Sundays have definitely been on my recent list of "loves" when it comes to the weekends. Waking up past 12pm might seem like a waste of time to some people, but to me it's really the only opportunity I get to be a couch potato *nervous laughter*. One of the many activities I enjoy doing on this splendid day of the week is waking up to the aroma of sweet, scented coffee. Drag this alongside with me while I cuddle up against my bed watching Chuck has been a great stress-reliever. I've been trying to slowly dwell back into the world of caffeinated drinks (specifically coffee) after giving up this addiction for the Lent season. Having the chance to blow the dust off my Keurig machine is a complete thrill because I did indeed miss my baby (can you imagine all the pathetic pouts I made each morning while I'm in the kitchen eating breakfast without a cup of a coffee?). Lately my heart has been stolen by this one specific K-Cup flavor from Gloria Jean's Coffee:





The deliciousness that is a flavored cup of Macadamia Cookie coffee.

At first I was quite hesitant to try out something that sounds so sickly sweet--A cookie flavored coffee AKA diabetes-on-the-move. Now I'm glad that I actually took the plunge and surprisingly, the first sip had me HOOKED. Add in a bit of almond milk and perfection is created... It's like they somehow took a batch of hot out of the oven cookies and smushed it with coffee beans to create this miracle drink!

It's really within these moments of my life that makes me smile whenever I read back on my past posts. Being able to capture the essence of my everyday routine in photographs might not be all too exciting for some (pffffttt, a coffee cup!), but to me, it is extremely enthralling. These pictures are healthy reminders of what makes me happy on a sunny Sunday afternoon. :) Really guys, it's the simple things that can make the world go round. In my world at least.

There's always been a never ending battle between me and my hair. For the past five years I've been struggling to get my hair to grow past my chest, but that process was a rather painful and horrific experience. Split ends were sprouting all about, tangled messes that had to be constantly brushed, and shedding that could rival any furry animal. All right, maybe I'm exaggerating it, but not by a lot.

Thus, I finally decided to wave the white flag. Good bye old hairdo, hello new-do!


Do you ever get that sigh of relief when you've dropped your purse on your bed after a long day at work? That's how I felt when my locks were cut off. All that burden of a disaster--GONE. I was actually planning to dye my hair darker for the Summer, but the Livingsocial deal that I used only allowed me to touch up my roots. I guess in a way, it's not really a complete change for my look. Regardless I'm glad to say that as much as I miss having long "luscious" hair, this short bob is not too bad on the eyes (well, mine anyways, lol)! :)

Bakeries, specifically Korean bakeries, have always held a special place in my heart. My eyes sparkle at the sight of a new bakery territory that I have yet to discover. Often times my favorite bakeries are in New York City so that's quite a bit of a hike to grab hold of my favorite sweets. Luckily for me, one of my favorite bakery, Tous les Jours, opened up a shop right near my house. It's an intensely modernized take on a bakery as the actual decoration of the shop is more of a lounge-around sort of atmosphere. Unlike the location in New York, this one is HUGE in comparison. Brian and I usually like to stop by this bakery after a heavy dinner to sit back and enjoy a quick bubble drink or coffee. It's also a plus that the seats here are very very comfortable. I think I was almost falling half asleep while sitting there...


Places mentioned;

In my opinion, Ted Baker London takes the cake when it comes to creativity in design. I'm constantly lusting after the products that this brand churns out and often times, they are great eye candies. For me, it's the accessories collection that stole my heart--specifically the wallets and handbags. The reason why I thoroughly enjoy their purses is because of the minimalistic designs with a well constructed shape and sturdiness of quality. Legit, you can throw this at someone and it will not tarnish or damage the item in any way (or use it as a weapon for self-defense! :P). Recently, I decided that it was high enough time for me to stop my drooling and actually grab one. Luckily for me, Hautelook from time to time will have Ted Baker London on their flash sales. Since I am an avid user of Hautelook (yep, I am up and on that joint when 11:00am EST rolls around), I decided it was time to do a little bit of credit card damage.
