Can you believe its almost Christmas already? Once October rolls around and I start seeing all the Christmas decor popping up at the store shelves, its hard to ignore the signs that Christmas is just around the corner. And if you are the type of person who loves to switch up your phone wallpaper with seasonal designs, I have a few Christmas wallpapers for you. I had some fun tinkering on Canva to create these six free Christmas Wallpapers. To download any of these free Christmas phone wallpapers on your Iphone/Android, you simply have to hold and save the image! And if you are on your desktop, just click the wallpaper, and save the file to your computer. Then email the picture to yourself and open it on your phone to save and set as your wallpaper!    

Hello! Its been quite a hot minute since I sat down and made a blog post. I'm not really sure if anyone out there is even reading this but thats okay. When I first started, I thought I would have more time to stick to blogging but I completely stopped when I had other competing priorities. Regardless, I'm a believer thats its never too late to start over so here I am. Lately I just felt the urge to pull up my blog and start writing again. You might see some content from me on my latest international travel trip to Vietnam. It was a very eventful ten day trip to Hanoi and Hoi Ann and I had a blast! Going forward, I'll pop in here and there to just write about random thoughts, things happening in life, holiday plans, hobbies, goals, whatever I feel like.  If you're still reading this, I hope to see you back. Heres to a new fresh blogging start...

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. Cook thirty new recipes - I have been really into baking lately and neglected my cooking skills. In 2021, I am aiming to cook more.  2. Travel to one new destination (J...

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. It is the girl-fied version of Rudolph “the pink nose” reindeer cake. Originally, I was inspired by the reindeer cakes I found online but I didn’t have all the right ingredients at home so with a bit of imagination and modification this cake was created instead. And I’m pleasantly surprised with the outcome being that I’m an amateur baker and this is the first two layer cake that I ever made. Its not perfect but it’s more special that way. I decided to document the steps I took in building this cake below if you want to make your own reindeer cake. Plus, it also functions as a piggy cake without the antlers. Have fun and happy baking!  Things You’ll Need: Eyes and Antlers: Semi Sweet Chocolate Morsals (Target) Parchment paper  Reindeer Antler Template (I drew the template from Rosanna Pansino’s book “Baking A...

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. Back in my high school days, I spent hours scrolling through blogs like Xiaxue, Fashion Toast, Cheesie, Musing of Muse, Naomi Neo, Cara Loren and many countless others that I sadly don’t remember anymore. 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 ...
