Happy Friday!! This week went by so fast, unlike last week when I thought it would never end. Not much happened this past week but I felt as if I didn’t have enough time in the day to accomplish everything I wanted to do. I still need to get shelves for my room (why am I putting this off I don’t know), and I didn’t do any of my graphic design online class.I’ll get to it soon enough! I did have time this morning to go the H&M flagship store on 5th to see the Met Gala dresses that are on display. A friend of mine created the exhibit so I went to support her, plus I wanted to see the dresses. H&M created Lili Reinhart and Olivia Munn’s just to name a few. (more…)

Happy Friday and Happy Kentucky Derby/ Cinco de Mayo weekend! I am much more of a Kentucky Derby kind of gal. It’s one of my favorite days of the year. I love horses, dressing up in Lilly, and wearing big hats! For the past few years I have celebrated the Derby at The Union League Club. This year, however, I will be watching the Derby while celebrating Cinco de Mayo at a party. Maybe I’ll wear my Derby dress for the first half of the party then switch to a more Cinco de Mayo appropriate attire. Act two.
If there is anyone on this earth that deserves to be celebrated it is our mothers. I am amazed sometimes how selfless and amazing my mother is. She would drop anything to help another in need, especially family members.The best part about her though is that I can talk to her about anything and she doesn’t judge me. When I get excited over fashion, nutrition, or woo-woo meditation stuff, even if she doesn’t agree or understand it, she listens to me. When I became gluten free she started looking up recipes for me. When I started this blog she was my number one cheerleader/photographer/momager. My mother is my best friend. I do not know what I would do without her. Since I live in New York and she lives in Ohio I do not see her often, but we do talk on the phone every day. It is usually my favorite part of the day. Unfortunately I will not be traveling home for Mother’s Day as I will be going home a few weeks after for a wedding.
Celebrating our mother’s only once a year is not enough. They should be celebrated everyday! This year my mother is telling me not to get her anything, a card is enough. I know this is her selfless personality coming through. I am going to ignore her wishes and still get her something. I have not narrowed down exactly what I am going to get her, but I have a few ideas in mind. Honestly she deserves the world.

Happy Friday!! Wow April has been busy– but a good kind of busy! Last weekend was jammed packed with events. Friday night I went to the Major League Baseball’s Opening Night Food Fest event. There were 30 different food venders representing each major league team. The food (what I could eat) was amazing and they had fun things to do like a pool of balls or a giant hotdog seesaw. I had the best time!
