a new summer toy
April 23, 2012 § 5 Comments
this weekend my Dad brought home this beautiful new Vespa GTV 300 in Portofino Green from Highland Motorsport in Louisville. It’s so nice that it’s hard to even put the excitement into words.
I’ve been obsessed with Vespas ever since studying abroad in Spain six years ago….I can’t think of a better way to zip around Corydon!
However, unlike my Dad, Andrew, and my brother, I do not have a motorcycle license, thus I can’t really drive this big guy by myself…which is why I need me one of these little ones.
Not only does my Dad has a thing for italian scooters, but also restoring vintage Honda motorcycles. Andrew is currently working on his own Superhawk, my brother has one, and Dad has these beauties.
It’s all so fun–another reason why living back home is just fabulous.

first day being unemployed…
Instead of freaking out/worrying/panicking/stressing/frantically applying to jobs, I’m going to embrace it & focus on some things yoga/reading/painting/blogging/cooking/cleaning/running.
great day ahead — going to the zoo w/ sister-in-law and nieces, major Trader Joe’s run, then home to make dinner & RELAX.

Andrew found this a few weeks ago and totally geeked out on it (he is an engineer in wind energy).
These are snapshots, but if you click HERE, you can see a beautiful live, interactive map of all the current wind patterns throughout the country. Pretty!

Favorites: cheap trick facial moisturizer
April 16, 2012 § Leave a Comment
I don’t really bother with fancy skincare products and I don’t really own any makeup. However, I did recently buy some tinted lip balm — a huge step for me!
I’m basically too lazy & cheap to bother with it all. I love looking at it all…beautifully displayed, fancy colors, and glossy packaging. I simply don’t understand why these products are so expensive. I once worked at a spa that sold a 30ml bottle of face serum for over $100…say what?!?!?
I have finally found a facial moisturizer that not only works famously, but is also only $4.49! Totally one of my favorite things right now and of course, it can be found at Trader Joes:
love love love it!
