Dream House Anyone?

I was thinking about what my dream house might look like after reading many posts from Smile and Wave and her moving experiences over the past few weeks. So I decided to go searching for some houses that would be…well dreamy. I found an interesting  interior design and architecture web-site called Fresh Home, perfect for home styling inspiration. So without further ado my dream home…

I love this view of the kitchen.. it is so bright and full of color!

100 Layer Cake Giveaway

Last year during my final exams (right before Christmas) I won a giveaway from the blog and wedding company 100 Layer Cake. I cannot tell you how excited I was when I received Jillian’s email that read, “Hi Rachel, I’m beyond thrilled to announce you’re the winner of our holiday giveaway!” It happened on the last day of finals and after a long week of study, I was thrilled. Anyway, because I am presently living here in Tianjin, I had all of the gifts sent to my grandparents house in Texas, who would then send it to me… AND ITS FINALLY HERE! I opened the package at around 11:00 pm last night and then snapped some photos this morning.

Rachel and Jessie at MUN

Delegateaward

Rachel and Jessie participated in their spring MUN Conference in QingDao, China in early March. Jessie was given a position in the Security Council where she represented the USA – one of the P5 Nations with veto-wielding power. She had a very successful conference, getting lots of opportunity for public speaking and debate. Rachel, as a delegate of Iran, in the General Assembly was the main submitter of a resolution pertaining to counter terrorism and human rights, which passed in her committee! At the closing ceremonies of the conference, I was so proud to see that both Rachel and Jessie were named Best Delegates in their respective committees, along with another one of their classmates.

I’m Lovin’… Mod Cloth

I seem to always hear about Mod Cloth while reading other blogs but I never have taken the time to look around on their web cite till today and I figured out that I am totally loving Mod Cloth! The clothes are too cute and their decor is creative! I decided to pick out just a few Items that I thought were gorgeous to share with y’all today… I love the pink and turquoise mix of everything, those colors seem to match well together :]
