[ Goals & Resolutions ]

.

End of January. Already. Does it feel like it just hopped by? Or is that just what happens when you get old? It took me a month but I finally did it: I wrote out my goals and resolutions and hung them on my wall. Now that they’re clearly visible and sparkly with bows, there’s no excuse for neglecting them. Which also kind of sucks, because I just made myself 100% accountable.

With that being said, the force that pushed me to get this done is probably fate. Or some kind of savior. Because I’m slowly forgetting what my resolutions are and caving on a lot of things I was so disciplined about during the first 2 weeks of the year. Yup, 2 weeks. So here’s a reminder to myself (and to you) that it’s not even fcking February. If I keep this trend up, I’m setting myself up for a disappointing year. I’m better than that. You too.

If you’re sticking to your plan, than kudos to you. You deserve a balloon, and a pat on the back. Really!

BTW, I’m leaving to Vegas today for work. The saving money thing, might have to wait. Wish me luck. :(

As I’m lying here on the couch in my most gangster slouch, engulfed in a giant blanket with the Canucks on, my mind is blank. I feel nothing. Actually, I feel pretty tired. And my brain also feels like mashed potatoes. I don’t think mashed potatoes have feelings, nor do they think. So that brings me back to my first point: my mind is blank.

Considering that I’m in the middle of writing a blog post, a blank mind is not ideal. But regardless of how thoughtless my brain is, words are autonomously forming from my fingers and being transposed onto the screen. Wow, this is boring. I’m sorry.

This is one of my favorite outfits so far. It’s casual and it’s comfortable. I’ve always been a big fan of “effortless looks.” The kind where you feel like they just grabbed whatever was on the floor but still manages to look good. (Although in my case, I tried.) Not to mention, my H&M jeggings cost $15, my denim jacket is from highschool, and I’m wearing the most versatile booties I’ve ever bought. It doesn’t get much better than that.

Do you like the effortless look?

Foot massages. I love them. I went for my first foot massage about 2 years ago, and shortly after, I was addicted. I started going a 2-3 times a month. I had a problem. So I had an intervention, and now, I rarely go. Just recently, a new modern reflexology spa called Foot Lounge just opened. Trouble.

It’s a great lounge. The massages are awesome. But my favorite part is this: they have a masseuse who gives foot readings. Foot what? Readings. In smart people terms, podomancy.

Your feet tell a story. The right is your masculine side, your Ying. It symbolizes work, money, “manly” things. (Debatable.) The left is your feminine side, your Yang. It symbolizes decision making, trust, and other “girly” things. According to my awesome masseuse, my Ying is dominant over my Yang. I’m a manly she-male who sucks at decision making (truth) and trusting people (truth too). To strengthen my Yang, I need to cut down on sweets. Stress causes me to eat sweets, which in turn, clouds my judgement and triggers bad decision making. Note to self: do not mix alcohol and sugar.

Now if I want to manifest my Ying and make it stronger, I need to find a regular social activity. Like, sports. Pleease. I told the masseuse that I do engage in a social activity. It’s called blogging. Apparently, sitting in front of your computer alone for hours is not a social activity. What?

Anyways, while I’m getting my massage and podomany on, I’m feeling all zen and shit. Our deep, intellectual conversation about my life is suddenly interrupted: [in Chinese] ”WAAAAAH! You need to get a lymph node massage!!! Your legs are sooo FAT!” Yup. That’s a typical traditional Chinese woman for you. Mind you, during the foot massage you could only see my calves. So now I have fat calves too, right under my fat thighs. Common theme?

My BFF and I did burst out laughing though. No offence taken.

XO,

PS – I thought this outfit was appropriate for the post because it’s bold and strong. Since I’m manly and all.

Happy Chinese New Year everybunny!
Wishing you + your families much health, happiness and prosperity!

It’s the year of the Dragon! Where are all muh dragons at? Being a tiger, I had to keep true to my roots. Hence the leopard (it’s a cat, same difference) cardi, and um, furry hat. Because cats also have fur.

This is my 2nd time wearing my Russian hat. I wore it to dim sum yesterday and I probably looked crazy. I say that because all of “my people” were staring at me. Elderly Chinese grannies seem to enjoy staring though, without being polite enough to look away once you catch them and stare back. So, maybe they were just being…. normal.

On another note, my weekend was great. It was partially anti-social, chill, and laid back. I spent Saturday night with 3 friends drinking super-charged golf carts, eating Sour Patch Bunnies, watching YouTube make-up tutorials of Promise Phan transforming into Angelina Jolie and other celebs, and episodes of Happy Endings. I was the only girl. What? I was the only girl. Um, awesome.

Just a quick snapshot of my latest accessories. They all have a bit of  rocker, a bit of edge and some attitude to them. And all for a very decent price too. With the amount of accessories I have and the frequency in which my taste changes, inexpensive is probably the best way to go, especially for costume jewelry.

Hi! (Was that weird? I never say hi, but I just so excite!) A friend of mine from New York just recently launched her watch line, Winky Designs, and we thought it would be awesome if we collaborated on a photo shoot and of course, a giveaway for TWO watches!

Up until now, I’ve only owned traditional watches. You know, like Michael Kors and Movado. And as much as I love them, they’re really your typical watch in terms of style and material. But Winky is different. Winky is innovative. Winky is fresh. And Bunnie really likes Winky. ;)

So what’s a Winky watch? None other than a piece inspired by delicious foods and flavors, and designed with style and quality in mind. They’re playful, water resistant, made with Japanese quartz and come in a rainbow of fun colors… which is my favorite part! There are two collections right now: Slap Out of It and Ice Cream Bracelets.

These slap watches are seriously the bomb. They’re kinda like slap bracelets, circa 1990. I never thought I’d be able to pull off a red watch, but I’m doing it. And I love the look!

And for those who prefer something more feminine but just as stylish, the braided Ice Cream watches are sweet. Genuine leather and perfect for layering with other bracelets.
