Meet My Horse // Levi


Today is a good day for me to "introduce" my horse as it is his 14th birthday


Levi -- like the jeans-- is a Thoroughbred. He used to race at Belmont racetrack before I "rescued" him. Levi has a "bucking" problem so he was deemed unsafe and little 14 year old me ended up with him. Flash forward 10 years later and here we are!



For those of you who may know "horse words", I competed with Levi (who's show name is The Perfect Fit) in the hunters and equitation ring for years. He is currently semi-retire after some medical issues and anxiety (and despising New York). 

 FOURTEEN YEARS OLD! I got this monster when he was 4, so this is a proud psycho-mom moment for me. I am so blessed to have him in my life. 

As a little four year old! 



Just a quick update from my phone. I'm sure I will edit this upon getting home to my laptop. How I love my horses! (this is just one of three!)

Valentines Day or Singles Awareness Day?

February 14th is right around the corner. The day when restaurant reservations are a mythical creature, flowers are everywhere, and the chocolate- must resist the chocolate.

Lucky for us singles out there, we don't have to worry about all of that. No stress of presents, no feeling you need to out-do another couple, no sharing your "special evening" with every other couple in the universe. Oh, but the downfall? The entire day you are reminded that you are single. For some- that may be a relief (hey, you're single you can do what you want). For others, like yours truly, it sucks to have all those hearts and lovey-dovey shit thrown in your face. So here's my guide to a butt-kicking Valentine's Single's Awareness Day

Liebster Award!



Logged into my blog to find that Liza from Liza's Corner nominated me for a Liebster Award! I absolutely love reading these on my fellow blogger's sites because I actually get to know the intelligent minds behind the screens. Being nominated makes me feel like I'm in the blogger community, so exciting!





1. Describe yourself in 3 words 
Outgoing, Loyal, Happy

2. What made you start blogging?
I only began blogging recently. While I've always been a blog reader and thought "why not take the plunge?" I decided to publish this blog when I finally decided that I will be moving out and I wanted to document my life. I'm hoping in a year I can come back and reflect on what I've done.

3. Where is your dream travel destination?
This is one of the hardest questions. I want to travel everywhere. I'm a nature and animal lover, a self proclaimed conservationist.  I believe that I would have the most fun in Africa. I want to go on adventures, do things I couldn't do somewhere else. I can sit on a beach, go shopping at many destinations. How many places can I go on a safari and be within distance of a lion's den? 

4. What is your favourite hobby ?
Surprised I haven't touched on this yet. I'm a horseback rider. I compete on (currently) the East Coast on the hunter/jumper circuit. I have 3 horses; Levi, Nala, and Ellie. I am the most serene when I am with them. 


Yes, thats me and one of my princesses =)

5. If you could bring back one trend/look from the past, what would it be?
I would just like to steal Marilyn Monroe's wardrobe and wear it daily. From her dresses to her simple sweaters, I want it all!

6. What’s your favourite season for fashion?
Autumn. Hands down. I adore the effortless beauty that comes with the weather. Warm enough to look nice without the bulk, but cool enough that the clothes are SO cozy. Did I mention the fall boots and booties!?

7. Skirt, Pants or Shorts ? 
I love skirts. But realistically, I wear a lot of shorts. My goal this summer is to rock a pair of high waisted shorts, I havent tackled that territory yet!

8. Necklace or bracelet ?
Bracelet. I have the one necklace that I tend to wear nearly everyday. So I like to play around with costume bracelets, layering different looks, mixing metals. 

9. What’s the one beauty product you can’t live without?
Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner Pencil in Perversion. Hands down.




10. What is your favourite day in a week and why?
Saturdays. There is something about the vibe everyone else gives off on a Saturday that I find makes it so much fun. While some Saturdays I do work, I still find that day to have sense of happiness. 

11.What does motivate you the most ?
I like to believe that I am my biggest motivator. 



My Questions!
  1. What is the "best kept secret" of the town you live in?
  2. What is your favorite song of all time?

  5. Which are your favorite blogs to write (not necessarily your most popular!)?
  6. It's a Saturday night! What does your perfect Saturday entail?
  7. What is one thing you never leave the house without?
  8. What is your dream career?
  9. What is your guilty pleasure television show?
  10. If you could sit down and talk to one person for an hour, alive or passed, who would it be?
