A Dose of Pretty

This week felt like summer. The days were warm and sunny, making me excited for summer vacation to finally get here. While we’re still over a month out til then, I’m excited to savor the last bits of spring, including celebrating both my birthday as well as my son’s. It was a lovely reminder, however, to start making plans for the next season. After all, I love having things to look forward to. And while I don’t have plans for a big international vacation or tropical destination this year, I am excited for lazy afternoons with girly classics on in the background {e.g.: Legally Blonde, Mean Girls, Miss Congeniality, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, etc.}, curling up with a good book in the early evenings, taking fun day trips to some of our favorite places on a random weekday, and spending more time in the kitchen making treats for my family. I hope you have a great weekend and some fun summer plans you’re looking forward too as well. x

Everyday this week felt like Thursday, so it’s lovely to know it finally is Thursday. Each day felt like a lazy summer afternoon {albeit with cooler weather}. From having an afternoon meditation at the spa just to relax midweek to starting a new tradition of evening walks before dinner, this week was a nice mix of relaxing and productive. I’m excited to celebrate my son’s first star birthday, aka Nakshatra, {a Hindu tradition of celebrating your birthday based on where the moon was at the time of your birth} this weekend, as well as enjoy a deep tissue massage with hot stones on Saturday. And for those of you who celebrate, I wish you a very Happy Easter weekend as well! x

{Lemon blossoms that make the air smell deliciously citrusy + produce the lemons I use for my daily afternoon lemonade now that the weather is getting warmer.}
