It's not Monday

Surprise! I know it's not Monday but I haven't shared songs in a while, so I thought.. what the hell! It's my blog, I can do whatever I want! Here are some songs, I've been hitting replay! 

Such a Drag- Tennis System

I don't know what it is about this song, but I adore it.

It has that perfect edgy-nostalgic feel to it. 

I've literally been playing this song non-stop! 

Definitely my fav this month!

I Wanna Get Better - The Bleachers

Super indie peppy music! It feels like summer in a song. 

These are the Lies - The Cab

This song is great to listen to when you need a bit of a pick me up. 

Hunter- Still Parade

I've been finding a lot of awesome indie songs on Spotify! 

This song has that nostalgic 80's prom feel to it. 

Cheerleader - Omi

I'm ending this with a super fun song! 

I love this song, it makes me wanna grab a partner and Congo dance! 

Welps. Until next time!

December Favorites

First of all, I just want to thank all you readers and those of you who left lovely comments in my previous post! I'm definitely thinking a lot about everything. Anyways, let's put that on pause and get into my December favorites! December has been such a crazy month, although only a few items have made this list, there are a lot of things I loved but just can't remember! 

Paddywax Apothecary: Tobacco & Patchouli  

Up first is my candy from Paddywax! I was in Urban Outfitters, and I smelled this amazing candle. It has such an earthy smell, I knew I had to have it. Then I looked at the price. And I was like NO THANKS. $28 for a freaking candle?! I found a much cheaper alternative. 

It's made by the same company but it's much smaller. 

The smell is very strong, so the small one is just perfect and only for $5 bucks! 

Q & A- 5 Year Journal

I got this from my friend, and I've actually been filling it out! It asks 1 question a day and it's been making me reflect on my daily life. There are fun questions and there are also serious questions. 

Lets hope I don't quit halfway through! 

Fresh: Sugar "Cherry" 

This tinted lip balm is sooo hydrating! I love that it gives me a hint of color without being too flashy. My lips feel so nice after application, I definitely think it's a beauty must-have. 

Origins: Drink Up- Overnight Mask 

My face is so weird. It's oily yet dry at the same time! I don't even understand it myself. It's so difficult to find something that accommodates my oily skin without drowning it so I was super glad when  I found this mask! It makes my skin feel hydrated without feeling oily and gross. The mango smell makes it even better and all you really need is a tiny amount. 

I know it's a bit pricy but it totally lasts forever. 

Goldwell: Leave in Cream Fluid 

Every time I go to a salon, I never leave empty handed. The salon I go to always uses such amazing products on me and I always end up buying one or two things. This time was a leave-in conditioner. I've been having trouble looking for something that suits my dry-coarser hair, and I absolutely love this stuff. I put a little bit in my wet-hair after my shower and it leaves it baby smooth! 

VH1: Hindsight Tv Series 

Now this just aired on Wednesday, but I'm already in love with it and I though I would just mention it in my favorites. The pilot episode reeled me in completely. It has a certain charm and familiarity to the show and I just can't wait for the next episode! If you haven't seen it yet, it's about a girl named Becca and basically her life hasn't gone the way she wanted. She starts thinking about her past and how things would have turned differently if she decided a different path. She ends up, I guess, time traveling back to the past and it shows her doing things differently.

 It's such a fun show and its pretty relatable. Definitely check it out! 

And that's all folks, hope you liked my favorites and 

until next time!

Stuck between Wanderlust and Responsibility

I don't know about you, but ever since I was a kid I've been dreaming about traveling the world and seeing all the sights and sounds, eating and dancing my way from country to country. 

I'm sure every 20- something must have felt this way one time or another.. but recently I've been thinking about it a lot. 

Maybe it's because of the New Year or the fact that I'm in my last year of college but something is totally hit me. I'm never going to be as young as I am at this moment. 

I don't know whether to seize this moment or to postpone it. 

I'm stuck between wanderlust and responsibility. Yes, of course I want to go but the responsibility of finding a job and finding a stable path of life is equal in balance. I don't want to disappoint what I've been working for all my life, yet I also want to just ditch it all and run away. Also another small detail is holding me back- I got no money. I've heard and read about people who just pack up and leave and it turns out wonderfully for them- but they're always those people who are super outgoing and full of life and easy to talk to- you know the type. I feel like it would blow up in my face. 

The desire is real, but so is the nasty idea of becoming a grown up. 

Anyways, I don't know what to do! A lot of my friends already know what they're doing after college with their full-time careers and stuff. Yet here I am.. almost done with college with no freaking clue on what to do! I mean, what is really the point of slaving away in school only to slave away at a job? 

Have any of you felt this way? What did you decide to do? 

Did you follow your curiosity of the world or did you find a way with a career? 

I'd really love to know.

Christmas Shenanigans

Merry (belated)Christmas! I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday :) Mine was quite nice. *cue flash back blurp* I played board games (Clue and Monopoly) with my cousins and my brother. We had a huge Christmas lunch. Christmas in my family means lots of Asian food and a hint of American food. My cousin made some super yummy potatoes that were TO DIE FOR. I actually want some now just thinking about it! 

 This is me and my brother on Christmas morning! We had to wait forever to rip into our presents because my mom wanted to take photos. The onesie I'm wearing is from target and honestly, it is like the best thing ever! It's so comfy and amazing. I love it! 

I am in no way bragging about my presents, I just wanted to share what I got! 

I got some really lovely gifts from friends and family. 

I'm not gonna go into detail about each one but my favorite has to be the rayban sunglasses!

I can't believe my brother got it for me! I made a post earlier on about not wanting to splurge on expensive things, but this is honestly such an amazing gift! I'm definitely going to take good care of it! 

Well anyways, I hope ya'll had a good holiday! 

Until next time! x 

Sweaters and Pajamas

 If that fire isn't putting you into the Christmas mood, I don't know what will! My brother finally turned on our fireplace, and it's absolutely warming (get it)! Can you believe that we never turn it on, even during the winter?!

Anyways, this weekend has been a doozy. I went to my annual Christmas party with my cousins and friends and I was suppose to go to an Ugly Sweater party the same night but my stomach did not agree with me. Don't you just hate it when your stomach totally ruins the night?!

Ignoring my stomach, I had a pretty good time at the party. It was nice catching up with everyone and I freaking loved my sweater! I got it from BooHoo.

So I'm gonna keep this post nice and sweet. 

Until next time! x
