Graduating in style

This is my new LV purse! A graduation gift from my momma! She thought that since I'm going out into the workforce now, its a must that I have a stylish purse to go with a hopefully stylish life in the bay :) I haven't really toted it around much.  I guess when you have something so new, for me at least, it takes me to some time to get comfortable carrying it around... I'm so use to throwing my other purse around so much, I feel like I need to treat this one well!  But I will say I do love my first Louie :)

Stock up time

I got this mail-in rebate for $10 sent to my email, I dunno how you guys feel about rebates but if you do have the energy to do them its like getting $10 bucks in free products :)  As long as you buy $30 worth of Olay, Pantene Pro-V, Cover Girl, Venus or Secret, any combo of this you can be eligible for the rebate!  I think its pretty good b/c when I buy 1 moisturizer from Oil of Olay, its almost 10 bucks!  So add in a couple more things I can easily stock up on, Cover Girl Lash Blast, some Pantene condition (family size :) it will equal that up in no time, and they're all products most of us use regularly! Just make sure you purchase between now and Sept 17th and mail it by Oct 1st, plenty of time to spend $30 worth of products.




$ 10 Rebate 
Here are some the products I would buy:

Oil of Olay Regenerist Night Cream

Oil of Olay SPF 30 daily moisturizer

Cover Girl Lash Blast mascara - I haven't actually tried it yet but I want to!

SF Adventure

My friend came to visit SF this past weekend, it was such a good time! She's my first visitor since I moved to the bay! So happy she came, we did so much, ate alot and partied a lot! haha! So overall it was a great trip! Its always great when friends come to visit, theres never enough time to do everything you want.  My cousin did give us an amazing tour of the city: we did shopping at haight street, drove across the golden gate to sausalito, ate ice cream at by-rite around delores park, ate at burma superstar, by the end of the weekend i had no voice left, but it was quite worth a well-done weekend!

First stop: Farmer's Market at the Ferry Building, HIGHLY recommended! SO much good food and lots of vendors!

The flowers at the market were so pretty and the peach samples were delish!

Don't you loveee the view!

Back to the foggy city, but I heart it muchos <3

35, Single & Fabulous

I love Drew Barrymore! She is so gorgeous and seems so down to earth.  I was at Borders the other day and I came across her Elle August 2010 cover.  I absolutely loved it, I love her smoldering look, wavy hair and black polish with a form fitting shimmery black dress...pure perfection! Her cover quote: "If you're 35 and single and it's a choice, it feels fine. So I didn't settle with the wrong person yet. Big Deal".  I love how she is fine with being single at 35.. as you get older, and everyone around you is getting married, sometimes you feel that pressure put on yourself, but its great that she knows who is and what she wants.

Any pressures of marriage yet?  What do you think of Drew's cover?

Living it up LA Style

So right before I came to SF, I went down to LA & spent a ridiculously fun night in Vegas before starting my job! One last hoo-rah! It was such a great time. We went to the Grove to do some shopping, went to the Griffith observatory, Kodak Theatre, Corona Del Mar Beach, ate lots of good food, hung out with lots of cool people and had a blast :)

Busy Bee

I've been SUPER busy... so I will give you a quick update of my life since . I just moved to the San Fran area, started my 1 year residency program and went on recent trips to Seattle & Vancouver and LA & Vegas. It was also my birthday over the 4th of July weekend!

Its an easier adjustment coming back to SF, I couldn't stay away! in terms of not being homesick, but my new job has a lot of responsibilities and the amount of paperwork/charts I have to do it keeping me there much later! I definitely had an overwhelming 1st week, but I know it will get better once I get situated and learn everything.

Some pictures for 4th of July weekend :)

We're being Blackberry models, we're holding up little speech boxes like in comics...I forgot what it said on the boxes

my quick f21 outfit, striped bandage type skirt and a comfy white

racerback, i usually look for a dress for my bday but this is all i could come up with!

Tea time birthday lunch!

Isn't it just darling!?

I also went camping 4th of July weekend and I saw fireworks, it was a fully packed weekend! I will update more about my travels to vancouver/seattle and la/vegas soon!

did you have a great 4th of July weekend?
