Best Pins of the Week #2

 

So much has been going down on my side of the world lately. I feel like I've been busy all week with toastmaster meetings and other things that I'm too scared to mention for the fear of jinxing it. 

It's competition week in the toastmasters community so the majority of the us have been called in for judging, tally counting, being timer, etc. for multiple clubs, so about 3 to 4 times a week we're at a toastmasters meeting listening to long speeches that would either make us laugh or cry. It can be exhausting.

But Pinterest is always there to help us relax and feel inspired again. While I'm at these meetings I tend to find myself scrolling through Pinterest and pinning more than ten pins in less than 20 minutes. Gash, that website can be hella addictive...

I want to share a few pins that I've been looooving and were just too pretty to resist pinning. 

1. Long Bar Necklaces. This one is from Layered and Long on Etsy. Long bar necklaces are simple and elegant and they look like they can go with almost everything. 

2. Stacked Siren Rings. Now this one from Elisha Marie on Etsy is beautiful! It's elegant and again, simple. I've been trying to get accustomed to wearing rings because it makes our hands look so good. It makes me feel like becoming a hand model whenever I wear them. haha. 

3. Semi Casual Outfits. I just adore Leandra Medine from Man Repeller. She's hilarious and shameless when it comes to her outfits. I love how this particular outfit is a mix of casual, comfy, and just so fancy. 

If you don't already read Man Repeller, I definitely recommend you do, it's hilarious!!

4. Tribal Legging. Is it bad that I have a little obsession with printed leggings? This one is from SiamicWear on Etsy and it just looks gorgeous. What do you all think about printed leggings?

5. Quote of the Week. "Some days you just have to create your own sunshine" Just because everyone is sad and gloomy doesn't mean you have to be too. Take a breathe and create your own sunshine.

What are your favorite pins of the week?

Vision Board of the Year

I spent the entire night trying to figure what today's post is going to be about. Since I've gotten the hang of writing four hundred to six hundred word articles, my drive to go out and take outfit photos – on my roof top that is – have diminished quite a bit. In the end, I finally found that one thing that's always been staring at me in the face. My Vision Board.

A Vision Board, for those of you unfamiliar with it, is a board compiled with your goals and dreams. From getting job opportunities and going to your favorite places to getting to your ideal weight and finding out who you are. I like to think of vision boards as a glimpse into our future. When we stare at it, we being to imagine our goals and dreams in action, and if that's not a glimpse into the future, then I don't know what is – unless you're a gypsy, then that's a whole different story.

I've redone my vision board about three or four times last year, and did this vision board help me to achieve my goals for 2014? I don't think anything happened. Honestly I don't remember if I achieved anything in 2014...sad I know, but that doesn't stop me from believing. Don't STOP Be-lie-ving. 

Unsure of the reasons why my belief for vision boards never actually vanished since I realized that nothing happened after it was up for more than 6 months, perhaps it was my drive to keep going, or perhaps it was the amount of hope and faith that maybe one day, one day, I'll get what I've always wanted and what I deserve.

My vision board is placed in a section of my room that I always look at when I'm thinking. It's by my desk so whenever I would look up, deep in thought trying to find the words to express my emotions, it was there. While practicing yoga and morphing my body into the tree pose or dancer pose, my drishti – which is when one focuses on a particular point for concentration and balance – would always be on a pin of my vision board.







If you don't have the budget to buy a pin board and print out photos or cut out images from magazines, you could always use Pinterest.com. It can work as vision board and it makes things a lot easier since Pinterest has everything from beautiful scenery to inspiring words.

Best Pins of the Week #1

   

Most of the world love and adores Pinterest, while the rest either never heard of it or don't know how to use it.

Pinterest-ing is addictive. It really is. Once you pin one, next thing you know it you'll pin ten more. Sometimes you won't even stick to what's on your feed. Sometimes you'll go deep, deep, deep into pinterest (Is it me or does that sound wrong?) with the help of the "related pins" aisle. Good luck getting out of there.

From the yummy to the funny, I found my best pins of the week:

1. The delicious, silky, moist Wellesley Fudge Cake, shared by Sifting Focus. We should really be cutting down on the sugar but a little piece wouldn't hurt, would it?

2. The sweet, puffy, fashionable Pink Tulle worn by Kim Le from Lace and Locks. She looks stunning here, and her hubby makes such a great accessory to the shoot. Haha, I keed. But yes, they both look absolutely adorable, and the skirt is just FABULOUS! It makes one look very elegant and fairy-like.

3. We must inspire with a quote like this; What feels like the end, is often the beginning. Remember these words when you basically feel like shit. Remember that there will always be a tomorrow, and if you feel like everything is going against you, take it one step at a time and breathe. You'll be okay. :)

4. And the humor is what makes our day brighter. This little rascal seems to be enjoying his bath time in the sink tub. It's the most adorable shot from A Life of Love and Letters. When I saw it I literally went, Awwwwww.

What do you think of these pins?

And what are your best pins of the week? 

Keep those fabulous smiles bright, y'all!
