Were we meant to be…another time…another life…?

Hello lovelies,

Have you ever looked at someone, anyone you come across either familiar or strange, and wondered if in another life or a different moment in your life would that person hold a greater importance in your life? Do you ever act on it?

I’m sure many a woman can say yes to this question when thinking of their favorite celebrity (Do Kyungsoo! How I wish you knew of my existence LOL), their ex-boyfriend that never could get their shit together, or that one friend who you lost track of and wish you hadn’t. Do you ever explore the thought further and actually write a story in your head about what life would be like then? Well my dreams do.

There have been several occasions where I find myself standing on stage with Girls Generation enclosed in a strong sisterly bond with them. Or I find myself dreaming of how I would have reacted to a certain situation differently…like that one time a now ex-boyfriend told me I was “boring.” Many of you may think that i’m living in the past or outside reality, but I like to think of it as stretching one of the most powerful muscles we have: my creativity and imagination.

So what does all of that have to do with this post? Well…the girl in this post can be anything she wants, yet there she sleeps dreaming what might have been or what can possibly be…

The most peaceful moment of my life, and I was riding a jet ski!

060815_002

Hello lovelies,

Today I bring you a summer themed blog post. All of these items brought to mind the time in my life when I was still living with my parents and they just so happened to have a 30 foot boat and a jet ski. Needless to say, I spent A LOT of time at the lake. I don’t know if any of you have ever been to a lake, or even the ocean, but if you have…you  may have had this experience i’m about to describe to you. It was one of the most juxtaposed experiences of my life and i’ll tell you why below.

This lake my parents kept their toys at was not a large lake. It barely let their big 30 footer do much touring of the waters. It would take less than 15 mins to get from one end to the other if going at mid-speed (20-30 mph). It doesn’t get super crowded except on holiday weekends when everybody decides they want to be a boater and the closet fisherman dust off their rods and have a go. It was the perfect size for the jet ski though. I would very often take it out on my own and go full throttle chasing waves and boats or finding a secluded area and taking a dip.

Now about this peaceful moment I mentioned earlier…contrary to what you probably are thinking, it was NOT when I was taking a dip in a secluded lagoon. Instead it was mid evening, around the time the sky turns that pretty purple, pink, orange color as the sun sets, and I was coasting my jet ski along at a breezing 40 mph. I remember it clearly, it was one of those moments that your mind goes into high gear and every minuscule detail is set in long-term memory. I remember the cool breeze with a touch of water spray, the tightness of my life jacket, and the brilliantly colorful sky. I remembering just looking up at it, taking a deep breathe of the admittedly not so sweet lake smell, and feeling a sense of peace descending on me. The world around me sped past, waves crashed into me, and it was getting a little difficult to see…but I was arguably the happiest i’ve ever felt.

Now what does that have to do with this blog post? Well…if I could experience that every single day of my life I would have to live on a beach and this cozy setting is exactly how I would set it up.

What was your worst motel experience ever? I bet this fresh and cute set up beats it hands down!

060415_003

Roaches crawling, water a muddy brown color, and the lights a dim hazy glow over the most disgusting barely livable motel room that you can think of. Now completely forget that. Wipe it from memory like your bad high school decisions such as that particularly bad haircut. Instead consider the warm aroma of rosemary, the gentle warmth of the sun, and the soft silky texture of the covers beneath you. That is my kind of motel room! I’ll tell you where to get it and maybe even an imaginary toaster later.

I would gladly decorate my own home bedroom as if it were a motel room just for the simple pleasure of these items. The *ionic* gacha items speak to my soul yet again with these classically cute, fun, and so very colorful motel set!

I know what you are thinking though, heels in bed?! Well these strappy heels from ANE simply do not want to come off so i’m afraid I am stuck with them. The sky blue color matches perfectly with my new bedroom anyway.

Ready or not…the world moves on…

Hello lovelies,

I had a TON of fun doing this particular home setting! I literally put down everything I had bought at the two events above and then couldn’t decide which items I wanted in the picture so I ended up figuring out ways to add them all LOL What came to life was a setting that brings to mind a story of a young woman who is struggling to come to terms with her life and herself. She is in the throws of depression as depicted by her laying mostly in the shadows. She has makeup and clothes haphazardly around the room mixed in with pieces of food and drinks. A pile of old postcards with letters unopened to the side, unable to bring herself to even get up and look at them. This is a setting and a feeling that I can relate to well, as i’m sure many of you can. I have spent hours before just laying in bed not sure what to do, not inspired or have the will, to go out and do anything. It is something many struggle with on a daily basis. When I become like this I tend to be thinking of big picture issues: what happens after death, does my life have meaning, are there aliens in outer space? etc. Eventually I come to realize that I don’t have the answer to these questions and I force myself to get up and face the world another day.
