a) went to the riviera maya for winter break! this is the third time i've been to mexico for winter break; i went to cozumel in 2009, cancun in 2010, and the riviera maya in 2011. to be completely honest, i'm sort of sick of the humid, hot weather... i like warm weather! i just don't like humidity, haha. anyway, if you ever decide to visit the yucatan area, i would definitely recommend playa del carmen over the cancun beach. it's a lot quieter and the sand is softer! very pretty. :)

b) things i got for christmas from my sister:

1. fresh's strawberry flowers parfum
2. threadless t-shirts! amsterdam
3. almost home
4. bare necessity

i don't wear t-shirts by themselves like normal people... because i don't like wearing pants. 99% of the time i wear t-shirts with a high-waisted skirt... that's why i only asked for shirts with designs on the upper-half... :')

c) i finished "life after genius" by m. ann jacoby in mexico and i'm surprised that it's not as well-known as i thought it would be! it's beautiful and wry and sometimes uncomfortable and honestly hurts. the scary thing is that i know you're supposed to love mead and you're not supposed to love herman, but my heart hurt for herman in all the wrong places. it was one of the first times i was so engaged in so many characters at once. what i loved most about it was that the first chapter lays out a thread for you to pull, and as you read, you unravel the driving mystery at the very heart of the book. it's gorgeous.

d) in case you missed it:
