1) It's officially February, the month of Love. Would it be cliche of me to spout out love notes throughout the month about how in love with my husband I am right now? 2015 marks 8 years of Black and Yellow togetherness and this past January marked our 6 month marriage anniversary which means we are ...
Social Burger | The New Burger Joint In Vienna, VA
While driving down Maple Avenue in Vienna a.k.a. "Resto Road" (a term I coined due to the mass array of restaurants on this road), I noticed a new building sign lit up to our right... Like a moth to a flame, I asked Charles to whip a u-turn and off we went to try out the new burger joint in town. ...
Welcome To The Capitol Jungle… Ahem, U.S. Botanic Garden
If you follow me on Instagram (@setarrra), then you may have peeped Charles and I in major babysitting mode one particular weekend this past holiday season. My little sister, Gigi, came over to hang except that she's not so little anymore. She's officially in kindergarten, much taller and ...
Dear Dr. King
Dear Dr. King: I wonder... I wonder what your thoughts would be on the current state of racial relations in US (and heck, the world) if you were still alive right now. Would you be happy or sad, angry or proud? Despite feeling frustrated and helpless at times, I just wanted you to know that I have ...
Snow Date With My Tripod & Remote Control
You guys, my cunning fox of a husband has outwitted me once again and I can't even be mad at him this time. This past Christmas, Charles gifted me with a tripod and remote control for my camera. And you know what that means, right? It means that Charles is officially a free man... Free from me ...

^^ From Left to Right: Christina, Kim and some girl named Setarra ;) Once upon a time when I used to live in NYC, I had my first slurp of ramen at Totto Ramen in Hell's Kitchen and needless to say, my taste buds fell in love. Since moving back down to the D.C. area, I hadn't yet found time to ...
NYE 2015 Pajama Jam Party
For the past couple of years, Charles and I have gone full out for New Years Eve whether separately or together... You know the deal: A night out at a hotel, restaurant, or boat where we are all decked out in our fancy clothes and shoes, with the usual usual suspect, an open bar. Oh yes, we have ...
A Very Merry Christmas Recap :)
December... Can you imagine a December without a Christmas, Hanukah, or a Kwanza? What do you think December would look like without all of its holiday cheer? I have no idea and have no interest in trying to find out because I like December just the way it is. With that said, allow me to transport ...

Giving Thanks With One Month Off From Blogging :)
Friends, Family & Food. Doesn't get much better than that. This past Thanksgiving, Charles and I split our time between hanging with his family during the day and my family in the evening. Needless to say, my belly was verrrrrrrrrrry happy. ^^ The whole gang :) ^^ The set up @ Kellye's ...
Inside The Dance Studio :)
For the past 2 1/2 months, I've spent my Tuesday and Thursday evenings in a dance studio, re-staging a piece I choreographed 5 years ago on the students in the School of Dance at George Mason University and I'm realizing that I've been a bit closed off about my dance rehearsal process here ...
