The Magic of Disney

There is something magical about walking under the first arch in Disneyland. When I walk through I can't help but look up and read "Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy". Seriously, I look at it every single time I walk into the park. It is something about Disneyland that makes me feel at home. I remember when I first moved to Los Angeles I was very home sick and missed my family a lot. My friend was in Disneyland with her family and as soon as I got off of work I drove to the park and purchased my first season pass. As soon as I got onto the tram I felt a sudden sense of relief. I felt comforted and at home. I have so many amazing memories with my family at the Disneyland park. Now I have amazing memories with most of my friends there as well.

Now that you get the gist of why I am so connected to Disneyland... What do I enjoy doing at Disneyland you ask? Well just about anything and everything. I love going to the park with my family and going for 3 straight days doing every ride possible. At the same time I love heading to Anaheim to just grab dinner in New Orleans while watching glimpses of the fireworks. I love going to Disneyland to grab a caramel apple and people watch with my friends on main street. I love going to the park during summer and watching the fireworks and feeling the sense of hope. Seems silly, but the fireworks always remind me that we always have to remember our dreams and keep striving to reach them. Among all the amazing things there are to do at Disneyland, the most rewarding thing I have done is share the magic with my little cousin, and two nephews whom have become almost as obsessed as I have. I could ramble on and on about my favorite rides, snacks, treats, and hidden mickeys for hours (just ask my friends and family). If your interested I have listed some fun things I enjoy at the parks bellow. 

Food

Breakfast: My all time favorite breakfast at the parks has to be at the Carnation Cafe. What I would give for a Mickey Mouse shaped Belgium waffle right now with a side of bacon.

Mid-Afternoon Snack: I love heading to the 'Tropical Imports' and grabbing something healthy to snack on! Usually a pickle! If I am feeling like something sweet for a snack I always go straight to a churro!

Lunch: As much as I would love to skip lunch and keep on riding rides it is always great to refuel. I can't help it but I am a sucker for a great cheeseburger. That is way I go to 'Tomorrowland Terrace'. The burgers and fries here are amazing. Also if your lucky you can find a seat in time for the Jedi Training Academy!

Dinner: I love most of the restaurants for dinner in the Disneyland parks but my recent favorite is  'Royal Street Veranda'. The gumbo... is amazing. 

Treats on the way out: Best on the way out treat is Goofy Gummy Worms, or Ice Cream from Main Street! 

Ok enough of me gabbing about Disneyland. Hopefully I didn't make you too hungry...

The Tree House

The Tree House

What isn't better than a new office to kick start a new position at work. Like many of my friends know I work at Blue Candy Jewelry. I have been working at a desk in the same office space as the designer. Upon graduation as a gift my boss gave me a space of my own, in what we like to call "The Tree House". She completely redid the space! Adding new furniture, and fresh cut flowers. How can I not feel inspired, and motivated all at the same time in this pretty new office of mine.

Magical Clouds

Today was one of those days where it started off foggy. I almost thought I was back in San Francisco, not in LA. As the day went on the fog broke and the sun decided to peek through. Before the clouds cleared I was able to snap this picture! iPhone quality of course...Don't you just think cloudy days are magical once the sun appears out of the blue!

Inspire to Create

FIDM Grad, working full time for a jewelry designer, and social media "wiz". 

Regardless of me finishing school I am still a very busy girl. It is always great to stay inspired. That is where the name of my blog comes into play. It is always good to stay inspired. You can be inspired by anything. A picture, a friend, family, or even just a conversation with a friend. My mind has so many wanderings on a day to day basis. I would love a place to dump it all at the end of the day, or even after just having my morning coffee. Please don't mind my ramblings. So I am starting fresh at this "blogging" thing. So here is to good faith that I will keep this blog as up to date as possible.
