Across the Universe

My heart aches because I feel that I haven't had the opportunity to make a difference in the world. I think every person is here for a purpose. Mine has not been used yet. Maybe it was watching the pain of losing a child to a revolution or losing a boyfriend to the war but while watching this movie it made me realize. My generation is full of empty, selfish and shallow people. Who are only concerned with what they have, not who they have touched. When my grandfather died in his wallet was a saying that said. "It doesn't matter the type of car your drive, the house your live in or what your bank account totals but that you mattered in the life of a child." I want to be that person who makes a difference in the world, not the one that owns the most shoes.

Ballet

This is a picture of me from class last night. haha. JK. I just started back up with ballet last evening. It is a 6 week intensive basic ballet class and it was with my teacher I had previously. I love it. She actually paid me a huge compliment. She said, "I'm so glad that you are here because I can teach up front and when we turn around everyone can follow you!" My mouth almost hit the floor. What a great thing for your teacher to say to you. I could see my reflection in the windows of the dance studio and I noticed that it seemed like people were following me, now I just need to remeber to count and keep track of what i am doing! The above picture is of a ballerina on toe. I am so jealous of her. My goal is to eventually learn pointe. Its not because I want/ think I could be a ballerina for a living but Its just a personal goal of mine. I envy the grace and the strength that it takes to be able to do that. I guess I will just have to keep on practicing.

My class last night was awesome. I really felt like now I am comfortable enough to concentrate on the basic ballet principles. I was working so hard. I think the lady next to me thought I was crazy. She just kinda flopped her foot out to the side and pretended to do the moves. She seemed like a new divorcee who's trying to "find herself" but hey props to signing up for a class that could possibly be embarrasing.

Well I have to go to work!

Busy Little Bee

Hey!

So, just went to the MAC pro store yesterday. Yes, I did need a moment afterwards. Phew that place is amazing. I bought 2 sets of fake eyelashes for the next time I go out on the town and I also bought the new smokin eyes pallette( as seen below)and I purchased some of the Painterly collection, Moss Scape which comes in a paint pot. Then of course I bought some basics such as lipsticks, lip gelle, prep and prime lashes, and etc..I love it all. I have it already organized and in my little mac case.

On, other exciting news. I am going on a job site tommorow. My boss is taking me to a house in Beverly Park, which is a gated/exclusive community and apparently this house is like 42,000 sq. feet. I can't imagine it. I am so freaking excited to see this amazing thing!

And, other exciting news as far as jobs go. I am working full time on a as need basis. Which works for me. I get to cash in on working full time, but if I want to take a couple days off here and there its not big deal. I love my job! I am so happy that I am there.

I have to run but I love and miss you all!

Best Part of Being an Adult

Well there are many things I could say to give reasons on why I think it's amazing to be an adult, but this happens to be one of my favorite reasons, but there is one that frosts the cupcake ( no pun intended ;).....) Being able to have an iced coffee and a cupcake for breakfast ( don't worry I had a banana as well.)

So have a cupcake and embrace your older self. :)

Some might say I have a problem

Some might say it's a problem. I say its a love affair. I seem to have many of these. With jewelry, shoes, and of course makeup. My most beloved being makeup.

It all started out when John suggested we go to Ross to look at some simple furniture, and I thought well what the hell might as well take a look on my way out to see if there are any shoes that are cute and this is where the problem started. I started trying them on and they just kept flying into the cart, and this is how I ended up with 6 new pairs of shoes, all for $103.65. what a steal.

here are my shoes in individual order


The First pair:
These little bad boys were only 10.99 and they match a headband I bought at Gap. I love it!











Next up:
These black patent leather mary jane peep toes. It was love at first site with these. Especially at the price of $19.99










Coming Next is :
a pair of school girl plaid slip ons. I love it. These will be perfect for a fall night wandering around the promenade. ( $12.99)










Following is:

A pair of wedged peep toe, 80's tweed flats. I love them. They have just enough heel to be sassy, but comfortable at the same time. I bet my little red pedicured feet will look sensational with these! ( OMG. only $19.99)









Hard to see, but adorable in real life:


These are black and white plaid peep toe heels. Such a cute pair of shoes and perfect to wear with jeans or a dress, and only $16.99









Last but certainly not least:

These stunning green and white tweed Shoes. Everything screams adorable. The tiny little green patent leather bow, to the green and white herringbone tweed fabric. These are so cute I can't wait to slip them on! Also, these were $14.99. Be jealous!








You might say, Jeez Raech. Got a problem, but seriously could you pass up such good prices on all Steve Madden and Dollhouse shoes. If i bought them from Steve Madden I would have paid anywhere from $50-100 on one pair of shoes, and I managed to get 6 pairs for the price of maybe 1 or 2. What a deal!

Leslie's Trip To Los Angeles

So, we need to keep an updated list of all the places we are going when my dear Leslie comes out to visit in September.

• Anthropologie
• Free People
• Sprinkles
• Sweet Peas and Snapshots
• Shops on Main St. in Venice
• Venice Canals
• Groundworks
• Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles
• Chipotle
  

That is all for right now, but i'm sure the list will grow!

This really bugs me!

I was just thinking about things that annoy me and well, I really am annoyed when people I don't know call me Raech...NO..that is a privelage that you get when you are my friend, not just some easy thing to say when you first meet me.

so there i said it.. don't' call me raech unless you are my b.f.f.

( it must be the caffeine that has made me a crazy lady this morning)
