TRANSITIONS

LOTS OF TRANSITION SURROUNDS, BUT IT SHOULD BE A SIGN THAT EVOLVING AND GROWING IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF NOURISHING THE SOUL...LENA G.

Old Hollywood living!

This was by far..one of the cutest streets and Tif and I went to in Los Feliz during our girls day trip! We stumbled upon this cute street where every apartment complex was named after a different old hollywood actor, Monroe (in light pink), Gable (shown above), Valentino, DeMille...why yes, it was truly a dream! These 1940's and 1920's apartments had been revamped and renamed after these Hollywood icons. A must see when in L.A!

Great eats in DTLA!

if you're ever in Los Feliz or DTLA, etc. you MUST go to UMAMI! Like WOW, we had the cheesy tator tots (so bad but sooo good), the original Umami burger (japanese/american fusion-yum), the ahi tuna burger-(mouth watering) and a light beer...it was perfection!! 

Check out my meal in the photo...looked just as good in person and tasted even better!!

Get Glitter ready for the holidays!!

To be truly fabulous for the year's end (which is almost here-CRAZEEE!)...I thought a little glitter to feed the sparkle cravings during the holidays, would be best with these HOT HEELS!


They are super cute and can really make your outfit SHINE. Check out the spikes-fierce!
They are from Rachel Roy and I found them at Macy's for about $80-not bad!!


Love them,

NYC skyline from Brooklyn!

I have been a U.S.  traveling girl this year! It has been great traveling to some of my favorite cities and a some new,  awesome places. It was a year of exploration for me! I went to one of my favorites- Chicago earlier this year to check out Grad School, then to the very beautiful and green Spokane, WA and Ceour d'Alene, Idaho with a very special person....
Then it was on to Sedona, AZ and the Grand Canyon with family.
Sedona is so spiritual and serene!!
Went to Vegas...I won't go into detail with that trip...ha!
Then in September, I decided it felt right to head to New York. This was an incredible time for me...I love New York, but this time was truly amazing!  I went on a whim and just went for it!!
I was really free and felt so inspired by taking the subway, people watching, listening to the city buzz, the art, the food and being with some extremely great company. Travel is all what you make of it...my point is, that hopefully, all of us can find time to reach beyond what we know and go out and EXPLORE!!

Just go for it,
L.G. 

"She has an incredible talent for organic movement"

"You stand out from the crowd"...."Breakthrough"...."Yes You Can"..."Embrace your critics"..."Live Free"...these are words and phrases from snippets of magazine pages that I cut out. I LOVE magazines just like T'Ava, so when I turn pages, I am always very conscience of the words that speak to me. 


I finally decided to do this sort of vision board of words and pictures that I felt represented me. Specifically, how I view myself, where I want to be and how I will get there, dreams I have, places I want to go...etc. etc..... As you can see, my words are VERY positive, motivating and so liberating! 


My idea is to get a beautiful frame for this and put it up somewhere where I can see it everyday before I leave. After being in a little rut emotionally, I felt I needed to do this to help me overcome elements in my life that needed a little love...


Try the vision board, get creative and feel great about yourself...don't forget to dream big too!


HEARTS,

So I came across this video via Parlour Mag., one of my favorite magazines and many of you know I HEART magazines, and it brought a smile to my face. Two reasons: 1. the music and 2. Roller skates!!
Oh, the little and simple things in Life.
SMILE, Enjoy

Check out music by Full Crate& Mar from their album " Conversation with Her".

I'm merely standing on holes in the ground...

If I fall over, they'll never know I'm found
I may leave, but I'll never go back there
I'm only stumbling on the right things that I air


Like those days on the porch of your house....

Remix your life girl!

As women, we are constantly transforming through life...whether through professional or personal waves, a truly intellectual woman swims far in order to find her better being within. 


Transformations can include going from a slow, redundant career into a creative, more energizing one...OR from merely dreaming about traveling abroad to actually doing it...ALONE! Or maybe it's realizing that always being in a relationship isn't necessary...and maybe, just maybe, it's okay to be without someone, finding yourself, perfectly happy in solitude and loving yourself!! While also trying to understand that taking chances and remixing your life is exactly what you need...


I have found that my best transformations have come from deep moments of meditation and reading books I can get lost in. I happen to really dig the words, wisdom and vision of Deepak Chopra. He's a little mainstream for me, but his ideals are righteous: LOVE FOR HUMANITY, SUSTAINABILITY, HEALTH, SELF, LIFE WITHOUT EGO OR NEGATIVITY AND ALWAYS REMAINING PRESENT!


 His book: "The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire" is a great read that I highly recommend.


Check out his blog for daily inspirations, guidance and true enlightenment!

LIFE is an ADVENTURE- MOVE, Learn, EaT

MOVE from Rick Mereki on Vimeo.

A close friend of mine sent this to me over 10 days ago, but I allowed myself to be too busy to watch it. After watching the MOVE video, I can not help but think, analyze and possibly re-frame my outlook on " moving forward" in life and it's relationship to the idea behind progress or progressing. I tend to look at my life as progressing if it moving forward in a upward or vertical motion- position promotion, getting a secondary degree, etc- not never really appreciating, or personally acknowledging a lateral or horizontal change as progress. Thanks Rick Mereki,Tim White & Andrew Lees for bringing this to light for me.

Enjoy and acknowledge the MOVEments in Life!!

Check out their other two videos- LEARN and EAT.
