New York: The High Line


One of the things I have on my New Year Resolution List is to get out more and see different things. This weekend I was out in New York and every time I go, I'm such a tourist lol. It's just that there's always so much to see.

This time I went to see The High Line in Chelsea. *clears throat* History time! The High Line was a railroad in the 1840s, which was around the time of the Industrial Revolution and everything was booming. Although, this railroad was super deadly. The road it's on was known as Death Avenue, literally (that's what I read on a board they had that provided history). But yeah, NYC decided to shut it down and now it's a park/walk way. I'm sure there's much more history between everything I just said but that's my short version of how The High Line has become what it is today. It's super cute and has loads of little pieces of art as you walk down or up. And it's a really "Go Green" environment, you could say, with all its plants. I do recommend you go in the spring/summer when everything is actually green and not dead due to the cold. You also won't have to fight the wind smacking your face either. With that, here are some pictures I snapped when I was there!

Christmas 2014



Christmas happened and I hope everyone had a great time. I'm just happy the Christmas is over partially cause I work retail and holidays suck so much during this time. But instead of being a Grinch about the holidays, I must say my Christmas Eve/Christmas was awesome. Now, I don't have some extravagant story to tell you about going to a crazy party but my familia and I had the chillest of all chills(?) days. My mom cooked scrumptious food, there were some drinks and we spent the day watching Christmas movies, Anthony Bourdain and TLC lol. We actually slept a lot too.

I don't have much to say since we didn't do much but, I don't know, this Christmas felt super nice. I was extra happy just to be with the people I'm around 24/7 lol. Maybe cause I'm excited for the New Year and all that to come around. I've got tons of things in store for me in 2015. While we're still in 2014, I took some pictures of how Christmas went. 

Enjoy!
