ian had a birthday

he's my oldest gkiddo

he got a new scooter

and an afternoon at our local skate park

where he said

"i LOVE this place - this is my new LIFE"

lol, that cracks me up

he got an 8 ball and said its going to stay on his

desk ALL year

: : eight is great : : 

the black light bowling until midnight & overnighter w/ a table of sugar

helped too :))



refresh

pacifica

recently "discovered" pacifica at target

i've seen it many times beachside 

but overlooked it not knowing about the company

happily discovered they seem to be

exactly

what i've been looking for in natural fragrance

no chemicals or bad stuff 

co-founder Brooke Taylor is a cali surfer

and her scents are reminiscent of her

exotic travels

hawaiian ruby guava 
 refreshing and light

whats your favorite natural scent?

: bloom :

hello

hope your 2013 is blooming

beautifully

try 'em

beautifully soothing
