cake pops and sprinkles
I wanted to do something special for my sister’s birthday so I decided to make cake pops for her birthday party. It was my first time doing it, but I’ve seen so many adorable pictures online that I wanted to finally try it out myself. It took WAY longer than I anticipated, but now that I’ve gone through it once, I have some helpful tips to make baking them a faster and smoother...

darkly understated
Old Navy dress, Forever21 sweater, vintage belt, Sam Edelman studded flats
For a dinner with the bf, his parents and his out-of-town relatives, I went for a feminine and conservative outfit with a dark palette. You know me, I loves me my black and greys. I threw a knit V-neck sweater over a flouncy Old Navy trapeze dress and cinched with a vintage belt. I love the color of the...

em yêu anh i love you je t'aime
As the holidays wind down and stores take their xmas decorations down the day after NYE, what do they replace them with? Valentine’s Day decor! I used to quietly dread Valentine’s Day, but you know what, it doesn’t have to be a day just for couples. If anything, it should be a day where you spoil yourself or your friends with flowers and jewelry. Valentine’s Day should...

They are an online retail store that offers novelty designs and funny tees for men, women and kids. They share a lot of the same options as CrazyDogTShirts, and offer categories like Funny, Zombie, Vintage and Movie tees. Last time I chose an...

fall leaves and headphones
I am totally a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl and you can find me in my usual casual getup 99% of the week. I was totally thrilled to get the chance to pick out a T-shirt from CrazyDogTShirts.com and their wide selection of funny T-shirts for guys, gals and kids alike. I had a really hard time choosing just one shirt, but in the end, I went with my gut and chose the “Headphones...

Nurse Reveals Top 5 Regrets People Make on their...
For many years I worked in palliative care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. Some incredibly special times were shared. I was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives. People grow a lot when they are faced with their own mortality.
I learnt never to underestimate someone’s capacity for growth. Some changes were phenomenal. Each experienced a variety of emotions,...

As this is the season for giving, my Floating On Whispers blog has been fortunate enough to be given some early Christmas gifts in the form of sponsored posts and product reviews! The first product review of December is sponsored by Griffin Technology. Thanks, Griffin!
Whenever I get a new shiny, fancy electronics product, my first instinct is to immediately get some protection for it. I bought...

versace for h&m adventure
B-A-N-A-N-A-S!
I had been debating for a few weeks on whether to go out for the Versace for H&M release on November 19th. The hype was freaking nuts leading up to it, thanks to their genius marketing tactics like slowly leaked ads and videos, their disturbingly cool commercial featuring Lindsey Wixson and Daphne Groeneveld as fembots, and their star-studded runway show with performances by...

a day in sf part 2: fort funston
Here are the pictures from Kika’s doggy day of fun! We ambled on over after our brunch at Squat and Gobble. I switched out my coat and boots for a long cardigan and sneakers. This was our first time going to Fort Funston up in San Francisco, which is a giant off-leash dog park and beach area and part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and Parks Conservancy. Fort...

perfect crafted and personalized jewelry
Jewelry is one of the most important accessories that can really enhance your outfit and distinguish your style from others. I think the right piece of jewelry reflects your own personal style, taste and character. I tend to lean towards simplistic, classic styles of jewelry, which is why you’ll never see me without my Tiffany&Co silver band. However, I definitely like to mix it up...

giving thanks
This time of year gives a little perspective on how (un)grateful you’ve been throughout the rest of the year. It’s the easiest to know who’s really there for you when life is the hardest. I’m so grateful to have the friends and family I do have in my life.
Be humble, be thankful. Happy Thanksgiving.
