The Travel Bug

Thanks to my new love for the website Pinterest, I found the most amazing blog. It is a photography website picturing some of the most beautiful, exotic, and exciting places in the world – and some pretty fearless people who have the courage to do some things I will never consider doing. Since moving to Ireland, I’ve become a huge fan of traveling. For a gal who had never left North America before March 2010, I am now bitten with the traveling bug. With my discovery of this website, SUNSURFER, I am now intrigued with the possibility of seeing some of these magical places. However, this website also tunes me into some not-so-appealing excursions, as well.

Yes, please:

I would love so much to be part of something like this. Amazing.

This is supposed to be the most beautiful place.

No, thank you:

No way, no how – you couldn’t pay me all the money in the world to do this.

Yes, there is a common theme here: heights. Wouldn’t do this either.

Thanks, Sunsurfer, for letting me share some of your pictures. To all my readers, you have to check out this website in full. I could spend hours looking at all of the photos, they are so incredible.

My Reasons to Like Monday

Ah, the end of a weekend and start of another beautiful Monday. It’s no secret that most people loath Mondays, because they mean the next weekend is oh so far away. I’m not really minding this Monday, though. For me, it means sitting back down and really delving into writing. It’s lots and lots and lots of coffee, because I’ve given up the typical weekend “sleep ’til eleven” mentality. It also means I have a whole week to start reading a new advanced reader’s copy I have in my possession. There is something extremely fun about knowing that I have my hands on a book that has not yet been released to the masses!

So, to start off a new week of inspiration and creativity, this is what I’m currently loving:

This is not my hand, but this is the current color of my nails. I’m still trying to ward off that quickly approaching fall season.

I’m exercising again, which feels great! But, sometimes you need a little inspiration like this to get you going.

I’ve been seeing these “outfit creations” all over Pinterest. I love things like this, because it helps me figure out how to pull my outfits together.

Love her and I’ve gotta see The Help as soon as possible! I enjoyed the book tremendously, so I’m dying to see the movie.

Summertime and the Living’s Easy

Pinterest, Pinterest.com

Boooooo!!! I'm not ready for autumn! Although, this is still a pretty nifty idea...

Why are people in such a rush for the autumn season to arrive? Everywhere I turn on the internet, people are talking about fall, posting about fall, or preparing for the recipes and holidays attributed to the season. This observation I’ve made may have something to do with my newfound obsession with Pinterest, where I’m seeing most of these exclamations for this brisk time of year. And sure, autumn excites me because my birthday is situated right in the heart of it. But come on! August JUST ended. Can’t we enjoy a few more weeks of sunshine, blistering temperatures, and the far-off sounds of ice cream trucks? Pretty please? I’ve just spent the past year of my life in a place where the temperature only makes it into the 70′s every once in awhile, so I don’t think this is too much to ask. :)

In honor of summer ~

So nautical.

Beach Hat – now this makes me think of summer!

Peach shorts, white top, brightly painted nails – definitely summertime.

I think this one is self-explanatory…

Come back and ask me how I feel about autumn in October. ;)

Inspired

I’m feeling inspired.

As you may have noticed (and I hope you have since you should be an avid reader of mine ;) ), I took a bit of a summer hiatus on the blogging front. I was enjoying my summer by spending time with friends and family, while helping Matt recover from his hip surgery. Well, now I’d like to ease back into the blogosphere by spending September sharing my favorite things from my new favorite obsession, Pinterest.

I’m inspired to do this little overhaul on the blog, because I cannot spend quite as much time “writing” as I used to. I am working on another writing project at the moment, but I didn’t want to abandon my creative space completely. Luckily, my discovery of Pinterest has sparked new inspired ideas and obsessions in areas like cooking, home decor, style & fashion, and so on. I hope you don’t mind if I share with you for awhile, as I explore this new website and experiment with some of the things I find. Mixed with my tried and true book reviews, September should be light and fun!

Here are a few new things I’m liking ~

If I ever lived in a perfect year-round climate and could set-up a backyard like this one, I’d never come inside.

Football season is almost here – who wouldn’t love to have some pizza bites to munch on while cheering on their favorite team?!

Her blog is already one of my favorites and she’s listed on my blogroll, so I “pinned” this summer look at Pinterest. I may not be fashion forward enough to create this look on my own, so that’s why I peruse her blog!

Do you love to laugh? Well, I do! And I found this at my new favorite website and it cracked me up. It’s the little things…

I did this after my run today and IT WAS HARD!
