Semi Wordless Wednesday: So Long, Sweet Summer

August's ending is fast approaching, and with that ending comes the end of summer and beginning of Autumn. While it will remain warm here in Arizona, that lazy, wistful, and carefree feeling of summer is definitely fading away replaced by school, work, and an overall more stressful and crazier life. So today's post is dedicated to summer, arguably the best season, because of its sense of fun, adventure, and youth. Till next year...

Belle and Sebastian's song really captures the feeling of summer - especially one's spent at home during the waning years of my childhood.

Semi Wordless Wednesday: Potential

 

via

Today, I feel like life is filled with so much potential. I'm starting a new job, school starts tomorrow, and I'm on the cusp of graduating from college and entering into the real world. It's an exciting time filled with so much opportunity, and I'm so grateful and joyous that life has such potential. So even though it's cliched and I sound like a life coach, carpe diem, and seize the positive potential of today!

Semi Wordless Wednesday: Friends with Benefits

I absolutely loved the movie Friends with Benefits, so I had to share it with you for Semi Wordless Wednesday at Flip Flops and Pearls. It was a riot and the whole theater was crying with laughter. Just be prepared for a LOT of sexual humor. One of the best parts of the film was the great chemistry between Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake. They are so believable and hot together; you really root for them to end up together. This editorial from Elle really demonstrates that va-va-voom chemistry.

Semi Wordless Wednesday: Disney Treats

I took these pictures for Semi Wordless Wednesday with Flip Flops and Pearls two weeks ago when my family visited Disney World. Disney is the master of making money off of and merchandising ANYTHING. They'll turn any product into something Disney and sell it to you, especially at Disney World. 

One product that was endlessly Disney-fied was candy. So much bright, colorful candy with a touch of Disney magic - they could definitely give Dylan's Candy Bar a run for its money. All of the treats are so cute; it almost gives me a sweet tooth looking at them...

Semi Wordless Wednesday: Catching Up

Happy Semi Wordless Wednesday with Flip Flops and Pearls! I've been spending a lot of time working and catching up with old friends, and I hope I'll get to see more of them in the near future! It's so great to regroup after being apart for so long and just picking up where we left off. So I thought I'd take a trip down memory lane and look at some embarrassing high school pictures of all the great times we had together. <3

Semi Wordless Wednesday: Healthy Motivation

For the past couple weeks, I've been trying to focus on healthy living especially when it comes to exercise. I really lost track of taking care of my health and fitness last semester, so this summer I am totally zoned in on getting my body back in a healthy, fighting form. Here are some images that help keep me motivated and hitting the gym even on days when I feel like I can't, and I hope they motivate you too!
