A Splash Of Hot Pink

I am a bit of a girly girl

so the colour pink sets my heart racing.

Not really a colour that comes to mind when decorating a beach house ~

but I have still managed to squeeze a healthy dose of it into the new house.

It's a great colour to brighten up your holiday wardrobe

or add a bit of fun to a table setting.

Happy Feelings

 

 

 

  

WAYS TO MAKE YOU HAPPIER

Things that make me happy in daily life are :-

beach days, new clothes, cute cars, blogging and ice-cream.

But the happiness that comes from deep within is a different kind altogether.

1. Think positively

2. Practice acts of kindness  

3. Express gratitude

4. Be proud of what you have achieved 

5. Nurture your relationships with friends, family and loved ones  

6. Celebrate the little things and small achievements

7. Make goals and commit to them

8. Exercise, eat well and take care of your body

9. Be grateful for what you have

10. Learn to forgive 

11. Smile  

12. Savour life’s joys

Wish I Was Here!

 

Holiday Ready

Today I wish I was somewhere

faraway and exotic.

Somewhere warm and romantic

with cobbled streets and cascading flowers

foreign accents and lively cafes.

 

Instead I am buried under a pile of quotes, invoices 

samples and spreadsheets - not knowing where to begin!

Weekend Romance

 

These soft and pretty shades of pink are perfect for ~
romantic weekend get-aways with a loved one,
seafood lunches at outdoor cafes
afternoon strolls along the beach promenade with an ice-cream in hand
and lazy afternoons on the beach.
