MONDAY MIXER: APRIL 2013

It's time for another Monday Mixer!

So what exactly do I mean? Here's a quick definition: Mixer /ˈmiksər/ n. An informal party arranged to give people an opportunity to get acquainted.

How it works: I will list off several random things and you can feel free to respond with comments on how you can/cannot relate or maybe even with your own random Monday list!  Let's do this!

This time around I am using these list (1/2) from Darling Magazine's March instagram photo challenge as inspiration for my random facts. Alright, here we go!


This might seem a bit obvious, but the most restful place for me is my own bed.  I was just thinking the other night how much I'm thankful for my mattress and pillow.  I know that not everyone can say that.

My favorite tool in the kitchen is my red KitchenAid mixer.  I don't use it everyday but it works great and it sure looks pretty on my counter! :)

My favorite word is grace.

A must read: right now I am really interested in The Valley of Vision: A Collection of Puritan Prayers and Devotions.  I've only read a few of the prayers so far but I've decided that this is definitely a must read.

The most used item in my bag is my chapstick.  I can't live without it!

Blast from the past: This recent post by my friend and fellow photographer Ryan Greenleaf about being a 90's kid through and through.  It brought back so many memories from my childhood!

Something new that I've recently done for the first time is the twist braid hairdo!  Haha, I used the fabulous hair tutorial I shared with you all last Friday :)

A moment that took me by surprise is when Kurt asked me to be his girlfriend 5 years ago.  I had liked him for months and had no clue about whether he was interested in me at all.  Best surprise ever!

On the shelf in my living room are books and photo frames with pictures of family and friends.

Today I am grateful.

My most worn t-shirt is a basic white v-neck. It may be time to retire it, but it's so soft and comfy and I just can't seem to part with it!

My favorite feel good movies are anything by Pixar!  I find that they are always so clever, heartfelt, poignant, and hilarious, all in one film.  Pure genius!

Something that always reminds me of my mom is the smell of this Bath and Body Works lotion.

The best time of the day is sunrise and sunset because that means there's lots of pretty light!

My workplace is best described as anywhere my camera takes me!

A quote that made an impact on me: "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" -Jesus

IT'S ANOTHER MONDAY MIXER!

It's time for another Monday Mixer!

So what exactly do I mean? Here's a quick definition: Mixer /ˈmiksər/ n. An informal party arranged to give people an opportunity to get acquainted.

How it works: I will list off several random things and you can feel free to respond with comments on how you can/cannot relate or maybe even with your own random Monday list!  Let's do this!




My fingers are double-jointed. 

I am in love with white furniture. It's so chic.

I am the only person in my family who does not drink coffee... even my two-year-old nephew loves it!

My latest obsession is Seinfeld. I find it hilarious and entertaining.

I crave chocolate daily.

I'm slowly learning that less is more and small is the new big.

I finished my Christmas shopping early this year. *High-five myself*

Today is my half-birthday!  Meaning it's exactly 6 months until my actual birthday... Yay!

I believe in the power of prayer.

Mexican food can solve all problems.  It does for me anyway.

My husband amazes me daily with his incredible patience for me.

Brrr! I hate being cold. Bring on the warm sunshine!

Adoption is still a growing passion in my heart. One day, Lord-willing.

I (heart) scarves. Functional fashion!

We now have a television. And it's awesome.

I LOVE getting emails from people interested in photo shoots (yasmin@yasminsarai.com) and bringing beautiful ideas to life. Fun stuff!

A TOTALLY RANDOM MONDAY MIXER

Hello there friends! Today on Promise Tangeman's blog, she shared dozens of random facts about herself. She asked her readers to do the same and since I haven't posted a blog yet today I figured I'd join the fun with what I'd like a call a Monday Mixer!

So what exactly do I mean? Here's a quick definition: Mixer /ˈmiksər/ n. An informal party arranged to give people an opportunity to get acquainted.

Hopefully this will be a regular installment on the blog... you know, to help us get acquainted! ;) I will list off several random things and you can feel free to respond with comments on how you can/cannot relate or maybe even with your own random Monday list! Well, here we go!


I am CONSTANTLY chewing gum. I'm convinced it helps me focus.

I have an entire drawer dedicated to sunglasses.

I must watch movies with the subtitles ON.

I am OBSESSED with making to do lists. My desk is covered in them.

I talk on the phone to my two-year-old nephew everyday. We have some pretty deep conversations.

I was voted Most Likely to Succeed in high school.

It only takes 1-2 times of hearing a song for me to memorize the lyrics.

My idea of therapy is walking around in Pier 1 or World Market with my sister during Christmas time.

I LOVE getting mail.

I make New Year's resolutions, even if I know I won't keep them.

I sometimes call Kurt's name from another room just to hear him respond.

I carry gold coins in my purse because it makes me feel like a pirate.

I think I want to adopt children some day.

I don't count calories because I honestly have no clue what they really even mean.

We currently do not own a television.

My favorite place to shop is my sister's closet because it's FREE!

Haha... alrighty, well I hope that was at least mildly entertaining! Feel free to post your own randomness in the comments! Happy Monday to you!
