Keepin it Cas(ual)

There's a lot of talk on the interwebs about how to spell the abbreviated version of casual. Is it "Cazj", "Cas'", "Cazh"...? It boggles my mind every time. I even looked it up on google and checked out 3 websites to see what people think just so I could use "Keepin it Cazj" for my title of this post! Buzzfeed did a poll  and had their audience vote for which way was the best, and "Cas'" won. All of this debate, reading and wasted time just to tell you that I'm wearing this plaid dress from Madewell to keep it casual on the weekends. yay.

Back to Business

Ever since 2016 rolled along, it's been back to business - which at this time of year means back to back meetings at my 9 to 6, weekend work trips, late night Vibrvncy meetings, recovering from jetlag, less sleep, more junk, and less time to blog. My goal in January was to cook more (that didn't happen). My second goal was to work out more (does doing the elliptical for 20 minutes 3 times a week count?). My third goal was to get my new site design up and running (3 months later, still working on it). In my survival of all these first world problems, comfortable black and white outfits have been my staple set. Comfortable means goodbye to non-stretchy, tight-fitted, high waisted jeans, and hello to everything that feels like pjs but still look put together and professional. Don't worry jeans, I'll be back for you soon.

Leatheralls

Hi guys! Been quite busy lately giving Hey Yeh a big makeover. We're switching over to a new and improved platform soon and I'm super excited to launch it! The design I want is super specific so I decided to tackle it myself with the help of my awesome tech guy/brother-in-law, Tim!

I wanted to take some time out to show you guys my latest fashion find - these awesome leather overalls. Super comfy, stretchy and funky. These are for the days where you want to look put together, but you don't want to put too much effort into it. :)

Serenity in the City

During my time in Hong Kong, my friend Jenn (@thatworkinglife) and I decided to catch up over a visit to the Chi Lin Nunnery, which supposedly we visited together during our 5th grade field trip (I don't remember that at all). It was nice to come back and appreciate how beautiful and calm this place is. My favorite part was how you can see the high rises hovering over the temple, but couldn't hear the bustling city (see the last photo). One of my hopes for this year is to save money and travel more. We have a few trips planned during the beginning of this year and I am super excited for it! Do you have any goals for this year?
