well it has been awhile since i last posted anything. lately, i have been CRAVING shopping in my life. however, since i only work part time and i have racked up my credit card debt quite high, i haven't been able to do much shopping at all. for my birthday however, i received some money and i hit the shoppes! A LITTLE BIT OF RETAIL THERAPY NEVER HURT ANYONE. : ) today, i decided to do a photo shoot in my backyard, of some of the new pieces i've acquired the past several weeks.

Lately I've been putting my vegetarian cooking skills to use. the other day I made dinner since my parents are out of town. I made it using things that I already had in my house. I made a lovely spinach salad with candied walnuts-so yummy, chopped apple, and chopped grapes with a homeade rice vinegar dressing on top. SO DELICIOUS. Then, I prepared an entree of quinoa-a type of grain with lots of protein and sauteed it with a chopped onion and vegetable broth. I added a can of corn and two cans of black beans and seasoned it and let it sit for awhile. In the end, it was so yummy that I had three non-vegetarians like it too! I guess cooking classes are starting to pay off and I'm becoming more independent than ever! Oh yeah, only one month exactly until my birthday!!!

i absolutely adore my hot pink fish eye camera from urban outiftters! i love how this camera lens turns any 'simple' or 'regular' photo into a real work of art! this was taken several months ago, but i wanted to share this beauty! xo
