I'm here for the orientation for my new job. <br />
<br />
So the six things I am grateful for this week are:<br />
1) having gainful employment at a place that gives me the opportunity to explore an amazing city. <br />
2) having the ability and energy to decide to refocus my energies. I think it's way too easy to get stuck into a rut thinking you want something simply because that is what everyone else wants, then to get really down when that doesn't work out for you. For me that thing has been dating - to put it bluntly, dating in Los Angeles has been a complete mess. So I've decided to just completely place my dating efforts on indefinite hiatus and instead focus on getting in amazing shape and kick starting my awesome new career. So look forward to some more health and career posts soon! I am just exhausted with trying to date and don't even want to think about it for a while. <br />
3) living in downtown la! I just moved in and it is awesome. I love being close to so many awesome bars and restaurants, and there's always something to do. <br />
4) Dior rouge lipstick in 169. The perfect nudish MLBB shade that also happens to be moisturizing and have the perfect balmy texture. <br />
5) urban decay eyeliner in zero. The perfect creamy black liner. <br />
6) urban decay all nighter spray - it keeps my face looking flawless for hours.

<br />
Autumn is my favorite season. I know resolutions are meant for the new year, but autumn is so closely tied with new beginnings for me because it has historically marked the start of school. So in celebration of autumn, I thought I'd post some of my fall resolutions. <br />
<br />
My <span style="color: blue;">fitness routine</span> generally comes and goes, but in light of the fact that I'm finally settling down into my own place (no roommates for the first time, ever!) and starting my first "real" job, I figured I should get started on a routine fitness regimen that fits into my life. I generally prefer morning workouts, as they allow me the freedom to spend my evenings as I wish. <br />
<br />
I'm still working out what time I'll have to get up to work out and get ready for work, but I think my regimen will consist mostly of cardio for approximately 30 minutes, some stretching, and some weights.<br />
<br />
To kickstart the fun, I've decided to force myself into a little bootcamp of sorts to really get my butt into gear. I leave for NYC next week for work, so I figured this would be the perfect time to do it.<br />
<br />
I'm also trying to become a responsible adult about my <span style="color: magenta;">budget</span>. This past weekend was spent moving into my new apartment, and it made me beyond excited, but also made me realize that I'm solely and fully responsible for my life now. That feeling was (is) exhilarating but also a little frightening, so I've developed a budget that I'll be trying very hard to stick to.<br />
<br />
I really cannot wait to start sharing more photos of my life with you guys on here. The apartment is still a mess but I hope to have some more furniture in there soon!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252827826211032248.post-35659118117774233152012-10-07T07:22:00.002-07:002012-10-07T07:22:32.024-07:00The Sunday Six Vol. 2<br />

I've been totally MIA lately - I placed TSS on hiatus while I was in Europe, and my life has been a zoo for the last two weeks while I've been trying to get all the pieces in place for my move and my new job. </div>

<br />The six things that have me loving life this week:<br /><br /><span style="color: blue;">1. My amazing family and friends helping me with my move. </span><br /><span style="color: magenta;">2. The wonderful memories that I made in Europe. </span><br /><span style="color: #b45f06;">3. The fact that aforementioned family and friends have been helping me deal with the boy from hell that seemed so nice in the beginning (but don't they all?) Seriously, people - be happy with your OWN life before you throw yourself out into the dating world! </span><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">4. IKEA furniture!! Cute and cheap (but the putting together part... not so much!)</span><br /><span style="color: #0b5394;">5. The weather in LA finally cooling down enough so that I don't feel completely out of place or foolish rocking some darker nail polishes. </span><br /><span style="color: #674ea7;">6. The beginning of a new season! I love fall - with its gorgeous foliage, crisp weather, the suggestion of winter, the piling on of scarves... pumpkin scented everything. It's going to be a gorgeous season - can you feel it?</span><div style="clear: both;">

<br />
The six things that have me loving life this week:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">1. Signed the lease on a beautiful new apartment that I'll be moving into next month.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">2. My parents graciously offered to get me a new car as a congratulations gift of sorts for starting my new career.</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;">3. Confirmed that I'll be working on DREAM Act applications for several months as pro bono work... could not be more excited to start. The people I'll be working with seem really intelligent and passionate about their work, which is huge.</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">4. In less than 12 hours, I'll be on a nonstop flight to Turkey, and I'll be spending my next three weeks in Turkey, the Czech Republic, and Germany.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">5. Having the free time to finally get caught up on my fashion magazines and to enjoy reading just for the sake of reading again.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">6. My amazing friends and family who are always there to help celebrate the ups and downs of my life. </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252827826211032248.post-18723379820476293232012-09-03T08:30:00.002-07:002012-09-03T09:00:42.749-07:00RestartI've decided to seriously start investing some time into blogging now. <br />
<br />
I've said this to myself on several occasions, but I think the timing couldn't be any better at this point. I am finally seriously settling down into my first grown-up apartment (where I won't have any roommates and I'll be in charge of all the decor) <span style="color: magenta;">and</span> I've finally finished my graduate degree and will be starting my career. Also, I was in great shape at the end of last year, but I've gradually gained about 15 pounds as the stresses of wrapping up my final semester of law school and studying for the bar took their toll. I'm determined to lose the weight and to find a healthy way to balance a healthy lifestyle with a stressful life. <br />
<br />
My blog is going to be mostly musings about my life as I embark on this new chapter, my efforts to furnish my new apartment, random beauty and fashion purchases, and a little Sunday feature that I've decided to title <span style="color: blue;">The Sunday Six. </span>The Sunday Six will just be six things that I'm grateful for each week - it's so easy to get caught up in life that it's important to remind yourself constantly of all the wonderful things in life that you're grateful for. <br />
<br />
I'm leaving for Turkey, the Czech Republic, and Germany for three weeks today!

It's one of the cheapest products on the market and has a light scent. But my favorite part about it is that it leaves my hair super soft.

It's a Masterpiece Classic miniseries that I watch on pbs.com, which is fabulous because it has no commercials. It's written by the same writer who did Gosford Park, and you can really feel the similarities as you watch the show - the same intrigue and hint of scandal that wafts through the upper and lower floors of this massive estate amongst the household and its staff. The main difference (and downside) is that there's no Clive Owen in Downton! <div><br /></div><div>If you haven't gotten into this show, I highly recommend it. I watched the entire first season in one weekend months ago, and I'm watching the second season now. It's over in the UK but it's still coming out here in the US. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252827826211032248.post-83066129638485375212012-01-29T08:48:00.001-08:002012-01-29T08:48:44.740-08:00PackingNot doing a very good job!<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGw8lfU3TuXPtnT0gtzN9e4k1RRxfpSpbgQGiwsi_Ljt6t6dxNCwdW2XQth8tM91OGLfphEHBUKzuv-yfSz4FnCRKCQ6wUwlfy7q0D6PKrNV0tY3EqQ4tkOwUNRpvjyocAAIw1L2AtwVM/s640/blogger-image--2040204652.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGw8lfU3TuXPtnT0gtzN9e4k1RRxfpSpbgQGiwsi_Ljt6t6dxNCwdW2XQth8tM91OGLfphEHBUKzuv-yfSz4FnCRKCQ6wUwlfy7q0D6PKrNV0tY3EqQ4tkOwUNRpvjyocAAIw1L2AtwVM/s640/blogger-image--2040204652.jpg" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252827826211032248.post-11455305931330823772012-01-26T13:38:00.001-08:002012-01-26T13:38:38.802-08:00NotdSOPI aha!
