Have an Attitude of Gratitude

I'm thankful for YOU!! What are you thankful for today?
The point of Thanksgiving is to remember the things we have to be grateful for. It's our special time to give thanks... not just for the obvious, like food, but for the thousands of fortunate moments, the multitude of blessings that we receive each year.
That's not always as easy as it sounds. We tend to remember the bad things much more easily than the good. That's where this article comes in. using the tips below,

Going Home!

It feels so weird this year now that I am not a short drive away from home instead I am around 8hrs away and I haven't been home since August which is unusual for me I would go home maybe once every month or every two months. So I guess that is why I am so looking forward to this Thanksgiving I am ready to just hang out with the family and just be home! I am starting to get used to being up here so I hope I don't come back and get homesick all over again, but it will be great to see the people I miss and be around the stuff thats familiar! My thanksgiving holiday will consist of sleeping in, eating delicious breakfasts that my dad makes, shopping with mom on sister on crazy black friday, making tamales with my nana and cousins, and hopefully squeezing in some surfing! What about you any holiday plans will you be traveling home or will you be waiting until christmas for that?

Harry Potter

Tonight I am turning into a child and going to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!!! I can't believe I'm doing this but I'm so excited I am a huge fan of the books and this one was by far my favorite. Any of you Harry Potter fans out there?

San Francisco and My Favorites

One of my favorite tourist destinations in San Francisco is Ghirardeli Square! I only get to go there when friends visit that want to hit up all the touristy spots but I wish I had an excuse to go there everyday. The chocolate shop has the most amazing desserts pretty pricey but big enough to share! It is definitely a favorite here in San Francisco.

In 1837, Domingo Ghirardelli left his homeland of Italy with dreams of selling confections and chocolate abroad. After spending ten years in South America, he immigrated to the United States during the California Gold Rush to see if he could strike it rich. He was immediately successful, and in just three years Domingo had created the Ghirardelli Chocolate Company. In the early 1900's, Ghirardelli' Chocolate found a home in Ghirardelli Square, among San Francisco's historic piers. It's trademark lights began welcoming ships passing through the Golden Gate, as they still do today.

Babushka Dolls

Today I have been thinking about Babushka dolls who knows why but I just love these little dolls painted so beautifully and intricate. When I was really young my Grandma Nana Tutti used to watch me while my mom was at work she had a couple Babushka dolls and whenever I would go to her house I would go straight to the dolls and play with them. Everytime I see a Babushka doll I think of her. One of my favorite things about traveling is finding traditional artwork that other countries are famous for when I go to Russia someday I am going to go treasure hunting for the most beautiful Babushka doll.

Dear San Diego

So here is a list of the things I will miss about you San Diego and after this list, that is it I will be done I will force myself to experience in full my new life here in San Francisco.

Hey Do You Remember?

Do you remember Lava Lamps!!! what a funny lamp. I remember I thought they were so cool I just had to have one for my room when I was a kid, I had a purple one. Did any of you have lava lamps growing up? That would be fun if they made a come back.

Obsessions

I just recently found out about this clothing boutique called Ruche. It's an online clothing boutique and there clothes are so beautiful. The clothes are pretty affordable and are as beautiful as some of the stuff in more expensive stores like Anthropologie. Here are a few of the pieces that are on my lust list.love this dress with tights

Crafting time

One of the many blogs I follow recently posted the cutest craft idea. Turning antique tins into candle holder's so simple but they sure come out cute. For directions on how to make these beautiful creations check out Design Sponge's Blog.

A Sea of Red

Don't you just love the brilliant red color of cranberries! I've been daydreaming today about cranberries wouldn't it be fun to work at a cranberry field for a day and be able to wear those funny looking pants that cranberry farmers wear. I love the ocean spray commercials where the men are just standing with all those floating berries around them. Plus cranberries are so good for you cranberry juice dried cranberries and even cranberry sauce at thanksgiving, what could be better than cranberries.
