Week 1 Goals: Mostly Complete & Week 2 goals

So about this post.

I didn't get a job, but I surely applied to MANY. I have an interview later this week!

I visited my high school, which is always a blast, especially because it's been under construction for 3 years and it's always changing.

(my old locker!)

I did a diy project, but I actually failed at taking pictures of the completed product - but they will surely turn up in an oufit post! Here's a glimpse:

(inspired by Annie Spandex)

And my friend taught us how to make sushi at her Japanese restaurant - so lesson learned!

Week 2 goals:

1. Sew something!

2. Show off my newly organized room (to you!)

3. Make a DIY tutorial.

4. Go tanning.

5. Get a job.

happy valentine's day

To be honest I'm always dismayed by the lack of enthusiasm for Valentine's Day. I know it's a Hallmark Holiday, and people are cynical, and it sucks for single people, and the expectations for a good valentine's day can be too much, and too much pink and red makes some people want to puke, but I CAN'T GET ENOUGH.

So I do my best to spread the cheer :)

Today, I made those cupcakes to give out to people in my dorm building.

They're strawberry and chocolate marble with pink vanilla icing and white hearts.

Yummm!

And I'm not the only one with Valentine's Day cheer - a friend was giving out these lollipops :]

And to wear today, even though it's Sunday and all that's on the agenda is cupcake baking and distributing and lots of homework, I made a Valentine's Day dress.

(Sans cardigan)

Whole outfit:

And see, it even has a cute little heart cut-out

 Close up it's only sort of shoddy:

And the shoes.

Question of the day: How do you feel about Valentine's Day?

Follow-up: How do you feel about the movie, Valentine's Day?

Oh, and of course, Happy Chinese New Year!

 

Or maybe your prefer this tiger

Or.....maybe not.

love (and some extra love today!) and right triangles,

obligatory food porn post

LA is heaven for foodies. I'm not really a foodie, but I enjoyed every meal I had.

Some highlights: (and if you're ever in LA, I highly recommend these places!)

The Number Nine in Long Beach, CA.

It's a MUST to get the Calamari. For serious, yo.

Pink's (I actually don't really recommend this place, but it's legendary)

Famous chili dogs = long line and major disappointment.

Wurstküche (absolute amazing, DEFINITELY go there)

They have gourmet sausages and delicious fries with really awesome sauces.

(Pictured here: Mango Jalapeno sausage with sweet and spicy peppers; fries with Curry Ketchup)

And last but not least, YOGURTLAND! (I'm addicted and crying inside at the thought of no Yogurtlands in New York)

SO GOOD.
