nostalgic summer

this is what summer looks like to me.
teetering stacks of thick, familiar books.
glaring bright sunlight reflected off salty, cool ocean water.
sparklers illuminating a warm summer night.
waking up cozy in the morning light under fresh sheets to no alarm.
time to create, to paint, to write, to live, to breathe.
following the signs to the beach, barefoot on the scorching sand.
a steaming cup of coffee in the morning in a cool house.
fresh strawberries washed clean under the kitchen sink.
windows down, radio on, feeling the rushing air tousle your hair and buffet your hand out the sunroof drives.
i'm way past ready.

HAH i said i was taking a break but after finally writing another post i couldn't not write another one. it just felt too good to be back. i'm writing this wednesday and i think i'm gonna burst if i don't post it right now, but i'll wait till friday. this is a good post for a friday. // all these pictures can be found on my nostalgia board w/ my sister or my relax board on my pinterest here.

so, what does summer look like to you?

winter // mood board

hi guys. so this past week has been that one week of the month and i've had a cold and started classes and that combination seems to have sucked any energy or writing ability out of me. getting all these feels. hahahahahahahahhaahaha i promise i'm fine. anyway, since the words are all just jammed up somewhere in my mind, i thought i'd channel my creativity elsewhere. i'm trying desperately not to despair over the eternity that is winter, so i tried to switch it to thinking about the good vibes of winter. so here's the product! all these lovely pins can be found on my pinterest account here. my pinterest account is super awesome. it makes me seem way cooler than i actually am in real life so you should check it out.

what is your favorite part about winter? do you like winter or are you despairing over it's eternity too? what's your favorite season? any tips on staying warm and cozy and happy during the short, cold days?
