Blackberries brought to me at the office

 

As I go through my photos from week to week, I realize how frequently, the one image to describe that day is of food. But, then I laugh because I am Southern and our lives are dictated by food. Whether it is just an amazing meal or a fabulous excuse to connect with people I adore, everything revolves around food. 

Even if you aren't doing this Photo-A-Day project, what would your days look like??

Literary Hunger

 

This is where I have been for the past few days...

Lost in the pages of Suzanne Collins' brilliant work that has taken the world by storm...

It is so hard not to get lost in the stories of Katniss Everdeen, Peeta Mellark and the rest of the indescribably multi-dimensional characters that make up The Hunger Games Trilogy...

 These are truly some of the best books that I've read in awhile, 

and considering that I am unapologetically, a serious nerd... 

they've had some seriously tough literary competition to stand up to...

But, I truly love these books and; although I'm only in the middle of Catching Fire, 

I cannot wait to see how things continue to unfold...

Have you read the series yet??

Wedding Season; Round 2

Well... it's that time again...

Wedding Season...

I must say, however, that this time around; I am actually looking forward to the festivities that celebrate one of my best friends and her future husband; and am truly honored to be a part of this momentous time in their lives. Brandie and Parker compliment each other remarkably well, and to see a man who truly adores my friend; well... that is indescribable. Saturday night, we all gathered for the first of many pre-wedding celebrations to honor my sweet friends. It was a lovely and intimate affair where everyone was truly just overcome with love and well wishes for the couple. Seeing my friend so in love, and so genuinely happy, is one of the greatest gifts in this life.

What a beautiful way to celebrate the tremendous love of two extraordinary people.

In honor of a woman whose talent will be unmatched forever...

Rest in Peace Etta James...

Thank you for sharing your gifts with us all...

You have certainly made the world more beautiful...

Products I LOVE!

Here's a little secret about me...

I cannot paint my own nails properly.

This is not an exaggeration.

It gets really messy and ugly when I try to paint my own nails.

This does not, however, keep me from attempting such a risky project.

But, awhile ago, I picked up my first bottle of RGB Nail polish

from my hair stylist.

Que the sound of angels singing

FINALLY!

Someone came up with a polish that even I cannot screw up!

RGB has some of the most fabulous colors,

and it dries within a minute or so...

This is perfect for impatient, restless people like myself...

Not to mention, that this magical little product was somehow created

so that excess polish can be easily wiped from your fingers

and the brush is a perfect size for even short (nonexistent) nails like mine...

This is when you close your computer

and run out to buy some...

I'll be here when you get back...
