Friends, HOW R U??? I know, I know — it's been awhile since I've written here. If you're reading this post however, then you may have seen my site got a facelift! Or shall I say, partial facelift? Over the past few years, updating my design portfolio has rightfully taken low priority to the amazing clients who've come my way. But as a designer who'd like to keep working with amazing clients, the time has come to finally revamp this space for the first time in 3 1/2 years.
While the nagging perfectionist in me would prefer to debut my new portfolio finished and dripping in that Bruno finesse, it's not my reality. For a long time, I used this inability to devote large chunks of time as a reason not to do it. However, procrastination is just fear in a very lazy disguise. (Brené, I see you, I hear you.) I've been working to combat my own fear by becoming friends with incremental progress. Small, consistent steps do not form the sexy route, but I'm finding almost always, they do form the more successful one.

I realize now it was just a fantasy future, to distract me from an agonizing present." (via Rachel)

The last conversation you'll ever need to have about eating right. "We don’t know, because the study to prove that any one diet is “best” for human health hasn’t been done, and probably can’t be. So, for our health, the “best” diet is a theme: an emphasis on vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, lentils, nuts, seeds, and plain water for thirst. That can be with or without seafood; with or without dairy; with or without eggs; with or without some meat; high or low in total fat."

I spent just a few days in Seoul wandering the shopping streets, endless coffee shops and sign-strewn alleyways, and could've easily spent many more. If you're looking for a place to crash between all the eating (so much eating!!!!!), walking & exploring, I can't recommend
