It’s definitely been a while since I uploaded a youtube video. Please show me some love and “like” the video or leave me a comment on what kind of videos you’d like to see. I’m thinking about doing the “Colors of the Rainbow” tag for bargain items I purchased. It’s essentially a challenge to pick your favorite items in each color category (ROYGBIV). Seems fun! but am open to other suggestions.
What kind of blog posts/videos would you like me to publish?

Yesterday I went to my first Yelp Elite event for the summer at Yori Modern Japanese Restaurant in Brea, CA. The 8 course tasting menu was fit for a king, but until I figure out how to better navigate this system you’ll have to patiently wait for my next tantalizing post! But today I wanted to share with you what I took away from the event (aside from an enormous belly filled with yummy goodies)
Courtesy of Yelp OC, our SWAG (Stands for Stuff, We, All, Get) consisted of Yelp Tube Sock! What?!
Now, with the weather in SoCal ranging from the 90’s -100’s it may not be the opportune time to bust out these trendy fashion accessories. However, I cannot wait till I get the chance! Britney Spears school-girl anyone? lol
Tube sock for summer- fashion faux pas or trend setter?
XOXO

Last month I took a trip a cross the country with the hopes of uncovering some of life’s best kept secrets. There were butterflies in my stomach as I anxiously anticipated about what the adventure would bring, but was optimistic about the journey. And while I did hit a few bumps (actually it was more like hitting cement walls) in the road before arriving, I was completely shocked by my destination. Definitely not how I envisioned it. Actually, it was the exact opposite!
I felt completely crushed, broken, robbed, cheated. The feelings of vulnerability and helplessness just consumed me. This was not how the story was not suppose to end! How could this happen to me? Why?! Can I fix it? Please God, will you please make things right? But alas, the destination I wanted so desperately was not what God had in mind. God has something bigger and greater than I can imagine, though I still don’t know what that looks like. I know that God has blessed me immensely and that I am highly favored. Everything happens for a reason and only in our broken-ness God can make things perfect.
So that brings me here. A new journey with fresh beginnings and a new Blog.
But like trying anything for the first time, I feel anxious and worried. I want to retreat back to what’s comfortable and what I know! But taking the next step with God’s grace is scary but necessary to move-on. It will take some time to adjust to the new format, but I welcome you all to my new blog! I will still share with you my adventures for fabulous frugal living and my passion for food, photography, travel, fashion, Jesus. If you’d like to see my work from my previous blog, check it out here (www.yubargainrockstar.blogspot.com). I won’t forget the past and while my direction forward is taking a slight detour, I pray that I will grow and that you will join me on my new adventure. Add your email on the side bar to get the latest updates!
