About

Hello! I'm Michelle. (See, that's me below there!)

About me.

I'm Vietnamese.

I think honesty in friendship is most important.

I think honesty in general is most important.

Respect is second in line.

My feet are pretty cute, they've taken a beating, but they're still fiiiine.

I think Joseph Gordon Levitt and James Franco are just the bee's knees.

When it's raining, you can find me joyously running through it.

You will find me constantly eating. 

I daydream constantly of travel.

Sloths are my spirit animal... you know, if I believed in spirit animals.
Plane rides make me happy, cause then I know that adventure is just around the bend.

I wish I could afford everything at Madewell.

I want to be Martha Stewart (not in the commit fraud kind of way, but the fabulous homemaker-baker-entrepreneur kind of way).

I love wearing black.

I'm highly attracted to people who enjoy food as much as I do. 

I use a mac and will never, ever go back.

I literally never stress... ever.
Hiking is my favorite pastime.

I'm absolutely enamored with tea.

Love is confusing with people, it's easy with inanimate things.

Except family, with them, my love is endless and enduring.

I've never broken a bone nor gotten a stitch.

I live for cold weather, although I only do well in temperate weather.

Writing lists helps me keep sane.

I like to people watch (in a non-creepy way).

I try to keep an open mind as much as possible.

The trick is to live without an answer, I think...

Sparklers, intense laughs, and a cold beer make me happy.

My favorite TV show is Law and Order: SVU. This either makes me deranged or super cool... I haven't decided.

I have a baby blanket, it's slowly coming apart; this makes me very sad.

I am weird, but that's okay by me.

About this blog.

I used to think baking meant buying a box of Funfetti cake mix, and though I still do love my Funfetti, baking is something entirely different to me now (for the better of course)! While this blog is mainly focused on my cooking and baking, it also has a little bit of fashion, art, photography, music, and love thrown in, all for good measure of course (and maybe a little bit for my own pleasure too).

About the photos.

I shoot with a Canon EOS 30D, equipped with a 50mm f 1.8 lens (basically the only one I could afford at the moment), now concurrently with a 35mm f 2.0. Don't be fooled by it's low price though! This lens takes absolutely amazing pictures in low light and is great for portraits or food photography. I love my camera immensely, perhaps with more love than an inanimate object should receive. I bought this camera with my hard earned money. Yes, it was quite expensive, but I like to think of it as an investment, and it sure has served me well. I hope you do wander and stay a while!
