home

I have returned home from Seattle, and I already miss it!

I'm so excited to share the photos I took from

my trip, but I have way too many!

Throughout the week i'll be posting photos from some memorable events during my stay...

Here's a little sneak peak...

I am still in Seattle enjoying my time with family and friends! Yesterday I went hiking and kayaking; it was so much fun! It was so nice to be outside in the warm sunshine...    — Minna   

good times

Yesterday night, I literally ate the best meal of my entire life! If you follow me on instagram, you could see that I was going a bit crazy posting all these food photos like a maniac. We ate on the balcony and got to see the beautiful sunset, and it was absolutely breathtaking! I will be sure to post more photos of my experience soon! I hope you all are having a wonderful week, and enjoying this wonderful summer weather.      — Minna

Hello everyone! I am currently in my hometown, Seattle to celebrate my brother's wedding! I shall return back home next saturday, but in the meantime, I will be enjoying this beautiful weather! I was worried that it would be raining, but thankfully that hasn't been the case! Oh, and I want to thank you all for the sweet birthday wishes on my last post! Wishing you all an amazing week filled with lots and lots of smiles! Until next time...      — Minna

Today is my birthday! Yay! I have no special plans, but it's okay! My family has many birthdays in May, so we usually celebrate it all on one day. I have some delicious carrot apple cake waiting for me in the fridge, so i'm ready to dig in! Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!      — Minna   

P.S. I just found out that my cousin's baby was born today just a few hours ago!

A lot of the time, our reactions determine the way things happen... If we stop and think about our reactions to certain things, maybe the outcome would be different. We have the choice, and the ability to do great things! We can have happiness, so let us work hard and never give up! Woo! Have a great week everyone!     — Minna   

yum

Here are some simple and delicious recipes that I want to try making this week:
1. These sweet potato fries look mouthwatering... ahh! I want some!
2. I've never made tomato soup before, so i'll definitely be making that!
3. A healthy salad with carrots, avocado, and a poached egg... yum.
4. I love, love, love breakfast sandwiches, so this recipe is perfect.

it's ok

We all have those days when we just want to hit ourselves in the head and think, "why on earth did I do that?". We all make mistakes. We all have regrets. That's just the nature of being human I guess... Just know that it's okay to make mistakes! Sometimes those mistakes or regrets need to happen in order for you to get to where you need to be. Everything happens for a reason...    — Minna

summer basics

Summer is almost here, and I can't contain my excitement!

Here are some nice summer basics to have in your closet this season:

a perfect envelope clutch to hold your things / a light chambray blazer for those cool summer nights /

i think we can all agree that everyone needs a white tee and a striped boatneck shirt in their closet! /

make a statement with these sweet j.crew floral pants / i love patterned bottoms, so there's no

arguing with these awesome patterned shorts! / this j.crew striped swimsuit is calling

my name / ahh, these tangerine soludos are just great, comfortable too!
