Once upon a time, there was a little 11-year-old girl who loved candles. She surrounded herself with them and would light them to make herself feel better (yes, even at 11, I was psycho). Unfortunately, this little chillun also loved–and still loves–to take naps. And one fateful day, she carelessly...
Today was insane. I started off the day running and it legitimately feels as though my list hasn’t gotten one iota shorter. It got to the point where I got so stressed-out-to-the-brink-of-a-meltdown that I stopped, organized my thoughts, and cleaned–not one, but–two desks. I cleaned my desk, and then I...
So I’m super excited. There’s a chance (fingers crossed!!) that I will be going to the Bahamas with my parents the first week of May, which would be amaazzziinnnngggg. I’m puckering up for some major Daniells’ butt kissing. Anyway, today is a beautiful, sunny day, but the weather is below...
…about photography and how much I wanted to get into the class? Well I got a call from the administrative assistant in the fine arts department at Northeastern this morning, who made a space for me in a photo class. As it turns out, I’ll be taking the photo class...

I’m wearing one silver and one gold ring today and it’s tripping me out every time I look down at the keyboard. Wearing gold is just a little disconcerting for me. I think of gold much the way I think of red lipstick or pearls or high heels. There comes...
So I’ve mentioned my bucket list a couple times on here already, so I figured I’d re-post it. Basically… I’m not a believer in New Year’s resolutions. I just think they tend to revolve too much around losing weight and looking better and petty bullpucky that sparks a temporary spike...
The Huntington News, 2.17.11 By Marian Daniells, News Staff My first few trips to New York when I was 6, and later when I was 12, left me starstruck and fascinated. How could my hometown in California, with its simple green lawns and suburban soccer moms, possibly compare to a...
I’m not exactly feeling well today. I’m having nasty hot flashes and feel like my skin might melt off (not exactly comfortable when I’m wearing a down jacket). So during my afternoon slump, I snuck into the Marie Claire kitchen and made myself a cup of green jasmine tea. I...
