my 2012 resolutions
i love new years. and i love making new year’s resolutions. so here are my 2012 resolutions -
1. quit the gym. give to charity. yes, you read correctly. i donate money to nysc monthly and it is time to stop. instead, i’ll make more of an effort to donate to actual charities. this nifty little website is helping me get started – [52x52.org]
2. eat less carnivorously, more healthy. i’ve recently become inspired by some of the people around me to eat less meat and make more health-conscious decisions about food. and i’m about to turn 30 this year so a little effort to reverse age couldn’t hurt… [no meat, no dairy, no problem]
3. go on an information diet? in efforts to absorb as much information as possible, i’ve become a scanner. as in i scan the headlines but rarely bother to dive in-depth. i’m not sure if this is such a terrible thing so it’s a question mark. i’m saying this as i subscribe to yet another rss feed… but i really ought to spend less time surfing needlessly on facebook. too frequently i end up learning something better left unknown.
4. productively, creatively. this one is now a resolution repeat three years in a row. when i’m home, sitting on the couch and mindlessly watching netflix/hulu or surfing the web is just too easy of a habit. my mind wants to be more productive with projects but my lazy ass keeps winning. i think this is going to be a life-long battle. [how to lead a creative life]
5. show love better. i come from a a family that practices tough love. i can probably count the times my mom has told me she loves me with two hands. and you can forget about dad, his love is expressed through cash. so instead, mom shows her love by constantly criticizing my sister and i because somehow this translates into “i’m telling you this because i care.” i know they both deeply love me but that is not how i want to live my life and i’m afraid of becoming more like them as time passes. i am fighting very hard to avoid this.
welp, so that’s that. and if that got boring and you skipped down to this part, check out this site for other people’s simplified resolutions – [toresolveproject.com]. happy new year!
blowing bubbles from your necklace
been really busy with moving and i still have to unload all the photos i took in maine but so far i’ve had no luck finding the camera cord. have a bit more unpacking left to do… but now i’m on to the fun part(?) of spending money buying things for the new abode, including another le creuset piece to add to my collection! so i definitely can’t afford this necklace but how adorable!

all-time high search term that brings you to my blog
is the term “mcgangbang.”
second is “lumberjack costume.”
i should blog more.
say yes to the ring!
this dior ring has been on my wishlist ever since it came out but i can’t find it anywhere. maybe it’s time to give up and find a “poor man’s replacement” such as this one on [etsy] -
my head is a jungle, jungle
emma louise – jungle
psa for a little known affliction
Just doing my bit to spread awareness for this common, but little understood condition. Thousands around the world are affected by chronic bitchface, with sufferers having to endure being told to “SMILE” and “cheer up” by well meaning, but irritating strangers. There is no known cure.
i love her illustrations and this particular one is just so perfect. i wish i could share it with some of my coworkers who accuse me of “not being a morning person.”

a gal’s gotta have her bag…
i’ve been trying to not spend money on “frivolous” purchases for a couple of months now (recuperating from major holiday spending.) but…when i saw the bag i’ve been eyeing online for the past year in person at a steven alan store, i decided i had to have it. waiting for it to arrive with my initials embossed. can’t wait!
