Christmas is a few days away and hopefully you all finished your holiday shopping! I wanted to share a D.I.Y. I learned a couple of days ago! I believe this would add an extra personal touch to your presents! It may take a while at first but once you get the hang of it, you'll finish this in less than 5 minutes! All...

Nothing like a good energy boost before finals! This Chunky Strawberry bowl from Jamba Juice has a dash of peanut butter that makes the fat little girl in me scream and jump with joy! It has the right ratio of creamy, gooey goodness to fresh bursts of strawberries! This bowl may seem small but it keeps me full and energized for a sufficient...

THE SUN ALSO RISES even though it's been raining in Orange County. Oh, as a side note, that novel was one of my favorites in high school by Ernest Hemingway. Finals are in less than two weeks and the end of my undergraduate years are starting to hit me. It's time to devote more time to school and get rock solid grades.  As...

Gobble gobble! Fall happens to be my favorite season not only because of all the holiday decor and festivities but the food... THE F O O D!! So long diet! For some odd reason, apple pie and cinnamon rolls taste so much better this time of year. Well, to me at least, haha. Do you guys have a favorite hor d'oeuvre, entree or...

BLACK FRIDAY MADNESS. Happy belated Thanksgiving guys! The herd of people waiting to go into Best Buy/Fry's, the plethora of women in the shoe department... INSANITY. I hope everyone is enjoying their week thus far! Even though I'm on break, there is so much work I have to complete. Anyways, I don't know how many of you watch Hart of Dixie on the CW...

I cannot believe the year is almost over! I already finished my Foundations and Cardio block this quarter and I have my Pulmonary final coming up next Wednesday! I surprisingly got much more sleep this block which was only possible since I didn't attend class... I have a Type A personality and I'm what you would call a "good student" who typically attends...

This look was taken some time ago when it was still warm in Southern California - the temperature has drastically dropped ever since! I recently acquired this oh so cute trapeze top from Forever 21 and I've been mixing it with different bottoms non-stop! I was going for something casual so I ended up pairing this top with my favorite leather shorts and...

Despite the brief bout of rain earlier last week, the temperature in Southern California is continuing to rise (90 degree weather in November!). But then again, why am I surprised? As a native Californian, I understand that I am living in an eternal summer with occasional rain. Most people would say I'm lucky however, I actually like the rain - I want to...

I stated in the past that I wanted to expand my blog by incorporating a variety of fields from fashion and pharmacy to food and lifestyle... Well, here's my first shot at a food post! Cue the mariachi music because this post is all about Mexican food featuring Old El Paso's Dinner Kit! I'm a sucker for Mexican food or anything with a...

When I began pharmacy school, I came in with the mentality that I would later pursue a career in industry. I never considered any other path but if my first year has taught me anything, it's that people change paths very often. I actually changed majors as an undergrad from Biomedical Engineering to Biological Sciences. Not much of a leap however, I took...

This post has definitely been a long time coming! I visited Wonderspaces in San Diego over the summer and haven't had the chance to upload my pictures until now though I did post some on my Instagram and VSCO! If you know me, then you must know I love pop-up art installations and museums/art in general! I'm all for traveling a bit of...

Hey guys! If you've been following along on my instagram, you know that I recently tried Jamba Juice's new Energy Bowls! The one pictured here is the Island Pitaya Bowl along with their Matcha Green Tea Blast Smoothie! I needed a break from studying and of course, I naturally wanted food so I opted for healthy options at Jamba. The Island Pitaya Bowl...

Reminiscing to a time when I didn't have to worry about imminent exams or drowning in a massive pile of work that continues to grow. I miss going to the beach every weekend without feeling guilty about pushing my studying aside... listening to the waves crash against the sand, picking up broken seashells, watching the sun disappear in the horizon, eating way too...

dfrntpigeon was launched by New Avenues For Youth, a non-profit organization, to provide a creative environment for at-risk and homeless youths in Portland, Oregon. At first glance, you may pick up on the fact that these tees are a good representation of life - from highlighting the unspoken truths about society to providing hope in dark times. However, what you may not know...

WARRIOR PRINCESS. How is everyone? Please excuse my absence from the blogosphere! Do you guys ever catch yourself in the midst of an exquisite day dream? Well, I took a Native American class during my second year in college and this dress reminded me of a Pow Wow I attended at UCI! The people I became acquainted with at the event were incredibly...

Howdy folks! I just started my second week of school and I cannot fathom the amount of material that has already accumulated. I've technically only been in school for seven days but whew this block schedule is definitely different. I personally prefer the scheduling since class lets out around noon each day. Even though I'm falling slightly behind, I'm taking my time to...

Clashing patterns was one of my favorite past time activities... but I'm back at it again! I pulled out these ZARA polka dot shorts from my armoire to find it much shorter than I remembered. I'm positive I did not get any taller so I suppose my perception of length and sense of fashion was much different in college. To give this outfit an...

* Post from the archives * Fashion's Night Out. I attended FNO at South Coast Plaza! I must say that the Chloe Fashion Show was impressive however, it was way too short! I loved all of the lightweight dresses & blouses and how pastels were incorporated into their Fall-Winter 2012/2013 Collection. No more boring shades this Autumn! I cannot wait until this treacherous...

Summer is dwindling down way too fast... I have orientation today and I officially start school after Labor Day. I must admit that I'm excited to be back in school though I'm not looking forward to exams. As for reflections, this has been one abominable summer. I don't share too much about my personal life online to maintain privacy (besides my pharmacy experience)...

I love wandering through stores that offer a large selection of school supplies. I would say I'm an old fashioned kind of gal; I love writing things down on paper. You should see my growing collection of empty journals on my bookshelves! Even though I bring my laptop to school, I still rewrite my notes afterwards... I feel that I learn and absorb...

Happy Total Solar Eclipse day! Are any of you in a prime viewing area? I'm currently situated in San Diego, pretty far from Oregon, but it's projected that we'll be able to see a "partial" eclipse. I'm going to try to be a glass half full kind of girl. Better than nothing, right? Well, I hope you guys all have fun trying to...

A casual outfit fit for the first day of school. Yes, I have worn outfits as such to school before - heels included! This lace, peter-pan collar top is a modest option that I find acceptable at any day occasion. Although the peplum adds a sense of shape at the waist, I wanted to accentuate my curves with this Betsey Johnson belt. Instead...

I'm back to my regular outfit posts though I would love to move my blog into the direction of also incorporating lifestyle and travel. I mentioned it in the past but I did not realize how life as a student would rapidly consume me. I'm typically in front of the camera lens whenever I have a DSLR around however, I do snap a...

AN EVENING at Shoreline Village in Long Beach. It's a cute little village with an amazing view of the Queen Mary and lighthouses! I love cruising along the beach but this place was really humid and sticky! The entire village is decorated with colorful shops which reminded me of Jelly Belly Jelly Beans! There's also an adorable hat shop with really peculiar hats! ...

'Tis the season of heartache for many for the long school year awaits. But then again, Autumn and Winter fashion is so much better, don't you think? The art of layering and throwing on coats with cute boots is just thrilling - feel that adrenaline rush! I used to actually "dress-up" when I went to school. I had a Blair Waldorf phase from...

I immediately fell in love with this dress and I had to have it! However, I must say that it is IMPOSSIBLE to drive in. Unless you have someone else driving you around, I suggest you do something else to it... which is exactly what I did. The last picture demonstrates what the unaltered dress looks like. The sleeves are pretty long and I...

To all my lovely readers, you may have noticed that I've been MIA and for all of those who follow me on Instagram, I made Insta-Videos and posted pictures explaining why my online presence was scarce. Truth be told, it's been a brutal month for me. My grandma was hours away from boarding her flight to America with my relatives before suddenly passing away....

A Dolce and Gabbana inspired look from the 2009 Cruise Collection; I remember imitating a lot of the looks from this collection during my senior year in high school! I am a huge fan of bows and I have loved the color pink ever since I was a child.  Anyways, splurging on brand name clothing isn't always ideal so I opt for imagination...

Taking full advantage of the cloudy overcast in California even though I still have a nasty cough! Although it may be cloudy, it is still quite hot...Anyways, I received this hot pink midi skirt courtesy of Vault Lifestyle. When I first tried on this skirt, I wanted to make my outfit "stand out" from the norm. The typical black or white top was...
