Well, hello there!

So I have been totally M.I.A from the blogging world for the last couple of weeks, but I think I have a  (or a few) good reasons. First, a childhood friend came to visit, then, my mother came to visit, and then, I had to catch up on work due to the time off I took for said visits.

Although the last few days have been crazy, it was well worth getting to spend time with some of the my dearest. And now I am leaving in less that 48 hours to Chicago for a "business trip". That makes me sound so grown up, but in reality I am more excited about getting to see this than doing networking for my firm.

I will try to update in the next few days, but if I don't, I at least wanted to share some beautiful inspiration I have found during the last weeks.


like taking the time to smell the flowers and enjoy small colorful things...

...savor a tasty, girly drink (specially if it's a little spiked)...

... let your toes sink slowly into the sand and relax...

 ...or enjoy one (or a bunch) of your favorite chocolate treats....

and always remember:


Hope everyone's week is going well!

xoxo,
Pilar
