Knock, Knock. Who's there? 2012… almost.

Well, it's almost time to kiss 2011 goodbye and say "haaay" to the fresh, young 2012. Time sure flies when you're having fun, righhht?! To start the new year with a BANG, Monikapolitan.com is giving all customers FREE SHIPPING. And btw (by the way) this offer is only valid till January 2nd. I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and stuffed your cookie pouches with plenty of snacks, cause I know I did. I spent my Holiday doing the traditional Cavazos Christmas Eve party, followed by a 7am wake-up by my little brother to open presents, then family over at my house. Christmas Eve we usually do some karaoke but the 21st century is really taking over and we upgraded to Just Dance… wooo it made me feel old that my younger cousins were wurkin' it better than I was. I know I may always say this, but I really can't believe ANOTHER year has passed, a lot changes in a year and I will definitely be posting my "Best of 2011" blog soon… this could get interesting.

One Day in Providence

Wednesday we took a train ride to Rhode Island so we could visit Providence and Brown… because it was Seth Cohen's dream University but if you didn't watch The O.C then you wouldn't understand so stop reading now. Just kidding, don't stop reading. Okay you can if you want. No just kidding. Okayyy, so we arrived in Providence by train which was really exciting because I'm from Texas and train rides don't really exist here ya'll. The city was more beautiful than I expected and the campus was breath taking… I felt like I was at Hogwarts, straight out of a Harry Potter scene. Since it was once Eric's territory, he was my tour guide and provided me with the complete history of every building that was relevant. We had some delicious Indian food and the entire meal I got to stare out this window that gave me a cute view of the Avon Theatre, a historic theatre that was showing My Week With Marilyn and well, I couldn't resist. The movie was spectacular and the vintage theatre made it that much better

Boston Aquarium- Day 3

It feels great to be back to blogging! I've missed it oh so much and now that school's out and I have more time, hopefully I'll get to get back into my groove. Here's day 3 in Boston and it was one of my most favorite days because we did a whole bunch of awesome things like talk to penguins, pet sting rays, see REAL dinosaur bones and I even got to try legit, fresh chowdaaa. In the evening, we went to see the Boston Symphony and boy oh boy was it a treat! The theatre looked like something out of an old movie and they played my favorite Christmas classics.

Boston- Days 1 & 2

My days are all whacky so I don't even know where to begin, but lets start where I last left off. My last update was from when we first arrived in Boston. After we settled into the hotel, we walked to Harvard Square to do some shopping and eat some pad thai. It took me 2 hours in the streets of Boston to realize my wimpy gloves would not do justice, so I quickly bought some tough, thick, fingerless, gloves at Urban Outfitters that pretty much saved my hands life the entire trip. After walking into as many quaint, little shops as we could, we ended the night at a cozy and warm bar/restaurant where I had myself a dirty martini.

The next day, Eric Steven and I took a stroll to the subway and headed out to Newbury Street for some massive amounts of shopping. For those of you that don't know, Newbury Street is a reaallly long street with a ton of beautiful and historic, brownstone buildings that are now shops and restaurants…. so, I'm sure you can only imagine what was going through my female brain. Before we dove into shopping, we ate at this amazing, little restaurant that had the most delicious red sangria and Falafel. After filling our tummies we walked Newbury street and stopped at the usual Forever21, H&M, Urban Outfitters and even stopped at Johnny Cupcakes! It was great actually being able to see the physical Johnny Cupcakes store in person because I've been such a fan for years and he is someone who inspired me to start Monikapolitan. We also discovered an enchanted little fairy shop where I bought "the softest unicorn in the world" and other mystical treasures. Also, I graduated.
