I love you Portland!

Jun 7 , 2013

Happy Friday Dolls! Hope errbody had an amazing week :) So, Portland was amazing! My persian boho gold glam glitter wedding was even more gorgeous than I could have ever imagined. I met some pretty amazing people and I am pretty much obsessed with Portland! You can bet your buns I will be planning a trip with juju there very shortly. I did a ton of sight seeing but my phone was being very lame so I couldn’t take too many photos :( but here is what I managed to snap! Okay. First stop..Voodoo doughnut shop. Oh Em Gee. This place was pure joy. Best doughnuts hands down. I had something called an ol dirty bastard which consisted of big chunks of oreo cookies and peanut butter. I don’t even have a photo because it was gone almost instantly. Any who here it goes….oh all photos courtesy of my iphone

IMG_7226Jade and I went to the most stunning Rose garden! You will have to take my word for it because my phone crapped out as usual. But I did manage to snag this gem!
IMG_7222My phone suddenly started working again so the best photos are of the gorgeous Sarah Seven boutique. I seriously wish I had gotten married in one of these babies!

Happy Monday doll’s! Hope all ya’ll had a wonderful weekend :) and hope all of my American homies had a fab memorial day weekend! I cannot believe that it is almost June. Seriously, how the heck has half of the year gone by already? I honestly feel a little defeated knowing that I haven’t been able to keep up with life and work and of course the blog :( I am getting ready to fly down to Portland for the most gorgeous Persian/Boho/Glam/Gold/Glitter wedding! it is going to be one for the books ya’ll! Once I come back me and juju will be taking a much needed teenie tiny vacay to Mexico and I promise after that the blog will be getting a lot more love and many more posts :) xoxo moni

Just Breathe

May 10 , 2013

IMG_4427It has been one heck of a week dolls. Lately, I have been running on little to no fuel. Both my body and brain are saying “moni, slow the fuck down and go to bed early tonight” I have been a bad girl you guys. I have been a bad wife, a bad daughter, and a bad friend. I always think that I can solve everyone’s problems and make them feel so amazing about themselves when it hit me…how come I don’t give myself the same kind of love? By not caring about my health and my needs I run dry which means I don’t have the energy to make my sweet husband a home cooked meal when he finishes a super hard day at work. I drown myself with shit I cant keep up with and I end up neglecting my friends and family. I don’t know about you but I am going to make my husband something amazing this weekend and keep at it. I am going to catch up with some of the sweetest friends and I am going to take my mama out for the sweetest mothers day brunch. Sometimes, you just have to breathe and accept the fact that you cant be everyone’s hero and you cant make everyone happy all the time. You will make many mistakes but you will learn from them and grow as a beautiful human being. I hope everyone recharges their minds and bodies this weekend. Wishing everyone a wonderful mothers day weekend xoxo moni
