the beginning

i’m so excited to start my very own blog! i’ve been toying with the idea for awhile, and i finally decided to go for it. my goal for this blog is to chronicle the things that bring happiness to my life. here are a few short explanations of why eating, making and reading make me so happy.

eat: let’s start with the food. when i was a child, i was that super picky child who only ate macaroni and cheese and macaroni and cheese. but now, after moving to brooklyn and maturing a bit, i’m so excited to try new things! a friend was amazed the other day to learn that i just tried mushrooms for the first time. haha, it kind of makes me laugh.
my goal for this year is to try a new restaurant every week for the next year. i’m looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

make: i’ve really always loved to make things. as a little girl i watched my mom make crafts every holiday season and i began doing the same. now as a graphic designer, doing creative things off the computer strengthens my creativity and gives me inspiration. i love learning how to do new things from baking a new recipe to knitting up a new pattern, so hopefully there will be lots of projects to show.

read: reading has always been a part of my life, but living in new york has really enhanced my love of reading. honestly, it’s hard not to read when you take public transportation every day. it’s great to have a half hour everyday to just zone out and get lost in a good book or article.

woohoo! i’m excited to see where my interests lie next year at this time.
