Words of Wisdom #33

"If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done."

- Vince Lombardi

Things I Want Tuesday

I own quite a few bags, and honestly they don't get enough rotation in my daily life. I normally stick with my faithful Longchamps, leather brown hand tooled tote bag from Mexico, my cross body Kate Spade, and Strand Bookstore tote bag. I have another 5-8 bags in my closet just sitting in their dust bags!!! I seriously need to find a better system to rotate them! I can't help but continuously lust over bags I come across online. These next few bags are on the top of my list :)
 
Ahhh I love Vineyard Vines, and I love their collegiate tote bags!!! I absolutely fell in love with this bag!!! Must have! And, I also want the Georgetown version. :)

Post Secret #29

via Post Secret
Yes, I am a non-believer and I go to mass with my nana. I can't imagine what it would do to her if she found out I was a naturalist. I feign interest to make her happy, because seeing her happy makes me happy. I love my nana dearly.

words of wisdom wednesday #32


"Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't."

- Eleanor Roosevelt
 
 I need to implement this more in my everyday thought process or rather make it more consistent. Key to being happy: do what you feel is right and what you love regardless of what others say or think :)

Happy hump day!

Currently coveting

I've been M.I.A. for quite a bit and its time that I slowly made my come back. :)

Currently on my I want list! :)

I love Dogeared necklaces. I've had my eye on a few of them for a while now, but this one really caught my attention. I think its very appropriate for each woman to feel empowered and to know that we are hear and are going to be heard! Because afterall, we are all unique, beautiful, and strong!

Silence

I know I've been a bad blogger. I've been rather quiet around these parts. I've been dealing with my own self. THey say we are own worst enemy. Today was a good day. Actually a great day. Better than others. Mostly because I got to tagalong with the BFF to drive up to Santa Barbara to pick up his little brother from school. And, I even got to walk for a bit along Goleta Beach! And...wait for it....wade in the water for a bit. I haven't done that in quite a long time, so long that I don't even recall when was the last time. It was so nice to just have that me time on the beach. Going to the beach has always been one of my favorite things, sadly I don't do it enough. I really need to change that. It makes me happy. After all at one point I did want to be a marine biologist. (I still know a lot of random facts about the ocean, animals, plant life, and the ecosystem.) I think I'm due for a full day trip to the beach, provided that I lather myself with sunscreen, otherwise I'll end up as one huge red tomato! Not fun.

I must remain positive and strong. I have my CSETs this Saturday and I can do this!
