Raison d’Etre: To live each day making sure at the end of it I have a great story to tell.

Job: By day I work for a medical device company, interior design student and blogger on Joy De Vivre Design by night.

Live: Houston, Texas

Happiness: Traveling, spending time with friends and family and seeing my puppy Barkley wagging his tail when I come home from work everyday.

Brunch: The Ivy in LA. I love the outdoor patio in the beautiful California weather.

Drink: Polo Beach Grille and Bar at the Fairmont Kea Lani in Maui. They make the most beautiful non alcoholic drinks in pineapples. Anything is better overlooking the beach with an umbrella in your drink.

Eat: My hometown has the best Tex-Mex ever! Pappasitos is one of my favorites.

Escape: Hana in Maui for relaxation. Walt Disney World for indulging my youthful side.  New York City is my most favorite escape though because I love the atmosphere and the fast pace of the city.

Read: Glamour, Vogue, Lucky

Listen: I love many types of music. Anything from Dolly Parton to Kiss to Maroon 5. My absolute favorite band is Papa Roach because their energy is infectious.

View or watch: I love anything with Marilyn Monroe, Some Like It Hot being my favorite.  Sex and the City the Movie, Miss Congeniality and Pretty Woman are a few of the others I watch repeatedly.  On television I love to watch Glee, Anderson Cooper 360, Samantha Brown on the Travel Channel and What Not to Wear.

Indulge: Cupcakes

Shop: Anthropologie, Nordstrom, Endless.com and MAC Cosmetics

Splurge: I love to splurge on a wonderful vacation and I just might happen to pick up a great pair of shoes while there!

Aspire: I really aspire to just be the best me that I can be, but I love old Hollywood Glamour where the girls always looked beautiful when they stepped out the door. In modern times I really look up to Diane Sawyer because I think true beauty comes from having grace and intelligence. 

Charity: The Epilepsy Foundation of Texas, the Star of Hope Shelter in Houston and the ASPCA

Dream: I appreciate everything in my life now and I just want to keep living life having a blast!

Accessory: I love my Craftwork by Rafe clutch because not only is it a beautiful bag it also has a great purpose. Rafe has done so much to help these poor women in Manila with this collection that it makes me proud to play a part in such a great cause. Cheers to Rafe for making a difference!
