Home for the Holidays!

The SLC smog is killing me (literally I'm pretty sure) so it gave me the final push to go home for Xmas. I'm excited to be with friends and family, moms new dog Molly, my kitty Moka and to sleep in my own bed again. So Merry Christmas, or Miley Christmas, if you're into that ;).

It's beginning to look like Christmas!

It's finally snowing here in SLC and in thr mountains. I couldn't be more excited! When the ground is covered by a thick white blanket I can't stop taking pictures and dressing up in my warmest clothes. The trees are covered in Xmas decorations and not to mention snowboard season is in full swing.

Inspired

My favourite blogger Mariannan has been posting a lot lately, so I was inspired to make a post myself. I recently altered my H&M dress to be sleeveless, which I like much better. I try to dress up for this shop I work at because it's a cute little boutique with nice clothing, so I can't be looking like my regular snowboard bum self.

Film

Over the past few months I have been taking photos with my film cameras rather than my digital. I bought the cameras on eBay for under $30 and they are so much fun. Nothing has been developed yet so I'm not even sure if they work or not but I'm excited to see the results.

Weekend Surf Trip

After almost a month of no rain in Salt Lake, I couldn't handle the heat anymore. My roommate Corinne and I decided last minute to drive to the beach. A 9 hour drive got us to SoCal where although it doesn't rain there either, it is only 75 degrees rather than 100. It was Corinne's first time so we visited the Roxy HQ, Transworld and anything else I felt she needed to see. Visiting friends, surfing and eating tacos were the highlights. I could have done without the bad sunburn on my backside and the stab wound from a stingray, which was quiet possibly the worst feeling I have ever felt. The antibiotics I'm taking for my traumatic experience are keeping me indoors, so here are a few pictures from our days in Cali.

Missing Cali

It hasn't even been a year yet but I'm missing so many things from my Cali life. Surfing, Ocean, Roxy, Surfing. I'm spending my summer in Salt Lake City to go to school, Laguna beach is only about 10 hours away. I Can't wait to go back!
