 || two days of R & R ... and lots of work ||

I had a little panic attack just now when I convinced myself that summer was over, and I had done nothing and was a total non-success -- ever have those days? It's not even officially summer, I've done plenty, will do plenty, and am already a success. Just. Like. You. It's normal to psyche yourself out every once and awhile, but important to be realistic and take a breath. You are doing so so so much. Seriously. Even on your worst day, just imagine how all of your cells are moving in harmony, and your body is humming -- even if it's in pain -- working hard hard hard at keeping you alive and thriving. So curve the corners of your lips into a smile, keep in on your face for the rest of the day, and remind yourself that today, you are enough, and you have plenty of life left to make everything happen. So stop stressing. Friday Friyay!

Have you tried to digitally detox yet? Maybe this weekend is exactly the right time. Read my post on it here.

Hope everyone had a great long weekend! Back on the grind as they say :) -- I've experienced some technical difficulties with this computer of mine -- okay trackpad, we get you were a little overworked -- so she'll be in the shop for the next couple of days. Because of this, new content will be pushed back until her return, but fear not! Pictures are snapping, ideas are flowing, and the best of summer is yet to come. What shall I work on while my computer and I part ways? Cocktail recipes? Salads? Desserts? Let me know what you'd like in the comments below or on Facebook! Xx.

 || Three Day Weekend to Celebrate & Remember ||

While this weekend is a beautiful time to sit around a fire, drinking some drinks and tossing back s'mores, let's not forget the real reason we have Monday off. Celebrate the freedom you have by giving thanks and gratitude that someone spends their days in stressful situations for our safety. Their brave dedication and love of their country affords us the opportunity to sit on our couches watching Netflix or working hard on the top floor of a skyscraper. I cherish the beauty that is not walking around worrying if this is my last day on Earth, but there are people out there with that worry, all so that we may move in peace. So I tip my hats to those ladies and gentleman and wish you all a happy weekend! Xx.
