Better To Be Back???

Happy Tuesday, loves!  How are you all this morning?  Hope very well.

I never thought I'd say this but I was actually quite happy to be back at work yesterday.  Guess that tells you how sick I was feeling on my time off, huh?  Even though I'm not yet 100% there is something about the world of beauty that made everything seem a bit better.  That and being back to you beauties.  Things are on the upswing. :)

Have a beautiful day, sweets!

Back To Pretty

Hi loves! Happy Monday! It's so good to be back after my break.

Thank you all so much for the kind words over the past week. It really touched me to hear from all of you.  I rested up and am starting to feel better. In addition to my illness I've been having a tough time with the medicine I have to take. All in all I was quite the mess but I am slowly getting better with each day.

It was hard to be away...actually this was the longest break I've ever taken in 3 1/2 years of writing this blog. I missed you all but I'm back now. So fill me in. What did I miss? Did you all have a good week/weekend? Sure hope you all did :)

I'll be around soon to say hi. But in the meantime, I wish you the most beautiful of Mondays!

Bit Of A Break

Happy Monday, loves!  Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

I'm taking an unexpected blog break until July 9th.  I've been having some health problems lately and need the time to just rest and recuperate.  Nothing too serious.  Hopefully I'll be back to normal soon.  For now I'll just be staying at the beach taking it easy.  Hopefully I'll get through some books and maybe even pamper myself a bit.

Have a lovely week and for all of you in the US have a wonderful 4th!

Beach Baby

Happy Friday, lovelies! How are you all doing this morning?

It's the weekend so that means I'm heading back to the beach.  And it couldn't come at a better time because we're having another heatwave here in NY.  But first things first and I'll be making a stop at my sisters for a Father's Day BB. We had to postpone celebrations a few weeks because my Dad was busy on the actual day.

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend and I'll see you all on Monday!

Feel Like A Fiesta

Hi loves!  Happy Thursday to you!

I don't know if it's just me but I've been craving and indulging in Mexican food a lot this summer.  And I mean a lot.  At least once a week {often twice a week} when I'm in the city and that's only 3 or 4 days a week.  That's a far cry from my usual once every 6 weeks or so routine.

 Not sure what it is.  Maybe it's the al fresco aspect of it.  I'm usually sitting outdoors or at least by an open window.  Or maybe it's just the margaritas and other delicious beverages calling my name.  Whatever it is, I'm liking it.  Not sure my waist is liking it but I hardly care these days :)

Am I alone here or do I have some fellow Mexican lovers with me?

Enjoy the day, sweets!  And happy almost Friday!

xoxo

Lady of Leisure

Hi loves! And happy mid-week to you all!

More daydreaming today coming your way. I've finally gotten around to reading some books this summer at the beach house and I'm having a hard time putting the books down once the work week starts. Unfortunately there's little or no time to read during the week. Would love to be able to find some time to indulge in some reading over the next few days. Ah to be a lady of leisure.  One can dream, right? :)

Have a wonderful day, sweets!

Perfect Day For A Picnic

Good morning, loves!  Hope the week is off to a great start!

I'm back to my weekly work routine and wouldn't you know it, after one day at work I'm already ready to kick off my shoes and head on over to the park for a picnic.  I guess it's not that weird because I've yet to have one this season so I'm really itching for one.  And today's weather would be perfect for it.

When's the last time you were able to enjoy a picnic?

Enjoy the day, sweets!

Morning Beauties!

Happy Monday, lovelies!  And welcome to a brand new week!  Hope you all had an incredible weekend.

Back to a more polished existance for a few days.  It's so funny, being at the beach a few days a weeky is amazing and all but there is something very nice about coming back to normal life and the pretty things.  Not saying the beach isn't pretty.  But you know, it's a more casual beachy approach to life.

Planning on blowing my hair out, putting on a pretty dress and picking up some flowers on the way to work today.

What little ways will you make your life pretty today?

Summer Weekend Sign Off!

Good morning, loves!  Hope you're all having a wonderful start to summer!

It's brutally hot here in NYC so I'm escaping to the beach early this week in an attempt to cool off a bit.  I heard that the water is already 70 degrees so it'll be a nice refreshment from the near 100 degree temps we're having.

Have a fabulous weekend, sweets and I'll see you all Monday!

Hello, Summer!

Happy first day of summer, sweets!  Well for those of you in the northern hemisphere.  For those of you in the southern hemisphere happy winter.  Feel free to enjoy some of the warmth and summer fun I'm sending your way :)

It feels like it's been summer time for quite a while now especially since I've been enjoying beach time since the middle of May.  And I'm hoping it stays this way.  Looking forward to many more months of summer filled with lots of fun in the sun.  Hope you all get to enjoy it to the fullest!

Don't Mind If I Do

Good morning, loves!  How's the week shaping up for you? 

Dreaming of having a little outdoor time this week before a heatwave hits on Thursday.  It's going to be 97 degrees here in NYC which means I'll be all about the AC for a few days.  And if I have to be outside I'd like to have one of two of these refreshers to make it more bearable.  Juices of blackberries and cucumbers are mixed with muddled fresh mint, laced with Hendricks gin, then poured over lots of ice.  Sounds good to me.  What do you say?  Care to join me?

Enjoy the day, sweets!

Lazy Monday

Good morning, beauties!  And happy Monday to you all!  Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

Mine was a great one.  I mean who can complain being at the beach all weekend long, right?  However I did get back to the city very late last night so I'm wishing that I could have a lazy morning lounging about before I had to face the day.  Not quite the case, so off to work I go!

Enjoy the day, loves and I'll be by soon to say hi :)

xoxo
