Monthly Favorites | April

May 8, 2018 · Leave a Comment

It’s funny, last Monday, less than a week before the first wedding of the season. I was feeling an immense sense calm before the last minute nerve of butterflies all wedding planners get, especially when relying on multiple vendors at one time. A wedding is someone’s special day, it’s your job to make sure it runs smoothly. So between making the last few bits of decor, there wasn’t much time for gathering ideas, but I did make some extra time to reflect on April, and the blur of a month it was. It did teach me a few new things and inspired me for this new month upon us. I’m being inspired by my favorite color of green alongside an earth tone color palette, sustainable DIY ideas, effortless white linen wardrobe staples and powerful moving documentaries about injustices that are happening to thousands in our country and need to be stopped…these are a few of the things I’ve been loving lately…..

If you’re looking to watch documentaries that will open your eyes, teach out about the government, how are criminal justice system works including all its many flaws that highly suggest you watch Vice’s “Raised in the System”it’s a look inside the lives of teens in the justice facilities they are detained in but also the several systems and locations that these children attend to prevent them from living the rest of their lives in jail. It is very sad, especially when they visit a school and have a serous talk with the students whose family have at least one person incarcerated. And if you’re not already watching the ground and news breaking Vice News ,you really need to! You learn a lot of the real things that are going on in the world that regular cable news doesn’t inform on.

If you’ve seen any SVU type crime show, you know that there are cases where a rape doesn’t make it in court, well because the rape kit doesn’t even get processed. “I Am Evidence” a documentary that explores this sad reality and isn’t easy one to watch, especially if you’re a woman, even more if you happen to be a survivor of rape. It exposes the scary number of untested rape kits in this country and sheds some light on how ridiculous the criminal justice system has treated sexual assault survivors. It mostly takes place in just one area, but this is happening all across the country. It showcases the stories of survivors, including the charge of their abuser and end to their pursuit of long-awaited justice of their cases. 

I’ve basically stopped watching my regular binges, aside from my usual week night shows,to start watching The Office all over again. It will forever be one of my absolute favorite shows, it’s been quiet a bit of time since I’ve actually watched an episode. Gasp! I know what’s wrong with me , but I’ve fallen in love, and off my chair laughing all over again. It’s what got me through a crazy April, and first wedding of the year. I mean is there anything better than watching Michael and Dwight’s crazy antics or Pam and Jim’s love story. NO! 

Timeless has been full of surprises, all before even getting through half the season. I mean Jessica, really?? Something is fishy there, I just know it!…..And if we’re talking about shockers. Did you see Jane the Virgin’s seasonal finale?!?! I’m not going to ruin it for anyone who hasn’t watched it yet, but WHAAAAAAT!?! I most definitely wasn’t expecting that!

Westworld is back and more weird, intricate and intriguing as the first season. Do you watch? Are you finding Season 2 difficult to grasp?


 

 

 

When it came to music, you can bet that April was full of indie folk favorites and new beats that will make you feel something. With a mix of jazz, dance, folk, indie, alternative…the songs in this Hello Spring Folk playlist are perfect for a spring and summer playlist. I’ve been loving discovering so many new artists and songs on Spotify’s discover playlists like Wild + Free and Happy Folk, totally fun free spirit music. There was also a lot of Lucius, like a lot! I listened to so many of their song lately, I love their style and attitude yes, but their unique voices and infectious beats get me everything time! 


What has been inspiring you lately?? Do you have any creative or fun plans for May and the rest of Spring?

Dreamery Headshot_2020

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. Travel is a constant source of inspiration and motivation. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

This week may have been a lot but at least it ende This week may have been a lot but at least it ended w. pretty flowers for little Adelaide! Her 3rd birthday may not be as big as her “Some Bunny is 1” or “Peppa Pig Muddy Puddles” celebrations but her loved ones are sure to make her special day “Berry Sweet”🍓🌸
E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expan E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expanding"💫

this year I choose to expand on the
lessons last year served us...
I expand upon all my visions, dreams & intentions
I aim to expand on love, abundance, health, joy, comfort, courage, creativity, adventure, calm, authenticity, w.e big or small that makes my soul sing & thus expand upon my growth.
But I wholeheartedly hope that this year can help others expand on all the good things they want as well -- especially in global terms🤍

I haven't set resolutions in years, instead I always set intentions -- little things that become part of who I am & in turn become the steps to bring all those images I'm inspired by, into life in my own way.

I'm simplifying even more & stripping it down, choosing to always show myself, & others,
more Grace. I quite enjoy this slow but intentional path. Yes, embracing a fresh new start seems appealing, but there’s much uncertainty still to face & we have a whole year ahead of us.

There’s time to get it done so no need to rush into it...show yourself & others some grace, be a Kind human always, because anything can happen✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adeus 2020... It‘ll be impossible to forget you, Adeus 2020...
It‘ll be impossible to forget you, you broke us, but you also reminded us how we resilient we are. Your chapter is closed, good riddance!!

Ironically my word for 2020 was “Bliss” yet despite all the grief, the heartbreak + emotional rollercoaster I think all of us, although at times hard, did see the silver linings this past year brought. Personally, I realized early on the immense amount of Bliss that was already present in my life, perhaps more so if this year wasn’t what it was.

No, there weren’t Big Blissful moments or travels, but there was so many moments to enjoy the simple pleasures of every day. More time in the garden, a newfound excitement in the kitchen, endless cloud gazing — birdsong listening — butterfly + dragonfly catching — soothing sunsets + always stopping to smell the roses moments. Blissful moments to create whatever it was I felt like doing, moments to appreciate what truly matters in life + what of that is what always needs to be present in life. The chance to escape in the safety of nature + loved ones. The blissful opportunity to rest, to mentally wander, to learn what stillness really is. 

I gave myself grace this year & a well deserved pat on the back, & I really hope you did the same!! As I sail into 2021 I remember just how important all these moments are for growth + Expansion…

Things won’t change right away but all I can wish for all of us in 2021 is abundance, health, unity, joy & Love🤍🤍
Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merr Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merry Christmas🤍❄️ this year certainly doesn’t feel the same, we’re not gathering w. our loved ones, in fact for many this holiday season has been even more stress inducing than other years. But it doesn’t mean it can’t be magical & wonderful & beautiful whether you’re with your kids, your parents or spending it alone. Don’t forget to make it special & honor your favorite traditions, even if just for yourself!!

May these final days of the year be calm, be love & may brighter days shine upon us all next year✨🌿
