Thank you all for the well wishes yesterday and today. Yesterday’s operation went really well—the doctors and nurses were so sweet and gentle. It took a while, but was as smooth as possible. I was nauseous all day yesterday and had a massive headache. Today there’s no pain or nausea, but I still have the horrible headache. Hopefully it will go away soon with plenty of rest and fluids.
Thanks especially to my sweet boyfriend who took 2 days off work to cart me around, comfort and take care of me. Thanks also to the wonderful people I work with at CitizenGlobal who have been so understanding with my doctors appointments and taking these past 2 days off. I love you all.

I’m having surgery tomorrow morning. It’s minor. No big deal really. But, you know, still kinda scary. The only other surgery experience I’ve had was getting my wisdom teeth removed a few years ago. That was pretty horrible, and I’m really trying not to think about it.
I found these awesome posters on Pinterest and was really encouraged by the I Can Do It message.
A couple weeks ago I talked about one of my new favorite colors, Cobalt. Well my love affair continues so I decided to do a round up of some pretties I’ve collected on Pinterest. It’s such an exciting color, don’t you think?
Unique LA // I’ve posted about this event before, but I want to talk about it again. Last weekend was the Unique LA Spring Showcase, and it was awesome. I am always amazed by the sheer number of vendors. The market is cavernous, going on and on and on. It’s easy to loose your sense of direction. I bought a lot of gifts this year, and a few items that have been on my own wishlist for a while. I’ll post more about the vendors I bought from later this week, so stay tuned! Image
Motown Music from Hitsville USA // I love Motown music. I’ve always known I was a fan, but for the past few days I’ve been listening to the Hitsville USA collection, and WOW, it’s amazing. Just one fabulous song after another. I highly recommend it for party background music, cooking in the kitchen music, working music, or just feel good spontaneous dancing music. The whole thing is on Spotify too, which is awesome.
Kim Weston // Take Me In Your Arms (Rock Me A Little While) —One of my favorites!
The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein // I finished this book in 2 days. I was also having a really bad case of insomnia, but that’s besides the point. This book is awesome. If you are a dog owner/lover you must read this book. If you are an animal lover in general, you should read this book. Also, if you like cars and/or race car driving, you should read this book. It’s the story of the family dog watching and interpreting the goings on in the family dynamic. He is a philosopher and yet, and animal which is really interesting. This book has changed the way I think about the world, especially when I interact with the animals that inhabit this space with us.
Everyone knows going out for Mother’s Day is a huge hassel. It’s always packed and loud. So why not prepare a big beautiful brunch for your mom in the comfort of your own kitchen? My brother and I will be teaming up on Sunday to treat my mom to crepes, flowers, and mimosas!
Here’s some brunch inspirado for your weekend, plus some printables! Enjoy the invite and gift tag below!
I love bougainvilleas, and I’m lucky because they’re everywhere here in Los Angeles. I took my camera out last weekend and captured some pretty photos of my neighbor’s bush (vine?). I was sitting underneath the plant shooting up with a shallow depth of field, which gave the photos this bright, etherial, abstract feel. So pretty, and so springy!
I had to share a little excerpt from Bossypants with you all that kind of explains what I was talking about earlier this week. Tina Fey is so open and honest, and yet discloses her secrets with such a witty sense of humor. I love how great she is at laughing at herself.
What do you give the woman who has given you everything? Well, here are some ideas! It’s this Sunday people, so get on it! (These lovely items were sourced from my Objectification Pin Board!)
M has been working out of state for 5 weeks now. He comes home at the end of this week and I can not wait! These truisms stuck out to me today as I was looking through Pinterest. Here is some encouragement for anyone who is far from their loved one(s).
