Netflix: It's about time Netflix added some good movies, and A Walk to Remember is definitely a good one to start with. Hoping to see some more ever-classics on there. New TV: Finally I got rid of the monitor-sized TV, and now I have a TV I can actually say is a TV. Watching Game of Thrones on this one is so fulfilling. Vacation: It was a much needed time away from work, and a real vacation this time— no travelling, no exploring, no sleep deprivation. Just eat, beach, and sleep. Relaxed week: This past week has been relatively relaxed and stress-free (a lot of people are on vacation and so there's less badgering for now ) and I couldn't be happier about it. Health: For a long time, I have had some health concerns but never been able to figure out the cause. Finally, thanks to the new doctor and bunch of tests, I have some clarity and direction. What are you thankful for today? P.S. Let's connect on  Facebook ,  Instagram ,  P...

Oatmeal It is my favorite breakfast ever— recently I have found some new recipes and now breakfast is one thing I look forward to each morning. It makes getting up a little easier! Workout Clothes I got new workout leggings and I just love them so much I wanna wear them all day. Also, I noticed I am more likely to go workout if I am already in the workout clothes. Sweatpants are the enemy! Birthday Weekend I had one of the best birthday s this year, and I am so so so thankful for everything about it. Gifts After many years, this time I got so many gifts from both family and friends. Gifts are my love language, and I am blessed for all this love. Dates Night A little time out of the house, with a little wine and conversation can totally pick up my day.  Happy feet I think I am addicted to the mani-pedis now— love the pampering! Friends They are like your personal cheerleaders— so happy to have them to cheer me and pick me ...

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 cut...

Thankful posts are one of my favorite things to write. Making myself think about the things (or people) I am blessed with, fills me up with so much gratitude and just makes my day so much better.  Today I am thankful for: Friday: This week has been so hard and so slow, and I am just happy that it's finally Friday and I can catch up on sleep over the weekend. I also need a break from work.  Fitness progress: I know it's not the best and should be better if we go by the fitness calculators, but with the stubborn body I have, I am still thankful for the progress I have made and also for being able to stick to the diet. Puppies: My dog back home had babies, and they are the cutest thing ever. I wish I could just go home right now to play with them. Sunsets: Cali has been bestowing upon us amazing sceneries every evening. The views are simply breathtaking. I sit on my desk, looking out the window every evening and it takes all the stress away.  S...

'Thank you' is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding.  — Alice Walker I believe in gratitude. I believe in saying thanks- It brings joy to heart and makes us feel blessed for our life and everything in it, which we take for granted most of them times. With so much stress at work and in relationships, it gets harder and harder to see any good. We need to make giving gratitude a practice, a little prayer to say before we doze off each night. I use my blog to share my gratitude for life with you, and t oday, I am thankful for: Blogging:   I am getting back to blogging after over a month now, and it did take a little push to make myself sit and write again, but I am glad to be back. Trips: I have two trips planned for coming months- Portland for the long weekend, and Seattle for my birthday. I am so excited, and am loving the planning! Saturday Nights: A night o...

“Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart,  it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude.”  ― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh It's Friday and I am happy. So, I want to be thankful for all the great things in my life lately, and of course share them with you. New phone: I got Samsung Note 4 and I am in love with S-pen. I love doodling, and now I can do it anywhere anytime I want to. A touristy day: Over the memorial day weekend, I spent  a day in San Francisco , doing the touristy things like visiting Lombard street, Fisherman's wharf and more.   Check out my post to read more about that. Lemon cakes:  I recently tried the lemon cakes for the first time and I loved them! I now understand why they are Sansa Stark's favorite too. I got them from Nothing Bundt cakes, along with red velvet and white chocolate raspberry flavors which are delicious too. Workouts: I have been regular on my workouts for whole of June s...
