Things I am Thankful for — October Blogging Challenge Day 16



Gratitude is one of my favorite themes to write about, so of course I love that it's also a part of this blogging challenge. For the first thankful Friday post in this challenge I wrote about what I am thankful for in life. For this one, I will take a shorter time— let's stick to this week!

Fall Weather

The weather is getting so good now. I am loving the sunshine without the scorching heat. Although, I miss the fall colors in the northeast. I am hoping this weekend would be nice fall weather to enjoy with warm beverages, cozy sweaters, and love.

Brownies

I found this easy-to-make recipe for brownies. It's just three ingredients and it is super delicious. I have made them thrice this week, so that tells you something, right? I didn't eat all of it alone though. I just enjoyed making them; I ate just twi little pieces.

Ipsy Glam Bag

This week I got my first Ipsy glam bag in mail, and I love everything about it— the bright pink packaging, the cute golden makeup bag, the makeup minis. I love minis, because you get to try so many different samples, and they are easy to travel with. This month's bag came with a cute little golden makeup bag, a lipstick, mascara, perfume, a face scrub, and a brow pencil!

Birthday Gifts

My first birthday gift came this week. Sure, I bought it for myself, but that still counts. I am loving the new phone. I also got two dresses and a beautiful pearl necklace. My siblings already announced that I should be checking mail, so that's exciting.  Yes, I love getting gifts!

Friends

I just love my friends— they are such a huge support and they just know how to make me smile. They celebrate the small victories, and understand how much little things mean to me. Whenever I am stressed or overwhelmed, they know I just need to vent and they let me. Also, so much extra love for how they have already started making big deal about the birthday.

Travel
Being the travel-bug I am, I am so excited for the travel plans starting tonight. Where am I going? Should I tell you right now, or keep it a surprise? May be you'll know if you follow me along on Instagram. Shameless plug, I know— sorry, not sorry! 

What are you thankful for?

A day in San Francisco — Memorial Day

If you have followed my blog for sometime, you probably know about my big move across coast. It's been a few months being a Cali resident, but I haven't gotten out as much as I would have liked.  Maybe once we move to a place, it kinda loses the tourist charm that it has when we visit for a weekend. Don't you think? I decided to make this right and this Memorial Day weekend, I spent my first Touristy day in San Francisco. Like anything else, I made a long list of places to see, and spread it across three days based on distance proximity. Yes, it was a whole weekend plan but life get in way and hence it ended up being just a day trip. The day started with a little detour at Bay Trail, near Shoreline Park, followed by a quick brunch at Crepe Vine and a beautiful long drive to the city. The Painting Ladies at Alamo Square was our first stop. These are basically just houses with a Victorian architecture and painted with three or more colors. The whole area l

What if ... ?

What if — an agonizing feeling that no one is spared from.  We all find ourselves in situations where we look back and think about things we  have done, things we should have done, things we should not have done, or things we should have done differently. They are not necessarily regrets, but more of questioning and second-guessing the choices we have made. I for one get this feeling a lot, and I find myself thinking about how life could have been if my choices would have been different.  What if I studied harder in school:   I would have gotten into a better college with more opportunities, which means better job and satisfaction. But, who can guarantee that would have happened- so I'd rather be happy about the other things I did and not just study all the time. What if I stayed at my old job:  I would have gotten to be roommates with my best friend for a much longer time, and would have definitely enjoyed more and I wouldn’t be stressed because of studying, assi
