 Every Thursday night, the California Academy of Science is transformed into a lively venue called NightLife, which is an event filled with music, cocktails, and mingling for visitors 21 and older from 6-10PM making this place the perfect destination for happy hour or a chance to meet new people in a cool environment with a small cover of only $10.

You can enjoy the Academy's stunning architecture and unique exhibits in  a fun way since this is the only place on the planet with an aquarium, planetarium, a natural history museum, and a 4 story rainforest all under one roof. Combine that with a social setting and viola- you've got a great night in store.



shopping is the remedy

by Nikki Cornell in ,




It's been forever since I've gone shopping and after recovering, I hit up a few of my favorite stores and did some damage. And speaking of forever, I used to detest the yellow Forever 21 shopping bags- (I love when I go to a store and it's wrapped up nicely in a cute shopping bag like I bought myself a gift) Anyway, to my surprise this time around my purchase came inside a hot pink version instead. I'm assuming it's something new or maybe I've just been MIA from here in so long but either way it's a fun change that's more appealing than the previous version.

this weekend was ridiculously hot and unfortunately i was feeling under the weather and stayed in. this is something i find extremely difficult because i'm such a restless person but my body just wouldn't have it any other way. so my time these past few days have been spent laying in bed sick to my stomach and watching tv, which if you know me I absolutely hate watching tv. don't get me wrong, there are certain shows i like and will record on my DVR and only one i follow religiously which is 90210 (i blame it on a friend) but i can't sit still and just surf through channels let alone do I care for the TV to be on just for background noise. I do however enjoy a good movie like Taken- this movie is a must see for sure!

Anyway, today was the first day I had the energy to dress up and get myself up to enjoy the sunshine which I'm glad I did. Word of advice- never underestimate the power of looking good on the outside and thus feeling good inside.. It works wonders!



happy mother's day

i'm all about shoes with heels, however, my brother's house requires a no shoes inside policy and that's something i always keep in mind when I consider what to wear when we have family functions there.. And speaking of removing shoes off, maverick adheres to this as much as it bugs me to see him without it but anyway, it was a nice Mother's Day celebration, my first to be exact and I couldn't have asked for more joy, more love, and more reason to live life with  meaning all because of him.
