Gringalicious Thursday Things: #2 (9000 followers!)

in photography •  7 years ago  (edited)

It's Thursday again you guys and I'm continuing this little series of sharing just random little things from my life. I've been really liking these. So here are today's things

Firstly, thank you guys soooooo much for helping me reach 9000 followers! I'm so grateful for all your support! Now let's go for 10!!!

Thursday Things Jan #2 - Gringalicious.com (11).jpg

Okay, so I’m loving this most adorable ever gift from my big sister @uglysweater and her hubby @rigaronib. Funny story, when I opened it at Christmas everyone was asking if I knew what it was and, me thinking they were asking if I knew what it was supposed to look like, I said “Of course, it’s a camera lens.” Everyone thought that I thought it was a real lens rather than a thermos and got worried I’d be disappointed. These kind of moments are always hilarious.

Haircut/style question guys, what do you think about me going more blond? I’d never added any color to my hair ever until a few months ago when I got some blond highlights. What do you think, should I go heavier on the blond next time?

When I lived in Chile (and had opposite seasons) I got used to having fresh flowers growing in our backyard around Valentine’s Day every year. Now that I live back here it’s been a bit sad not to have them so my wonderful dad surprised me with this lovely bouquet to use in photos.

My berry/yogurt bowl obsession continues with no foreseeable end.

A close second to that obsession is my coffee obsession. I didn’t think it was possible to keep loving it more……but I was wrong.

I’ve been looking for new recipe ideas recently because, to be honest, even as a food blogger I am so guilty of falling into food ruts when it comes to everyday eats so if you guys have any great recommendations for recipes or food ideas I’d love to hear!

I finally did some shopping for my upcoming travels and I’m really excited to show you guys what I bought. Although, this time I’m saving them for the trip.

The snow is still on hold it seems but I have a feeling it’s going to make an appearance here soon and bury us in piles of fluffy white. Either way the weather has been pretty chilly so I’ve been living in sweaters.

Thursday Things Jan #2 - Gringalicious.com (7).jpg

Oh, and I finally remembered to order a phone case for my phone because I seriously almost dropped it almost everyday at the gym last week and realized I was being so silly not to just get a case. I went with a marble one, you like?

Thursday Things Jan #2 - Gringalicious.com (12).jpg

I haven’t said anything here on the blog about it but a close family member had been very sick recently so I’d really appreciate your prayers.

I hope you’re having a good week so far. The weekend is a day closer now and the days are getting longer. Happy Thursday!

Grazie del caffè!

Hehe, so glad you like the coffee @sardrt!

Thank you for submitting beautiful photos
Congratulations on getting this
The beautiful gift is a camera lens
It is something special

thanks so much for commenting

I love this photography gringa!

thanks so much for all of your support @yummyrum

Excellent Pictures my Friend

thanks so much @steemitfriend

Such a cool camera mug... fantastic.. lovely post...

thanks for taking the time to comment on my post @wilku

9,000 FOLLOWERS!!! Amazing!

I am so glad I am one of them

Oh, you're too sweet @noboxes!

Huge congrats on the 9,000 followers. You're a well deserving star!!

thanks so much for all of your amazing support @mamaloves

congratulations you have worked very hard

thanks

Huge congrats!! I am so glad to be one of those 9k

thanks so much for all of your support @freerunner

that is so amazing, you go girl!!!

You one of my best supporters, thanks so much @fullofhope

Huge congrats on another milestone! You rock!

I think you could rock some more blonde, maybe throw some caramel in there as well, to keep it warm for your skin tone. I'd recommend going with some balayage, to avoid having a sharp line of regrowth later... makes things blend nicely as they grow out.

And coffee... what's there to say, other than it is my fuel most days. So, I totally hear you on the love there. lol

Looking forward to hearing about your travels, and sending big well-wishes to your family.

thanks so much for the well wishes @offbeatbroad and for all of your feedback.

I love the theme of this post - "Thursday Things!" I think it's great to take a few moments to appreciate the little things. Sometimes those can get overlooked by the bigger picture. Awesome photos too @gringalicious, as always!

I believe you are so correct and thanks so much for taking the time to share some of your wisdom @everlove

I'm always grateful to share with you @gringalicious!

Oh!! And on that note, perhaps you and your family would like to play this game with us:

https://steemit.com/thankyouforbeing/@everlove/let-s-play-the-thank-you-for-being-game

What a great thermos! It's perfect for you! I bet it draws looks if you handle that rough - no way to treat a nice camera lens, lol. For food inspiriation, maybe getting a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) basket during the growing season would do the trick. You never know what they will have in their basket, lol. Or just get to know some good gardeners! As my dad always says, "If you don't cultivate a garden, cultivate a friendship with a gardener!"

Sorry to hear about the illness in your family. I hope it all resolved soon and for the better. Take care of yourself during this time, too. It can be a hard process to go through a serious illness in the family.

Thanks so much for the well wishes. The family memeber is still in hospital, however is improving.

Cultivate a friendship with a gardener, I like that!

Hey @creativewoman, thanks so much for all of your support and I am sorry that it took me 5 days to respond

Thanks for these personal insights into your everyday...
I am obsessed with coffee and cakes and I am about to change this somehow bad habit. It's not bad in general, but it's bad for my health and my spiritual development. So I want to get rid at least of the sugar.
How can you eat yoghurt with fruits together with a coffee?
It's great to be a part of your 9000 Followers, because you give me so much inspiration and courage to steem on! So...
All my Love
Holger

I can pretty much eat anything with coffee, it's a gift. Thanks so much for the great commenting @holgerwerner

Perhaps you could create some "mousse au café", or "crème espresso", wouldn' that be fun for coffee addicts?!

WOW... 9000... :))
I try get 4000 now :))

you'll get it with no problem, thanks @foxkoit

Thank you!! ;)

Happy Thursday to you too @gringalicious! I love the thermos from @uglysweater. I've followed her for a long time and enjoy her writing and posts as well. You have a lot of talented sisters! I drop my phone all the time when working out as well. I have a case...but also a cracked screen at the moment ;)

ah, a cracked screen, that is such a drag. Thanks for following my sisters and thanks for the great commenting @denisechips

More chocolate chip cookies! :)

I will keep that in mind

Congratulations for the mile stone achievement, your hair style is OK, you look pretty.

Beautiful photography. I’m inspired.

Thank you very much @miketravels!

hi @gringalicious how about honey, cheese and grapes in combination for food shoot. Just a thought. Congrats on your following.

great idea and thanks for the inspiration @gamainvegas

Nice and beautiful pictures dear ...and many congratulations too :)

thanks so much @cityslicker

Congrats! I think they are well deserved and it wont take you much longer to reach the 10k. Your food photography is always so mouthwatering and the recipe that I tried out of the Frozen Cookie Dough Banana "Nice Cream" was amazing. I just had to swap the cashews for almonds because I forgot the cashews on the soppping tour. :-)
And I think full blonde would suit you haha ;-)

Oh, that is so sweet and I'm thrilled to hear you've tried one of my recipes @marcellus-wllace!

Hi!! I stumbled upon your blog while searching and I will definitely be following you ;) My husband and I also have a severe obsession with coffee and we like to combine different coffee's in order to mix it up and keep it interesting. Our basic mix is Maxwell original blend mixed with Bustelo espresso. Neither of these are expensive or fancy but together taste delicious. I highly recommend!!

thanks so much for the recommendation and great commenting @tmak89. And, welcome to stem
