Waiting for Summer

I've had such a hectic schedule lately, so I haven't been on the computer that much... A lot of new things have been happening and I'm really excited that it's gonna be summer vacation soon. Spring break was good and now finally about 7 more school weeks to go!

My family is coming to LA in the summer and this is where my sis, bro and I will be spending our days!

Women's Day!

Happy Women's Day to all the wonderful women everywhere! You are ALL beautiful, priceless and important! I really love being a women and I enjoy this holiday. I remember last year, it was funny because my significant other who is from the States had never heard about it and thought I was making it up. I really haven't seen or heard anyone talking about Women's Day here in the States, even though I thought it was an International holiday? Maybe not. I was still happy when he remembered it, bought me flowers, and took me out to dinner and shopping.

Women's day is a great opportunity for women to enjoy all the things that women can do: be feminine, use pretty clothes, pamper themselves and whatever feels good! It's also nice when men acknowledge women on this day.

I started off my Women's Day by going to get a laser treatment. I'm so excited that I finally started doing the laser hair removal to all the parts I don't like hair growth in. My hair is very thick, since I'm half Nigerian, and it grows fast in certain areas. Also, since I have such a low tolerance for pain, waxing and sugaring have been so painful and inconvenient for the past years. I started a 1-year treatment for my underarms and brazilian bikini area, and those are the only two areas that really bother me so I'm really happy!

I'll be coming here every 5 weeks for the next year.

This is what the procedure looks like. Takes only a couple minutes! (Source: http://www.girlishh.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/laser-hair-removal2.jpg)

I went for a little hike after my laser appointment.

My favorite view from Runyon Canyon! It was such a nice and sunny day today!

After Runyon, it was time to get my nails done. They were sooo overdue!

O.P.I. "Peel here" ...one of my favorite colors ever!!!

The color doesn't show that well in pics, but it's silver & gold with tiny red/copper dots.

Also had a great yoga sculpt class & now time for dinner!

Sending love to all my ladies!

Women should really support each other and work together more!

I looove food!

Like many others, I loove food. i love different dishes, eating out at different places and trying out new foods. I also like to cook new dishes and I need to go cookbook shopping soon! I've been sick for a couple days now, which sucks for many reasons, but also because I don't really have an appetite! Here are some delicious dishes that I eat on a regular, almost weekly basis.

One of my favorite dishes ever! Lobster w/ dynamite sauce on top of california roll @ Sushi-Dan on Sunset. Delicious!

My outfit for Soho House...Fun night! Vest: H&M / Tank top:  some store on 3rd St promenade / Pants: Zara / Shoes: CL

Another fave dish of mine...Greek Chicken Salad @ California Pita. Organic, cheap and so good! My girl Laura and I always eat here after a workout or just for fun.

I love salads and this one is so easy and quick to make, so I make it often. Lettuce, cucumber, jumbo shrimp and avocado w/ pepper and lemon.

This is almost the same salad, but without the avocado and with some barbeque balsamic sauce.

Eating at Sushi-Dan once again. I cannot resist this dish!

Went out to Greystone Manor last Sunday...fun times with some Finnish girls and some FIDM girls.

Went out for dinner with some Finnish LA girls & one who was visiting LA a couple days ago... Shirt: H&M / Jeans: Robin's Jeans (my fave!)

Shoes: Grey suede pumps from some shop at Santa Monica Place

We ate at Aroma Cafe..Tilapia w/ eggplant, it's so taste-y!

My friends shared this delicious dessert...I had a spoonful too!

Felt like wearing this shirt to give me a boost, because I was feeling so un-winning today because of my flu! Unfortunately, it didn't really make me feel better lol.

I had a foot massage in the morning, I thought maybe some relaxation time would make me feel better.
