Mental

mental 

1. To power your way through a difficult situation by sheer strength of mind and bull-headedness.

2. When something is absolutely insane, or just down right gnar. 


Embrace this monday with the definition that suits you best ...

Music Friday

Today is all about the 90's guilty pleasures, please do not judge me too brutally (these songs are so bad) !

N'SYNC - "Bye Bye Bye"

AQUA - "Barbie Girl"

HANSON - "Mmmbop"

MISSY ELLIOT - "Work It"

And my most embarrassing guilty pleasure of all...

TARKAN - "Kiss Kiss"

I just laughed my a** off listening and watching these videos ... in my defense, we all have guilty pleasures ...

Wait What ?

Last Thursday I went to a Blogger Worskshop on how to wear scarves; it was hosted by Alegría y Decisión and Suturno at a really lovely store, Maggie. I had a really good time and the best part of it was that they taught new ways to wear scarves, which you all know is one of the things I like the most. This is one of the turbans I learned how to do and I just couldn't wait to rock it !!
