This was my first time at this restaurant and will not be my last; this is one of the best sushi places I have ever eaten at.  If you are in the area I definitely recommend checking this place out.

This has now become one of my favorite places when I am out in Hollywood and need a late bite to eat.

Find Simplicity

In a world where life never calms down, it is nice to remember to find simplicity and be content with the little things in your life.  The little things are what you will remember as the days pass you by.  While this weekend was not relaxing and was a very busy weekend, I still had a great time catching up and baking with my girlfriends, as well as celebrating the birthdays of two friends with sushi dinner and some delicious drinks.

Hope all of you have a great week.

PS Cupcakes and baking posts soon to follow this week.

Week of Photos Wednesday

Once again life gets in the way sometimes, okay who am I kidding... all of the time.  Here are some of my favorite pictures from this past week: they include my daily photo challenge as well as any fun I felt like capturing along the way.

{Boneyard  - Chili Donuts}
Which were amazing even though they sound disgusting, we had already eaten dinner and this was a late evening snack.  I cannot wait to go back and enjoy dinner here with all the BBQ I can eat.


{Margarita after a long hike in Malibu @ Cafe Habana}


{Malibu Sunset}
 Since we decided to spend the day hiking and enjoying margaritas... we also decided to take in the sunset which was absolutely breath taking.


{Cupcake Vodka}
I did a blog post awhile back about Cupcake Wine, well this past weekend i recently found out that they now make vodka.  The vodka is a good mixing vodka but Effen and Grey Goose are still my favorites to drink on the rocks with a lime and a splash of soda water.

{Life}
Cut into my grapefruit the other morning and there was a tree growing inside.

TOMS - Ballet Flats

The company TOMS is always looking for new and innovated ways to keep their customers coming back for more.  As if already knowing that for every pair you buy, a pair is donated to someone in need wasn't enough.  They just introduced their new line of BALLET FLATS, which are absolutely adorable and plan to order my first pair very soon.

Creativity & 33 Ways to Stay Creative

Creativity comes in waves, I think it is safe to say we have all experienced those sporadic sparks of new ideas and then there is a time when there is nothing to make, nothing to alter, or nothing to influence.  For someone who loves being creative when you hit those rough spots, it can be a hard place to sit and wait it out.  I came across this list of 33 Ways to Stay Creative, which I found to be extremely helpful when you feel as though you are lacking that creative spark or just when you don't know what's next. 

Our daily photo challenge has really sparked my creativity and I am challenged everyday to produce pictures and images that represent one single word each day.  I like to call it my creative homework.  Not only does it help to make my photography better but it also motivates me to always be looking for something more in the images that I see around me.

Tomorrow I will share with you the rest of the pictures from this month photography challenge.  I get my new list of challenges for the month of February tonight and I am excited to see what my creative homework will be for the next month.

Friday Favorite's - Apology & Photo Challenge

Life takes some unexpected turns sometimes, between the holidays and helping to take care of loved one I have literally had no time to myself (aka my blog).  This blog is the one thing that I do for myself to relax and unwind. 

This past month, some friends of mine have been doing a daily photography challenge.  While sometimes this can be rather time consuming, it has been a rather fun way for all of us to interact with each other and see just how creative one can get.  So with that said my Friday Favorites have to do with this photography challenge, here are a couple of my favorites so far this month.  To see all of them for the month you can follow me on Instagram - tiffers321

Hope all of you have a safe and relaxing weekend, go out and enjoy this beautiful LA weather, which makes you feel like Easter should be right around the corner.

{Day 9 - Up}

{Day 10 - Water}

{Day 11 - Hidden}

{Day 12 - Nature}
