I Love my Friends

Tomorrow is my birthday. I have no idea what my dears have arranged,  but I received my first clue this morning and it is precious!! I love you guys, xoxo !!!!!!

Adorable

I just read about this birthday/celeberation tree on Oh Happy Day , what a precious and simple idea that would bring SO much joy. I absolutely love it.

Sunny Beats

So in SF, my dear friends introduced me to the perfect sunny day music; King Sunny Ade and His African Beats. To me, it sounds like summer, nothing short of a dreamy drum circle on a far away beach at sunset with your best friends and a cocktail served out of a coconut. What a way to start the weekend !!

Enjoy !!

Tour de DC

The sun is out and tomorrow is bike to work day. Show your support for our favorite mode of transportation and  come downtown and cheer on some brave bikers and our friend Chris during the Business Casualley Cat Race  this Saturday !!!

Movies in the Park

Summer is here !! NoMa Summer Screen is a free weekly outdoor film festival,  that features a  local BBQ by Smokin' Somethin', popcorn and Italian ice, and music by Fatback. What a wonderful way to enjoy a Wednesday night picnic in the park, snuggled up on a blanket under the stars. 

Meatless Mondays

Support the meatless monday movement, a groovy international campaign that encourages people to cut meat out of their diet once a week to improve your health and the health of our dear planet, and check out some yummy vegetarian recipes to cook tonight.

Design On the Go

Next winter, my little brother wants to convert an old van into a 4x4 home and explore national parks across the country. It is a crazy idea, but once you check out landscape architect Andreas Stravropoulos'  airstream, it also seems quite brilliant and a ton of fun.

West is Best

Hello my lovies,

I'm on vaca out west, and wish you all were here with me. It is heaven. Anyway, enjoy the week and catch some rays. I'll post pictures and adventure stories soon.

Chivalry is Not Dead

Sometimes living in a city gets me down. I hate having doors slammed in my face, being cut in line, or never being offered a hand when its obvious that lending one would really help. The other day though, on my way into the apartment full of bags spilling all over and almost in tears, one of my neighbors came to my rescue and helped me. It was so sweet, so chivalrous. What a true gent !!

Anyway, these adorably hilarious pictures really inspired me to keep spreading the love around. I know that you dears are already so kind, but I ask you all this week to go out of your way and do something extra nice to a stranger. Imagine how lovely the world would be if we all put in the extra effort. XO.

Sweet Southern Comfort

Kentucky is incredible, we truly had a lovely time full of true southern hospitality. It was delightful. I am going to develop my pictures later this week, and will get some of the digital ones sent over soon. They are a ton of fun , you will dig !!

Anyway, a little shout out to my dear friend Alex, who played a very sweet hostess this weekend. I've been searching through the gluten free websites, and found this one which has some super yummy recipes. Check it out !!

Lots of love, xoxo
