Sometimes I Wish....

Sometimes I think about where I am at. I know I am 20 and many people are probably saying, don't worry, enjoy your 20s, but my brain is always on overdrive, and thinking.

Sometimes I Wish:

- I had started to save for things in the future so long ago (house, car, family)

- I stayed in contact with some friends from elementary school (as back then it was the most simpliest time, and truly everyone would get along)

- Met my boyfriend either sooner or later in my life (because right now we are growing, and going through a hard time- therefore not allowing us to hang out together more, but this makes the time we spend together so much better cause he's awesome)

- Moved out. (This is simple, I am a grown up and need to start living like one)



- Having been super smart enough to be frugal in the 2 years of working at my job, and not having wasted (yes I wasted!!!) so much money on things that are in the end, NOT THAT BLOODY IMPORTANT.

- Not been caught up in all the DRAMA.... And just being able to be free and happy like I am now.

- I was more adventurous, more confident, more beautiful, more smarter (these are things that cannot be changed, but altered- thanks mom and dad)

- I wish I had been smarter, to notice all of this.


But in conclusion, the journey is what matters, and now I am trying to change what I wanted to change and to be where I want to be.



What do you wish that you could have done before?? What are you doing to implement these wishes??

If You Want Me, You Better Work For Me.....

Recently, I have been having little bumps in the road with the boyfriend. I believe our relationship is solid but we do have our little tiffs and arguments. I want to spend more time with him but our schedules rarely meet up. However, the thing I do not understand is that men have the need to disappear and only re appear when they want to. What the heck is that?



I know I am a great girlfriend, but alot of times I have doubts to what more I can do. I'm fun, smart, beautiful and in the end I love to be in a relationship, because I care about the person.

Men now a days need to know how to work for the girl they think is worth it. If you don't want to date me, then dump me, but don't string me along. Another rule men need to learn is that women, try to see what you are telling them. They try to be perfect and understand what is going on, but the roles are never reversed. One other rule men, DO not threaten your relationship, just because your girl bitchs at you. She is bitching at you for a reason. She trusts you and probably the only one that understands her bitchiness, she needs to blow off steam.

Men also need to learn that they do have a great girl, and that relationships, need to be open, honest and full throttle. Do not live your life, not telling you significant other how you feel about them, because in a click of a second you can lose that person.

Do I Trust You?

Trust in a relationship is a really big step. Once you and your partner start to trust each other, your relationship moves up a whole new level.

In my experiences, I find it hard to trust people. I have been hurt- way too many times. That is why I keep everything in, I don't want to get hurt again but this pushes a lot of people away. This year, I have tried really hard to trust people quickly and I have got to say, this has made me happy. I have met amazing friends, have a great boyfriend, have a good relationship with my mom, have seen and been the first person my sisters come to for advice, and have a good relationship with my grandma.

But trust in relationships is a whole different ball park. Guys are good at keeping things from their girlfriends. They don't return calls; give vague answers as to what they were doing, and just hiding everything from their girl. I'm the kind of girlfriend that completely understands that I do not need any of your passwords for anything, and should only get a key to your place when you are ready to give it to me. Things like these are so minuscule.

Trust is very hard to gain and once it’s gained and broken it is very hard to gain back. MEN us WOMEN get suspicious when you are being vague and sneaky… THAT is when we lose TRUST. Just saying.


So take these relationships easy, and learn to enjoy the person and their quirks and then start trusting them. There is NO time frame, but be open to trust them, with the possibility that your heart might be broken.

Being Alone Sucks... or Does It?

Not to long ago, I was having a conversation with girlies, that I went to school with. I had asked them what they thought about being in a relationship and having time alone for themselves. They being all great girls, but having been in relationship after relationship- back to back, stated that it would not be a relationship if they were to be apart from their significant other for more then a day. I laughed at this because in my relationship, I'm happy if I see my boyfriend at least once a week but we talk all the time. I'll never forget one girl stated that we only see each other sporadically because he is cheating on me (this I know for a fact that he isn't because I completely trust him). Girls.

But this conversation made me think about our relationship. Being in a relationship is a fun and healthy thing. Some couples need each other all the time- constantly craving each other and losing themselves in each other, which can get annoying. Even though I am in a relationship, and love to hang out with my boyfriend and talk to him (as he is interesting, and I learn something new about him everyday as he does me) but I like to be my own person, and like to spend time alone- without him.

Time alone doesn't mean that I don't want him or anything. This means I want to better myself and be a better girlfriend. All the time alone and away from him, I learn to appreciate our relationship, and value all the time we do spend together. We are dating in the new modern world, basically meaning- we won't have time to see each other everyday, especially with conflicting schedules.

Bar Refaeli recently told Israel's L'Isha Magazine about the time she went through after being away from Leonardo Di Caprio. “It was a half year for which I am very grateful,” the model had said. “I needed it. I came to understand a lot of things about myself.”

“I worked on myself [and] I grew up,” she added. “I didn’t know what ‘alone’ was like. Today I know that a relationship can work only if you know you can be alone and you are not afraid. Today I’m not afraid of being alone.”

In conclusion, I know I can be alone and have a great relationship with the boyfriend, and I think this is normal... What do you think???

Curves Are Back....

Thank goodness curves are back.. I was getting really tired of the whole "dying to be skinny" look. Many girls are blessed to be so skinny but, not a lot of girls are... Ladies, eat that ice cream and do those lunges (when you feel like it) because CURVES IS THE NEW BLACK.





Christina Hendricks is here to stay.... she is the new "Best- Looking Woman in America!!!" This Mad Men star has taken over the title from Megan Fox, and Ms. Adriana Lima..... Work it girl!!!! She is defiantly bringing the sexy back!!!

And It Begins

I am thinking of going on a 3 month purge of shopping, eating out, and basically wasting my money. I want to do longer, but I do want to see how I work out with these 3 months. Here is my list as to why:

1. To learn how to pass up a sale (oh, so painful)
2. I want to see how I will change, both as a person and consumer, by the end of this experiment
3. To become more green (waste not, want not!)
4. So I will actually use and wear what is in my closet, instead of buying something new every time there is an event (and by "event" I mean any Saturday night, an afternoon movie, a lunch date, walk in the park, etc.)
5. To save money
6. To stop buying useless instant gratification pieces, and become a more conscious shopper
7. To see how I will spend my free time if I am not in the shops (so far, most of my extra time has been spent on this blog!)
8. I wasn’t prepared to go to AA
9. To get my creative juices flowing (the challenge of creating pieces with what I have, using my arts and craft skills for DIY projects, etc.)
10. To see if I can do it!


anyone else joining me on this ride???

Living and Learning

As I think about what has happened over the past couples of years I have reflected and am, completely happy at where I am.

Things I have learned:
- when you give up on love, love finds you
- grow on your own with no influences
- learn to smile even when all you want to do is cry
- life is hard, and the more 'tests' we get, the happier in the end we will be
- there is no such thing as a perfect relationship (you will fight and argue, and cry, but in the end, you know the other person is your match)
- it is okay to cry and have a bad day
- I can be punctual
- my sisters mean the world to me
- people treat you the way you treat them
- no one should ever cater to you, as you shouldn't cater to anyone
- laugh, cry, smile, fart, love and live - everything will be okay
- I'm tired of partying and just going out all the time


Things I am working on:
- changing my habits
- learning to put myself in the other person's shoes
- my relationships with everyone (parents, sisters, cousins, friends, boyfriend)
- being more adventurous
- showing my emotions
- trusting people
- I CANNOT plan everything to a T and have it run smoothly (it will not happen)
- things will not always go my way
- growing on my own with no influences



Life is about growing and loving. We smile and cry but in the end it's not about who hurt you, it's about how you handled it. - Tanya Original

There are alot of things that I need to work on... and you? What have you learned?? What do you need to work on?
