Hello, My name is Monica “Moni” Lynn Briones and I’m currently recovering from Ovarian Cancer and Encephalitis while living in Austin, Texas. I started this blog with a desire to write about my recovery process but it’s quickly become a space for me to share what’s inspiring me now. From beauty to wellness, fashion and art, I’m constantly discovering life all over again. My hope is that this blog will inspire you or open the door of thoughtful exchange between you and I. So let me know what’re you’re thinking. I want to know!

One final thought…If beating Cancer and Encephalitis have taught me anything its this:

Life is short. Enjoy the party while it lasts.

Welcome to my fiesta! xo Moni
