Picky Eaters

Before I went to Spain I was a very picky eater.  I would eat the foods I knew I liked, and I never really eat outside of the bun box. 

In Spain, I lived in a homestay with a Spanish family.  They were fantastic, but knew little English.. which wasn't too big of a dilemma because I can converse well in Spanish. However, sometimes my Spanish mom would go on rants at lunch time and in order to understand Spanish, I would have to pay a lot of attention to what she was saying.  Sometimes my mind just wanted to relax, think about other things.. 

So as she rambled on, I just sat there nodding and eating and thinking about my own things. 

However, often times she would talk about what we were eating, which means I would miss out on what food I was consuming.  This caused me to be not as picky, and just eat what was in front of me and try new things.  

It was good! Because now I'm not very picky when it comes to food.
exception: not a fan of chili. 
I've noticed lately that my "picky" tendencies are coming back though.  
and I need to stop! 

I got a drink from Starbucks a bit ago, and because it looked weird, I wasn't to keen on drinking it.  
But who cares! I should definitely not! 
At least I have the ability to order and buy a Starbucks drink.
I need to be more thankful (and reread my previous blog post). 

Moral of this blog post... Don't be picky! Just enjoy the fact that you have food to eat and drinks to slurp down. 

Anyways, 
back to studying. 

Love love love.

No words needed.

Names are only so helpful--> but pictures! That's what draws people in.  Could be a memory of a time, or the feeling you get when you picture yourself in that situation.  The power of photography is huge . Pictures can take you back to a moment you had-- one that you could never go back and repeat, and it gives you joy.  Photography can also cause laughter, and quite frequently--embarrassment.  For those pictures, thankfully there is a delete button.  But compare this post to my last one.  Instead of the names of all of the cities and countries to visit on a Eurotrip , try pictures .  See if it entices you more.  These pictures correlate with the list of cities in my previous blogpost... but I will have to split it in half and show you the first fifteen in this post, the last 16 in the next.. :)

Tiffany & Co Bridal Shower

So you've seen my Coral themed bridal shower (For those of you that haven't, you should definitely check it out here ) but as my duties as a maid of honor, I was given the opportunity and privilege to host my cousin's bridal shower.  When I asked her what she wanted as a theme- she knew instantly.  "Breakfast at Tiffany's".  I had no idea how many great ideas I would find on Pinterest under this category, but let me tell you- there was millions!  It was so fun.  We had it this last saturday at the same place I had mine at- so some of the things look pretty similar, just in a different color.  Everyone was asked to wear black which was adorable, and the bride wore a black and white dress so she stood out.  She looked so beautiful.

10 Reasons Why Japan is Wonderful

Japan is a very special, unique little place.  Well- it’s not THAT little. Especially when it holds a population of around 127 million.  But what makes Japan so great?  Because as soon as you step on their soil, you know there is something wonderful about the place.  I’ve compiled a list of interesting characteristics about Japan and its people that have captured my love for this foreign, hello-kitty loving, beautiful place.   CUSTOMER SERVICE.  I haven’t been somewhere that has such great customer service.  They will literally run to get you what you asked for, or run around to try and make sure that the customer is happy.  I once asked about a product in the grocery store and they ran to the back of the store, bagged up what I needed, and ran it back to me in under two minutes. 2.       CUSTOMER SERVICE IN RESTAURANTS The customer service in restaurants is quite different than in the U.S.  Typically, they have a button at the table that you press when you are ready t
