A New Yorker In DC: A Weekend Away

Featuring DC's Hottest Photographer

A New Yorker In DC: A Weekend Away
Cina Nguyen

So last week I finally had my long awaited and much needed vacation from life, Denny's and New York. I was so excited to get out of the state for a bit and have a change of scenery as well as see my Grandma, Aunt, and DC babies.

While I spent a good portion of my time off relaxing, I also spent a good portion of it rebooting my body and getting my health in order. I ran, did sit-ups, as well as drink my trusty 310 nutrition shakes and Flat Tummy Tea to keep me on track, in addition to just eating better and paying attention to what I ate.

Now you may ask, if I'm on vacation why would I worry about eating right and exercising? I should be drinking champagne every night with strawberries on my tits sucking on a buttered lobster tail! And I did, but when else would I really have the time to focus on my body and health? However, there was another reason, that upcoming Sunday I would be having a photoshoot with iconic DC Native Photographer Cina! A truly talented photographer who knew my aesthetic very well! I was so excited when she said she had time to shoot me before her shoot with Cherry Glazer, like what a legend! Honestly, truly. So, naturally for the shoot I had to look and feel my best.

The Photoshoot went Amazing! She was focused and very easy to work with. I watched in awe as she effortlessly directed me and created art. I had a feeling the photos would be amazing but nothing compared to when I actually saw them. She had captured my essence perfectly! Even though I didn't have my signature green locks or some other funky color, I still felt and looked myself. It was amazing! I couldn't believe someone could capture my essence so perfectly. Cina's work with me had affirmed what I already knew to be true, and that is that she's got talent!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
