The jacket that is taking over my entire life

I have been staring at this jacket for about 3 weeks now and I need it to complete my life. I called my mom about a week ago and asked her for it, but she practically hung up on me when I told her the price. I know some of you might not get the jacket has it has spikes on it, but I need it about as much as I need water. For now this jacket will just be a picture that sits on my desktop that I stare at daily. But by my birthday or Christmas it will be in a package wrapped with my name on it...i hope.

A Rainbow in the Mountains

I saw a rainbow while driving home the other day. A big deal for us Cali people as it never rains. Rainbows remind me of dreams and lucky charms. Every time I see one I can't help but wonder what's at the end of it. Is it really a bowl of lucky charms? Or is it just a never ending piece of mother nature that makes you smile...

Happy Valentine's Day

"I carry your heart with me. I carry it in my heart. I am never without it. Anywhere I go, you go, my dear. And whatever is done by only me... is your doing, my darling. I fear no fate... for you are my fate, my sweet. I want no world, for, beautiful... you are my world, my true. Here is the deepest secret no one knows. Here is the root of the root... and the bud of the bud... and the sky of the sky of a tree called life... which grows higher than the soul can hope... or mind can hide. It is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart. I carry your heart. I carry it in my heart." - Cummings

To my boyfriend. You have my heart forever and always.

My Day as a Vacuum Cleaner

If you know me, you probably know that I'm not a very big eater. My meals don't consist of much and it's not because I don't like food. I'm really just not that hungry! And I drink like 10 cups of coffee a day which I hear suppresses your appetite. Every now and then (usually once a month), my mouth acts as more of a shovel then just a regular hole with teeth and a tongue. Today was one of those days. Really today I was more like a vacuum cleaner.

I started my day out with a cup of coffee like I normally do. I then had a cup of Chex Mix and String Cheese...at 10:30 am. Which is totally necessary. I of course needed to wash it down with something so I chose Orange Juice because there is nothing better then a glass of 150 calories and 30 grams of sugar! I went from that to a small cup of pita chips and some cashews from Costco because if we're being honest, they have the best. At 2:30 when I headed out to run my errands I stopped at the mall for a coffee bean in hopes to kill the rest of my appetite...in case you were wondering it didn't work.

For dinner about 5 nights a week I go to whole foods. It's important that you know that Whole Foods has the nicest people that work there who will give you samples of everything. When I first walked in I enjoyed a few slices of bread a piece of chocolate and a sample of orange chicken. Then got myself some Chinese food. Since this lovely dinner I broke into the candy section of my house and had a Henri Bendels chocolate bar and some gummi bears.

In all honesty I want to vom. But, I think my body is very happy with me as it was obviously hungry...even though I have a baby made out of food living in my belly.

"Breakfast at Chanel"

When your little you have dreams about becoming a princess, or living in the Disney World castle, or having a room that looks like the Barbie section of Toys R Us and you rely on your parents to make these dreams come true. As we get older our dreams get more specific and become more like goals. My dream for the last 8 years was to own a Chanel bag. Everything about this classic beauty gave me the worst anxiety when I would walk buy it. The perfectly stitched patchwork, the gold chains that can be adjusted to the size you desire, and the perfectly placed C's that clasp the baby shut. This was the bag that had been carried by some of the most amazing women in the world!

Once reality set in and I realized that this dream was not happening with my wallet I made it a goal to have my mom make this come true. Luckily for me my mom grew up in the center of Hollywood and understood all about my love for designers. Which is why when I was born I made her my best friend :).

When you set goals for yourself its important to be persistent and work hard for them. So for 8 years I worked hard to get my mom to buy me this bag. My mother wasn't born yesterday. She knew as I got older my taste would get more and more expensive. So this purchase shouldn't have been a big surprise.

After 8 years of hard work and determination I was presented with a gift on my last Birthday. A perfect square box wrapped up with the most exciting paper I had ever seen. I opened it and found the love of my life starring me in the face...my Chanel bag. It might have been one of the most fabulous days of my life. And carrying it was everything I thought it would be! Every time I wear my bag I feel like playing dress up. It's like I'm 5 years old and my mom had made my dreams come true again. This my seem like a ridiculous story and you may think "what a spoiled brat", but for me this was my "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and my best friend, my mommy, made it happen.

The Kid on a Leash

Yesterday I found myself aimlessly walking around the mall looking for things to waste my money on like I typically do on Monday evenings. As there was nothing that I could find to purchase I went into See's candy for a free sample of chocolate...which is were I then found the Kid on a leash. The kid didn't seem misbehaved or loud like most kids usually do to me. He was really very quiet and tame. The leash was like the one in the picture, but was decorated with sparkles (totally unnecessary). I think the sparkles made the mom feel better about putting her kid on a leash in the first place, but who am I to judge. Anyways, I found myself innocently following the kid and his mother for about 5 minutes since I have always been very confused by this. When the kid went to far, she yanked him back. Just like I do to my dogs when they are on a leash. This may seem like a pointless post, but I'm truly confused by this.

Is this really necessary??

Welcome to Me

Never did I ever think I would start a blog. But here I am sitting on my couch with 2 dogs and a boyfriend blogging while watching the Bachelor. My name is Nicole Travolta. I have an age range of "16-22" with more energy and love for life then you'll ever know or probably understand! My fun facts of life and daily random moments are what helped me decide to start blogging. That and an epic moment in class (I'll explain in time). I put my career first and reality TV second. My Family, Boyfriend, dogs and friends are my heart. I truly believe that when one door closes another one opens and confidence is the key to most situations (and a great pair of heels).

Being me is exciting. Welcome to Little me in my very big world. :)
