Hi lover! I’ve missed these Life Photo Diary posts terribly, as it’s been more than one month since my last one! Here’s a look at what’s been on my iPhone since then. The selfie above was taken the day of my work Christmas party. Our building always hosts a fun cocktail party with open bar and lots of delicious food.

Hanging onto as many Christmas memories as I can! It’s almost been one month since Christmas and it was such a great one. 🙂

Dinner, drinks & a movie with one of my best friends from high school, Adriana. It was her first time at Bonefish and I’m pretty sure I got her hooked. 😉

New jeans & new hat gave me the 70’s vibes.

Looooove my table setting right now. Too bad these roses didn’t last forever! They were the fluffiest ones I’ve ever had (purchased at Trader Joe’s for $5).

My favorite white wine at the moment, so delicious!

Late night paper organizing! Threw away all  2015 receipts, updated my electronic budgets and got my file cabinet in order.

Belated Christmas gift exchange with another best friend of mine, Syrel! Her mom got me an amazing soy candle and she bought me a beautiful jewelry case with 2 necklaces and a cuff!

I absolutely love a glass of wine with my best friend, Kelci’s cooking..mixed in with great girl talk. *perfection*

A quick selfie I sent my sister because I was loving that makeup. 🙂

One of the most heavenly places for me. I went there twice this week during lunch. It’s the little things!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend my beauties! Thanks for stopping by!

 

 

Hi lover! How’s your week been so far? Here in Miami it finally feels like winter… our version of winter of course. I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before but in my 24 years, I’ve never seen snow! So the coldest I’ve actually experienced is around 37 degrees F. This week it’s been in the 60’s and mid 50’s at night, and I LOVE IT! It’s seriously made me so happy this week.

We all have challenging periods in our lives. The slumps along the road. These are really necessary in order to appreciate the great times. For the last few months, I’ve put a great amount of my energy to find happiness in the smallest, simplest things. To celebrate the most mundane things that bring a smile to my face. It’s helped reshape my mentality. But like anything, it takes constant effort. That’s how something so simple as the change in cooler, breezy weather has made me happy these days.

Aside from that, here are my goals for the year:

1. Work out consistently, 2 times a week. The key to this is being more disciplined with myself. I struggle a lot with excuses on why I should sleep in or just eat healthy and skip the workout. But I’m determined to make this my priority this year.
2. Read 12 books total, perhaps one a month. I love reading, I just need to make more time for it!
3. Save money to afford 3 trips this year. The trip that is most important to me this year is to visit my grandmother in Bogota, Colombia. I hope to spend a few days there to have enough quality time with all my family members. Aside from that, I’d love to travel 2 other times.
4. Work in my dream job. I will share more details on this as soon as I can. 😉

I’d love to know what some of your goals are. I hope you achieve all of your daily, weekly, monthly and yearly goals! Thanks for stopping by lover.
