ON My Dream Desk

I have been coveting this desk from Crate & Barrel for a long time now. Well, to be fair, the bookshelves first. But then.. the desk. The gorgeous, leaning, sleek, fancypants desk that I would surely not be able to afford.

And so I turned to where I always turn when in need of a piece of furniture: Craigslist. Natch. And there, that very day I thought to myself, 'well let's just have a looksie' .. there it was. And just a mere neighborhood away! No price listed. And posted three days prior to my finding this listing. Troublesome signs, but an email was sent anyway. And lo & behold, the next morning a response that the ONLY item he had left from his listing was this very desk, and if I wanted to come grab it, he'd give it to me for free.

Shabam, boom, bang. Dream desk: acquired. And already a total mess :)

On Lately

 Lately, there have been empanadas, time with best friends, revisiting memories (may I just say that I make a darn good scrapbook? cause I make a darn good scrapbook!), a new read passed on to me by a pal, menus and wallpaper that seemed to be filled with magick gold flecks, and holy moly vegan food. Southern style vegan food, a massive plate of it, at that. Delish.

What's been your lately? Do tell. xo

On Company In Bed

Current reads: The Happiness Project [Gretchen Rubin]; 

The Best Advice I Ever Got [Katie Couric];

and The Gifts of Imperfection [Brene Brown]

I do believe we have a theme here. What can I say, I really like self growth :)

Though, come to think of it, what I think I like best is reading the stories of other people's lives.

I love reading about challenges that other people went through, because it reminds me that mine are not unique. Successes, growth, lessons.. all are shared experiences.

Plus, the human mind fascinates me to no end :)
