10 things I've learned this week.

1. It's okay to love where you are at in life. 
2. Blessed to be a teacher in the city
3. Avocados....all day everyday. 
4. Outside lands....it's less than two weeks away. EEEEEE!!!
5. Living on your own....incredible. 
6. I'm a grown up...when did this happen? 
7. happiness...is a beautiful thing. 
8. manicures, a girls best friend. 
9. I  could listen to young the giant all day. 
10. lattes they make my heart oh so happy. 

the weekend.

On the weekends I am up at 5am.  I can't help it. 

Sleeping in...doesn't come natural to me. I wish it did.

I blame the years of working as a barista where 5am shifts were my life.  The days where Americano's and morning machiatos were my only friends before the hours of 10am. 
Naps....those are what I crave.  Yet, even those are seldom.  My body was made for early mornings.  The mere moments of...quiet.  The moments where I can sit, write and drink coffee. The ones when not a sound is made, not a word spoken.  Complete and utter silence.  I live for those moments. 
The weekend mornings... are just mine.  Mornings made up of early runs, messy bun, no makeup and yoga pants. ~ Weekend afternoons and evening are made for a little more.... Fresh flowers, trips to the farmers market, laundry, the start of a new book, nights out, my loves, eyeliner, pink lipstick and high heels.    

I want to live.

"I'm not sure what I'll do, but --- well, I want to go places and see people.  I want my mind to grow. I want to live where things happen on a big scale."  - F. Scott Fitzgerald  Moving to the city was exactly what I was suppose to do, all along....

Craftman & Wolves.

There is a street in the Mission that has easily become one of favorite parts of the city, Valencia St. I catch myself hanging out there some morning, some afternoon and even some evening. It's filled with restaurants, bars, coffee shops, clothing stores and so much more. I find myself down on Valencia at least once maybe even twice a week. It's the perfect area to meet for brunch, walk around and meet for dinner and drinks at night. I love the atmosphere, the people and all that surrounds this neighborhood.  Last weekend I finally tried out one of the many bakeries that I have been dying to try since moving to the city last summer: Craftsman & Wolves. There pastries our to die for and they serve one of my favorite types of coffees, SightGlass. That makes this place that much better. The ambiance was so chill and comfortable. I can't wait to go back to lesson plan, read or just meet with friends.
