Happy New Year!  Let me just say thank you next, 2020, and hello 2021! 2020 has been a year like no other, an emotional roller coaster ride filled with more downs than ups, but Im thankful to have made it through this year still relatively healthy + covid free and so are my close family and friends. Truly that is all I can ask for. Now for 2021, Im hopeful for the world to beat this pandemic and for life to resume normally.  For the new year I like to think about my resolutions even though Im part of the 90% who doesn't always follow through with them. lol Im not going to put too much pressure on myself but I like being conscious of the areas that I can improve on whether its healthy habits, personal development, career growth, small changes, etc.  Here are some of my new year resolutions for 2021: 1.

How To Make a  Reindeer Cake But With a Twist Are you ready to make your own pink magical reindeer cake? This festive holiday cake is not your typical reindeer cake.

Hi! I’m Lucy! Welcome to my blog- Diary.Lucy!  I’m an Asian American girl, born and raised from California, in my mid twenties or a millennial as some like to call it with a passion for personal growth, improving on my fitness and wellness journey, discovering new cooking/baking recipes, traveling, and many more.  I also like fast food, zombie shows/movies, and plants haha. This is my blog to share my thoughts on any and every topic whether it’s fitness or food, etc as I wish. Basically my own virtual internet diary to document my experiences and thoughts as I tumble and stumble along the way in figuring out my life.

Now I’m sure most of these individuals have moved onto other social media platforms like IG but I loved reading their written content in the past whether it was simple ou
