Friday Favorites

September 5, 2014 · Leave a Comment

Friday Favorites Students have returned back to school, football has officially started, and pumpkin is everywhere, it’s definitely September. I’m not ready to say goodbye to summer and warm weather, which thankfully hasn’t gone anywhere just yet. It seems like everywhere you look, we’ve moved on from slower days and focusing on the present, right into routines and holiday planning. I too am guilty of this, catching myself planning a Thanksgiving menu already. I took a step back and told myself “what are you doing?”, get outside a enjoy the hot sun as long as you can. But September does make it feel like a new season has already begun, and I’ve been feeling inspired, motivated, and empowered. I set goals for myself daily, and yearly, but I also do it at the beginning of each season. Although, it may not be Fall yet, and not that I’m rushing it either, I felt a seasonal rejuvenation to jot down goals for myself this season. My main focus is for self-improvement in all areas of my life. You shouldn’t want to settle even if you’re happy and content, you should always strive for more, and these are just a few images from the past weeks that have inspired and empowered me. Do you set goals for yourself each season, what are you planning to do this Fall? Whatever you plan on, have a great weekend.

1. Live a Happy Whole Life. I love The Everygirl’s monthly challenges, for September it’s about Self-Improvement, and for me that will include the things that fulfill me personally and career wise. Aim to be the best version of myself everyday.

2. Live sustainably, and find ways to give back to the community. Volunteer at a garden, learn more about horticulture, takes classes, support local farmers and organic businesses.

3. Embrace the season of Fall. Go apple and pumpkin picking, experiment with new pie and ice cream seasonal flavors, incorporate fall florals and decor into the home, create a fall drink, discover hidden gems and adventure near my hometown. Appreciate the change in nature.

4. Pursue your passions. Work on strengthening photography skills, dig deeper during meditations, do things that challenge my creativity, learn more about topics that interest me, and continue learning my ukulele.

5. Commit to yourself, your daily goals and tasks. Keep your vision and career in sight, and don’t judge any opportunity that comes my way. Show up, be present.

Dreamery Headshot_2020

A Lover of Nature & Kindness, constantly smitten by the simple pleasures of life. Travel fills my soul with bliss & inspiration. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing. I love the outdoors & live for al fresco dinner parties, cozy candlelit romantic affairs with warm fires & blankets to share.

I dream about these things, it’s true. Yes, it’s all the small details in life that drive me & everything I do because we all deserve to celebrate every special moment in our lives…

Little Delia is turning 5 this weekend! I still ca Little Delia is turning 5 this weekend! I still can’t believe that time has passed by & I’ve been lucky to have done her birthdays since she was 1. So here’s a little walk down memory lane to all her past sweet & fun parties🌸

• 4th Boho Butterfly Garden
• 3rd I Scream for Ice Cream Bash
• 2nd Pink Sparkle & Balloons
• 1st Enchanted Forest
This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chriss This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chrissyteigen recipe wouldn’t be considered traditional but it does celebrate the beautiful Thai flavors I love. I’ll take all the spice & lemongrass please🍜😋!! It’s certainly become a staple of mine, one I’ve recreated several times & I highly recommend you save in your back pocket because it will leave you craving more...& more!! 

I used to post lots of recipes on the blog ‘til weddings/events/design took center stage & hoping to do so more again. Get this recipe on the blog now!
I read something yesterday, that made me instantly I read something yesterday, that made me instantly stop & reflect..."Some people think that having Hope makes you naive, but in my mind, it's so much harder to choose Hope over being angry or frustrated..." As someone who considers herself quite a hopeful person, I've had this on my mind since. Let's not confuse Hope w. toxic positivity {in which negative feelings or hardships are pushed aside}, when there is Hope, we still acknowledge our worries, the drawbacks of life, the sadness but still know that there is good.

We've all been doing our best nearing a year into this pandemic; the lives lost, families broken, the uncertain long-term issues, jobs, livelihoods disrupted & most recently too many people to count, struggling after a natural disaster. My heart breaks & is w. all of you, but despite the darkness, what I've also seen during these trying times...is Hope & Love. Communities & strangers coming together to help one another however way they can, even when they too are struggling to get by. That right there, is Hope. Be gentle with yourself, be gentle w. those around you. We’re all doing the best we can🤍
Finding it a bit hard to stay positive today…in Finding it a bit hard to stay positive today…in truth the state of our planet weighs heavily on me daily, but especially these last few days knowing that millions of people are struggling to have the basic necessities of staying warm & having running water in their own home. It’s baffling. But this is the sad reality that we have created as humans. Decades of corporations, governments & leaders choosing profits over the value & quality of human life & of every living organism necessary to make our ecosystems thrive.

No, not the happiest of posts, but it’s honesty. We have created the rise in repeated natural disasters, pandemics & rare diseases. And until we hold these people accountable & collectively make drastic changes, then we will continue to have these in more severe cases — so yes, more diseases, more crazy things happening to our environment & the places we love. We have created this change & it’s severely impacted every facet of our lives & future. 

My heart is w. everyone struggling right now, because this shouldn’t be happening. Please stay safe, check on your neighbors & loved ones. Help however way you can🤍
