Meet The Teacher!

I am so late joining these lovely teacher bloggers in the "Meet The Teacher" linky but hey better late than never right? Thanks Stephanie for creating this!

I'm a 31 year old,  Pre-school teacher living in NYC. This is my forth year teaching at a Montessori school and my first year working with 2 and 3 year olds so I am very excited about that! I am currently working on my masters in Early Childhood and Special Education (it feels I have been in grad school forever!)

No more sweets!

Wow it's been ages since my last blog post. I am so very sorry for not posting anything sooner. I get all wrapped up in work that I tend to neglect this little blog of mine. Anywho, today I am writing because I was inspired by an amazing person who also happens to be one of my favorite fashion bloggers, Elle from Living In Color Style. She wrote a very inspiring blog entry about something personal in her life. You should definitely check out her blog! Not only does she have an awesome fashion sense, she's also very sweet and a fellow teacher! With that being said, here is my #realbloggerbeauty story:

Kira in the city...Atlantic City that is!

Earlier this week, I went to Atlantic City with my cousin and sister. I am not a big gambler...although my sister and cousin like to say that I am. I do enjoy visiting the slots every now and then. We stayed at Revel. It is such a modern, hip and spacious hotel. We stayed in an Ocean view room. And boy what a view it was!

Wedding Season has begun!

Its official! Wedding season has begun! I attended this past weekend my cousin's Cecilia's wedding. I was actually a bridesmaid. Oh what a fun wedding it was! There was so much laughter, tears, and such joy! I had an amazing time and I was so honored and happy to be a part of her day.

My cousin hired a makeup and hairstylist to do our hair and makeup for the wedding. I think he did such an amazing job! I feel bad that I do not remember his name but he was so funny! He kept making us laugh and made my cousin feel less nervous. Because we all know brides tend to be nervous on their wedding day! :)



The wedding ceremony took place at the church my cousin attended since she moved to NYC years ago. My grandparents were married in that church as well. Church ceremonies are so beautiful.

We made a quick stop at Astoria Park in Queens for photos but the wind was not cooperating with us LOL 

The reception took place in Queens. I loved how they decorated the place to match the color of her wedding which was a teal blue mixed with aqua blue. Besides, I love the color blue! :)

My cousins, Priscilla and Frank 

  

I have to thank my cousin Nelly for taking these gorgeous pictures! I did take some as you can see with my iPhone but if it weren't for Nelly, I wouldn't have any from the ceremony or reception. :)

I have a bridal shower to attend at the end of the month for my good friend Bariana. Another exciting wedding to attend in May as well. I just love wedding season!
