about a month ago the boyfriend, a couple friends and i went to an event called the 1st annual graffiti throwdown. they had graffiti artists, a couple djs, finger painting and a band. the artist were tagging a huge wall and they also had a couple "graffiti models" that were getting painted throughout the night. it was very different and very fun. it was held at a bar/hookah lounge called The Bar in downtown st pete, they had a huge courtyard behind the bar where most of the music/painting was held. i was so glad we had the bar to go into because at one point in the night it got so hot out that we needed to go inside! we hung out indoors for about an hour and shared a vanilla flavored hookah. cant wait for the 2nd throwdown for sure!

food lovin: avocado toast

these photos make we want to eat avocado toast everyday! delish









































here is a new easy and delicious meal i found... egyptian edamame stew with whole wheat couscous....














ohh my goodness its so so good!

i work two jobs and dont get home till 8 on some nights so i like to find easy yummy recipes to throw together so im not eating dinner at 10 at night. which im not gonna lie happens way too often!

so you take one small white onion and 2 small squash cut into small chunks and sauté till tender. add 2tsp garlic, 2tsp cumin, 1tsp coriander and cayenne pepper to taste. then add one 28oz can of diced tomatoes. stir together and let simmer for about 5 minutes. right before serving stir in a thawed bag of frozen edamame and viola its done! serve over couscous!

i cant wait to make this again! the recipe i used is here. now after rereading this recipe i just realized i forgot about the cilantro and lemon juice! oops, ill have to add that next time. hey, i was in a hurry cause burn notice was on! i cant miss burn notice! i love that show way too much!

ohh my goodness i am such a slacker! i just realized its been almost a month since i last blogged! i feel like i am so busy all the time but i really dont feel like i get much accomplished! haha

 i still dont have much to say for the time being... im still in rush mode but ive been on and off again about getting my septum pierced and i cant decide if i should do it or not. i think im just kinda nervous about how much it would hurt! what do you think?

 i talked to the boyfriend about it, he didnt seem too thrilled that i was thinking about getting it done and the sister says "grow up" she says im too old for that! ehh whatever sister ill always be young at heart... and p.s. i am not even close to being old... i turn 28 next month. im thinking about getting done for the bday
