I Pledge Allegiance to the Flag!

I have had such a busy week, and it’s still not over! It’s been university and events galore! Wednesday was awesome! I became American again haha! I spent my day having lunch with a group of Americans here in the U.K. for spring break, and the evening with them line dancing!! That was an experience. Haha. I’ve posted photos of my ‘peppers’ inspired outfit and photos from the dance. It took place in a warehouse with was cool. It felt like we found an abandoned space and just went wild. We did a ‘harlem shake’ video! You should have seen my excitement! Since I've been seeing them- I’ve wanted to do one. We’re young, wild and free!! Seriously, I just met these wonderful, God-fearing people this week and feel like I have known them for a while. Thank God we met- and thank God for facebook haha!! Safe journey home dudes and much love!!

Regarding my outfit, I think I literally just threw it together. Have you got pants in your wardrobe that you couldn’t wear because you gained weight (because you spent a year in the States eating at every restaurant that caught your eye!!!!!!) and then lost weight and they fitted again??! Well these red pants are it for me! I was so happy when they went up- it proved that my hard work and determination in the gym is showing results! If you are not happy about something-change it!

Below are the pictures of the ‘hoe down’!! It was so much fun learning traditional South Carolina line dancing and just simply spending my night with Americans who are here to experience the British culture.  In turn, I got to experience the American culture all over again.

F.Y.I. This guy knows how to TWERK!! He taught me!! Haha.

My awesome American friends! I miss you guys!! Y'all are awesome! 

Flashback Friday!!

I was given the fantastic opportunity to study in China at East China Normal University for  summer school last year. I had the most amazing, remember able time out there, exploring Beijing, Shanghai and other incredible towns. Experiencing such a vivid culture first hand was just awesome- from the food to the people, I loved every minute of it! (even if I fell asleep in Chinese Politics occasionally, I still appreciated every moment haha). And as you can tell from this picture, I loved the rain too!! The rain in China is different to what I am used to with British rain- I can wear flip flops in it! It’s a rain where it is still warm and not too unpleasant. But don’t get me wrong, when it rains, it pours!

This photo was taken after a really long day of visiting Confucius temple and spending the afternoon with our assigned Chinese families. My mate and I wanted to walk through the buzzing streets despite the rain, and we were a little peckish- so we got ice creams! It was delicious, even with the added flavor!

Have you been to China? How was it for you?

Year '22' Begins...

F.Y.I: This is a photo heavy post! Enjoy! :D

I taste good! Haha!

My beautiful, stylish mother and I.

Thanks for the awesome food chefs!

LOVE all the presents I received! Thanks beauties!

MY AMAZING, BEST-OF-THE-BEST, GOOD ENOUGH TO BE A WEDDING CAKE, CAKE! Thanks mother, did an awesome job with the design!! And taste sooooo good <3

I had a lovely birthday yesterday! Very relaxed (well somewhat!). Turning 22 is not one of the big ‘milestones’ I say- next one for me is 25-nonetheless, I am thankful to God for allowing me to live to see my 22^nd birthday and for all the wonderful family and friends that were there to make my night! In my 21 years on this earth, I have been blessed to have done so many things around the world- from studying in California for a year, attending summer school in China and spending a month in the United Arab Emirates to perform for millions with my theatre company.  I am truly thankful to those that made things happen and look forward to my future adventures.

I celebrated my birthday with family and 10 awesome friends at ‘Kimchee’. A Korean restaurant located in Holborn, Central London. I can now say that I have fallen in love with the place-the food and the decor make it perfect. For a Wednesday night, the place was buzzing, but my guest and I were somewhat secluded from it all, which I loved- it felt we had a private suite haha. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough; I am looking forward to going back- you can get full on starters alone!

Like I said my day was somewhat relaxed as at the restaurant I was so hyper and excited. Pictures were just being taken left, right and center! No surprise haha. While editing through my pictures, I really wanted to limit the amount I put on my blog. I have, I guess, but obviously it’s still loads! Haha! If you want, you can check out my whole album on facebook.

Regarding my outfit, I don’t think I made time to take an ‘outfit shot’, sorry. I went for pastels and prints- which I love, separate and together. I received so many complements on my hair and outfit and I felt it was the right choice of wear for a 22^nd. Compared to my 20^th, where I wore a gown! Haha.

Have you been to ‘Kimchee’? What do you think of the restaurant? Hope you like the pictures!
