D is for Dance

It's rhythmic, flowing and beautiful, its dance. Dance can be described in many different ways but I like dance for the free expression, and the ability to be precise and flexible. People say that dance isn't a sport because their is no objective, but your objective is to be on time, precise, make every move the same as the other person. I like to think of dancing as a blooming flower, it's ever evolving, and changing, almost always perfect and exquisite. No flower is the same, but they can look almost completely alike, that is the same as in dance.

There are so many different types of dance from the usually Jazz and Ballet, to amazing traditional Chinese dances or Disco. The reason why most people don't think dance is a sport is also because it is not in the Olympics, hence people not truly feeling how it could be a sport. But since there are so many different kinds of dance, it would be extremely difficult for the judges to deliberate and it would take very long to get through all of the dances.

Dancing is also an extremely physical sport, you almost always work up a sweat. Usually if you go the whole dance class without a water bottle you would feel extremely light headed at the end of the class. I do 4 different types of dance: comp Jazz, Lyrical, Tap, and ballet. I love them all, Jazz for your extreme precision, stretching as far as possible and losing yourself in the song. Lyrical for its slow, alluring movements, and the ability to be free and let go. I like Tap for the constant claps of your tap shoes on the hard wood, the ability to make your feet make the loudest noises. And of course I enjoy ballet for the order, and the gracefulness.

But finally what I really have a passion for in dance is the costumes (of course). The bright coral pinks, jade greens, fiery reds, robins egg blue, almost any color you could imagine. The bright dazzling sequins that just makes you glow under the spotlight, and the big puffy skirts, short shorts, and dresses, just make me feel happy to dress up and get into the music. But that is really what dance is about, crazy costumes, losing yourself in the music, letting go, being precise, and on time.

LIFE LESSON: Dance is a beautiful ever flowing, ever evolving sport

S is for Showers

Come back from a grueling soccer practice dirty and sweaty. Walking inside you leaving a trail of dirt in your wake only 1 thing on your mind SHOWER TIME. Sprinting upstairs taking the steps 2 at a time fling open the bathroom door and bolt it shut. Its you and the shower now... STRIP, jump in and crank up the heat.

I am bombarded with the sprinkling mist and the fruity botanical's that are released into the air from my Aveda shampoo bottles. I am sopping wet now and reach for my bottle of no-frizz, extra glossy shampoo and lather up to make a mountain of fresh grapefruit smelling bubbles, rinse and repeat. My luscious locks are begging for more so I pop open my refreshing crispy apple conditioner, and lather up. instantly my hair feels silky smooth and I flip my hair like a Herbal Essences commercial. The waters beating down on me now like a waterfall and I feel at peace. Finally I make a grab for my olive green Avocado body scrub and bright blue loofah and I start to scrub. The luxurious cream runs down my skin and makes me feel renewed and refreshed. The humid, steamy, and moistened air starts to get to me and I surrender completely. Finally after my hands turn wrinklier than a pugs face, I angrily, get out.

The second that I step out of the heavenly shower, the suns rays beam through the window making my body glow and my hair sparkle like a thousand diamonds, I feel at peace. I run a comb through my hair, no need to though, my hair is already sleek and glossy from my crisp apple Aveda shampoo. I stare longingly at the huge shower equipped with extra jets, 3 types of body scrubs, multiple shampoos, conditioner's, and extra high pressure. Sigh if only i could spend a few more minutes in heaven, put more shampoo in my already lustrous hair, but I must resist. I need to return to the real world and not live my life in a shower.

LIFE LESSON: Stay Clean!

b is for books

I am running through the tropical rainforest, now I am shopping on 5th avenue New York, New York. Books can open up a whole new world to you from, fiction to non fiction, romance to horror, people say that they would rather watch movies because its real life. But movies can never explain and have nearly as much detail as a book. "Books are the juice of the mind" ~Anonymous. As anonymous has pointed out you can think better after you read books. It refreshes my mind and makes us open up to whole different world that no one new existed. 

One of my favorite books are the Huger Games and Catching Fire. "The sheer fabric softly glows. I give the illusion of wearing candlelight." is a passage from the hunger games. This is after Katniss wins the games and is put in a beautiful glowing dress. This book is one of my favorites because it is what America is like in the future. It is a horrible place were there are 12 districts and a Capitol, a long time ago in the book there was an uprising in what the country is called Panem. The Capitol and the districts killed and fought viciously, but the capitol won the war and made up the hunger games. Were 24 children are put into an arena and forced to kill each other. The last person standing wins. This book shows me what could happen in the future and how horrible things could become. This book explains so much I could always get bright vivid pictures in my head.

Another one of my favorite things about books is it can take you on adventures. Small passages can make your mind open up and really see a picture in your head. Here is an example, "As she laid down on the soft sand Lucy looked up at the sky. It was painted with beautiful colors, Rosy pinks, fiery reds, canary yellows, cantalope oranges, and shimmering golds. The water crept up and licked her toes, the cold felt nice. She closed her eyes finally feeling at bliss in this cold, hard world, and willing herself to take one last breath. This passage made me feel at bliss even thought that girl was ding she saw one last sunset before her last breath.

I love books and read them way to much, when i was in New Zealand for 3 weeks I read 9 books. Whenever I go to sleep I have to read at least a little bit of a book or else I can't fall asleep. But usually on those night I get lost in my books. I look at the time and it says 9:30 so I think just read until 10:00 I look at the clock after reading and its 10:49!? I always lose track of time while reading. I guess i'm just a readaholic! 

Life Lesson: Don't judge a Book by its cover!

T is for Travel

Its fabulous, fun, adventurous, different, hard to understand, fast talking, Different culture, Yes of course i am talking about Travel. I love to travel, I have been Traveling since i was a baby I've been from Paris France to New York-New York, from Rome Italy, to Shanghi China. But what i am talking about in this blog is some of the most delicious and breath taking moments that i have ever had on vacation.

One of my Favorite things about traveling is different scenery. A couple of years ago I went to Italy on a yacht that my parents friends own, and we were watching the sunset, nice rosy pinks and peaches, brilliant reds reflected in the water below us, like a mirroir. Right before the sun disappeared all together, when it just touched the horizon the was a bright flash of emerald green and than the sun was compeletly gone. It was so gorgeous I will never forget it, it was one of those moments that was completley unexpected but fantastic, magical! It was Serendipitous!

Another adventure i had that was delicious was on vacation in Japan.  One moment that i won't forget was in Tokyo. My mom and I went to a tempanyaki restaurante which is a restaurante that cooks the food in front of you On a huge stove, and everyone at the table gets to see how it is made. The restaurant was 68 stories up in this building so you could see all of Tokyo's bright twinkling lights. For dinner we had the most delicious food I have ever tried in my life it was appetizing, succulant delicious and so so much more. For first course we had Abalone which Is like muscles accept a lot much better. It was grilled on the giant stove, Once it was done it ws served in a warm butter sauce and pesto. I thought it was the only food that had so much tast it was tender and warm, and it felt like it just melted on your tongue, but the my next course was even better! My next course was lobster cooked, again, right in front of you. Usually lobsters taste kind of dry, but this one was delicious and flavor filled. It was warm and heavanly the insides were tender and juicy. It just slid down my throut, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. But the best was yet to come, finally our chef served us the most delicious food i have ever tried. It was a slab of kobe beef, it was so delicious cooked in a warm beef sauce. It was so soft and tender it was like cutting butter. It was so flavor it just exploded your tastebuds i just couldn't get enough! It was finger linking, lip smacking, melt in your mouth meat that was so scrumptious. I stole half of my moms just trying to eat some more!

I love going on vacation because it is always a new adventure! You never know whats going to happen. Like in the brilliant words that Forest Gump said "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get".

LIFE LESSON: Vacation is scrumptious, surprising, breathtaking, and moments you will never forget

F is for FASHION!

Fashion, definition: a popular trend...

Fashion is love, life, hobby, hatred, and many more definitions than just trend, ahem booooorrriiing, whoever wrote the dictionary has an extremely boring life, like hello who would want to sit in a boring cubicle all day writing about definitions. But whatever it his life, anyway I'm writing this blog about the fabulous world of fashion.
there are sooo many big time designers that I'm just gonna tell you about half of them: Dolce and Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, DKNY, Gucci, Coach, Jimmy Choo, Marc Jacobs, Miu Miu, Juicy Couture, Prada, Chanel,Dior, Ralph Lauren, BCBG, Balenciaga, Manolo Blahnick, Alexander McQueen, Stella Mcartney, Michael Kors, Chloe, Diane Von Furtensburg, Estee Lauder, Armani, Yves Saint Laurent, Versace, Steve Madden, Pucci, Betsy Johnston, LAMB, Burberry, Vera Wang, and so many more my blog would be like thirty pages long if i wrote about it.
My favorite designer that i actually wear is Juicy Couture, because it has great stuff that lasts a long time and is sooo gorgeous. My idol is Coco Chanel the inventor of Chanel here is chanel 101

• Real name is Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel
• Known for Chanel Suit, Chanel jacket and Chanel no 5
• Grew up in France
• Dad abandoned her and her sister to go to the USA
• lived in an orphanage

Designer stuff is very expensive, which is an issue for fashion lovers! One day I bought a black and white hounds tooth scarf for $30 I went to a different store and found the exact same scarf in the exact same material and it was $125! That's crazy and I was so glad that I found my scarf for only $30. Designer stuff is almost addicting sometimes, just look at the movie "Confessions of a Shopaholic". Rebbecca Bloomwood is an obsessive shopper and thinks designer clothes is her life. Rebbecca can't help but buy new clothes because she thinks she needs it but, really she is actually thousands of dollars in debt. In the end Rebbecca realizes that there is more to life than just shopping.
LIFE LESSON: Designer clothes is to be enjoyed in moderation if you get to much you go a lot into debt like Rebbecca Bloomwood.
