Pop of Pink + Gudetama

The weather in Seattle has been a complete drag and I wanted something bright to give me motivation for the rest of the week before I head to California for the weekend! I shot this look right at the end of summer and never got a chance to post the look. As you may or may not know, my 2nd favorite Sanrio character is Gudetama (Pochacco will always be my first love!) and I've been picking up a few fashion pieces here and there to add to the fun side of my wardrobe. I love mixing fun graphic tees with simpler pieces to make them really pop. Also, for my Seattle friends, the mural behind me is a fun one located Bank of America center in Chinatown.

Gudetama (aka lazy egg) is just so cute and any time I see his face, it instantly perks me up. This light pink jacket also added a nice contrast and according to my Chinese astrological calendar, pink is supposed to be my color this year so for better luck, I'll try to incorporate it more into my life, haha!
Hope you all have a great week!

What gets you motivated during the winter months?!

What's to come in 2018

Happy New Year!

As cliche as it is, I truly can't believe it's already 2018 and a whole week has flown by since the year started. I wanted to take a moment to give you all a look at what I'd like to achieve this year for my blog and content as well as other plans I have in general for this year.

For the blog

  1. Beauty - My blog started off originally as a beauty blog where I shared swatches, reviews, and other beauty related items. It evolved into more than just a beauty blog, however, I've noticed I haven't give beauty as much love lately and I truly have new products I want to share with you guys! Be on the look out for favorites and reviews on my favorite beauty products.
  2. School/Career Focus - Though I may not be a student, I still remember what it was like being a student and what I've learned from those experiences and how it has influenced me to this day. I'd like to share the knowledge I have with both school and in my different jobs throughout these past 10 years with you guys and if I can help even just one person through  my experiences, then that's worth it to me. I also want create posts for balancing school, work, friendships, relationships, blogging, etc. I don't have anything quite in the books for that, but it's been on my mind.
  3. Health and Fitness - As many of you may (or may not) know, I do pole and am also a pole dance instructor. I also like to eat. A lot. It's been a big challenge to balance how much I eat to how often I work out, what I eat, etc and again, I'd like to share my own personal journey with you all and provide useful information that you can keep in mind for your own wellness journey. I also want to begin to share more about how I stay in shape as well as everyday food/drink recipes that keeps me fueled on the daily.

Vlogging/Shooting more videos?

I started filming my trips last year and as much as I wanted to put all those videos out, I let time slip away from me and never finished uploading them. I want to be able to pursue video editing more and know it will take time to commit and perfect my editing skills. Ideally, I'd still like to post the videos that are left half edited and will take it as good practice!

On the list for 2018, I plan to film upcoming trips (or at least parts of it) as well as quick tutorials and reviews. I also enjoy cooking so maybe a few of those as well!

Travel Plans

I have a couple trips planned for this year however, I have more places on my list that I'd like to explore!
  1. I'll be visiting LA at the end of this month. It'll be a short weekend trip but there are already a few restaurants I'd and classic "IG-worthy" photo spots I want to visit.
  2. One of my best friends from high school lives in Florida and a few of us would like to visit her. I've been there once back in 2011 and would love to go back. Plans are in the works, so fingers grossing that it'll happen soon!
  3. If Miami, FL doesn't work, another Vegas trip or a trip to Texas is another possibility
  4. For another short weekend girl's trip, I may be going back to Cali but this time to Palm Springs! I have never been to this part of Cali and I'd love to explore the dessert, especially Joshua Tree National Park
  5. The biggest trip I have this year is another one back to Asia! We're doing a Malaysia wedding for my brother as the majority of mom's side lives there along with my grandparents. After that, I plan to go back to Japan since I fell so in love with that country last year.
  6. I'm open to any opportunities that come my way and hope to travel the globe more.
