it's no good unless it's real.


one of my favorite small businesses on the florida coast is carnival confections in sebastian. the entire place is shaped like a carnival tent, and they have yummy muffins and cupcakes! i've been on a floral skirt binge, and all i really wanted was a red velvet cupcake to match my skirt :)

last night i was looking back through some old e-mails matt and i sent eachother when he lived in nicaragua and i lived in NYC, and they made me so teary eyed/happy.

life feels good to me when:
♥ i remember why matt and i fell in love and how worth it being apart for almost a year was. because now we get to build an entire exciting life together :)
♥ my career feels like it is heading in the right direction and going to work doesn't feel like a job
♥ the people closest to me are all inspiring & good people.
♥ my family is healthy
♥ there are goals and dreams ahead of me that i can work toward and achieve. reaching goals is the best feeling.

i just love making happy life lists. try it! sometimes it can make you realize how good things really are :)

Love your list :) It made me smile. You look adorable! Also, I saw your tweet about cutting your hair, and while I love your hair long I think a pixie cut would be beyond adorable on you. I'm in love with short hair and could live vicariously through you! :) (with my curls it would never work on me). Do it!

Cynthia Bagué said...

Cute as always! Love the bag :)
