Introduction

I hope that this blog will be more of a "notebook" for my life, growing into the 20-something lifestyle that is living on your own. i keep coming across recipes for deserts, dishes, cocktails... endless quotes i hear, fashion, style, design.. and cool sites, pictures and oddities of life that really don't have a place anywhere else that i would like to store in a nice way.. Without having to pack something else into a box in my vagabond life.

enjoy
