I have discovered that the more I travel and meet new people, the more I understand that the best things in life aren't “things.” For me the best things in life are waking up in the morning and living another day. I am grateful to be able to spend time with my elders, and listen to the stories that their family has passed on to them. It's being able to laugh endlessly with your family and friends, and realizing how lucky you are to have them in your life. It's being able to watch the sunrise and sunset every day, and not know what color the sky will be that night. ​

This past week I went to the mountains in North Carolina. The mountains are hands down my favorite thing about North Carolina. On Thursday we dedicated the whole day to hiking.

​So happy to share this film I took while I was in Monticello, Utah. I had such an amazing time. Every year I visit this stunning place I'm amazed by it's beauty more and more. I hope you enjoy. Xo, N

I can't believe a month has already flown by in New York City. This city is exciting, fast, overwhelming and interesting all jumbled into one. So it's important to spend some time for yourself doing things that you love.

Personally I enjoy spending an afternoon in Central Park with friends, trying new ice cream places in the city (because who doesn't love ice cream), going to a movie screening in the park or even sitting by the river and opening up a new book. It's the little things.

The definition of perfect is, "Someone completely free from faults or defects."

Nobody is perfect. We are all human. You may see models or celebrities as "perfection".  Ads don’t reflect the average day of models. A combination of photo shop, make up artists, and talented photographers create the looks that people around the world strive to look like.
 
There may be someone you view as perfect, but get to know them. They are probably just like you and me.

Don't be hard on yourself. Perfect is an unrealistic goal. Be the best version of yourself.

Starting Tuesday, I will be living in New York City for the next three months. I will be interning in the Public Relations department at Oscar de la Renta. I'm so grateful for this opportunity.

Living in New York for three months will be a huge change for me, but I'm excited to take it on. Interning with a New York fashion company has always been a dream of mine. If several years ago someone had told me of the opportunity coming my way I wouldn’t had believed it.

Life is a gift. Sometimes in life we can get sucked up into negative things. When this happens it’s important to take a step back and figure out what really matters. Here are steps that I use often to make the most out of life.

          Online shopping is great. It allows me to do my two favorite things; lie in bed and shop. It doesn't get much better than that. I decided to curate a post with a collection of my favorite online shopping sites. The sites I've listed vary from prices to styles.

          Happy Easter ❀ I'm so happy spring is here! This past week I flew up to New York City for two days. I got to catch up with one of my good friends Mayleen (aka MayMay). We explored Central Park and stopped by various cafes. Big thank you to Aunt Deanna, for letting me crash at her place for the 48 hours I was in the city.
