Hello followers!!!
I have to apologize for the lack of inspiration I've had the past week... I'm sorry to say I haven't taken any photos... but I will be back on track soon :) I am hoping to get out of this crazy city sometime.. hopefully soon. Tet closed this place down for the past week. I've been living on ramen noodles because all the street vendors are home celebrating the new year with their families.. I'm happy they all take the time to relax for a while. This place is so full of energy I couldn't imagine what it would be like to live here... Although I have basically been living here for the past month :) What a place!!! If any of you have the desire to come to Vietnam, do it!!!

It has been amazing to see how many people check my blog.. it blows my mind!!! Thank you all for following!! Blessings to all of you and I will post again soon... xo

the goddess of the opera house

with her angels

the angels protect her from the pirates that come in the night...

city wandering..

today was a good day for reflection..

 ever tried a dragon fruit?

what a crazy looking fruit from a crazy looking tree

next week is tet, the vietnamese new year

everyone is preparing for the celebrations... today we stumbled

upon a park full of flowers and fruit trees for sale

roarrrrr says the orchid!!! watch out or I'll bite you..

looking through the market you can find all kinds of treasure...

another beautiful day in ho chi mihn... I never thought

I would love the city.. but feelings are always changing... 

to the dark side..... 

In the back streets of Ho Chi Mihn City there are some amazing 

artists who don't receive nearly enough credit for

their talent..

They take nail painting to a whole new level

Beadazzled toes... why not?

 

A little bit of glitter... maybe some jem stones

Those are some good lookin feet... and for the mani, pedi combo $5

:) cheap pampering is the way to go!! 

once again.. maybe they were lost in translation

maybe they just like their women in a plastic cup....

either way I am amused.

What a mystical cafe this was... music, candle light..

how romantic...

Ms. Esther Flatters.. this is the sign outside of the 5 star Equatorial Hotel

where she is working and living

what a beauty.. the joke is that she is the queen...

then theres me eating noodle soup with chop sticks

on the side of the road... :) gotta love dinner for a dollar!!

A place like this for a girl like me can be overwhelming.. that

can be applied on so many levels.. the market, the city,

the freedom.. but trust me

I'm not complaining 

Beads, ribbons, sparkles, lace, chain, jewels, buttons, feathers, thread, fabric.. the 

markets here are the best I've seen.. really, what would you like?

I bet I can find it for less then $2

Lets get lost together in all the colors....

 mon ami... :) 

I think this speaks for itself.

A little dragon dance for New Years Eve 

  

The Vietnamese believe these little buggers bring

good luck when you rub their head.

When I tried to give him a little rub

he swallowed my whole head :)

So I think this means I'm going to be the 

luckiest girl in the world...

Happy New Year everyone!!! I wish you all the

best for a lifetime of love and happiness
