Platinum Blonde


I'm turning 25 tomorrow... Why not do something crazy, right?! I have been doing a lot of research on this bold hair color and I will admit I am still on the fence. I have read that platinum blonde is good for my pale & pink skin tone, but I have also read that it will make my flaws stand out more. This post by Yara Michels over at Chapter Friday makes me think that the "platinum blonde style" will be perfect with my personality. Now, I just need to be courageous enough to do it.

What do you think about platinum blonde? Have you been wanting to make a bold change?

Adventure is worthwhile


Hello, friends! We have been in California 7 WEEKS now! I miss home, but it is so beautiful here. Plus, I can't complain about missing the Texas heat. The picture above is not from Cali, but from my trip to Alaska a few years ago. I thought it went with the quote, and this trip has definitely been an adventure. There are so many festivals every weekend and an amazing variety of delicious foods. It has been wonderful!

Good Eats:
*La Bodeguite Del Medio  is a local Cuban place in Palo Alto. It has a great atmosphere and a cigar  lounge in the back. Just thinking about the food is making my mouth water.
*Little Italy in San Francisco; I can't find the place we went online. Of course, they did have hand written menus, so a website is probably not a priority. Guess we will have to go again to figure out the name of the place!
*Hon Sushi is in Mountain View by the Google office. They even have a google roll. Daniel and I got 2 rolls, soup and salad, and a bento box for $20!!! It is cheap and probably the best sushi I've ever had.

If you ever come out to Bay Area you should try some of these places. Well, I hope everyone had a great week! & HAPPY FRIDAY!!!


*I turn 25 next week.... Is quarter life crisis a real thing? I think so; what do you think?
