Momiji! ^_^
A belated Christmas present came in today from one of my dearest and most thoughtful friends. I squealed with excitement!
Her name is coco, and she is a Momiji vintage doll. Not only is she “coco crazy for springtime in Paris,” as seen on her arrival box, but she likes bicycles built for two.” I am a Francophile (I met my best friend in French class!), and I love Kokeshi...

Pearls of wisdom, courtesy of Caribou Coffee.
Ages upon ages ago (or months, whatev), I met a girlfriend for coffee as I went “home” for a visit in my college town. We met at Caribou, the in-between our two locales, and enjoyed a lovely hours-long “Asian girl bonding session,” as she amusingly and accurately calls it.
Now, I’m a sucker for all things that pull on the ol’ heartstrings, clichés and all,...

“Wealth is not what you have but what little you need.”
– Found in a girlfriend’s list of favorite quotes. It especially resonates with me when I deal with people who look down on me for what I do, because they live to work while I choose to…not live that way.

30 Reasons to Blog.
I could think of several reasons not to blog, but Tumbler cutely advertised 30 reasons why I’d love it. So I thought, if I can think of 30 reasons of my own, then I will launch my own. I was surprised at how quickly I filled up numbers 1 through 30.
I talk a lot, which translates to writing a lot. And I’m self-conscious about how much I talk. This could work.
