I am melting

It has been crazy hot here in Los Angeles. It just came out of nowhere! Most of the summer days lately have been ok, maybe reaching about 90 degrees (32c) the highest, but yesterday it hit 105 (40c) and today it will be 112 (44c). I HATE IT! lol I don't like hot weather at all. My absolutely favorite seasons are fall and winter. I can't just pick one. Both of them are my favorite. I love the weather during fall and how crisp the air is. Especially on nights like  Halloween. It's not that cold but it's cold. That makes no sense but it's the only way I can describe it. Then winter comes and it's colllld. Granted not as cold as the east coast or anything but cold for California standards lol. I have never experienced east coast winters or anywhere else that wasn't here in Los Angeles, so when I complain that it's cold, my east coast friends and boyfriend will say "you don't know what cold is" and it's true I don't, but I know what my body knows, and it knows that winters in California make me cold. Cold enough for me to want to wear cute hoodies, jackets and scarves lol. Scarves are a little overboard, but they are cute. I like them lol! This year I'm going to be breaking out the berets and cute little peacoats. Not a heavy coat, because... California lol.

Last night we got Ice Cream and sat outside on the porch because it was just so hot. The weather was nice. It's a bit dark outside so I am thinking about getting some LED fairy lights for it. I think it will make summer nights much more enjoyable.



I am not ready for the heat today. It is only 8AM and I am already melting. I plan to turn on the air condition and pack orders the whole day and have a cold lunch. Not sure what to eat for lunch. I'm thinking korean cold noodles, or a salad. Nothing hot! lol I can't wait to get everyone's orders packed and my queue down to 0. I have a long list of things people have requested to be added to the shop. Backstreet Boys being one of them and that honestly sounds like it would be fun to add, even though I was an NSYNC girl hehe. I even went to their concert and saw them backstage of Jay Leno and got to meet Justin Timberlake. I was a hardcore fan girl LOL I met Nick Carter too but not by choice, just through a mutual friend lol Not that I don't appreciate backstreet boys. I was just such a NSYNC fan back then. Nothing tops my fan girling over Leonardo DiCaprio though. I lost my shit when he died in Titanic. 😂😂😂😂😂 My parents used to own a photo shop while I was growing up. Not the 1-hour kind of photoshop, but the kind where it had ektachrome film processing (which I heard is making a comeback this year) that was used for Slides, movie stills, magazines. They had 3 shop locations and each location ofc had different customers, but my parents knew all of the regulars by their names and treated them like family. Oscar night would be the biggest night and my dad would be working all night to get everything out. I remember one of the photographers had taken a bunch of leonardo pics that night. Titanic had just come out, and that photographer knew about my fan girling and asked my parents to make double of each print for me. I cried LOL It was such a precious gift to see that he wanted to make little me happy. I will never forget it, and now every time I think back to my leonardo phase I think of that photographer. I still have the pictures! Thank you!!

annnnnnnnnnnd now I am off to work. Goodye Journal.

Happy 4th!

It's quite hot today in Los Angeles. Perfect beach weather, although I honestly  haven't gone to the beach in many many years lol. Last night while doing orders I decided to order take out since I didn't have time to cook. I think I was allergic to an ingredient in the food and just started getting itchy and major body heat lol After a small nap everything was better. Having the itches in hot weather is no fun. I started the 4th of July sale half a day early yesterday. The amount of support for my shop is amazing. I feel so blessed. My favorite is when I am packing orders and people leave sweet messages. I honestly just get so overwhelmed with emotions lol I can't believe people like my shop. I am so grateful.

 Today I had tacos for lunch, and grabbed some nice iced coffee with Mama before she went out to celebrate 4th of July with everyone. I plan on staying home and watching a lot of thrifting videos and home decor stuff. I really want to re do my room. For the past couple of years I have just been in pure pastel mode. I still love pastel everything, but my taste in home decor is changing. Before I just decorated my room as pink and girly as I wanted because once I start to live with my boyfriend, I don't think  he's going to want to live in a pastel paradise 😂 Lately I have been loving plants, and the color yellow. Especially mustard yellow. I think my taste is headed towards boho vibes. Don't get me wrong I still want pastel everything for my planners and accessories, but home decor wise I am starting to fall in love with boho/thrifty stuff. I haven't had the time to go check out thrift shops and I also want to go to ikea, but once I do I'll post pics of before and after. One day it will happen! Maybe I'll still keep it a little girly. Boho girly. I like that.

Small stationery haul. I got these cute little notepads off of Aliexpress. I bought an extra one for my friend. I feel so bad. I have been keeping their happymail hostage. I am the worst penpal. I need to definitely make a note and send everything out soon. I also got  a Slurpuff pokemon card. I will always embrace my inner child no matter what age I am haha. I got it for my planner. Such a cute pokemon, and it's pink. I wanted it lol. Here are some random pics of my little haul and my super cluttered nightstand.




hello my blogger my old friend

I cannot tell you how much I have missed having a blog! Oh wait, I should introduce myself to whoever is reading this (even if it's no one). Hi my name is Seriya. People always ask me how to pronounce my name and the best way I can describe it is Seriya sounds like Maria. Sir-reeh-yuh 😊 I have always had a little spot on the internet just talking about my day, posting random pictures of my food, shopping adventures and etc. I ended up locking my old blog from about a year and a half ago. Last year my shop got crazy busy and I wasn't able to keep up with blogging, also I was going through all my old entries and noticed that I was more sad then I was happy. I tend to just post my feelings and what is bothering me at the time. I didn't really want to keep all of that out in public so I ended up locking that blog and will keep it for therapeutic purposes later on in life lol (like when I need to kick my own ass and read about how much stronger I am now)

I am much much much happier now. I had a string of things that had happened over in the last blog which had caused all those sad posts. From my own health problems (I'm ok now!), long distance relationship woes (lol we are going on 8 years strong), trying to make everyone happy (this is impossible), my sister having liver failure and is now on dialysis for the rest of her life,  just so much stress. Everything felt like it was crashing and so every post was just so... sad LOL. I know not every post here is going to be happy sappy, but a fresh new start is always great. I don't have a theme for this blog like reviewing stuff, or diy-ing or anything. This is just going to be my diary. I don't open up to people very much (curls into a small ball), but if you would like to get to know me, this is a good place to start 😄

Time for me to get my shop ready for the 4th of July sale. I really wanted to have it on the 4th but I have noticed people have started shopping early today and I know how it feels to buy something the day before and then a sale starts the next day and I am just like "whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" *shakes fist in the air*  so I want to get everything done as soon as possible! Then back to packing orders and watching netflix lol

I now leave you with a picture of this cute pudding I had last month.
