Quick lit

"When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny." -Paulo Coelho

I gave in...

I've long resisted the call of the blog. I read a few beauty and celebrity-fueled blogs religiously, but as a journalism major it feels a little sneaky to be starting one of my own. I'm not sure how this will evolve, exactly, but for now it's just going to be a place to post my little dishes (tapas) of beauty, fashion, pop culture, literature or anything else that catches my eye. Enjoy!
