Basking In Autumn...


Lately I have been loving the mood-boards and collages that other bloggers have been creating! I decided to make one of my own focused on Autumn-inspired images. Being surrounded by birch trees, mini white pumpkins, roasting marshmallows, and enjoying a hot cup of apple cider- all of these things sound perfectly lovely! I'm trying to make the most of this season and take advantage of all of the things that go along with it. Looking at these photos makes me want to bask in the festivities of Fall.

Peace and Love,

Free People November 2012...


I am constantly looking for inspiration and one of my favorite places to find it is in photographs. Yesterday I picked up the November catalogue from Free People and was instantly blown away. These photos are gorgeous!! I LOVE the settings, the clothes, everything! I think this might be one of my favorite lookbooks ever.   

Peace and Love,

93 Million Miles From The Sun...

 Be prepared because this post might get a little bit sappy. Last night I got to see an artist who has truly impacted my life, not only through his music, but also through his lifestyle and actions. You have heard me talk about him before and I am sure that this won't be the last time; to me, Jason Mraz is one beautiful soul. I believe that God puts certain people in our lives and I really do believe that he has placed Jason Mraz and his music in mine. Throughout the past couple of years I have faced a major battle with depression and it is one that I still fight. Some days are good and some days are awful but with Mraz's music and words I can feel myself healing. He has inspired me to live a better life, to be a better person, to not worry my life away, and to take the fullest advantage of the time that I have here on earth. Sometimes when I am having a really bad day all I have to do is put on one of his records and I feel reassured that I have a purpose here. And for that I thank him with all my heart. 

His opening act was Christina Perri, who I already adored but after last night I came to love her. Her voice is just flawless and her songwriting is brilliant.  

And then the man hit the stage and things just got magical...

Here's a video I found of him singing  You & I Both last night.  


Needless to say, last night was amazing! There was even a point where I was so moved that, yes, I was brought to tears. I hope that I will get to see Jason live again someday. Until then.... 

Peace and Love,

P.s. The pictures of Jason are not my own. My crappy camera died right when Christina finished singing. I found these lovely gems online.
