Getty Yeti

Bonjour, mes amis!

It's a splendid day today- perfect for spending it at a museum, a park, the zoo, or anywhere to your heart's content. Go, be free, you wonderful explorers!

It makes sense to share some photos from my visit to the Getty Museum not too long ago. I'm such a sucker for museums and inspiring places in general. My family and I held my stepdad's birthday celebration there. We reserved two tables at the Getty restaurant for a grand lunch with family and friends, and received custom menus with his name on each one. It was pretty rad. We then spent the rest of the day walking around the ever so aesthetically pleasing museum.

Nerd Alert: I was super stoked that we were able to catch the Italian Renaissance exhibition that was only going on for three months. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take photos in the exhibition. SO NOT FETCH.

Hope this tickles your frontal lobes' fancy!

I'm also a sucker for architectural beauties.

Look ma, I went to Florence! What a gorgeous city. This is obviously NOT a photo of a photo...pfft...I did a pretty darn good job of editing it though. Is this considered plagiarism? Um. I give all credit to the Getty. But in all seriousness, Italy has always been on my travel wish list. Le sigh, one day...a gal can dream.

How sick are these clocks?

So me being the innovative person I am (diva hair flip), I unintentionally started a game of coin toss with this huge maze- like island. I just wanted to see if I could toss a penny into the very center of it, and my sister and cousin decided to join in. We were each able to reach right outside the center donut! Talk about a tease. After many, many attempts (our family is quite the tenacious one), spectators started joining in on our game. Not to toot my own horn, but *toot toot*. We also sparked up a conversation about what the difference between a maze and a labyrinth is. I always enjoy learning random facts. I think we decided this was neither. 

I was able to get in a quick outfit photo (the tie was supposed to be a bow, but it fell apart):

If you have access to the LA area and have never been to the Getty (link), I highly suggest you check it out. Only if you want to be with the cool kids, you know. Among many other wonders, life is also about continuous learning and being exposed to beautiful, inspiring assets. 

A whole new week is ahead of us- let's kick some ass! Be positive, be strong, and believe in yourselves.

Bonjour, mes amis!

Today is the perfect date. April 25th. Because it's not too hot and not too cold. All you need is a light jacket. 
-Miss Congeniality

My outfit from this past photoshoot doesn't do justice to today's weather. It's almost like winter wear. I've been digging stripes, denim, and olive lately. So I thought, why not put it all together?

Combat boots are my staple shoes no matter the season.

P.S. I just adore cacti.

Bonjour, mes amis!

And so the journey of Muse Warrior begins! I would like to formally introduce the little rascal to the world, because I’m a proud mama. But also because I’m a polite kid, I swear. What can I say- it’s in my blood. After all these months of brewing in my brain, the concept is finally born and ready to spread positive vibes and peanut butter.

Muse Warrior is a lifestyle blog created to share inspiration from the artistic and cultural spectrum, including fashion, beauty, music, photography, film, food, travel, and creative projects. The name is inspired by my fascination with Greek mythology and European history, as well as my affinity for the connotations behind each word. But before I start talking nerdy to you, you need to at least buy me a drink and work your charm.

So without getting down to the nitty- gritty details, I’d like to share why I dig the words so much. A muse is a source of inspiration for an artist. Because of its mythological roots, there’s a type of poise and power that come along with it. Being inspired and inspiring others in all kinds of ways is just so magnificent. A warrior is a brave fighter. I am forever inspired by Wonder Woman, Xena, and Joan of Arc (just to name a few) to lead a life of strength, courage, and confidence. Fine, plus a little inspiration from World of Warcraft…

Muse Warrior is all about being tenacious in your endeavors and living a positive, eclectic life. It aims to be a safe haven for all the fearless, independent & passionate dreamers.  

I hope you join me on this daring and inspirational adventure.

 Xoxo
