Thankful Thursday

Happy Thursday, y’all!

It’s been a hell of a week – recovering from a cold, new hire orientation at work, and evening activities have filled up my schedule making Aimee-time a little nonexistent.

However, there have been SO many good things this week that I can’t help but share:

• Fresh flowers for my roomie Ali
• Calligraphy class thanks to the amazing PicsArt team!
• Delicious, home-cooked food from Canela and EatWith
• Seeing Neil Degrasse Tyson tonight!!!
• Morning photoshoot and coffee sessions with Tory and Andi
• Catching up with roommates after a long day
• Meeting new colleagues at work through new-hire orientation
• So many new outfit photos coming to the blog this month!
• Planning spontaneous trips – like I did last night to Seattle!
• Creating killer content with my colleagues
• The first sip of mint tea in the morning
• Going to bed at 10 p.m. on a week night
• Not wearing any makeup
• Finding my new favorite workout studio – SALT

Hi Everyone!

So, I thought i’d get back to a little Thankful Thursday post since I think they do the soul good. Lately, i’ve been doing a lot of thinking so I think these lists help me digest my thoughts. So, without further adieu, here’s what i’ve been grateful for lately:

• Exciting new projects at work
• Seeing my all-time favorite band Trails & Ways in Oakland last week!
• Evening walks from SOMA to Pacific Heights and capturing shots like this one above
• Trying out my first ever juice cleans (y’all, it was a day but I have so much love for Project Juice!)
• Sending pick me up notes to people having a rough day
• Getting an amazing BART worker’s name and writing to SF MTA about how fantastic and helpful he was!
• Trying out Class Pass for the first time and finding workouts like Pilates that make me feel amazing afterwards!
• Spending all day Sunday with my favorite people and extending the party until the evening
• Finally getting my Printsagram that I can’t wait to put in my room!
• Doing nothing (and I mean nothing!) on a Monday night and being in bed by 10 p.m.
• Celebrating exciting events like San Francisco Fashion Week!

What are you thankful for?

Cheers!

Hi Everyone!

I did this awhile back, but I wanted to list out a few things i’m thankful for today:

• Co-workers who get shit done
• Weekend art and craft fairs in San Francisco
• Sitting down after a long day and that great big sigh that comes out after
• Exploring new neighborhoods and saying yes!
• Drinking 8 glasses of water a day
• A quiet meal with me, myself and I
• Supportive friends who empower you even over the phone
• Upcoming ladies weekend to Las Vegas!
• Bagels with lox
• Being inspired by all the crafts over the weekend!
• Walking to work
• Making new friends and being spontaneous

And as always, i’m thankful for nice people. I recently had a run-in a few days ago where someone was rather rude to me. Naturally, I became angry and annoyed. Then, of course…hurt. I began to wonder what I did to make someone act a certain way and how I could have helped the situation. As for me, i’m not one for confrontation but it is a great reminder to always treat people as you’d like to be treated. I hold this very near and dear to my heart. I can only imagine if the entire world upheld this mantra, we’d be in a better place.

With that said, be nice to someone! It may surprise them and make their day!

Cheers!
