Pesto Potato Salad

          I am feeling really tried; before I fall asleep I thought I should blog. I just came from a yoga class that was really layback, which is something I generally don't like because I enjoy intense classes. However, after yesterday running that the gym this class was the perfect thing needed to be ready for tomorrow's gym time.           While looking at my refrigerator yesterday I had one of those moment where I said to myself; " there is nothing I can eat" so instead of going out to lunch I decided to cook something. Using pesto I made few days ago.  I recently saw this video on Vimeo and completely fell in love with it, it's the most adorable video ever.  INGREDIENTS   1 tomato (sliced) 1 avocado (sliced) 1 Cumber (sliced) 2 yellow potato (sliced) 1 cup of almonds  1 cup of Pumpkin seeds  Spinach  Kale  Sweet green pea 2 garlic clove  1 tbsp. salt  1 tbsp.

         Yesterday the place I work at had a launch party for their new collection for back to school, I am not supposed to say negative things about the store, but I feel obligated to say this. The new collection is great, and its something I can see myself wearing however, I think the store has bought into the mainstream style instead of being different and distinct from other brands the store new collection is pretty much combination American eagle, forever 21, Urban Outfitter, and Smart Set. Regardless the launch party was pretty good. I am still continuing with my summer yoga challenge of trying every pose and challenging my ability. I have to say I am pretty impressed with myself, and what I’ve been able to do. Apart from committing to go to yoga once a week, I am also committing to practicing at home. One of my toughest challenges is a headstand but, after many practices I can do supported headstand without the aid of a wall. I have to say headstand is probabl

Sunday: Top Five

Image
Hey guys Happy Sunday! How your Sunday going? Mine started with going to work, and a customer thinking I am 16 years old. Of course it’s not something new to me because I am used to people mistaking my age pretty much 90% of the time. Before I head to my second job I thought I should blog about my top five of the week.  1.  House of Cards – my professor recommended this show to me and I am addicted. It’s a political drama that’s full of unexpected turns. The cast is just amazing, the acting is done perfect, and even better my favorite character Kevin Spacey is the main character who the show is pretty much revolves around. 2.  Chalkboard Wall – from my previous blog you probably read about me painting my room chalkboard paint 3.  Juicing – why eat your vegetables when you can drink it. I absolutely love juicing.  4.    Listening to music – I was recently at a friend’s house, and they said they never have the chance to just lay in bed and listen to

Weekend Fun

What are you guys up to this Weekend? This weekend I’ve decided to paint my room. The history of my room color is long one; it used to be white with posters. Then, it went into plain white with no posters, then lemon green, then white. Now it’s black and White. After getting this great inspiration from a photo on Tumblr my room now is half black and white.  For the black side I used chalkboard paint.  I absolutely love it because it gives me a chance to sketch without going through the process of buying a sketchbook and being extremely careful. With the chalkboard wall I feel so much  free  sketching because there is less constraints as to what I could sketch, or how small or Big.  Beside painting my room, I am working on Sunday and right now instead of going out  I am watching my cousins. I have to admit I am not loving it at all because they are watching the disney channel and I am forced to watch it too. Before:  After:
