try it out. You don't have to know what you want to be just yet. I think that's what internships are for. If you don't like it then move on. Try out a different internship the next semester. One step at a time. Break out of that shell because you'll have to some day in the future, why not now? Be one step ahead of the game.
 I have no idea where I'm headed at with this blog post, but I just wanted to just express what's on my mind, kinda like a diary. I hope you guys are doing great and thanks for reading!:) LOVE YA.

Grand Central & The Pershing Square Café

In a busy city like New York, sometimes it's just nice to stop and take in how gorgeous the city is. 

I've been living in New York City practically my whole life and one place I love going to is Grand Central and the Pershing Square Café. After watching Gossip Girl and Friends with Benefits, I feel.... how do you say it.... cool.... yeah lets use the word cool. I feel cool because for me it's crazy how when I see shows and movies, and I've been to the location where they filmed it, I feel like wow.... Justin Timberlake, Mila Kunis, Blake Lively, and all those celebrities were here. Hopefully you guys understand what I'm trying to say, but yeah. 

Well, I don't JUST like this place because of Gossip Girl and Friend with Benefits. I think Grand Central is so beautiful. The intricate detailing of the sculptures and the view of the Chrysler Building... especially at night time. It's simply gorgeous. 

Step inside. Tons of people rustling around to their destination. It's always extremely crowded inside. Go up the stairs and look down at everyone. To me, just looking down at everyone makes me happy. They all have places to go and different agendas. Although, it's so hustle bustle busy, somewhere there it gives me peace, if that makes any sense. 

Stand in the middle of Grand Central and look up. There's a mural of stars. A beautiful piece of art right in front of you. 

Downstairs is a place where you can grab some food. From falafels to Magnolia cupcakes, they have everything.

It's a great place to go. I love Grand Central. 

Now time to talk about The Pershing Square Café. The first time I went here, it straight away reminded me of Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. I seriously loved that movie, it made me cry. Well anyways, I love coming to this café for some tea and dessert. It's inexpensive and great to just sit and talk with your friends. I love how Grand Central is right in front of this café. I love sitting next to the window, where I can just look outside at everyone and okay. I kinda sound like a creeper. I look at people way too much. But, anyways yeah. I loving coming to The Pershing Square Café. LOVE IT. 

Here are some pictures of the day I went to Grand Central and The Pershing Square Café! 

 If you ever do come to NYC, I seriously recommend you to go to these two places! 

By the way, Happy New Years!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

First Thanksgiving Dinner

This was our first ever Thanksgiving Dinner in our family. Feelings of both joy and happiness were in the air. I was super excited and anxious for this busy busy day. I knew there would be a ton of preparation to be done. It was our first time cooking a turkey and baking a pie. First time for everything. I had no idea what to expect!

It was a very very very tiring day. Cooking all day is very difficult. I don't know how chefs do it. I love cooking, but man.... 

We went to Trader Joe's to purchase our brined 12 lb turkey the saturday before Thanksgiving. I put it in the freezer until the day before. I left it in the fridge to defrost! However, by Thanksgiving day it didn't melt all the way. It was practically still frozen. I think this was the biggest issue we had. We looked up how to defrost our turkey and man oh man. We did our best! It wasn't done till after we all had our first plates of food. However, that was okay! I think it was still super delicious. Well.... 

besides the turkey fiasco, I think we had a pretty successful first Thanksgiving dinner! Although we had a small kitchen and a small dining area, I am so thankful that we even had the space to create this scrumptious dinner.

I'm excited to cook our next Thanksgiving meal and hopefully we will start a tradition. 

Here are some pictures of our journey in creating our Thanksgiving dinner!

The next two pictures are pretty random, but hey gotta show you guys my eye make-up for the day. Nothing too fancy, but hey here ya go:) It was very very subtle. I didn't want to do anything crazy for my small, cozy thanksgiving dinner with my family. 

Omg. Looking through these pictures I remember how delicious everything was.
