life begins, again.

i originally created this blog for a project, but forgot about it. so its being re-purposed. like, recycling via the internet. you can follow me and my "crazy" life, here. just like everyone else who starts a blog. im no more special than you. yes, you are THAT special. so, pick a cookie and drink coffee with me.

---

im a twenty something "graduate" who lives in the vicinity of Boston proper. i love Boston, because its home, but i love Europe even more. magical times they were in Florence. but currently, i have a lot of time on my hands, fuckin economy, and am in the process of redirecting my life. woohoo.

ideally, i would be some big shot buyer for Neiman's or Barney's or Sak's. so, its something to look forward to. but, i have career un-focus, and want to do too much, because there is so much to do....

so, that brings me to my loves. i love food and anything that involves creativity. i am head over heels for anything fashion, but less about whats current and more about style. that will be something to be explored in the future. style versus fashion. d.i.y. anything runs through my head, at all times. i.e. interior/ furniture design. there's always so much to do, and so little money (and time). im a huge advocate for "recycling", but am no where near a recycling nazi. i like to focus on "up-cycling", another subject to be further explored. lets see...what else...makeup. i am a collector of makeup. men will probably see this as useless, women will understand the obsession. something about all the purty colors and its promise to make us all look like Natasha or whoever, in snap! Even though we all know, its an adverting ploy. Movies and netflix!!! im on a documentary kick. im a online dater. i love architecture and all it has to offer. Boston is nice for history lovers, and youtube and TV. Okay, im describing everything that will come up in this blog, because, its a blog about everything I love! And so it seems, i love everything.

Ciao tutti, a domani!
