A playful pout

Just the other day, Rachel and I were talking about how 

much we love a bright and playful pout

Ruby reds and bold corals are often in our make-up rotation.

My current fave however,
is bright pink!

There's something wonderfully optimistic about facing the day
with a punchy smile.

And it's the perfect season to bust out your favorite electric hue,
as we all know it pairs lovely with a tan ;)

P.S. I adore Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick Creme in 'Love That Pink'

Time to dance!

Lovelies, it's FRIDAY!!!

Hallelujah!

And because everyone needs to do a little happy dance when Friday comes, 

here's a song for you to do just that :)

“I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.”

Audrey Hepburn

PS. Isn't this photo of Audrey surprising?

Such a funny contrast!

PPS. In the summer, I'm planning to finally read this biography on Audrey Hepburn's life, written by her son. What an interesting perspective!

Hello friend

To our lovely readers, yes, we have been away for a while.

Life has been full, in the best way possible.

Weekend adventures to the cabin, outdoor concerts, catching up with long-lost friends,

 and leisurely evenings spent with family.

Yes, indeed, it has been good.

We hope to share with you some snap shots of what we've been up to in the coming weeks,

as well as our recent musings, inspiring quotes, and upcoming travel plans :)

It's less than 10 days till summer solstice and the beginning of a wonderful season filled with adventure.

Hooray!

xoxo

Some days...

You just need to 

DANCE.

Here's to Monday, and another week closer to summer ;)

A pocket full of daisies?

Do you have a favorite flower? Or do you fancy a few ;)
It's rather difficult to narrow it down to just one isn't it?
There's just so many to love!

Blushing peonies, classic red roses, exotic orchids, or colorful dahlias,
they're all lovely.

One of my favorite moments in You've Got Mail, 

is when Tom Hanks visits a Meg Ryan and greets her with a bouquet of daisies...

"I love daisies. They're so friendly. Don't you think daisies are the friendliest flower?"

Yes, Meg, my thoughts exactly.

I do however; I have one flower that stands out from the rest.

 Lilacs.

They recall to mind, memories of my Mummu's {Finnish for Grandma} house.
Freshly cut from the garden, their scent wafting lazily in the air.
I'm transported to a time long long ago.
Delicious...

So tell me, do you have a favorite?

Have a fabulous weekend!!!

xoxo

P.S. I received a surprise bouquet of flowers yesterday, and it was delightful :)
