Inspired by the exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum, this year's theme is "China: Through the Looking Glass." So many famous faces showed up for this glamorous event! I love this gala because it's where two art forms collide. Seeing the red carpet photos, some dresses were underwhelming (C'mon guys! It's the Met Gala! Not the Academy Awards!), while some were just spot on. There is such beauty in seeing artistry in the form of a gown. So keeping the theme in mind, here's my favorites from the night!

Yesterday I posted this pretty flower on Instagram.


I was going on a run in a residential area near my work and I saw this and just had stop and appreciate it for all its beauty. So small but yet so beautiful. The way the light accentuates the colors of the petals, it didn't need a filter. It was gorgeous all on its own. This flower reminded me to appreciate the little things. To always be grateful.

Last week I was in such a mental rut. My brain was just wired for negativity and it wasn't helping me be the best version I can be. I only worked out twice (which is not a lot) and was not eating healthy (which may have contributed to my negativity. ugh, the vicious cycle). I was just in a bad place.

Over the weekend, when I was alone, I had a huge breakdown. Monumental. I'll spare you the details because I can't even talk about how bad it really was. Let's just say... I didn't cry. I wailed. Yeah, that horrible.

Lately, I've been finding the loveliest recipes online. I've pinned them all on Pinterest or I started following their blog, but I wanted to share their recipes because it's awesome! Here's all the goods I've been dying to try to make:
