Yesterday, husband and I went to see Hillsong United in concert. It was unbelievably spectacular! I had been wanting to see them live for so long so when the opportunity came I made sure to get tickets early. We sat far up but it was because I wanted to just see the whole thing from...

*Spoiler Alert* Don't recommend reading my review if you plan to read the book. I first read, Divergent, by Veronica Roth in late 2013 and totally enjoyed it. I actually read the trilogy back to back and finished them all within three days (I did the same with the Game of Thrones series...read them back... Continue Reading →
I love reading. My genre of interest is sci-fi and fantasy but I will also read other genres if they are interesting. Last year, I did a marathon and read 101 books with most being sci-fi and fantasy. This year, I've lowered my goal to 25 books. I wanted to read without any pressure of... Continue Reading →
This was beautiful to see. I think I'm going to celebrate and rest this brain for a couple of days. I'm kidding myself about that. There's no rest. I've got 8 books waiting to be read yet. I am glad to be done with this challenge though. Now I can continue to read for pure... Continue Reading →
Husband and I celebrated our 13th anniversary last Sunday. I think as we get older we celebrate a little less each year. Normally, I require a big expensive gift + a lavish dinner. Kidding. Normally, I like to get something to remind me of our anniversary...nothing expensive of course...just something small, but this year I... Continue Reading →
The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon was a book I read based on good reviews on Goodreads.com. I really had no idea what I was getting myself into because it was my first sci-fi dystopian fantasy with paranormal, but I ended up loving it. There's something about Samantha's writing that draws me to the characters... Continue Reading →
I love Pad Thai so much that it's pretty much what I order when I eat out at a Thai restaurant. I've had bad Pad Thai before and I've also had really awesome Pad Thai (in Miami in 2013). I'm still searching for the perfect Pad Thai here, where I live. In the mean time,... Continue Reading →
I went and got myself a new lip gloss. I wasn't in need of one but I haven't worn any in ages. I was never a big fan of glosses. They're usually sticky, overly scented, overly flavored, and never last longer than a few minutes. I believe the last time I wore a good gloss... Continue Reading →
This morning, while husband was drinking his coffee and looking out the kitchen window, he saw a hawk as it perched on the neighbor's satellite dish. He yelled for the family to come look so I grabbed the camera and ran toward the kitchen. The hawk stayed there for about 2 hours! Instead of taking... Continue Reading →
I'm not in any urgent need for more makeup but ended up buying more than I'll ever wear anyway when I dropped by Ulta to only buy shampoo and conditioner. Makeup is my weakness. I should know better than to drop by Ulta with only my 5-year-old who actually helped me pick out the Glinda... Continue Reading →
