because, at the end of the day, if you can’t laugh at yourself, then you obviously take yourself way to seriously.

I’ve had my fair share of learning experiences. One’s worth sharing, and others not … but one thing I’ve learned, through all of these experiences, is that no matter what – I’m always the first to laugh at myself.

There is a lot going on in my life (how many times can I keep saying that) — but the truth is, there is a ton of shit going on in EVERYONE’S life – news flash – that. is. life.

It just so happens, that a year ago today, I had a lot more free time to dedicate to my blog than I do now. Ces’t la vie, that’s what happens I suppose … I created this blog when I graduated school, as a method of coping with being unemployed and owning over 183 pairs of shoes and a bazillion vintage garments.

Now I find myself venturing into new business opportunities, living in the best city in the world, galavanting around exploring new eats with the man friend and best of all, planning a trip of a life time to Portugal and Spain for the end of the summer.

I hope this summer is good to you. Hell, I hope it’s great … but if I could offer one piece of advice, it would be to not take anything to seriously – just live. After all – put it into perspective – if you had what you wished for at twenty one now, would you be happy?

no.
