The new header image, yay or nay?
Guys, this playlist is GOOD! Ah, I love discovering new music. And making playlists. My car is up for sale right now and I haven't been able to listen to Spotify in the car. It has been TORTURE! I literally never listen to the radio and let me just say for good reason. There are a few catchy songs out right now but for the most part I just hate it haha. Sometimes I just turn it off and drive in silence lol. Anyway, here's the Spotify playlist if you want to add it!
XOXO

P.S. If you have any electric/chill/house songs you're obsessed with please let me know. Always recruiting haha.

| We walked around the capitol with my friend Leah and her husband! It was SO PRETTY. I can't believe in all my years living in Utah I have never been before haha. We took some cute pictures I'll share later! |
 |
| I made the best chickpea gyros! I'll post the recipe once I perfect it. It was a little bit spicy for my taste haha. But also they wouldn't stay together, so I had to tie them and felt very #blogger. |
 |
| I made this cookie pizza for the first time in YEARS! It's one of my favorite desserts. I wish I would have put more chocolate on it but #yaliveyalearn. I literally ate 3 pieces and I wish I was kidding. |
 |
| Ok this was my favorite meal I have made in FOREVER. Brown rice, green beans and carrots (sautéed), and tofu (dried and coated in cornstarch) fried. We used Archer Farms teriyaki sauce and I couldn't stop talking about it the whole time we were eating. After we were done I was like, "Jake! That was healthy too!" Then I calculated the calories and it was like 650 hahah but oh well. Definitely worth it. |
 |
| I took Trixie on a walk and literally spent 15 minutes walking to and away from these babies trying to figure out if they were real or fake. Turns out they were real, deer just hold still really well I guess? |
 |
| I'm getting so sad that my days with her are numbered :( She is perfect. |
The O.C. coming to Hulu. (Goodbye productivity!)

Jake: "Em, do you wish I had boobs sometimes?" *I always punch his pecks hahaha and he gets so confused.*
Jake: "I don't really care what our kids names are. I mean like, obviously I would care if it was like... (looks at peanut butter jar) Jif or something."

The Beef Theory
Friday, April 1, 2016
OK YOU GUYS. I ended up throwing up not 1, not 2, BUT 3 TIMES THAT NIGHT... Amongst other things... I haven't thrown up for a really long time, and I hate throw up. (Like I would rather clean up any bodily function OTHER than throw up. Especially dog throw up. Ugh. Don't even get me started.)
The first time I threw up I came back to bed and literally BAWLED to Jake. Like, shaky breath, alligator tears, everything. He was so confused lol.
So yeah. I'm feeling better today but still only eating apples and saltine crackers. Basically, I plan on remaining a vegetarian forever (sorry Mom), but I am *oVeR* those fake beefs ugh. DX
XOXO

WE GOT AN APARTMENT IN NEW YORK CITY!
Wednesday, March 30, 2016
IT HAPPENED. We found an apartment!!! Without telling you the exact neighborhood, it's on Manhattan island just a 10 minute walk from central park. Which means we can have pets! I AM SO EXCITED.
I am seriously soooo excited. Like I can't stop. In New York City, real estate goes so fast. Like, basically unless you're ready to move in within the week you won't get shown apartments. They just laugh at you.
We were planning on having spaghetti anyway (Congratulate me, I am now making dinners (because I am bored) like a real adult.) but we popped out our Martinelli's and had a little party. Even Trixie got some meatballs. :)!
Stay tuned for NYC adventures comin' at ya soon!
XOXO

P.S. Literally how gross is the word meatballs? Like meat is gross, and balls is gross, but meatballs?! DX

| Ugh this picture is blurry!! #whatevs #shakeitoff |
Ok! So we got our first couple's massage! (Also our first massage in general haha.) IT WAS SO GOOD. I was a little nervous before we went, but it turned out fine. I think we are going to make it a new Valentine's Day tradition. They gave us a sugar foot scrub and Martinelli's and chocolate!!!
Are you supposed to talk during a couple's massage? Like in the movies they are always talking to each other? Idk. We didn't talk to each other haha. Like, A.) I didn't have anything to say, and B.) I just wanted to relax. Anyway, what's the norm for that?
Oh and also they didn't touch my butt. I thought they would, because my friend who gets massages all the time said that they massage your butt and it feels really good. But they didn't so that was that haha.
OK ALSO. We voted at the Caucus on Tuesday! It was sooo crazy and not very well organized. Thank the heavens we saw one of my friends there and he directed us on where to go. I took these pictures while waiting for Jake to fill out his ballot. Bernie and Ted ended up winning, so yay!
Also, I feel like more people need to educate kids on how the voting process works. Like, soo many people I talked to thought that the caucus didn't matter BUT IT DOES. This is basically how it works (if I understand correctly).
All these different candidates run -> during the caucus, you vote for you want to be president -> how many votes each candidate gets has an effect on how many delegates they get -> whichever candidates have the most delegates get to be the final 2! -> if you get 1,297 delegates then you are automatically one of the final 2.
So basically the caucus's matter because you're having a direct effect on who the final 2 candidates are. SO GO VOTE! Like, I honestly get mad when people don't vote because it has such a big effect on our lives I feel like everyone should be able to have a say. There's a really cool website called www.isidewith.com where you can answer a few questions and see who you should vote for.
Anyway, I have more to say about this but I don't want to write a novel so I'll stop haha.
Lastly, if you live in Utah go to The Orange Peel!! Literally everything they have is good. I loved the smoothie pictured! So far my favorite bubble tea has been: thai coconut, almond, avocado, and no sweeter. SO GOOD. If you haven't been there yet then seriously go! Since me and Jake (well I've stopped, Jake has cut down) drinking soda, it's been soo fun to still be able to go somewhere and get drinks.
Anyway, jeez was this post long enough? #novel. If you made it to the end then congratulations :)

Bye Social Dental Felicia
Tuesday, March 22, 2016
You guys! Friday was my last day of work! Out of all the different places I've worked (8!!) Social Dental was BY FAR my favorite!
I ended up absolutely loving start-up atmosphere. It was so relaxed and just fun! I think the coolest thing about working at a start-up is the sense of ownership you feel with the company. It becomes like your baby haha. And you can have like, a huge impact on how it functions. I hope I was able to leave it better than I found it, even if just by organizing the shipping system haha.
Anyway, I'm so glad that I was able to work here and meet so many amazing people. #FRIENDZ4EVER. Also, look at this cute little surprise party they threw me on my last day!
They came in with a confetti gun (It was so awesome! It startled all of us ahaha. I want like 10 of them.) cake, and a mini me!
My work BFF, Sydney, got me this cake haha! I have been calling everything a "Felicia" lately so I'm glad that got incorporated haha.
My desk! And all the confetti!
Ok so they drew on glasses and lipstick! How good does it look?! #artists haha.
My department (minus a few people). I LOVE ALL OF THEM.
#tastetherainbow. Also Sydney picked out the perfect plates. Like the cake, the plates, it all fit me so perfectly haha. I love when other people know me so well that they can do that.
MY WORK BFF!!!!! She is going to have the mini-me in her office hahaha. I told her she should put cameras in the eyes so I can see her lolz. SYD I WILL MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COME VISIT ME!
The final farewell! Ugh! I know I will love being a therapist and I'm happy that I'm on that career path. Social Dental was such a fun place to work though! I don't think I'll ever work anywhere that has that great of energy/culture ever again! Goodbye my little Social Dental. I will miss you!
XOXO
